Can you find 13 animals in this rather curious poem:
A person, as simple we are.
Catch the kid o'er the bridge.
Follow the chief, oxtail soup we like.
Anagram ANPI gives us PAIN, cower
under a ridge.

Are we having FUN yet?
YES!!! We are. As your chapter directors we have been very busy for the
first part of 2013. A great time has been had as we have visited other chapters for their Rally’s. We have enjoyed the food, rides and the camaraderie.
We have had a few great seminars, PLP’s (parking lot practices), bike maintenance, and most importantly ALL of YOU! We have had the pleasure of
welcoming some new members as well as some good memories of a few
that we have lost.
The Region Rally in Saint George, Utah at the end of May will be the first
overnighter of the year. A group of members are planning on leaving #4 at
6:00am on Thursday, May 23rd. If you would like to ride with us you are
more than welcome to do so, Please contact us if you would like to ride with
one of the members.
We are planning a Bike Maintenance day on May 18th at our house, 20350
Walnut Street Perris, CA. Danny will be available all day, until all maintenance is complete on all bikes that show up. If your bike is in need of some
work to prepare for the trip, this includes items such as: oil and filter
change, tires, brakes etc, and to include any maintenance on trailers. Tires,
repacking of wheel bearings etc. We can do it all; there will be plenty of
help from our members, at the last maintenance there were a large number
of members to help. Danny has a table lift for bikes as well as the trikes, he
also has a motorcycle floor jack. And yes there will be Coffee and Donuts if
you just want to come and enjoy. We hope that all is well and that you can
come out and ride with us soon.
Ride Often, Ride Safe, Let’s Ride!!!!

Safe Driving Tips for Motorists
About half of all motorcycle crashes involve a collision with another vehicle. In many crashes, the driver
never saw the motorcyclist — or didn't see the rider until it was too late. There are many reasons why
other drivers do not see motorcyclists.

Most car drivers aren't familiar with motorcycles and don't look for them in traffic.

Motorcycle riders often wear leathers which are usually dark in color and can easily blend into the
background.

Motorcycles are smaller than other vehicles, so they are more difficult to spot in traffic and can be
hidden by other vehicles or roadside features.

Daytime headlight use does not give motorcycle riders much of an advantage anymore, due to the
widespread use of daytime running lights on cars.
The smaller size and single headlight on the motorcycle make it more difficult for other drivers to judge
a rider's speed and distance.
GWRRA encourages everyone — drivers and motorcyclists — to practice these techniques to make motorcycling safer for everyone.

When turning left: Most crashes between vehicles and motorcycles involve turning left at an intersection. If crossing traffic or turning left, look twice for motorcycles before turning.

Blind spots: Motorcycles are easily hidden in traffic. Always take a second look over your shoulder
— don’t rely solely on your mirrors.

Weather: Rain and sun glare can make a motorcycle "invisible." Take an extra moment to make
sure the way is clear.

Signals: Use turn signals. This allows the rider to anticipate traffic flow and find a safe lane position.

Larger vehicles: Cars and trucks can conceal a motorcycle traveling behind it. Take an extra moment
after a larger vehicle passes before beginning a turn

Eye contact: Motorcyclists make eye contact often to feel confident that other drivers see them.
Give a nod back to acknowledge them.

Distance: Motorcyclists prefer to use a large space cushion, allowing them more time to react. Do
not cut in front of a motorcycle and eliminate the safe following distance.
Signals: Most motorcycle turn signals do not cancel automatically. If a cycle is coming, and the signal
is flashing, wait a moment for the cycle to pass.

The Daily Commuter Part 2
You may recall from my last article that I became a Daily Commuter on my bike, starting in March. (If you
didn’t, go to the bird cage, pick the article off the bottom of the cage, then re-read it. On second thought,
you can just go to the website and see the entire newsletter for April.) Add another month of commuting,
and there are quite a few more things I’ve learned (or re-learned, as the case may be).
I said it last month, and I’ll say it again. When you ride your bike often, it’s easy to take things for granted.
Things like oil life, tire pressure, tire wear, headlights and taillights. OK, I’ll come clean and say I’ve been
there and I’ve done that. Yes, I’ve been trying to do T-CLOCS regularly, but mine was done with a lower
case “T.” You see, I looked at the tires, but I really didn’t see them, if you know what I mean. It was only
when I got down on the ground and really examined the tires that I noticed they were getting low on tread.
I checked the wear indicators on the rear tire and the tires had almost worn down to be even with the indicators. Ouch! I decided that it was high time to get some new tires, while I was still living to enjoy them.
The bike looks good with those new Dunlop Elite IIIs on it, and I feel a LOT safer.
And while I’m talking tires, I’d like to share another experience that was almost as unenjoyable as becoming one with the pavement. I had won a set of tires at a rally perhaps 2 or 3 years ago (don’t remember for
sure, and there was no date on the gift certificate). When I called the business to get my well-worn tires
replaced, they initially were going to disallow my certificate, due to the lapse of time. In the end they made
good on the certificate (which is why I will not name the business), but suffice to say that you had best
check with the business in advance before cashing in a “free” certificate that is more than a few months old.
Better yet, use it immediately if you can. There’s no guarantee that the business (or perhaps the management) will still be there when you try to cash it in.
So, back to commuting. I mentioned last month that I prefer the Sylvania Silver Star Ultra headlight bulbs.
Pep Boys is now carrying a newer model from Sylvania (Silver Star zXe), touting HID-like qualities. The
going rate for the newest bulbs is $30 each (compared to $25 each). I would like to give you a report on
them, but they were out of stock on my application (H7). I find this information worth repeating because
any higher-performance bulb is not going to last as long as a stock bulb. Many of you have been on trips
with me where I had to hastily change out a headlight bulb (fortunately, it’s easy to do with small hands and
no tools on an 1800, assuming you carry a spare, which I do). And, once again, I burned out a bulb this
month. Is it worth it? To me, absolutely! Anything that will help me see farther, wider and with more
definition gives me that much more ability to dodge road hazards when riding in the dark (which is now
part of my daily routine), even if I DO have to replace them more often.
I’d like to share a simple process I’ve begun to use, which enabled me to spot the burned-out bulb while on
the road (they don’t always burn out when sitting in the garage, you know). When stopped behind a vehicle
at a signal, learn to look at the reflection of your headlights on the trunk or tailgate of the vehicle in front of
you. I don’t mean to look at the points of light projected from your headlight (that’s too hard to discern),
but with practice you should be able to see the reflection of your headlight and foglight lenses. When you
learn what a ‘normal’ setup looks like (all bulbs working), you’ll easily recognize when one side is burned
out, and you can change the bulb at the earliest opportunity. Note that this procedure works during the daytime; no need to wait for the sun to go down, only to notice that you have half the lighting available.
I share this information with you not to amplify any ambivalence in doing proper inspections, but to say that if it’s happened to me, it could happen to someone else. If
they can learn from my experiences, then they won’t have to repeat my mistakes. And
in the end, isn’t it all about being around to ride another day?

Another Month of Great Rides
Well the end of March ended up just like the beginning with nice weather and a good ride. We
ended up in San Pedro via the Ortega Highway and over the Vincent Thomas bridge, boy what a
view from the top of the that bridge. We had lunch at Nico's pizzeria and from the looks of the
food I think everyone enjoyed it. We then Road down two point Fermin Lighthouse just a few
miles away, although we didn't get to tour the inside of the Lighthouse because of the lack of volunteers, we did enjoy walking around the park. There are a few nice pictures of the lighthouse and
the flower gardens on our website if you haven’t already viewed them go check it out. It's surprising how close Catalina Island looks from the San Pedro Peninsula. I led the ride over there but was
going to be splitting off on the way home and wasn't able to lead on the way back. So Mick Herod
led the group on the way home with a nice little tour of the Palos Verdes Peninsula.
In April a few zebras made it up to Ventura for the CA-1S chapter rally, we had lots of fun and
the ride up and back went well even though my GPS wanted to take us way out of the way. We
had a similar situation at the CA-1A chapter Rally when Danny was leading his GPS wanted to
take us of course as well. The GPS and electronic devices are great but, I've come to learn you
can't always rely on them, I trust it but you should always verify the route. If you can before you
go on a trip get on the computer using Google Maps or Map Quest whichever you prefer and pre
ride the ride on the computer so you can get familiar with the area you're going to visit. The Lancaster chapter CA-1A had a good turnout for the rally, the homemade chili they serve up was
really good, but if I'm being honest it wasn't as good as mom used to make. And if you haven't
heard one of our chapter members was one of the lucky winners of the 50/25/25. They had Pam
Puterbaugh drawing tickets and she pick the winning ticket for Monica Clark. Go to our website
event photos page and look at the smile on Monica's face as she collected her $265 winnings!
Maybe she'll treat us to some ice cream ? May is going to be another busy month with several
chapter rally’s and regions in St George. Also Sunday May 5th we have several GW members
from back east going to be out this way and we'll be meeting up with them to have breakfast at the
lookout road house on the Ortega highway. And then if you would like you can ride with them out
to Julian and grab some pie. We will leave from # 4 at 8 am. I said last month looking ahead to
June we will be doing a overnight ride to Solvang,
We will be staying at Pea Soup Andersen's inn in Buellton. The cost is $119. Including tax. When
you call to make your reservations (800-732-7687) tell them you're with the group Chapter Z, on
June 8th. They will be holding a block of 10 rooms up until May 8th. If you're thinking about going go ahead and book your room so you can lock in the special group rate before May eighth.
The cancellation policy is just 24 hours’ notice.
If you have any further questions on this ride please call or email us.

“BE PREPARED”
For the record; yes, I was a Boy Scout and I’ve taken their motto to heart.
Being prepared is particularly important to us as riders/co-riders. What do I
mean by being prepared?
First, is your motorcycle prepared? Tires properly inflated and with sufficient
tread? Brakes in good working order? How ‘bout the lights? Brake lights?
Turn signals? All these are critical to the safe operation of the motorcycle.
Next, how about you? Are you well rested? Do you have the right frame of
mind or is something weighing on you? Are you taking any medications that
might make you drowsy? Haven’t been drinking, have you? Riding requires
your FULL attention so anything that diminishes your ability to pay attention
to the task limits your ability to safely operate your bike/trike.
Then there’s your emergency skills. When is the last time that you PRACTICED emergency maneuvers? You know, things like swerving to avoid an
obstacle in your path of travel. Emergency stopping, practiced that lately? In
about 13% of motorcycle crashes, the rider made NO attempt to avoid the
crash; no swerving, no braking, just rode right into the collision. Unfortunately, most riders NEVER practice emergency maneuvers.
Do you consciously practice your other riding skills? You know, things like
your scanning for hazards, looking through turns, covering your controls as
you approach congested areas, positioning yourself so you are as visible as
possible, etc. While all these things (and more) should be “second nature”
focusing on them while you’re riding reinforces the action.
Yep! The ol’ Boy Scout motto, “Be Prepared.” How prepared are you?

VACATION PLANNING
Back in the day when we went from elementary school through High School, vacation meant
something awesome to us. It was mostly having fun and time off from school, homework,
class projects, etc… Today, if you are still working, a lot of times it means “time to recharge
our batteries” just so we can go back to work and get worn down again. What a sad commentary. I believe it is time to have a new mindset about it ( presuming your mindset was similar
to mine ).
Planning is a HUGE key in deciding what you are going to do with your vacation time. Whatever your plans are, make sure you reserve some time to just relax. Whether it is a day at Disneyland or a day at the beach, schedule enough downtime to go along with your destinations so
you are not rushing around like a hurried driver going through a red light.
This brings me to my point. There is not enough vacation time during the year for most working people to do a lot of the things they would like to do. Not a solution, but a way of extending the time you go and enjoy things or places is to start planning full weekend getaways. I
hear way too often that vacations come and go to fast and it puts a negative connotation on going on vacation in the first place. I agree. So with that said, Linda and I are going to try to
start taking some mini vacations on weekends throughout the year. We will see how it goes.
This will give you many more opportunities to look forward to something all year long.
Many times there are Annual Chapter Events that you say are too far away. What about planning a whole weekend around it? Come and hang out with other GW family, and then combine that with a stay somewhere else for the weekend. You don’t have to do that every time
because it can get costly, but how about every now and then? Why not? Just go to our web
site and check out the remaining events for the year and pick a few of them to make a weekend
out of. Just a little planning and you can have several mini vacations all year long. Of course
it does not have to be tied in to a chapter event, just go away for the weekend every now and
then and see if you like it.
"We are Listening, What is your Solution"
Every Member Matters

Leading By Example
Recently, the District Directors received an email from further up the chain
of command that opened with the following quote from Colin Powell, "I
think whether you're having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to
always display a winning attitude." Whether you agree with Powell's
opinion or not, the learning moment came in the form of what followed in
several paragraphs outlining the areas that needed improvement and how the
District Directors were somehow responsible for reshaping the members'
perception of decisions made by home office. The contrast between what
was supposed to be a motivational statement and the negative message highlighted how ignorant some leaders are of how our actions are perceived. As much as we might wish it isn't
so, the people that we volunteer with are always watching us to see if our actions are consistent with our
words. So many times, leaders will open a conversation with an insincere platitude, only to undermine their
own credibility by
immediately following up with a contradictory statement as if to shout, "Do as
I say and not as I do!"
I am not condemning National for putting out a poor email. Truth be told, my written communication skills
are so inferior to my wife's, that she handles almost all of our email correspondence as well as publishes our
monthly newsletter. It is not that I am incapable of writing an upbeat, positive email; it is just that she is so
much better at it. In management terms, it is referred to as maximizing available resources and allowing
people to utilize their skills is not a new concept; successful companies and organizations have been doing
it forever. So how do glaring mistakes like this or the way National handled the mandatory Officer's Training program occur? Simply put, management skills are perishable skills and, if not exercised properly and
regularly, deteriorate with time. Another explanation might be that as volunteers, we are sometimes asked
to perform tasks that we are not experienced in or well suited for, but rather than disappoint the person asking, we agree to try and, sometimes end up with less than desirable results.
These problems exist at all levels of an organization, but the higher the office of the person, the more obvious and glaring the situation appears. When something like this happens at the chapter level, only the few
members directly involved in the dialog are aware of it. When it comes from the home office and is directed
to all of the District Directors, it is bound to be a lot more obvious. Interestingly, GWRRA has known for a
long time how difficult it can be to maintain these skills and has a solution: the Leadership Training Program (LTP) and, specifically, the Horizons Program. To support these initiatives, Region F will host a Horizons Program at their convention in Utah and California will be offering LTP classes at Visalia. We know
that a few days of leadership training is not going to make MBA's of our officers and members. Conversely,
I have never met a more qualified and dedicated group of volunteers willing to so freely give of their time
and their talents. We are all volunteers and we are all human. We are going to make mistakes and, occasionally, we are going to fall short of our goals. Perhaps what Colin Powell meant by a winning attitude
was not that we will win every battle, but rather that we will never give up the fight to improve ourselves
and our condition. Pam and I look forward to seeing all of you in St. George in May over Memorial Day
weekend.
Until next month, ride well and ride often.
