RIDER EDUCATION
BY Tom Denny, Rider Educator
On October 22, Ann and I were off to Boise, Id for the
Region Workshop. We thought of taking our bikes but
glad we didn‘t. It was a nice trip there but the wind and
the rains showed up on Saturday. It stayed that way
through Sunday.
To start off the workshop, Mike Hudnell introduced
your new Region staff. They will start their reign on January 1st. It sounds like he has put together a great team.
Region ―I‖ will be redesigning their newsletter on or
about January 5th, 2011. Look for it.
Then we had to listen to Mike Briggs, boy can he talk.
Two hours and 45 minutes worth. Mike found the candy
dish and it had ―DOTS‖ candy in it. Then there was no
stopping him. He was quite interesting. He brought us up
to date on ―FORMS, FORMS and more FORMS. The
990N form, IRS. The 8822 change of address form. The
―Equipment‖ list form. The ―Financial Report‖ form. This
may sound like a lot of work for the officers of a chapter
at the end of the year, but it is not. They are quite simple
if you stay up to date during the year. Everything has its
place.
We‘re not finished yet. There is the ―Rider Education
Forms‖ Their called ―Rider Education Program Levels
Data Update Forms‖. They are the N.6 and N.10 forms.
These forms, as you might have guessed, are for the Rider
Education portion of GWRRA. These forms are in the
hands of Tom Denny, you‘re Rider Educator.
As you know, each chapter has three (3) Officers. The
Chapter Director, Assistant Chapter Director and Rider
Educator. Sometime next year, there will be two (2) more
officers. GWRRA will be recognizing the Treasure and
the Membership Enhancement Coordinator as ―Officers‖.
Congratulations. The Officer Certification Program
(OCP) is recommended but not required.
This year the District Workshop will be divided up into
two parts. Both parts are the same. Westside of the mounhttp://www.gwrra-wa-l.org/

U-Turns the Quick and Easy
Way
By Jason Black (From the June, 2010 issue of Sport Rider)
Simple as they may seem, U-turns can pose a significant problem to riders of varying levels of experience. In fact, talk to any beginning rider and one of
their biggest fears is typically tight turns. At one
point or another most riders have dropped a bike
while attempting to turn around. Steering lock, rider
height, bike size and a number of other factors come
into play when negotiating a U-turn, so here are a
few tips to help those struggling every time they find
themselves wanting to go in the opposite direction.
The rider shown in the first photo has pulled all the
way to the edge of the road in order to give himself
as much room as possible for the U-turn. Notice the
over-the-shoulder head-check to assure that there is
no traffic coming. This is important for obvious reasons.
The important thing to remember is that to execute a
tight U-turn the bike must lean toward the inside of
the turn. The more you lean the tighter the arc of the
turn. Many riders, especially beginners, want to feel
the security of having both feet on the ground and
dog-paddle their way around but doing so increases

tains will be in Buckley, WA. on Nov. 13th. Where as the
Eastside will be in Ellensburg on Nov. 14th. I guess our
Eastside voices were heard about the traveling over the
mountains in the winter. As I write this, I hear that White
Pass has 3 feet of snow on it already where Snoqualmie
has 2 feet already. Thank You, Bob Spencer.
trated on the outside peg. At this point the rear brake
can be used to tighten the arc of the corner. Stay off
the front brake as the accompanying weight transfer
upsets the chassis more and affects steering to a
greater degree. The rider in the inset photo can be
seen modulating the rear brake.

the radius of the corner since the bike remains nearly
straight up-and-down.
This rider is using a respectable amount of lean angle
and has turned the bars to full lock. In order to ensure that the bike does not stall it's helpful to modulate the clutch in the friction zone (i.e., slipping the
clutch to a small degree). Turn the bike quickly, getting the majority of your weight on the outside foot
peg; if the bike starts to fall in too quickly the lean
angle can be arrested with throttle application. Make
sure and look through the turn; this rider is not even
looking at the front of the motorcycle, instead he is
fixing his eyes on where he wants to be next.
Notice that the bars are still at full lock to complete
the turn. At this point, the rear brake should be released so the bike can smoothly exit the turn. The
inset photo demonstrates the proper body positioning
during a tight U-turn. The bars are turned to full
lock, the rider is leaning toward the outside of the
turn, the rear brake is being used and the rider is
looking through the corner. With the proper technique, extremely tight circles can be made at very
low speeds. Practice going in circles in both directions using these techniques and the next time you
find yourself in a tight spot there'll be no problem
getting out of it smoothly.
Don't Forget!
The Fall Back date is November 7, which means it's
time to:
In the middle of the turn
your head should be pointed
down the road in the direction you want to go with
your weight still concen-

It’s all about me!
how to obtain and endorsement, please go to www.dol.wa.gov
or e-mail [email protected]
When taking my first rider training course I was amazed how
much I didn‘t know. Even after riding for years, it quickly
became apparent I had poor skills, inadequate techniques and
an undeveloped awareness of rider risk. My instructor, Bruce
Thomas, was very patient and understanding as he enabled me
to develop. More significantly, he helped me realize that, ―It‘s
all about me!‖
Maintain Yourself and your Bike.
When prompted to take a motorcycle maintenance course, I
laughed! I didn‘t even know there was such a course. I surely
had no clue how much I would learn about subjects I should
have already known. It was an eye-opening experience. The
course introduced concepts, and risks, that I had never
considered. Such as:
Oil: Type, quality, viscosity, energy conserving, ratings, and
―What should/shouldn‘t I use?‖
Tires: Type, quality, size, load range, manufactured date, and
―How do tires affect my risk?‖
Prep: Pre-ride inspection, long-term storage/winterization,
controls and fluids, etc.
Suspension: Preload, rebound, compression, and ―How can/
should I adjust for my next ride?‖
Bruce helped me realize that I, alone, was responsible for my
rider risk. I was accountable to develop my rider motor-skills
and riding techniques. I needed to know my limits and ride
within them. It‘s my choices, and mine alone, that allow me to
be safe(r). Simply put, no one cares more about ‗me‘ than me!
As a rider, each of us decides when, and if, we are going to
brave crazy weather conditions, road conditions, motorcycle
issues, as well as rider attitude/impairment. Then, on top of
everything else, we have to be concerned with other drivers!
In safety courses, we often hear how it was the ―other guy‘s‖ at
fault. However, statistics continually show that most fatalities
were caused by rider choice/skill. In Washington, it typically is
the rider‘s fault through speed, lane-error, and/or impairment:
drugs, alcohol, hypothermia, and/or emotional distress.
Yes, it is up to each of us to own the responsibility for (rider)
risk awareness, acceptance, and management. How can you
help yourself? There are some aspects of riding that can offer
reduced risk and more enjoyable rides:
1) Get endorsed
2) Maintain (your bike and yourself) (Mechanical issues, use of
alcohol or drugs))
3) Training (Lifelong learning: The more you know - the better
it gets.)
4) Motor-skill Development (Know your limits and ride within
them.)
Get Endorsed!
Statistics show that unendorsed riders significantly increased
odds that they will be involved in a serious-injury or fatality
crash. Why? Through endorsement testing, riders demonstrate
basic motorcycle control skills and it appears that these basic on
-street skills are useful to avoid/minimize risk.
There are two ways to obtain an endorsement:
1. Take an approved license waiver rider training course. (1,
2, and 3-day courses are available)
2. Take the knowledge test and riding skills test at your local
DOL office using your own bike.
The Washington fine is $124 for being caught riding a
motorcycle without an endorsement. (Oregon is
$720.) However, law enforcement in Washington can opt to
impound your motorcycle. Yes, the financial risk is high. Yet,
the rider‘s risk appears to be much higher. For information on
http://www.gwrra-wa-l.org/
http://www.gwrra-wa-l.org/
The lessons taught within this course can have a direct impact
(no pun intended) upon your ride and your risk. It may help to
really get to know your bike. It could be the best relationship
you‘ll ever have!
(On-going) Training.
A lot of safety course instructors try to participate in on-going
training. Taking a course (or more per year) only helps refine
skills/techniques. As explained to me once, ―the more training
you take: the more you will realize your limits: the more you
know your abilities/limits: the safer your ride will be!
Most riders aren‘t aware that there is such a wide variety of
courses offered in Washington. Each course has unique skills/
techniques and strategies that can offer a safe(r) ride.
Some of the courses offered include:
Novice Rider Training
Intermediate Rider Training
Experienced Rider Training
Advanced Rider Training
Dirt Bike Schools
Sidecar / Trike Education
Suspension Tuning
Total Control - Cornering Clinic
Motorcycle Injury & Aid
Advanced Street Skills
Ride-Like-A-Cop
Motorcycle Care & Maintenance
On-Street Skills
Adventure (off-road) Camps
Track Schools
It is extremely difficult to ride and self-evaluate riding skills/
techniques. It is much more effective to have a coach/instructor
to evaluate and coach. As a rider and as an instructor, I
suggest, if you haven‘t taken a course lately - do so!

To quote a friend, ―You don‘t know what you don‘t know until
you find out what you really didn‘t know!‖
Motor-skill Development.
Riding skills, sadly, are perishable. If you don‘t use them - you
(typically) lose them! Becoming a lifelong learner is an
effective way to ensure that your mental and physical skills are
there when needed. Personally, I like to have my skills/
techniques pushed (safely) to new limits. A recent advanced
class really pushed my understanding and awareness of my
skills/techniques. The best part of the lesson was the
application of safe(r) street skills.
The courses I have taken have helped me own three factors that
I can always control:
Choice of speed
Choice of lane position
Choice of riding impaired (emotionally or alcohol/drug
induced)
Christmas is just around the corner and its time to start thinking
about what to give those Gold Wing riders on your Christmas
list.
Purchase official GWRRA products online at www.gwrra.org,
and click on ―Official Products‖. You can buy GWRRA
apparel, patches, and pins, along with a wide variety of
motorcycle related products often seen advertised in Wing
World.
Pick from shirts, jackets, belt buckles, the ―Battery Bug‖,
license plate frames, and more.
My goal is to never put myself into a position or situation that I
cannot control - within my limits.
As a fellow Washington motorcyclist, I try and model safe(r)
behavior to our riding community and our driving public. In a
way, it is all about me! It‘s also all about YOU! If you see me
riding please wave ―hi!‖ Oh, and then make sure to let me
know if I‘m modeling safe(r) street strategies!
Ride SAFE!
