From our CD, Lyle
February came in with real
nice weather, then it got ugly, then it
got nice, and finished ugly as far as
weather was concerned. The
weekly dinner rides suffered due to the weather. We
even ended up cancelling the one during the big storm.
Attendance was as follows: February 2nd DiBella’s in
Henrietta Mr. and Mrs. Motley, Mr. and Mrs. Thayer,
Linda Waterman, Dewey and Lyle. February 6th
Breakfast at the Panorama Mr. and Mrs. Schelkun, Mr.
and Mrs. Thayer, Lynn Wood, Larry Helber, Sue Angell,
and Lyle. February 9th Dragon House in Penfield, NY
was attended by Dewey and Lyle. February 16th was
cancelled due to weather. February 18th saw 15 at the
gathering. February 20th lunch at D&R Depot had Mike
and Ginny Schelkun, Mike and Cindy Lewis, Larry Helber
and Sue Angell, Lynn Wood and Lyle Nudd. February
23rd The Distillery in Greece Duane and Nancy Motley,
Dewey and Lyle. February 28th Ride Planning Meeting
and Rider Ed Seminar had Mike and Ginny Schelkun,
Mike and Cindy Lewis, Joe and Kathy Costa,

Lynn Wood, Dave Hockenberry, and Lyle Nudd. I kind of
had to be there.
February Birthdays
Joanne Johnston

Gerald Thurley

Kevin Russell

Gerald Gardner
03/28
That takes care of the old business and on to the new.
This month we have the ride to Cartwright’s Maple Tree
Inn on March 12th. That is a Saturday so most of us
probably don’t have to work. We are trying it earlier in
the season this year so hopefully the line will not be as
long. The plan is to meet there at 9:30am. It is always a
good meal and a good time. Hope to see you there.
We still have openings or can make openings for
weekend day trips in the ride schedule. If you have a
ride that you really want to do; or better yet really want to
lead, please contact Cindy Lewis or Lyle Nudd and we
will try to get it scheduled.
February Anniversaries
Joanne and John Strong
Patti and Lynn Wood
03/20
03/21
If you see Mike Schelkun and it looks like he has less
hair or it is grayer that is probably my fault. I keep
sending him these articles late. So I want to apologize to
Mike in this forum. I would like to promise that I won’t be
late in the future, but that probably would just lead to
another apology. I will however try to do better Mike, and
I am sorry for inconveniencing you.
Rider Ed From Lyle
The Weather had been good, then bad, and hopefully soon good to stay. When the first warm
days arrive and you decide to take your toy out to play please spend a few minutes giving it a TCLOCKS. If I have done my job you should all know what that means. If not you can obtain a copy
of the form on the GWRRA web page. It is located in the REP Officer Section under the Rider Ed
tab under the Programs tab. I’m lost and I’m trying to give you directions. It is called an inspection
form. There are forms there for motorcycles, trikes, trailers, and sidecar rigs. The forms all have
N#s associated with them. The one for motorcycles is N17.
I guess I took the long way around, but am just trying to get you to check your bike out before you
take it out for the first trip of the year. Things can change while they sit over the winter.
Now that the dirty work is done, fire it up and try to run the wheels off of it. Just remember to take
it easy until the roads are clean and your skills have picked up to the level they were when you
parked the toy last fall.
Editor’s Note - The Ride Safety Coordinator position is still open. It would be great for someone to
step forward and take this load off Lyle. It should help him get newsletter articles on time.

Ramblings From Your Editor
For those who missed the trip and great chow at the D & R Depot in LeRoy here
are some pictures of the crew having fun. We would love to see more of you at
these events. If you have ideas on thing you would like to do make sure you let
us know so we can get them scheduled.
Here is the crew from W getting
ready to enjoy some great chow.
Above the table there is a train on
a circular track. Check out the
support.
Mike looks rather pensive in this
picture. The real thing to check is
the snow man in the background.
Remember our moto, “Fun, Safety, Knowledge”.
Here is a bit of knowledge. For safe and fun rides
wear All The Gear All The Time.
