STATE COORDINATOR’S REPORT - JIGGS CRESSY
No report available at time of publication
ABATE CHAPLAIN’S CORNER - AUGGIE & SUNSHINE MINZLAFF
Psalm 23 talks about "The Lord is my
shepherd." If you know anything
about sheep they need a shepherd or
leader or they go astray. I recently
read a story about a sheep in
Istanbul, Turkey, in 2005 got
confused & jumped off a cliff. Before
it was all over nearly 1500 sheep
followed that one lost sheep & also
jumped off that cliff & died. When
sheep don't have leadership & don't
know which way to go they become
confused & just follow the other
members of the flock.
Ever been on a run & maybe you
arrived a little late & didn't hear all
the instructions like where the group
was going & all of a sudden people
were pulling out so you started your
bike & fell into the group. You took off
fat, dumb & happy & it never dawned
on you that you didn't have a clue
where you were going. How hard
could it be just follow the bike in front
of you. Right? How hard could that
be? Then, you looked up & the traffic
signal up ahead was about to turn red
& the pack all made it thru except for
you & the people behind you. Before
the light turned green it finally
dawned on you that you had no idea
where the group was going or how to
get there & now because you were up
front you were the "LEADER". How
scary is that. Now you know how the
sheep feels. As the light changes to
green, you look up ahead & notice
that one of the riders noticed what
happened & he pulled off and waited
for you to catch up. Just as you
approached where he was waiting he
pulled out & took over as your leader
as you give take a big breath & feel
relieved. Back on track & following
someone that new where he was
MRF REPORT - JOHN STEELE
leading the group. What a relief.
The same is with Christ if we ask him
to forgive us & lead us in all that we
do we will never have to worry about
where we are going. He assures us of
that. As we read the last line of the
23 Psalm the psalmist writes, Surely
goodness & mercy shall follow me all
the days of my life; & I will dwell in
the house of the Lord forever.
Like the sheep & the biker in this
story do you want to not know where
you are going or do you want Jesus to
lead you & end up in the House of the
Lord forever like the psalmist says?
God bless you all & have a safe, fun
summer.
Ride safe and ride often.
In His service,
Auggie and Sunshine

AROUND THE STATE WITH PHIL
It is the beginning of March as I am starting my April
column. The weather was kind of nasty today with a little
snow and lot of wind. Yesterday, Norma and I took my
brother, Chuck, to the airport in Sioux Falls so that he
could go back to his home in San Diego. I asked Chuck
where he wanted to go to do lunch and he said Hu-Hots.
As usual, the food and service were great! Since we had
a little time, we drove through downtown Sioux Falls and
I thought we might check out the falls. But, alas, it was
not much to see as it was all frozen over. I guess I don’t
know what I expected to see.
Once again South Dakota ABATE members have prevailed
in helping to change a bad law and making it a better
one. Senate Bill 85 which was a bill to repeal the high
handlebar law was recently signed by Governor Dennis
Daugaard. There was not one single opponent that
testified against the bill. The previous high handlebar law
stated that your handlebars on a motorcycle couldn’t be
higher than your shoulders. That was a problem for
motorcyclists from other states which don’t have any
restrictions on handlebar height when they were traveling
through South Dakota especially during the Sturgis Rally
in August. Now, everyone should be on the same page
and it should make it a lot easier for law enforcement in
that they have one less thing to worry about during the
Sturgis Rally. We want to give a big thank you to the
ABATE members that contacted their legislators and also
testified for SB 85 before the various committees. Our
lobbyist, Dianna Miller, really got us all fired up at
Legislative Days last January to get the old law repealed.
The act of repealing any law is usually a very difficult
task. But, this shows that with the determination of a lot
of people good things can be done. The new South
Dakota joke is that the handlebars on your motorcycles
can be of any height as long as you can get your bike
underneath the overpasses on the interstate highways.
On my Facebook page, most of the comments about the
repealing of the handlebar height law were positive ones.
But, there were some uniformed people that said if high
handlebars looked unsafe they surely were. But, there
are no statistics to prove that having high handlebars
makes your motorcycle more prone to accidents.
For me, it is sometimes fun to think about things that
happened years ago. I would guess that the older you
get the more things you may have to remember which I
guess just makes common sense. The other day I was
thinking about some adventures I had with my daughter,
Amy, when she was first growing up. When she was only
two years old, I already had her riding with me on my
motorcycle. She would sit in front of me partly on the
gas tank with her little hands grabbing unto my arms. I
had a little helmet for her and often times she would fall
asleep and her helmet would hit the gas tank which
would wake her up. Then, she would turn her head
around and give me that look in asking me what just
happened. When Amy was four years old, she did a lot of
traveling with me in my semi as I was trucking over the
road at that time. We traveled to California, Texas, and
throughout the Midwest. We would sometimes be gone
for over ten days and I am still surprised that her
mother let me take her for that length of time. Amy had
some nursery rhyme cassettes tapes that she would play
over and over again. After a while, it would start driving
me nuts and I would hide them in different parts of the
cab. But, Amy always would find them and continue to
play them to her hearts content. When Amy was in high
school, she played one of those tapes in my pickup and I
couldn’t believe that she still had them. She had a good
laugh at how I reacted to hearing that tape again. At
one time when Amy was with me in the truck, we had
some time so we went to a movie at a large mall in
Iowa. We went to see the first Muppet movie and when
it was over we were walking around the mall and all of
sudden Amy was gone and out of my sight. I had about
the scariest feeling I have ever had and it seemed that
my heart went into my stomach. All of a sudden, I saw
her standing in line by the movie theater. I asked her
what was going on and she said that she just wanted to
see the movie again! When Amy was in grade school,
she learned how to ride an ATV and dirt bike. When
Amy was learning to drive all I had were vehicles with
manual transmissions. She did a lot of driving on my
old 73 Chevy pickup which had a three on a tree. I
taught her how to do some drifting in a snow packed
field and also how to drive in and out of a ditch without
having a panic attack. Some years later Amy was
driving her pickup with a bumper horse trailer and hit
some ice and went into the ditch. But with her driving
skills she was able to keep everything in an upright
position. Now her daughter, Ellie, is five years old and it
is like having Amy growing up all over again. Ellie and I
do some serious coloring and working with stickers. Ellie
really enjoys the puzzles in her magazine and she often
gets the answer before I do.
Today it is 56 degrees out and I would guess a lot of
bikers are on the roads for the first time this year.
There is some snow, ice, and mushy gravel still in front
of my garage. If I could get my trike out, I really don’t
know where I would go. In fact, just a few minutes ago
I started the trike up and she took off the first second I
hit the starter. What an amazing sound she made! Just
like music to my ears. Soon spring will be here and we
all will be doing what some of us enjoy most.
Until next Month

March 2nd meeting were as follows:
Joey Harms, Phil & Norma Hohm,

Both Phil and Norma will be taking in

Todd and Dawn Meyers will be in
charge of the 50/50 drawing. With

away a lot of door prizes. Schaun will

TREASURER’S REPORT: Phil handed
out his written report. Norma made a
motion that we accept Phil’s report
and Stacey seconded the motion.
STATE REP REPORT: Phil told us
that SB 85 was signed into law by our
governor and went through both
houses with all yes votes. We want to
thank our legislatures from District 22
who helped us in repealing this law.
They include Peggy Gibson, Dick
Werner and Jim White.
The law
repealed the high handlebar law
which stated that your handlebars
couldn’t be higher than your
shoulders. With SB 85 there is now no
limit on the height of handlebars on a
motorcycle. This makes it a lot easier
for out of state bikers that visit our
state during the Sturgis Rally. They
then are not breaking our laws by
having handlebars that are too high.
Gary made a motion that we accept
Phil’s report and Joey seconded the
motion.

be getting everything ready for our

ZZEN CHAPTER NEWS
April, I saw you. Yeah, you found that
break in the weather. The sun was
shining on you and as you blasted off
with that ear to ear grin that wasn`t
coming off, you remembered what
you had been missing since the snow
was biting you in the ass.
What a day. Thoughts of suggesting
to your boss something anatomically
improbable, just keep on riding, all of
those things that you couldn`t do
because it was too f ing cold, just
keep on riding, the business, the ol`
lady, the bills, the appointments, the
cops, oh shit, better slow down a little
bit, just keep on riding.
Hey, no
bugs. Reminds me of when last I had
to park it except it`s warmer, just
keep riding. Just me, the machine
and the open road. Getting thirsty
and so is the bike. The sun hasn`t
been peeking out of those clouds
lately and that cross wind is startin`
to be a bitch. That`s alright. I`ve got
my gauntlets in the bag, right?
They`re in there with my clears,
right? Along with the spare plugs and
all those things I carry when on the
road? Did I leave them on the bench?
I was only going for a putt!
So let`s talk about preparation. No,
I`m not talking about basic gear that
you regret that you didn`t have as
you were freezing your ass off on the
return trip. I`m talking about at the
driveway. Hit those brakes hard
before you get to the end of the
block. Before you have to stop. Is the
throttle sticking? Is the mirror where
it`s supposed to be? Clutch working
right? Excessive chain noise, primary
included? Those with belts check the
tracking and play. Those under
warranty look at all these things, too.
Especially if you are a new rider. It is
your responsibility to learn all of the
idiosyncrasies of your particular
model. They are all different.
Also remember that the general
public is blind to you. They will look
through you so don`t even think that
just because there was eye contact
that you even registered. Ride like
you are invisible And they are trying
to kill you! Give yourself an out.
Always have an alternate route in
case of a bad scenario. Never get
trapped behind a cage at a light. Stay
far enough behind and off to the side
so you have an escape. Watch your
mirror at the light so if someone
doesn`t stop, you can get out of the
way. This is one of the few times that
you can actually see out of it anyway.
Enough safety tips. Those of us,
seasoned, won`t need them and
those that need them probably won`t
listen. Remember me saying, check
those brakes? Well, before you grab a
handful of that, make sure that
you`re not surfing on all the sand
that has accumulated over the winter.
These tend to pile up at intersections
and at the bottom of the hill. Cleaning
the streets is not a large priority for
the gov entities. Besides, it takes
money from their budget to properly
maintain the streets.
March meeting was held at
Battlecreek. John Harris has resigned
as Treasurer and Leanne has been
appointed to fill his term. The first
vote was taken on a proposed by law
change. The second will be May 2 at
Hillbilly`s in Alcester. I urge all who
can to attend. There is no April
meeting.
Ride safe.
