Fuel for Thought

publisher’s opinion
The other day I was out shopping and
parking lot when I noticed that we
running errands that I had put off for
weren’t the only people who had heard
awhile. As I crossed the parking lot
the bike and were doing what I call “the
heading for my car, I heard the loud
rider’s stare.” There was at least seven
rumble of a motorcycle approaching
other people spread out across the lot
on the nearby highway. Of course,
who were frozen in that moment while
I looked up and waited to see what
envying the rider as he soared down
make and model of bike was going
the highway. Everyone else in the lot
by. I happen to notice that a man and
seemed oblivious. They didn’t even
woman loading packages in their car
take notice. And I doubt very much if
had stopped what they were doing to
the rumble of the bike’s motor even
look at the bike, too. The man and I
registered in their brains. I guess this
made eye contact. He smiled and
incident is just another example of
waved to me. I know that they were
how the thought of riding a bike on the
feeling the same emotions that I was
open road is a siren call that is hard for
feeling at that moment. That made me
true riders to ignore and one that they
take a quick look around the crowded
never lose.

Steel Horse Sisterhood
KICKS BUTT
by Kris “Tigerlady” Slawinski
ack in April a friend e-mailed
me the announcement about
the Steel Horse Sisterhood
(SHS) Summit, to be held May 24, 2014 in Denver, Colorado. “This
might be cheesy,” she said, “but it
just could replace the AMA’s Women
& Motorcycling conferences.” Really?
“Yeah, all the women there except
admin support staff are gone.” In other
words, there was nobody left to push
for the event.
I’ve been to all the AMA conferences
except the last one held in Nevada,
three years ago. So, curious about the
SHS Summit, I flew to Denver for the
weekend.
In the words of founder Joan “Lady
Road Dog” Krenning, the Steel Horse
Sisterhood is a 501c3 organiza-
B
Long Riders Magazine August 2014
tion intended “to provide a spiritual
connection for a movement of women
modeling love to each other as we reach
out to raise money for charity.” Before
you start rolling your eyes, know this:
Krenning rode 36,000 miles in nine
months last year to promote Americanmade products by riding her Softail
Custom to every H-D dealership in the
country. So her moniker of “Lady Road
Dog” is deserved, even if unrelated to
Wild Bill Goelbke’s “Roadog.”
The idea of the SHS Summit took
shape when Krenning stayed with
Kyle Doying and his girlfriend Theresa,
volunteers supporting her tour, in
Denver last year. As Krenning was
sharing her still-unformed thoughts
on an event involving women riders
gathering from all over the country to
support each other, Doying said, “Why
don’t we bring a thousand women to
Denver?” And thus the Sisterhood was
born.
Krenning’s team of 12 steady and
Long Riders Magazine August 2014
20 peripheral volunteers, women and
men, they managed to bring together
just over 300 registered women (and
three men) for the Summit, and another
100 for the Sunday poker run.
Everybody seemed to be having
fun. There was shopping at the vendor
booths, many occupied by womenowned businesses if not by genderspecific
products.
Presentations
focused on safe, healthy riding, with
topics such as good nutrition while on
the road; what dehydration means, and
how to stay hydrated; how to ride safely
with semi trucks on the road; how and
why helmets are the best protective
gear you can buy; self defense; riding
skills improvement; accident scene
management; succeeding in Iron Butt
runs; and many more. Regarding the
choice of presenters, Krenning said her
message was to underscore balance
of the spiritual, mental and physical
10
Long Riders Magazine August 2014
aspects for the woman rider.
Key
speaker
motojournalist Genevieve Schmitt, of www.
WomenRidersNow.com, talked about
God—and menopause, God help
us!--but why not, when the room was
packed with women? Her message
was to listen to your body and take
care of yourself, which fit nicely with
the theme of the event. Jessi Combs,
metal fabricator and host of The Girls
Garage, went in the opposite direction,
advising us to “Be as dangerous as
you are beautiful!”
A symposium brought us the
opinions of women in media,
motorcycle racing, bike building,
rider training, motorcycle industry
marketing, including Eldonna Lewis
Fernandez, of www.pinkbikerchic.com;
land speed record holder Laura Klock;
“Biker Executive” Lisa Brouwer; and
Sarah Schilke of Schuberth Helmets,
the first woman to sit on the board of

helmets at an event like this? “Women
are so hungry for information and
communication,” Krenning explained,
after giving a personal testimony about
the advantages of helmet use. “We are
very diverse: this is a very inclusive
crowd.”
While most attendees were from
Colorado, many rode long distances
to attend. Kathleen Hanrathy, 60,
rode from Palos Hills, Illinois, with two
friends. One gal I met rode 14 hours
straight from St. Paul, Minnesota.
Sheri Pyle, 63, of Tennessee, said she
loved the hydration presentation. “The
speakers here are really truly geared
towards our health, well being, and
safety on the road. Also this is a real
community of women. Here everybody
is talking to each other.” She mentioned
the website postings about challenges
attendees experienced getting here due
to rain and even snow, and encouraging responses offered by others. “That
communication empowered those
women to continue their journey here.”
When asked if she’d be back next
year, Sheri replied, “Absolutely!” Deb
Davis, 58, of Centennial, Colorado,
said her take away “was actually huge.
I didn’t realize how much sodium your
body loses. I will be getting a camel
back pack and using a rehydration
product.”
Identical twins Alicia Hough, on
a 2012 Switchback HD, and Lonnie
Mercer, on a 2011 H Superlow Sportster,
were impressed that “every presenter
we’ve listened to has increased our
knowledge and awareness of how to
ride, protect ourselves, and be a better
rider.” “I was empowered by listening
to the woman who said the ink was
barely dry on her MSF certificate and
she rented a bike and did 250 miles
in the mountains!” said Alicia. “I liked
the camaraderie between everyone.
Certainly the term ‘sisterhood’ is
appropriate for this event!” Lonnie
added.
Indoor vendors offered everything
12

from helmets to nutrition bars to jewelry
and skin products, where I overheard
two women talking about the difficulties of adjusting as empty nesters. If
things were too “girly” for you inside,
the parking lot offered a different
perspective, with a variety of bikes
and the Rockies visible in the distance.
While the crowd was mostly of the
“big twin” persuasion, Lauriann of Del
Norte, Colorado, on a Honda NC700,
was comparing bikes and kicking tires
with Martina, on an ST1100. Martina,
originally from Munich, informed
us that, “The Alps and Rockies are
geologically like two peas in a pod.”
A couple bikes with apehanger
handlebars were parked nearby,
possibly belonging to two of the six
subjects of the short film “Driven to
Ride,” by Michelle Carpenter, which
screened Saturday afternoon to hoots
and great applause. “I am all about
trying to make intelligent programming
about women, to break down
stereotypes and celebrate the strength
and courage that we have,” Carpenter
told me.
There definitely was a lot of strength
and courage present, both in the
SHS leadership, the presenters and
vendors, and attendees. Though far
short of a thousand, it was an amazing
job for a first time effort organized
completely by unpaid volunteers.
Krenning confirmed there is definitely
a “next year” in the planning, themed
“Healthy Living—Healthy Riding,” to
be held in Loveland, Colorado June
11-14th, 2015. For more information
please visit www.steelhorsesisterhood.

Hi! My name is Peter Strom, I am 49
years old and I live in Södertälje a
suburb of Stockholm, Sweden with my
wife Febe and her daughter Janine
Nukula. All my life I’ve always changed
and rebuilt vehicles I’ve owned
including bicycles, mopeds, boats,
Long Riders Magazine August 2014
cars and motorcycles. It’s always been
difficult for me to be satisfied having
a vehicle that looks the same as the
vehicles everyone else have. Call it a
character flaw or a need to be different
from everyone else; I just need to put
my own style on them.
We have three Harley Davidson
motorcycles in the family right now that
I have built. The first one I built is the
FXR Trike my wife owns. Febe has a
muscle disease, so she is unable to ride
a standard two-wheeled motorcycle.
So a trike was really our only option
17
for keeping Febe on the road. We both
wanted to build a Trike that would be
more like a Chopper than a Trike. Most
of the Trikes you see on the road are
big and bulky and don’t handle very
well. The design idea for the Trike is
all mine with some input from Febe.
After all she is the one riding it. Calles
Chopperdelar of Sweden built the
frame to our specifications. I wanted
to show people that we could build a
good-looking Trike that looks like a
chopper. We wanted it to be long and
18
low with clean lines and great styling.
Febe is quite happy with the 3-Wheel
Bastard because it handles easy like a
go-cart and has a really smooth ride.
It also is quite fast and has proven to
be very reliable. Next up was my own
Sportster/chopper. This is my pride and
joy and it has been featured in many
bike magazines in the United States,
England, Germany, Spain, France,
Austria and Sweden. The design for
this bike is also all mine. And I’m proud
to say that Calles Chopperdelar also
fabricated the frame for this bike too
using my specs. And my friend Kenta
who owns Ace Performance helped
me with the fabrication and construction of the bike at his shop where we
built it together. I love this bike and
after riding 40000km the only problem
I have with it is some misfiring in very
heavy rainstorms. Both Febe and I
love going on short rides on weekends
with friends around Stockholm and
riding the bikes during vacation all
over Sweden. Last year Janine told
Febe and I that she wanted to ride
with us. Janine is 22 years old. She
is studying music, singing, drama and
dance. She started to ride a bike late
last summer and she got her driving
license the summer of 2012. So I got
busy and built her a Sportster so she
could join us on the road this season.
The only two things that she said she
wanted were that the bike had to be
purple and that there would be a crown
prominently displayed somewhere
on it. So that’s how the name “Purple
Queen” came about.
My ideas started when I saw Moon’s
Sportster and thought the style was
awesome, I had met Andrea Gallinaro
an engraver from Italy on the Internet
and got him to do the engraving. I like
the 70s style of engraving with flake
paint and gold. So I built a bike that’s
a mix of a Sportster bobber and a 70s
chopper. What and who has inspired
me and influenced my work the most
has been bike builders Tom Foster and
Jesse James and the hot rod culture. I
do have thousands of ideas for a new
bike but building it will have to wait until
our finances are up to the task.

Nukula. My favorite part of this bike has to be the engraving on the engine and forks by Andrea

to show that I could build a good looking Bobber from a stock Sportster. We’ve entered the Purple

Remembering a Brother
By Doug Ryan
When you lose someone who you
love and respect, it does not matter
whether they were friend or family. The
hurt and sense of loss isn’t any less
or any easier to live with. There’s this
empty space in your heart and life that
just can’t be filled.
In June, we attended the first of
two memorial rides held for Carlos
“Wild Pony” Drayden, a member of
the Buffalo Soldiers Cavalry Scouts
Motorcycle Club of York, Pennsylvania
who passed away unexpectedly last
year.
Bill “Dozer” Payton, ride organizer,
told me he just had to come up with
some way of honoring his relative and,
most of all, friend.
Wild Pony was one of those rare

people who refused to let anyone
around him stay in a bad mood. He
made all of us realize how lucky we
are to be alive. The man always had a
positive outlook on life and made friends
everywhere he went. A testimony to
just how popular and loved Carlos
is was the huge turnout by his fellow
bikers at his funeral and again for this
memorial ride. Dozer said it best when
he told me that, “losing Wild Pony still
doesn’t seem real but the pain is finally
slowly diminishing.”

STOP
MOTORCYCLE-ONLY
CHECKPOINTS

Visit this site to read and sign the AMA petition:
SIGN THE PETITION NOW!
DON’T WAIT!
OUR RIGHTS ARE ON THE LINE!
Fifty-five
U.S. lawmakers
sign on to end
motorcycle-only
checkpoints
Fifty congressmen and five senators
have signed on to sponsor or cosponsor
bills that would end federal funding
for motorcycle-only checkpoints, the
American Motorcyclist Association
reports.
During the past two years, federal,
state and local governments spent
28
more than a half million dollars on
motorcycle-only checkpoints.
The AMA believes that money could
have been better spent on programs to
curb distracted driving or expand rider
education programs.
“The AMA is grateful for these
legislators, who understand that the
rights of motorcyclists are the same as
the rights of every other U.S. citizen,”
said Wayne Allard, AMA vice president
of government relations. “We hope to
see laws enacted to end the discriminatory and harmful law enforcement
practice of targeting motorcyclists for
stops that do nothing to improve the
safety of our roads.”
U.S. Rep. Gary Peters (D-Mich.)
became the 50th cosponsor of H.R.
1861, the Stop Motorcycle Checkpoint
Funding Act, which was introduced by
Rep. Jim Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.) on
May 7, 2013.
The Senate bill is S. 2078, introduced
by U.S. Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-N.H.)
on March 5. The original cosponsors
are Sens. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), Ron
Johnson (R-Wis.) and Joe Manchin (DW.Va.). Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine)
also has signed on as a cosponsor.
The AMA thanks all 55 lawmakers
for supporting motorcyclists’ rights.
In addition, the AMA is conducting
a petition drive to end motorcycle-only
checkpoints.

What happens when
ethanol blended fuel
mixes with water?
Tell your representative
to cosponsor H.R. 1462
today!
A study involving several state
environmental agencies and the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency
sought the answer to that question
after a compliance inspector with the
Petroleum Program in the Virginia
Department of Environmental Quality
noticed “odd corrosion reactions in
some of the sumps” for the underground
fuel tanks (Wilson, et al., 2011).
Virginia’s DEQ “speculated that
acetic acid bacteria (Acetobacter) were
producing acetic acid in the sumps. The
EPA “speculated that ethanol vapor
that originated from the motor fuel was
finding its way into water in the sumps,
which would provide a source of food
for the acetic acid bacteria.” (Wilson,
et al., 2011).
The study found that sump pumps
containing water allowed the acetic
acid bacteria to degrade the ethanol to
acetic acid. The acetic acid would then
cause corrosion of the copper tubing
and valves of the pumps (See Figure
1) (Wilson, et al., 2011). Conversely,
“If moisture was not available, there
would be no opportunity for bacteria
to degrade the ethanol to acetic acid”
(Wilson, et al., 2011).
Long Riders Magazine August 2014
Figure 1 Corroded pump
This troubling study raises even
more concern about ethanol in
fuel, now that the EPA has publicly
acknowledged that ethanol blends can
damage internal combustion engines
not designed for its use by increasing
exhaust temperatures and indirectly
causing component failures.
According to the EPA, “[e]thanol
impacts motor vehicles in two primary
ways. First ... ethanol enleans the [air/
fuel] ratio (increases the proportion of
oxygen relative to hydrocarbons) which
can lead to increased exhaust gas
temperatures and potentially increase
incremental deterioration of emission
control hardware and performance
over time, possibly causing catalyst
failure. Second, ethanol can cause
materials compatibility issues, which
may lead to other component failures.
“In motorcycles and nonroad
products [using E15 and higher ethanol
blends], EPA raised engine-failure
concerns from overheating.”
This study and EPA’s acknowledgement demonstrate that fuels containing
high levels of ethanol can damage, not
only engines, but also fueling station
infrastructure.
The
American
Motorcyclist
Association opposes E15 fuel (15
percent ethanol by volume) because
inadvertent misfueling can cause
engine and fuel system failure to the
estimated 22 million motorcycles and
all-terrain vehicles currently in use and
can void manufacturers’ warranties.
The EPA needs to stick to its
proposal to roll back the requirement
for wider distribution and use of E15
under its Renewable Fuel Standard.
However, even the EPA rollback is
only a short-term fix. For a longer-term
solution, we need Congress to address
the RFS legislatively.
The AMA supports H.R. 1462. This
bill would reduce the total RFS by 79
percent in 2014 and reduce the RFS
by other significant percentages each
year until 2022, when the total RFS
is reduced by 42 percent. That is, the
bill adjusts the mandate to 21 billion
gallons in 2022, rather than 36 billion
gallons.
Moreover, H.R. 1462 rescinds
the EPA’s E15 waivers and caps the
amount of ethanol content in gasoline
at E10.
The AMA supports this common
sense solution to make sure that
motorcyclists have access to safe
fuels.
We need your help to pass H.R.
1462. You can send a prewritten
email to your representative
immediately by clicking the
“Take Action” link.

Fact or Fiction?
There is a safety community in
Washington D.C. that is trying to
destroy motorcycling as we know it
with lies and half truths. This group
is a quasi mixture of government
and private safety driven organizations including The Center for Auto
Safety, Highway Loss Data Institute,
the Advocates for Highway and Auto
Safety and the Governors Highway
Safety Association to name a few. All
of these groups work to influence the
government to enact stricter and stricter
safety standards and laws. They all do
this slightly differently from each other
but they do have one common core;
they hate motorcycles. If they thought
it was remotely possible for one minute
that they could eliminate all forms of
power driven two wheelers from the
traffic landscape, they would try. They
try to alarm the general public with
misinformation or partial information.
They claim that motorcyclist fatalities
have been on the rise since 2005 and
that is true. Some years see a dip but
for the most part motorcyclist fatalities
have risen. There was an increase of
Long Riders Magazine August 2014
36 more fatalities between from 2005
to 2011, 4,576 to 4,612 respectively.
However, bike sales and registration
numbers are up and that tells a very
different story. One that they don’t
want you to hear.
A closer look at the numbers reveals
the bulk of the story. They tell us that
motorcyclists fatalities are on the rise
but they never mention the number
of motorcycles on the road, which is
also increasing. When we look at the
numbers, they show the exact opposite
of what the media, the government
and the safety-crats are telling us. In
fact, motorcycle fatalities are occurring
on a much less frequent basis year
after year. Since 2005, fatalities have
dropped from 73.5 motorcyclists per
one hundred thousand registered
motorcycles to 54.7. That is an
almost 30% drop in fatalities in the
exact same time period in which the
fear mongers tell you fatalities are a
growing problem. All of the numbers
used here are directly from the United
States Department of Transportation
(USDOT) website. Separating fact from
fiction reveals the truth. Over six years
2.2 million motorcycles were added to
the roads and we essentially kept the
number of fatalities at a near static
number. This is not exactly the end of
the world, deathtrap-riding scenario
that the powers that be would have
you believe. All this considering that
the only difference is the Motorcycle
Riders Foundation created a federal
grant program to send money to the
states to assist with rider education and
share the road type campaigns. We
have also relaxed mandatory helmet
laws which goes directly against what
they would have you believe.
During the August congressional
recess remind your elected officials
that since 2005, we have had states
repeal helmet laws and have watched
fatalities drop. The only significant
change to the motorcycle safety
world other than more motorcycles,
is the National Highway Traffic
Administrations motorcycle safety
grant program. The same program
that was supported by the Motorcycle
Riders Foundation. This fund has
dispensed money to every state and
is used for motorcycle rider education
and share the road campaigns. In
order to continue the fund we need
Congress to pass another transportation bill. Please take advantage of the
upcoming congressional recess by
contacting your member of congress,
attending events and town hall type
meetings. Urge them to get to work on
the highway bill.

Getting Started: 5 Things
Every New Rider Should Know
People come to motorcycling in a lot of
different ways.
There’s the guy who suddenly
realizes that all his friends are going
on a weekend motorcycle trip and
he’s the one missing out because he
doesn’t ride. There’s the woman who
has been a passenger for years and
wants to ride her own ride.
There’s the middle-aged guy who
sees a kid on a dirtbike, remembers
the happy riding days of his own youth,
and suddenly can’t recall why he ever
stopped riding. Or the young woman
who spots the sleek new sportbike
in the display window and suddenly
decides, with absolute certainty but
with no warning, that she simply must
have it and learn to ride it.
These are general examples and
actual true stories. But for as many
different ways as there are to get into
motorcycling, there are a few common
experiences everyone has.
You face a bewildering variety of
choices. You need advice, but you find
that even the best-intentioned advice
from experienced riders is sometimes
contradictory.
See a word you don’t understand?
While you’re still learning the
Long Riders Magazine August 2014
motorcycle lingo, refer to our glossary
of motorcycle terms. You can also find
a wealth of tips, knowledge and advice
in our Rider Resources section.
Even a small amount of research
will quickly teach you that motorcycling
can be a relatively inexpensive, even
money-saving hobby, or it can lead
you into horribly expensive mistakes;
that it can bring life-long fun or hurt you
badly if you get it wrong.
None of which is meant to
discourage you. To the contrary
— the AMA consists of thousands
and thousands of enthusiastic riders
who hope you become a convert
to motorcycling and join in the fun
we’re having. Of course we hope
you’ll eventually become a committed
motorcyclist and join the AMA, too.
But for now, to help you get into
first gear, we’ve put together some
basic advice gathered from the
hundreds of years of riding experience
accumulated by AMA staff members,
as well as the advice we’ve heard from
AMA members, who collectively have
millions more years on the roads and
trails.
Here’s the five things we believe
every new rider needs to know.
1
Do it right: Get licensed.
Be legal. Be smart.
The statistics show that unlicensed
riders are more likely to be involved
in a crash. Does a motorcycle
endorsement on the piece of plastic
in your wallet make your riding skills
sharper? Of course not.
The real reason licensed riders
are less likely to crash is because of
their attitude, not their drivers license
status. Riders who take motorcycling
seriously, ride legally, ride sober, and
try to continuously improve their riding
skills are more likely to have long and
happy riding careers. It’s all about

39
attitude.
Which leads us to the importance of
lifelong learning.
2
You need training, but your best
friend probably isn’t your best
teacher.
True story: We know a woman
whose rider training lasted 10 feet.
That’s how far she got across the
parking lot before her boyfriend got
nervous, yelled at her, and in the
ensuing argument she gave up on
learning to ride.
Often, it’s easier to learn from a
professionally trained stranger than
from even the best-intentioned friend
or relative.
Want to ride off-road? The MSF has
a course designed to help you with
that, too. Read our account of taking
the MSF Dirtbike School or visit the
MSF website for more info.
Even if you never stray from the
pavement, having experience in a
low-traction environment will improve
your skills and make you a better rider.
Some of the world’s best riders on
asphalt got started in the dirt.
Fortunately, the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation offers a course specifically
designed to take you from zero riding
experience to a licensed motorcyclist
in one weekend. See our account of a
course to get an idea of what to expect
and read the Basic Rider Course
handbook at the MSF website to study
up in advance.
In many states, passing the MSF
course automatically makes you
eligible for a motorcycle endorsement
on your drivers license. No more
tests to take. Also, many insurance
companies offer discounts if you’ve
passed the course. Nationwide, for
example, offers a 5 percent discount,
in addition to the price break you get
as an AMA member.
The downside is that these courses
are very popular and fill up early. It’s
best to check with your state program
40
around the beginning of the year and
reserve a spot as soon as possible.
But don’t stop with the beginning
rider course. Make a commitment to
lifelong learning. You can go on to take
the MSF’s Experienced Rider Course,
and there’s a wide range of schools that
provide advanced training on the road,
on the race track or in the dirt. Check
out our list of schools, some of which
give discounts to AMA members and
our brief list of books on motorcycling
topics, including how to improve your
riding skills.
Also, there’s one other benefit of
taking an MSF course before you
plunge head first into motorcycling.
Some take the class and learn that
motorcycling’s not for them after all.
Better to learn that after dropping a
few dollars on course tuition than a few
thousand on a motorcycle.

Your dream bike shouldn’t be
your FIrst bike.
New riders tend to fall into two
categories: those who are already in
love with a particular motorcycle, and
those who have no idea what kind of
bike to get. This basic primer will help
you narrow your search »
When you’re just getting started, it’s
easy to get caught up in the allure of
the machine itself. Your friend has a
Harley so you have to have a Harley.
You saw the Ducati gleaming in the sun
and now you can’t get the color red out
of your mind. You saw AMA Superbike
Champ Ben Spies dragging a knee at
Road Atlanta and now you know you
want a Suzuki GSXR1000.
We understand. We experienced
riders can waste hours talking about
how great this bike is, or how much
we’d love to own that one, or why
this other one is more beautiful, more
desirable, etc.
And yet, the best bike for you to
start riding on is probably one that
would never inspire lust. While you
may be tempted to buy the bike of
your dreams, you’re probably best off
buying a smaller, less expensive used
motorcycle that’s mechanically sound,
even if it’s an ugly duckling.
“What?” you scream. “You’re
sapping the fun out of my dreams!”
Hear us out. Here are three reasons
to buy an inexpensive used bike to
learn on:
You’re going to drop it. And if you
drop your dream bike, you’re going to
cry. And incur bills. Hey, it’s nothing
personal. All of us, especially when we
were learning to ride, have dropped
a motorcycle or two in our day. Take
it from experience: It’s easier to
stomach the results when you’re less
emotionally (and financially) attached
to the bike that’s hitting the pavement.
What you think you want now may
not be what you really want later.
Only after you’ve ridden for a while will
you know whether what you really love
is riding across three states on a weeklong tour or riding three miles to your
local bike-night hangout. Buying an
expensive new bike today and selling
it a year from now when you realize it’s
not for you is the perfect way to take a
big financial hit on depreciation.
You can still get your dream bike.
Once you have some experience and
have refined your idea of what you
want in a motorcycle, you’ll be better
able to choose the one that’s right for
a long-term relationship. Plus, you can
sell the cheap learner bike, probably for
about what you paid for it, to another
aspiring rider. Just feel the good karma
spreading.
Choosing a bike
New riders tend to fall into
two categories: those who are
already in love with a particular
motorcycle, and those who have
no idea what kind of bike to get.
This basic primer will help you
narrow your search »
Long Riders Magazine August 2014

It’s not just the motorcycle. You
need gear.
We’ve mentioned the unpleasantness of dropping your bike. What if
your body hits the ground? Will you be
prepared?
While the AMA opposes mandatory
helmet laws, the Association strongly
encourages voluntary helmet use.
Even some states that don’t require
helmets for adult riders may require
them for riders with less than a year of
experience. You can find your state’s
requirements on our state laws page.
A helmet and gloves are a good
start, but also consider boots, a jacket
and pants specifically made for riding.
Gearing up right doesn’t have to be
expensive. While you should always
buy a new helmet because crash
damage to the interior can often be
undetectable to anyone but an expert,
gently used riding pants, boots, gloves
and a jacket are usually fine. Most
retailers and online mail-order houses
also frequently discount non-current
styles.
Rain gear made specifically for
motorcycling is inexpensive and
will keep you comfortable and safer
when the weather turns foul. Ordinary
rainwear will likely be destroyed from
the wind when riding a motorcycle.
5. You don’t have to ride alone.
Of course you can, if you want,
but for most people, motorcycling is a
social activity, at least part of the time.
Meeting other riders will introduce
you to a level of camaraderie that’s
uncommon these days. Riding with
responsible, experienced riders can
help you improve your own skills. And,
above all that, it’s fun.
How do you find like-minded riders?
If you’re interested in a certain kind or
brand of motorcycle, you can almost
always find an internet message board
devoted to that interest.
The AMA can also help. On our site
you can find an AMA-chartered club in
Long Riders Magazine August 2014
your area, or search our database of
thousands of AMA-sanctioned events
across the country.
Of course we hope you’ll become
hooked on motorcycling, just like the
rest of us have, and then we hope
you’ll be committed enough to join
the AMA and help protect your right to
ride. And stick with us for the long, fun
ride ahead.

It's a fact:
Alcohol affects your riding skills.
What you can do.
Riding a motorcycle takes coordination, balance and, most important, good
judgment. Alcohol, more than any other
single factor, can rob you of your ability
to think clearly and ride safely–even
after just one drink.
As with drivers of other types of vehicles, that loss of skill and judgment-and
the danger it poses-is a potential problem anywhere motorcyclists ride after
consuming alcohol. To be sure you keep
yourself and those around you safe, it's
good to know exactly how alcohol can
affect the critical motor skills and judgment needed to ride safely.
The result of making the wrong choice
is all too clear. Statistics show that nearly 40 percent of fatally injured motorcycle
operators had a blood alcohol concentration
(BAC) of .01 or greater. Of these, 80 percent
had BAC of .08 or higher– the illegal limit in
most states.
The safest choice is don't drink and
ride. Because once you start, your judgment is affected and your ability to say
"no"–or "no more"–is weaker. And keep
an eye on your friends, too. If you see
that they've had too much to drink, do
what you can to keep them from getting
back on their motorcycle.
If you notice that a friend may be
impaired and shouldn't ride, arrange a
safe ride for them. If you need help, don't
be afraid to get other friends involved.
Ride Straight Q&A
Q: Why do some people seem to get
Alcohol works fast.
Unlike other beverages, alcohol is
absorbed very rapidly into the bloodstream.
In just a few minutes, the alcohol from just
one drink can circulate throughout the body
and affect the brain.
Different drinks work in different ways–
and in ways you might not expect. Straight
whiskey reaches the bloodstream faster than
a drink diluted by water. Sweet or carbonated mixers may actually accelerate the
absorption of alcohol into the blood. And
beer is just as intoxicating and just as
potent–a 12-ounce beer has the same alcoholic content as a shot of whiskey or a 5ounce glass of wine.
How much is too much?
You know that "too much" alcohol can get
you in trouble–but how much is "too much"?
Alcohol affects each of us differently.
Remember: Alcohol begins working on your
brain with the first drink. So even when
you're not legally impaired, you've already
lost some of the skills and judgment you
need to ride safely.

"tipsy" faster than others?
A: A number of factors can influence
how alcohol affects you. Drinking on an
empty stomach, when you're tired, tense,
or on certain medication can accelerate
alcohol's effects. A person’s weight, size
and alcohol tolerance are also factors that
affect reactions to consuming alcoholic
beverages.
How fast you drink, and the amount of
alcohol in each drink can also affect alcohol's impact.
Q: Is there any way to slow down how
fast alcohol gets into my bloodstream?
A: If you do drink, pace yourself–that
is, drink slower. Know how much you're
drinking and how much alcohol is in each
drink. Food can help slow the rate that
alcohol is absorbed by your body.
Q: What's the fastest way to sober-up?
For more information, dial
NHTSA's toll-free hotline at

DOT HS 809 633
July 2003
A: There are no shortcuts. None of
those "remedies" you've heard about–cold
showers, hot coffee, or physical
exercise–will make you sober. All you can
do is wait.
Q: How soon after drinking can I ride?
A: There's no easy answer, because
alcohol affects each of us differently.
Remember, your body can process about
one drink an hour. So watch yourself. The
responsible choice is to choose not to
drink and ride.
