Jim and Barb Kopchok Chapter Directors
Don’t look! The end of the riding season is coming soon. Time
to follow Joe Hughes and friends to some warmer weather
and extend our riding season! For the rest of us, it’s time to
think about making the most of the good weather that remains and enjoying some Chapter rides after our meetings.
As I write this we just got back from our eight days in Hillsboro, WI. What a great week to bond with friends and create
new memories. The Hillsboro area was a great choice for the
roads and scenery and we even had a couple people join us for a part of the week. This was one of
our goals so that more could enjoy the opportunity to ride.
Rather than trying to rehash all the great rides and routes we discovered, please just read the Z2
News and Views on our web site for a small daily diary and some pictures. I have also posted the
updates to both our Facebook group and our Facebook page. A HUGE thank you goes out to Don
Shore who took it upon himself to map out and lead all of our rides. They were well paced, and yet
challenging so that riders of all types could enjoy.
Thanks to Doug Koglin, our ACD, for making the hotel arrangements and providing “hospitality”.
Doug also rode sweep all week, keeping everyone in line.
Last month, our after meeting ride was to the Air Classics Museum in Sugar Grove. We had a nice
ride over to the museum heading south from our meeting place and then turning west, bypassing a
lot of the traffic that confounds our meeting location. The day was hot and the outdoor museum of
vintage aircraft was interesting, with several elderly former pilots providing tour guide duties. We
were all happy to get back indoors to the air conditioning and then meet across the street at the
Roundup for lunch. No one was eager to jump back on the bikes in the heat. Once we were moving
it wasn’t too bad.
By the time you read this we should have also ridden on our I Scream run on Sept. 26. Meeting at
Fox Valley Cycles and heading for (wait for it) ice cream is a Chapter staple. We had a great ride
with 7 bikes and 13 people finding some back roads on the way to Ottawa. Triple J was our destination and everyone enjoyed their sweet treats.

Meeting Location
Also by the time you read this, members should be able to share their experience
from the Fall Color Ride. We shortened the ride to two days so that it would require a vacation day. Don planned the ride to Galena/Savanna and then, per my suggestion from last year which didn’t work due to weather, the Oregon Fall Festival
and Stronghold Castle. A medieval faire is held at the castle, and this is the only
weekend all year that the castle is open to visitors.
We still have a couple Chapter meetings left where we hope to ride. Our planning
meeting is currently scheduled for November 14 at Immanuel Lutheran Church in
Elmhurst where we have held previous training and planning meetings. Thank you
Robert and Char for making all those arrangements.

Well our biggest ride of the year is in the books, this year we headed to Hillsboro Wisconsin. At
one point during the week we had as many as 16 members join us as we cruised through the
hills and valleys of west central Wisconsin. We couldn't have asked for better weather, only had
to deal with rain once during one of our rides. Now we begin working on our big trip for next
year.
Also in the books is our Ice Cream Ride to Ottawa on September 26th. We met up at Fox Valley
Cycles and left with 7 bikes and 13 people. Turned out to be another perfect day for riding and
we clocked in about 160 miles for the day.
October 3rd & 4th was our annual Fall Color ride. 5 bikes and 8 people headed towards Galena
cruising through northwest Illinois. The ride started out a little wet and chilly, but the rain soon
stopped and other than being chilly, it was a decent weekend for riding. We originally wanted to
stop in Galena for lunch, but their Oktoberfest was happening, and the town’s population was
double what is usually is plus there was no where to park so we headed just outside of town to
O’Dowd’s Irish pub. After lunch we headed south making a quick stop at a local winery before
continuing south through the Mississippi Palisades , into Savanna Illinois and on to our Hotel.
The plan on Sunday was to head into Oregon Illinois for their fall festival, or the Olde English
Faire at Stronghold Castle, this didn't work out either. Oregon was shut down due to a 5K run in
the morning and a parade in the afternoon, so we decided to take a different route home to
avoid the masses.
We only have a couple of more rides planned. Next is to Silver Springs State Park after our meeting on Sunday October 11th to see the local fall colors.
The last ride of the season is our “Frost your Buns” Ride after our November meeting. We’ll be
heading north to the Broken Oar in Port Barrington for lunch. Anyone not wanting to ride but
still wants to join us for the ride can
do so in their car as long as you
drive with your windows open and
your air conditioning on full blast.
We’ll be working on our rides calendar for next year, so if anyone has
any suggestions for rides or ride
destinations that you would like us
to consider, please forward them to
me

Lessons Learned on the Hillsboro Trip
Returning from our recent Wisconsin trip, I am happy to say that all bikes and people returned home safe and in one piece. Trips like
this offer us all a unique opportunity to develop and test our riding skills, whatever level we may be at. I am also constantly proud of
how well we ride together as a group. I am sure anyone joining us on our rides would feel they were among experienced, skilled and
safe riders and that contributes to everyone’s enjoyment.
However, that’s not to say we can’t grow from our experiences.
Ride Your Own Ride
How many times have you heard this? And yet it still applies. Don’t be pressured into riding faster or outside of your skill level just to
keep up with the group. Your (and your co-rider’s) safety is paramount. And if you should have a mishap while riding it could cause others to also collide. If you are uncomfortable with your place in the string of riders let the Ride Leader, Chapter Director, or Ride Sweep
know so we can re-arrange the group. If necessary we can split into multiple groups. We are all hear to encourage, protect and teach
each other good riding tips. Take advantage.
Speed Management
Along the same lines, be aware of your speed management, particularly on twisty, curving roads. Seeing around the curve, planning for
the apex of the turn, throttling through the turn and then setting up for the next curve takes experience and confidence. Enjoy the ride
as well the “riding” and witness the scenery at a slower pace if it suits you. Rides such as this give us a chance to try out our skills in
ways that aren’t common in Illinois. I spent a lot of time this week planning and experimenting with speed, gears, braking and throttle
under different conditions and combination with a new trike.
Stay Focused
Perhaps, almost counter to the previous remark about enjoying the ride, is the need to stay focused. We are driving heavy machines,
often with passengers and high rates of speed. It doesn’t take much in the way of a road obstruction or a momentary lapse to put you
(and everyone else) in harm’s way. And, sometimes it is at low speed when we think there is nothing to worry about, that we lose control and balance of the bike. Stay Focused!
Gap Management
When riding in a group we try to follow the 1 and 2 second rules for maintaining distance between bikes. On long country roads it’s
easy for the string to get spread out as everyone manages the turns and accelerates at different rates. Without other traffic around us,
that should be great. See “Ride Your Own Ride” above. However, when we are in traffic conditions, keeping the gap down keeps the
group together better to work through traffic lights, stop signs and more. Cars approaching from another lane might be tempted to dive
into our string. It’s also important navigating through stop lights and stop signs to keep everyone together. Keep in mind, that the gap
management problem is exaggerated for those at the end of the string. All of this must be managed by the individual rider and the conditions at the time, but be aware of what is happening for the sake of the entire group.
Lane Changes
This group riding technique is always important. When changing lanes on a multiple lane road, it is up to the Ride Leader and the Sweep
to coordinate the lane change. This occurs by 1.) the Leader indicating to the Sweep to get another lane, 2.) The Sweep indicating that
they have secured the lane and information about other cars that need to pass the Leader for the lane to be clear, and 3.) the Ride
Leader giving the signal for the remaining riders to switch lanes.
Some riders are tempted to move as soon as they see Sweep get the lane. Don’t cave to your temptations! Be patient and wait for the
Leader. This almost always causes a domino effect where everyone moves even if the Leader isn’t ready yet. We don’t all know what
the conditions may be ahead and sometimes the Leader changes their mind.
Conclusion
Having recently changed from two wheels to a trike caused me to rethink a lot about riding technique and plan my ride much differently.
It caused me to re-engage with my ride and not let my mind wander due to over confidence.
All of us have fallen guilty to one of these items at some time or other. Training and practice makes for good habits, and good habits
make for a safer journey.
Ride Safe!

You Don’t Always See It
It is that time of the year when the temperatures are up and down.
Here in the Midwest we can have temperature swings of 10, 20, or
30 degrees in one day. The reason I bring this up is that a lot of us
like to ride as long as we can. And that brings out many dangers or
motorcyclists. Just to name a few is sleet, freezing rain and black ice.
These are the most dangerous because they are hard to see on the
road surface.
Black Ice is the most dangerous of all in my opinion. Black ice forms
when the air temperature is at 32 degrees or below at the surface and rain is falling. The ground temperature causes the precipitation to freeze upon impact, thus creating ice, sleet and the refreezing of snow or
water can also generate black ice. It is called black ice because it tends to look like the rest of the pavement on the road, abut it’s actually clear, the complexion of black ice makes it very difficult to see, black
ice usually occurs around dawn and in the late evening, when the sun goes down and temperatures are
usually the lowest.
If you must ride here are a few tips:
 The best thing is to check the temperature and check to see if it is cold enough for freezing.
 Take a look at the pavement. If the pavement is dry but you see spots of pavement that look dark and
glossy, is probably black ice.
 Before going out at night you should check the weather conditions, as black ice is hardest to see in
the dark.
 The most common locations for black ice to form is shaded or tree covered roads, bridges, and over-
passes because of the ability to freeze quickly.
 The best thing to do is try not to drive when conditions are favorable for black ice because it is the
most dangerous thing you can do. Most likely the ice will win and you will get hurt.
Stay safe and enjoy your ride.

Communications Options for our Chapter
We now have several different ways to communicate within our Chapter. It’s always a challenge to keep everyone
informed and up-to-date as we all have busy schedules, travel, can’t always make the meetings, and so on.
The Chapter Newsletter remains a staple for our monthly written document. It is typically mailed out several days
before our scheduled meeting, and almost immediately is also available for download via our website. Unfortunately, the newsletter needs to be written a week or more before the meeting in order to allow time for production and printing, and so things may change or need to be updated. Hard copy versions of the newsletter are available to anyone who needs one, just let us know.
The meeting itself is important way for us to share information not to mention a lot more fun, but again, not everyone can always make the meeting and may still want to engage with us in our rides and other activities.
Our website (www.ilz2.com) is probably the central means for everyone to stay abreast of the latest information.
Articles from our newsletter are published in the “Chapter IL-Z2 News & Articles” section. You can search/view
these without the need to open the entire newsletter. Further, you can subscribe to these articles by following
three easy steps, shown below. Whenever an article is added or modified you will be sent an email notification.
You can always unsubscribe. Newsletters are available for download, links to helpful sites, our updated Ride/Event
Calendar and more.
STEP ! – Click on menu for Chapter IL-Z2 News and Articles
STEP 2 – Enter your email address (e.g. [email protected])
Continued on Page 12
Page 11
STEP 3 – Confirm your email
September 2015 Chapter IL-Z2 News
(Continued from Page 11)
STEP 4 – Receive Confirmation in your email
Another method is to use Facebook. Many people do not use or like Facebook but we have almost 35 members of the
GWRRA IL-Z2 Facebook group. This group is private and if you choose to join, Tony will approve your full participation.
You can then see posts and some active communication chats between members, questions being answered and some impromptu rides or other being established. I personally wasn’t a big Facebook fan until I saw how valuable this is. For example, at our recent dinner, due to some cancellations, Doug found we had some extra room. He put this on Facebook so any
last minute dinner goers or their guests would feel welcome – and it worked!
Another Facebook option is the new Facebook page (not the same as the group) that was recently created. This is more for
publishing information about our Chapter and what is going on so that we might be able to connect with non-members and
encourage new participation. This Facebook page is at http://www.facebook.com/ilz2wings, We have posting on different
topics and even will post events as reminders for currently scheduled activity.
If you should have any questions on how to sign up or use Facebook please just ask, as we have several members who are
very good using this application.
In all cases, we are trying our best to keep you informed about what is going on in your Chapter. If you should have any
questions or concerns, please let us know.
