Hello Chapter U,
It's hard to believe that June has come and gone. Our Congratulations to
AJ for graduating from Fremont High School. We wish the best to him!
Marc & Robbie Nelson
Marv and Judy led the June 18th dinner ride to Bible Park in Ohio. They
provided the meat and all who attended brought a side dish. Thank you Marv and Judy for a change of
pace. Cookouts are always fun. Congratulations to Laurie Siebert for riding to this event on her newly
purchased Rebel. We are proud of you!!! She joined Mike and Jinger, Cory and Amanda and Marv and
Judy. Robbie and I were in Fort Wayne because Robbie was participating in the Abate Class. She passed
and proved to herself she is never too old to accomplish things on her bucket list. I wonder what is on her
bucket list for next year? The Shaken Baby Syndrome Benefit Ride was a huge success. There were
around 75 bikes. There was a silent auction, good fellowship and a good meal. All the proceeds went to
the Ronald McDonald House. Thank you Lesley for organizing this benefit.
Bill and Joyce led the Chapter to The Breakfast House in Kendallville on July 2nd. Wow what a great turnout, good food, and awesome fellowship. Guests Barry and Missy Wilcox joined us. Thank you Bill and
Joyce!
CHAPTER DIRECTORS
We hope all had a terrific 4th of July. It was beautiful weather for outside
grilling and family get togethers or just hopping on the goldwing and
riding till you couldn't ride anymore. Thank you for all those who have
served our country and are still fighting for our freedom.
Other upcoming July events include:
• July 23rd, Armstrong Space Museum in Wapakoneta, OH
• July 27th, Byron Center Cruise In
• July 28, 29, 30, Region D Rally in Coldwater, MI.
The annual Hog Roast is coming up August 13th, 11:00 am - 1:00. A 1:30 the silent auction ends and the
scenic ride begans. Hope to see you all there.
Ian honored Tom and Teena with the Good Deed Award for helping him out in a time of need. Thank you
Tom and Teena!!
Until we meet again - Ride Safe!

Excuse 1: Wearing a helmet when you crash can break your neck.
According to Motorcycle Cruiser and Smarter USA. Org it doesn’t cause
injuries. According to studies five review by the United States General
Accounting Office all the studies reported a higher incidence of severe
neck injuries for un-helmeted riders. It seems logical that if you put more
weight farther out on the end of your neck, and when you are thrown off
the bike that extra weight will create more pendulum force on your neck.
It turns out that it doesn’t work that way. The energy absorbing qualities
of a DOT helmet also absorb the energy that breaks riders necks in
impacts. Studies have shown that helmeted riders have fewer neck injuries than riders who were not wearing a helmet
JAY & HARRIET FANSLER
Excuse 2: Helmets prevent hearing traffic noises.
Helmets do not affect a riders ability to tell the difference between sounds.
In fact some studies indicate that helmets are useful in reducing wind noise and protection hearing. The
University of Southern California conducted 900 on-scene, in-depth investigations of motorcycle crash
scenes ( the Hurt Study) and did not uncover a single case in which a rider would not detect a critical
traffic sound. Vision is the predominant sense for detecting hazards not hearing.
Excuse 3: Helmets reduce peripheral vision.
Most people have 180 degrees of peripheral vision. Federal safety standards require 210 degrees of
vision. Over 90 percent of crashes happen within a range of 160 degrees, with the majority of the remaining crashes occurring from behind. So very few came form the side.
Excuse 4: Helmets aid in causing heat exhaustion.
That was talked about last month, the helmet provides
shade, it keeps the head cooler due to the insulation for
impact resistance helps keep the head cool.
Its safer to wear your gear all the time.
Safe riding Jay
