After-Gathering August Ride Newcomb’s Ranch Angeles Crest Highway Near La Canada Flintridge CA1-I Website/Activity Calendar www.gwrra-ca1i.org California District www.gwrra-ca.org Southwest Region F www.gwrra-regionf.org National www.gwrra.org Friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge 1 CD’s George and Norma Cheers! This August, as we say “goodbye” to Covina Bowl, it gives us a great opportunity to think about what makes Chapter I a longstanding, strong GWRRA Chapter. At the risk of being outrageously obvious, it is not our location that has made us great, it’s YOU! It is not that our charter and our home base landed us in “Covina”. As a matter of fact, Chapter I has one of the widest geographical spreads among its active participants in all of California — from Riverside to Crestline to Santa Fe Springs. Some of us travel a few miles, some have a much longer round trip. It is not that we’ve had the convenience of meeting in a banquet room at the bowling alley with enough room to spread out our breakfast plates, our store, our door prizes—and a place to welcome guests. It’s not about the room, it’s about the people! So, as we meet at Denny’s for the first time this August 10th, if we have each of you, then we have exactly what we need to continue in the great traditions of Chapter I. In the words of the “Cheer’s!” theme song… Newcomb’s Ranch August 10 Big Bear August 25 Making your way in the world today takes everything you've got. Taking a break from all your worries, sure would help a lot. Wouldn't you like to get away? Sometimes you want to go Where everybody knows your name, and they're always glad you came. You wanna be where you can see, our troubles are all the same You wanna be where everybody knows your name. You wanna go where people know, people are all the same, You wanna go where everybody knows your name. By Gary Portnoy and Judy Hart Angelo Until next time, we’re taking the long way home. George & Norma District Convention Aug 30-Sept 1 See Page 10 for all the group ride details. Welcome to your new Chapter I Newsletter format. Your personal Newsletter will arrive in your e-mail inbox on the 1st of every month. At the Gathering you‘ll receive the new “Tiger Rag”, a print version of only Newsletter Highlights and a 2-Month Calendar. Enjoy! 2 ACD’s Joel & Marti ACD’s Dan & Lavonne New Meeting Location As we move our Chapter gathering to a new location after 20 some years it comes with mixed emotions. The fond memories of all of the great times we’ve had over the past 13 years at Covina Bowl and the excitement of a new beginning. Unfortunately, we may not be at the August meeting to celebrate with you since we will be landing at LAX from Maui just a few short hours prior to the meeting time. That is if the plane is on time. There are times when you’re looking for a good hot meal, our new location will definitely provide it for you. And, a good hot cup of coffee to help wake you up and get you started. Tom Bodett always says “we’ll leave the lights on for ya”… We’re Dan and Lavonne, and we will always leave the welcome mat out for ya! Here’s to a new beginning, new friends and new memories! Safety doesn’t happen by accident. Dan & Lavonne Are You Prepared With a Well-Stocked First Aid Kit? There have been several requests for an article about first aid kits and that sounds like a reasonable request, so, here you go. Is bigger better? Referring to your first aid kit on the bike, well, everything is relative! Space is limited and many “wants” need to be put on the back burner so the “needs” have priority seating with you. Here's some suggested items: CPR Mask with one way valve Mylar blanket 2-3 pair of disposable gloves in a zip lock bag. Non-latex is the best choice. 1-2 small roller gauze 2”-3” 1-2 large rolled gauze 4” 4 absorbent pads Assorted nonstick gauze pads Assorted Band Aids Adhesive tape Plastic/waterproof tape Saline eye wash 2 eye pads (both eyes are always covered) Triangular bandage Safety glasses Trauma scissors Tweezers Waterless hand sanitizer Iodine swabs Antibiotic ointment Chemical cold pack Aspirin/Tylenol/Ibuprofen Waste bag Flashlight Pencil Scratch pad Most items are available at your favorite store. Some are available in specialty stores. Harbor Freight has a good assortment of first aid items. It makes no difference where you get your supplies, please get them! You'll have a customized kit before you know it! And don't forget to pick a date to check your supplies and be diligent about checking. Marti & Joel 3 Educator Bud A Few Tips for Motorcyclists Here are just a few tips for you to consider while riding: Riding in blind spots: One of the most dangerous mistakes motorcyclists make is to linger in other driver’s blind spots. Motorcycles easily disappear in the invisible area between typical car and truck mirror coverage. Few drivers seem to practice head checks to determine if a lane change is safe. A motorcyclist is riding along, and all of a sudden a vehicle is coming into their lane. A rule of thumb is to ride through blind spots. Also, avoid changing lanes into a driver’s blind spot and position your motorcycle within your lane to ensure optimum visibility in traffic. Accelerating through an intersection: It is tempting to twist the throttle through an intersection and try to beat a red light. It is a reflex many of us have, and even the smartest riders have been known to do it. The problem is that intersections are the number one location where crashes occur. It is important to remember that motorcycles have small visual impact and can be lost in surrounding traffic. The small frontal profile not only makes us harder to see, it can also make it more difficult for others to judge our distance and approach speed. Keeping this in mind, you can see why drivers often pull out in front of motorcycles, thinking it is safe to proceed. Stopping too close to the vehicle in front of you: Too many riders position themselves poorly for escape when stopping behind vehicles at a stop light or stop sign. Give yourself plenty of room to maneuver in case a driver approaching from the rear can’t stop in time. This means positioning your motorcycle well away from the vehicle in front of you and off to one side, usually in the left wheel track. This position allows room to move forward, past the car in front of you. It also has the added benefit of keeping your tires off the often slippery center portion of the lane. Be sure to keep your eyes on your mirrors to monitor vehicles approaching from the rear. Keep your motorcycle in first gear so you can respond quickly, if necessary. Signaling too late: Miscommunication is a major cause of traffic related mishaps. One of the most common examples of this is slowing down or maneuvering before signaling your intent, which forces surrounding traffic to guess what you are up to. Well timed communication insures that traffic around you is not surprised by your actions. Remember, simply rolling off the throttle may slow your motorcycle enough to require the typical car driver behind you to brake, but he doesn’t know what you are going to do. Signal three to five seconds prior to turning and activate your brake light early to alert drivers of a change in direction or speed. Ride safe, and, above all, have fun! Bud Parking Lot Practice PLP Bert’s Mega Mall Saturday August 24th 10:00 AM Skills Games Just for the Fun...and the Practice 4 District Directors Vince and Pam Puterbaugh Life is but a Journey, please be part of ours! For three years, Pam and I served as California’s Asst. District Directors under Bill and Rene Johnson and one of our monthly duties was to write an article for this very newsletter. Over the years, I got into the routine of dedicating certain issues to particular themes: in January, I would write about the officers’ meeting; in May, the topic was always the Region F Convention and July was about Wing Ding. The August article is perpetually dedicated to our own California District Rally and this year is no different. If this were a typical year, I would write about how the opportunities for early registration ends in a few short days on August 9th and how there are 5 sets of tires being raffled. If this was any other year, I would hype the professional Polynesian dancers performing during the Sunday night that is included in the cost of the dinner. Any year, other than this one, I would be bragging about the 1,000 turn ride we put together and how you needed to come to Visalia as it sits at the gateway to Sequoia National Park with some of the most unique scenery in the world. Lastly, if this was a typical year, I would remind you of all the educational opportunities awaiting you, from the Advanced Rider Course to the Trike Rider Course to the myriad of seminars available. Although these are all compelling reasons to attend this year’s District Convention, they shouldn’t be your primary motivation. This week, California lost one of its newest Chapter Directors to cancer. CA-1F’s Tom Klock went into the hospital at the beginning of the week, was released to hospice on Friday and passed away the following Monday. If you have been following the e-mails that Pam has been sending out, you know of the uncommonly high number of our members that have passed away recently. These losses should serve as a reminder of the real reason we ever attend any of these events: to spend time with our friends. The excess of funerals that we have attended this year serve as a reminder of just how temporary our time on this earth truly is. While Tom was in the hospital, his chapter members spent shifts sitting with him around the clock so that he would not be alone and to support and spell his wife, Tammy. This is the sort of love you routinely find throughout GWRRA. If this was any other year, I would encourage you to come for all of the activities; this year we are inviting you to come spend time with friends. If you would like to send Tammy your condolences, her address is 896 Banock St., Spring Valley, CA 91977 and her e-mail address is [email protected]. If you would like to attend Tom’s celebration of life, his memorial service will be held on August 3rd at 4pm at Flinn Springs County Park, 14787 Old Highway 80, El Cajon, CA 92021. Hopefully, Pam and I will see many of you at Tom’s service this Saturday and all of you in Visalia at the end of the month. Until then, ride well, ride often and be good to one another. Vincent and Pamela Puterbaugh Two Chapter I Group Riding Departure Times: Thursday, August 29, 6:00AM, Loc #2 Friday, August 30, 6:00AM, Loc #2 5 Linda Flechtner August 3 Dan Morgan August 6 Joe Bender Larry Rauch August 11 August 18 Wade Nygren August 22 David Lee Amazing Team Challenge CA District Convention in Visalia August 30 – September 1, 2013 For: Teams & Individuals, Motorcycles & Trikes, Experts & Novices August 2 Bill & Bobbie Todd August 15 Terry & Becky Klein August 27 Come and let’s play at the District convention in Visalia! We are hosting a free obstacle course for you to practice your riding skills and to compete if you want. The Amazing Team Challenge is a fun-filled bike riding activity that will invigorate the young at heart as well as revitalize the more seasoned, mature riders. It is designed for teams as well as individuals to determine who will end up with the fastest times. It’s all about fun, safety, and knowledge! GWRRA is presenting this riding challenge for the participants at the CA District convention. This is a timed, competitive event, involving a straight-away, right and left turns, a couple of 360 degree circles, a cone weave, stopping in a box after the timed run and a lot of fun. It is open to all riding skill levels—it can be easy for the novice rider and humbling for the more advanced rider. After all, this is a riding organization so why wouldn’t you all want to try your hand at it? The best time to make friends Is before you need them. Ethel Barrymore If you are interested in participating, you may practice riding the course on the range at the parking lot adjacent to the Holiday Inn all day Saturday. The official timed event will be held on Sunday morning, 10am to 12:30pm, immediately following the Gold Angels demonstration team performance. Even if you don’t plan to ride the event, come out anyway to cheer on your favorite team or rider! Be there for a Chapter I member in need. You may sign-up for this event when you register at the convention; look for the ATC registration table. If you have good news to share or would like Chapter I to be thinking & praying for you, contact Becky or Pat. (See pg. 16 for contact info.) Hope to see you all there! Jerry Gragg. California District Educator Remember to: Sign-in, register, tally sheet, and liability release. Riders use proper riding gear. Safety inspection of your motorcycle.

It is difficult to plan well without knowing who’s coming. Please be mindful that it is equally as important for the Chapter rallies that are not ours. Pre-registration is the highest form of etiquette for our fellow Gold Wingers that work just as hard on their events as we do on ours. Please check out the upcoming rallies and take the time to pre-register. YOUR participation makes it all so much better! 17 REGION ‘F’un STAFF Region F Directors Anita & JR Alkire [email protected] 619-741-8893 Assistant Directors Garry & Karry Woo [email protected] 520-883-7155 Assistant Directors Joyce & Rick Elmore 970-619-8140 Assistant Directors Cathy & George Diaz [email protected] 949-551-4896 Treasurer Crystal Richard [email protected] 858-541-1176 Region F Educators Dave & Dee Gormley [email protected] 520-749-5653 Asst.
