I don't desire a big house, a fast car, or a fancy chair. All I need is the open wind, my free
country, and the land god gave us. Laugh hard, breathe fresh air, and make memories. Adam Sandoval
President's Corner by Al Ari
I feel a little bit like an absentee member of late. I don’t normally travel for work,
but due to a contract with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission to inspect all the
bridges they own, I’ve spent the last two work weeks in Harrisburg, PA. This work
commitment caused me to miss our May general membership meeting, but
fortunately for me, our other Primary Officers were right there to handle things in
my absence. To add insult to injury, I missed Vicki’s run for ice cream after the
meeting.
Due to a powerboat race event in Point Pleasant I decided to move my ice cream
ride from Hoffman’s to The Sand Stand in Medford Lakes. I planned my route from my hotel room in Harrisburg
and decided to test it out after returning from Harrisburg the night before the scheduled ride date. My daughter
was happy to accompany me for the ride and was also more than willing

to sample the ice cream. After the pre-ride I tweaked the route a bit and
hoped the weather forecast would improve for the ride. Perhaps
surprisingly to no one with the way spring has gone thus far, the weather
forecast was terrible for the ice cream ride with temps in the low 60’s and
rain resulting in me canceling the ride. The good news for any ice cream
enthusiasts in our group is there are some open dates on the ride
calendar and I plan to re-schedule the ride. The Sand Stand offers over
36 flavors of homemade ice cream and their menu includes “The Sand
Pit”; an 8 scoop ice cream sundae with 4 toppings, whipped cream and
cherries. Eat the entire sundae and you (or your team) can have your
picture added to The Sand Stand wall of fame! You’ve got a few weeks to
build up your appetite for the Sand Pit between now and the make-up
ride date.
The main reason I am relaying this story is to help everyone understand we do not make the decision to cancel a
ride without serious consideration. Our ride leaders and road captains dedicate significant time behind the
scenes to plan and test their routes, adjust as necessary and assemble ride itineraries. These decisions are
made based on the best information, including weather forecasts, available at the time we need to make a
decision in order to get the word out to everyone before you hit the road to the ride meet location. Sometimes the
forecast is off the mark and the decision to cancel appears overly cautious. Please understand the person
leading the ride is most familiar with their route and the characteristics of the roads we’ll be traveling and is
responsible for making sure weather conditions are suitable for the ride. Canceling rides is frustrating for the ride
leader as well as those planning to attend the ride, but we want to make sure we all return safely from our club
rides
I won’t be going along on the Memorial Day weekend ride to Wellsboro, PA because, as many of you know, I
coach a travel baseball team and our team is playing in a baseball tournament the holiday weekend. I wish
everyone going to Wellsboro a safe, enjoyable and sun drenched trip and look forward to hearing some good
stories upon your return. Maybe a ride will pop up over the weekend for those not going on the Wellsboro ride….
Secretary's Corner by Vicki Bright
We want to thank all the ride leaders for their mentoring Scott and I as we
become acclimated as ride leaders in 2016. We decided to develop our
skills since we enjoy riding and seeking out new roads. I know some of
our rides thus far have been postponed due to the weather, but we are
moving them to another spot on the calendar.

Do Not Cheap Out on Motorcycle Insurance
By: Andrew S. Prince, Attorney at Law
Every day we are all bombarded by the insurance industry competing against each other
for your motorcycle and car insurance. Without exception, all the ads on television, radio
and in print media follow the same theme. “Call us we are here to save you money.” “We
promise that if you give us 15 minutes of your time we will save you 15% on your
insurance.” One company now says “give us 7 minutes.” And so on and so forth.
When you save money on your motorcycle insurance or car insurance all you really are
doing is buying less coverage and protection. Why do I say this? When you buy a
minimum amount of insurance coverage ($15,000.00 in NJ) for the cheapest price
available, all you are doing is not protecting yourself and family in a big way. The
insurance industry wants to sell insurance, just not bigger policies.
By way of example if you would purchase a minimum car or motorcycle insurance policy
for $15,000.00 you would be running the risk that if you are hurt by another vehicle

operator’s negligence, the chances are very good that the person hurting you will also
maintain a minimum amount of insurance in the amount of $15,000.00. How will you then
be compensated properly if you are injured? If you had purchased the private passenger
vehicle maximum, $500,000.00 on your motorcycle policy, you will then be provided
underinsurance protection in the amount of $485,000.00 greater than the minimum amount
by the individual that hurt you. This policy of containing under-insurance of $500,000.00 as
compared to a $15,000.00 policy is much cheaper than you think. For less than a dollar a
day, you can pick up an additional $485,000.00 worth of coverage a year to protect you
and your family in case you are seriously injured in a motorcycle accident. This should be
a “no brainer.”
I would urge you to immediately look at your motorcycle insurance policy. I would urge you
to do the same with your automobile insurance policy. If you are maintaining insurance in
the amount of $15,000.00 to even $100,000.00 worth of coverage I am telling you that for a
few dollars more a year, you can go up to at least $250,000.00 on your motorcycle
(PROGRESSIVE INSURANCE now offers $500,000.00 uninsured and underinsurance
UM/UIM endorsement on a bike) to $500,000.00 of coverage and protection on your
automobile and (and possibly more with an umbrella policy that provides UM/UIM
coverage). You will never hear your insurance company or your insurance agent try to
convince you to increase your motorcycle and automobile insurance coverage. They are
happy selling you minimum coverage and protection. Maximizing your insurance coverage
is a wonderful gift to yourself and your family for very little extra money and the insurance
industry does not want you to know about it.
I do not have enough space in this particular article to convince you here of “not to cheap
out on your motorcycle insurance.” Therefore, I would urge you, after reading this article,
to call, email or fax your insurance questions to me at no charge. Free advice. The saying
“penny wise and dollar foolish” was never more apropo than when it comes to our society
and its purchase of motorcycle and car insurance. The insurance industry has us all
brainwashed by the bombardment of advertising to save money. Remember saving money
only equals receiving less protection for you and your family.
Need advice? Call me before it is too late. It is always a free consultation. I will review
your insurance coverage for free. It is my pleasure to do so. For more motorcycle
insurance information, call me at 1-(800)-TEAM-LAW or MotorcycleinjuryNJ.com.

Prince's Motorcycle was icon in 'Purple Rain"
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/cars/2016/04/28/princes-motorcycle-icon-purple-rain/83627830/
Prince Rogers Nelson, the Grammy-winning pop star who died April 21,
loved music — and motorcycles.
Prince, 57, rode a customized 1981 Honda CM400 Hondamatic in Purple
Rain, his breakthrough movie of 1984. The bike, with its purple Craig
Vetter fairing, high handlebars and passenger seat with sissy bar,
became an icon of the film and was prominently featured on movie
posters and album covers.
For Prince, the Honda was a good choice for a motorcycle. It weighed a
little more than 400 lbs., even with the fairing, so it was easy to
control. The seat height was a low 30 inches, which made it easy for the
5-foot-2 Prince to mount and dismount.
And it was easy to ride because it didn’t have a clutch. The Hondamatic
was one of Honda’s first attempts at building automatic transmissions for
motorcycles. It wasn’t a true automatic, as in a car, nor did it have a
constant velocity throttle as on a scooter. Instead, it had a two-speed transmission with a torque converter.
All Prince needed to do was ease off the throttle and move the footshifter from neutral into low, then high gear.
No clutch was needed, so Honda replaced the clutch lever with a parking brake lever on the left handlebar grip.
The engine topped out at about 27 horsepower, tame by today’s standards. The bike had both an electric starter
and a kickstarter.
The Purple Rain bike would have looked something like this before it was
customized. (Photo: American Honda)
Depending whom you ask, two or three bikes were used for the film. One
belonged to Prince; the other, or others, were replicas used by stunt
riders for the more daring sequences. Next time you see Purple Rain,
watch the not-Lake Minnetonka scene and look closely at the
motorcycle tires — you’ll see how the tire changes from street to off-road
tread.
Prince kept his motorcycle and used it again in Graffiti Bridge, his 1990 sequel to Purple Rain. Prince again
played his character, The Kid. His bike retained its Vetter fairing, but was repainted black and some of its chrome
pieces were gold-plated. After Graffiti Bridge, the motorcycle was retired to his Paisley Park estate.
The Hondamatic line was not so lucky. Honda produced the 400cc version from 1978 to 1981. Other engine
sizes were offered in different years, but sales were poor, and Hondamatics were discontinued after 1983.
But whatever its color, the Purple Rain bike endures as a roadworthy icon of a landmark film and of Prince

DIY Project for Jeans
Sophie 'Cookie' Holbrook
Have any old motorcycle jeans that you will never wear again? Are they
too small or have too many wear spots? Why not create your own
"shabby chic" apron for cooking, gardening or even a tool belt. I had a
pair that were too small which were created in just a couple of hours. If
you do not have a sewing machine you can always create by hand with just a little basting. Since mine were too
small, I created the ties from the seam of the jeans.
If this is not your cup of tea, why not wear them (if they still fit) on your next multi-night motorcycle road trip such
as the "Wild, Wild, West Virginia" adventure and just toss them in the garbage. We did this last year on our
"riding the canyons" trip out West and had room for our "new treasures".

Ride to Work Day
This year the 25th annual Motorcycle and Scooter Ride to Work Day is
Monday, June 20th. Over a million workers will commute with their
motorcycles and scooters to demonstrate the societally positive benefits
of these vehicles. Studies have shown the public benefits of motorcycle and scooter
commuting include:
-- Providing increased numbers of parking spaces for everyone else,
because several fit in each space.
-- Consuming less resources per mile per commuter than automobiles.
-- Reducing traffic congestion and saving travel time for everyone.
-- Riders being more alert and engaged than drivers arriving at work via
automobile.. Motorcycle and scooter riders seek both government and employer support for riding’s broad benefits. Over 150
American cities have already proclaimed support for Ride to Work Day.
Ride to Work Day is a popular way to showcase this socially responsible (and enjoyable) form of utility
transportation.

World Class Riders Annual Club Picnic
Sunday, August 14th
Time to be Determined
As I am sure most of you already know, the Club Picnic is being held at The Valley Road Picnic Area at 48 Valley
Rd., in Titusville this year. Going back in time where the Hamilton HOG picnic was held! It’s going to be great
day so bring your family and friends to enjoy the festivities. A small guest fee will apply for non-members. There
will be bike and water balloon games and a tire toss to mention a few. Anyone have a tire? Did I mention prizes
for our winning competitors? So come and join us!
The Park is equipped with restrooms, grilling pavilion with electricity and running water, 25 covered picnic tables
and benches throughout the area. There are also volleyball, basketball courts and a quoits pit (bring your own
equipment). A great place to spend the day!
World Class Riders will be providing the staples for the day as in the past at Steve and Joanne Murza’s place.
Their past generosity in hosting this event was enjoyed and appreciated by all. We will truly miss them this year.
If you plan on attending, please feel free to bring your favorite/famous side dish or dessert along to share. We
have some fabulous cooks in our club. If you plan on bringing your own drinks, please no glass bottles.
We will be forming a volunteer committee to organize and help assist with the day’s activities. If everyone can
pitch in a bit, we can do this without a hitch! A sign up sheet will be at the June and July monthly meetings for all
of you wishing to pitch in. The following is a short list of things you can help with:
Shopping for Staple Goods (meats, plates, cups and napkins), Set Up, Clean Up, Provide Coolers, Ice, Transport
Food, Manning the Grills (in shifts, we don’t want one person working all day, it is a fun day) and Overseeing
Activities
Think about how you would like to help out for the next meeting and sign up. I’m sure we will have more than
enough volunteers to make this day fun for all. You Guys and Gals are the BEST!
Thanks to all that signed up to help out with the picnic at the May meeting! It’s not too late to sign up.

Be Prepared
American Motorcyclist June 2016
Replacement Cables: Imagine a cable failed you on a multi-day ride you've done. How long would it have
taken to locate a new one and have it shipped to you? You can be pretty sure in the first 40000 miles of your
motorcycle's life, it's unlikely a cable will fail. After that, it's anyone's guess. Go ahead and carry replacement
cables, but why not save the hassle and replace them all before the next riding season?
Ear Plugs: Wind buffeting begins to cause hearing damage within seven minutes while riding on the highway.
That's why it's a good idea, where it's legal, to install some ear plugs into your hearing cavities before each ride.
(Don't forget to remove them when the ride is over.) They come in all shapes and sizes. The lighter the better,
especially if you plan any off-road riding. Look for SPL (Sound Pressure Level) reductions of 32 decibels or
greater. The custom-formed ones only go to about 25 decibels and are noisy when bumping around on the bike.
Breaking in New Gear: When it comes to new gear, full-face helmets, leather attire and boots need time for
breaking in. Be sure to plan your purchases with a few short day rides to give the gear time to morph to your
shape before jetting off for a full 12-hour 50 plus mile journey.
Restock the First Aid Kid: Over-the-counter pain relievers, ointments and just about any solid or liquid you
might carry in your first aid kid that you would ingest or use on your skin has a shelf life. Make a date every
spring to go through your first-aid kit and replace what needs to be replaced for the riding season. Don't forget
items like skin moisturizer, tooth paste an sunscreen.
How To Ride Your Street Motorcycle in Gravel
Tips for riding in reduced traction situations
Tricia Szulewski, MSF Rider Coach
At some point in your street motorcycling life you’ll find yourself faced with riding in gravel. Roadside pullouts that
are not paved and road construction are the two most common scenarios where you’ll encounter loose rocks
and/or dirt and sand.
Another common gravel scenario (one where you could kick yourself for not asking about ahead of time)
happens when you've arrived at that cute B&B or lodge where you had planned to stay only to be faced with a
long, steep gravel driveway. Gravel happens. Street motorcyclists rarely choose to ride in gravel. You can choose to turn around, but that’s
not always an option. You need to be able to get through it in one piece. (Experienced rider tip: when making
lodging reservations, always ask if there is any gravel on which you must travel to get there.) Whether it’s gravel,
dirt, sand, grass, or any slick surface, the same rules apply. You want to minimize the motorcycle’s lean and
abstain from any sudden input such as braking, accelerating, or swerving.
I’ll say it again: Minimize the motorcycle’s lean and abstain from any sudden input such as braking,
accelerating, or swerving. When we lose traction, defined as the “grip of a tire on a road,” it’s easy to lose

control of the motorcycle. But don’t lose your head.
If your motorcycle is already in motion and you come up to a patch of gravel in the road, don’t panic. It’s best to
maintain the momentum the motorcycle already has and slow down gradually, with very light use of both brakes.
Your tires will slide easily, even on a light gravel surface, so if you brake too hard too fast you’ll likely produce a
skid, lose control of the motorcycle and you may go down.
When the road ahead promises miles of gravel, you can turn around and find another route, or you can use these
techniques to get through it. Physically:
Keep your arms and shoulders relaxed, and steer the bike without fighting against it.
Use a gradual throttle roll-on to accelerate and maintain a steady speed, which will most likely be a
reduced speed. Try not to stop, but if you have to, start out again by using very light, gradual acceleration,
so your tires don't spin out.
Keep the motorcycle as straight up as possible, that is minimize lean, which may mean taking wide turns
and using most of the road.
Keep as much distance between you and other vehicles as possible to allow yourself a lot of extra room
to gradually slow down to a stop.
Remember the rule that you go where you're looking, so avoid looking down. Stay focused on where you
want to ride to, but continually scanning near and far, checking the road surface conditions so you’re
aware of any big rocks or potholes to avoid. Looking far ahead will keep you heading in the right direction.
Remember to breathe slowly with controlled breaths to keep your body calm so you don’t tense up. WRN
Editor Genevieve Schmitt advises using a Pilates breath. “I’m a Pilates instructor so I’m always using my
'Pilates breath' to get me through tense situations calmly—like riding in gravel. Pilates breath is done by
breathing in through the nose, and out through the mouth. This kind of breathing is best for controlling
your breathing pattern so your body stays calm. The calmer you are, the more your mind will remember
what to do so your body can respond appropriately to move you through the gravel successfully.
Mentally:
Tell yourself you will get through this.
Listen to your inner voice. If you’re feeling confident then go for it. If the voice in your head says to turn
around and you can, then listen to it.
Don’t allow any negative thoughts to invade your brain like how bad it is to ride through gravel or that you
will fall. If you employ the above techniques, you’re likely to power right through and be celebrating that
you did so before you know it.
Seasoned street motorcycle riders know riding in gravel is inevitable. If you ride any long distances at all, you’ll
likely hit upon road construction where fresh gravel has been laid for future pavement. It’s not a matter of
avoidance, but a matter of learning to ride through it.
