Shawnee Honda and Chapter OK-B Cookout
Each month our Chapter joins in with our major sponsor, Shawnee Honda, in their
Customer Appreciation Day. As members of Chapter OK-B, you are aware that Shawnee
Honda’s owners and employees provide to the public a lunch of Hamburgers and Hotdogs
w/drinks on the last Saturday of each month to say thank you to all that patronize and visit
their business in Shawnee. I’m sure they realize that providing this service to their
customers is just good business. This service that Shawnee Honda provides is also a great
opportunity for our Chapter to be “seen and heard” in presenting the story of the GWRRA to
the motorcycling public. And of course we want to take full advantage of the opportunity to
strengthen our Chapter with new members.
The Goldwing Road Riders Association is a volunteer organization when it comes to all the
events we participate in. One of our monthly events is the Shawnee Honda Cookout and
Recruiting Event. Our chapter has volunteered to assist Shawnee Honda each month by
cooking the hamburgers and hotdogs, and serving the customers that come by for lunch. Our
members are some of Shawnee Honda’s best customers and enjoy all the fun that comes along
with the assistance they provide. The guys usually do all the cooking. The fellowship and
greeting of customers is lots of Fun. The gals also enjoy their time doing most of the serving,
prep work, and cleanup afterwards. Occasionally your might find a guy in the kitchen area
doing some of those chores. They all have big smiles and friendly conversation for the visitors
that come thought the serving line. We always have information and recruiting material set
up with a friendly face to explain any questions that customers and visitors may have about
Chapter OK-B and the GWRRA. Along with our Chapter banner, which is proudly displayed,
is our Mascot and yearly Scrapbook. Several times a year our chapter has a bake sell of cookies and cupcakes to raise money for our charitable organizations, to include the chapter’s
support of the Hope House in Shawnee.
As the Chapter Director, it is plain to see that our members enjoy coming to Shawnee
Honda each month, just as much as Shawnee Honda enjoys having us there. We would like to
say “Thank You” to Randy, Jason, and all the Shawnee Honda employees that have included
our chapter in their day of Appreciation for their Customers. We enjoy the time that we spend
there each month. And to the great members of Chapter OK-B, Thank You for all that you do
for our chapter and volunteer time that you give each month. I truly believe that both
organizations benefit from this monthly gathering of “Friends for Fun, Safety, and
Knowledge.”

A Message from Your Director
Carol and I really believe that November is the beginning of the Greatest Time of the
Year! During late fall the changing foliage, cooler weather, and upcoming holidays gives us a
warm feeling deep inside. Late fall is a beautiful time of the seasons. And of course it’s a
wonderful time to ride bikes and trikes! Our Chapter is rescheduling our trip to the
Woolaroc Museum & Wildlife Preserve, in north central Oklahoma. The new date is November 1st. Same time and places of interest. We know the days are shorter so we may adjust the
departure and return times to stay in the daylight hours. See the November calendar. We
are looking at a Talimena Drive to Mena, AR and an overnight ride in early November also.
These are just a couple of rides that are planned in November.
November is a busy month for all of us, whether it be for Chapter Events or personal
events. Starting with November 4th, which is Election Day in our country. Not voting is not
an opinion! The only vote that doesn’t count is the one not cast! Please exercise your rights
and vote!
Remember that on November 11th we honor our military veterans and all the individuals
who gave their life to preserve this country’s right to remain free. Please join your local
community in honoring those who have given so much for our country. Carol and I will be
attending ceremonies in Chandler that honor our veterans. God Bless Our Veterans!
Along with all our regular dinner rides, monthly gathering, and cookout there is a special
day for a personal family gathering. Thanksgiving Day is November 27th. Carol and I have
always shared Thanksgiving with our families. Thanksgiving has always been at my
mother’s home in El Reno. We spend the day with our family w/kids, my brother’s family w/
kids, Dad and Mom, her sisters, brothers, and their families, aunts, uncles, and cousins, so
many wonderful family members. For years it was always a full madhouse. But we wouldn’t
have had it any other way. Family was always “Thanksgiving” and “Thanksgiving” is always family. Time has changed our family, fewer and fewer each year, until there is just a
small group of our family that once was. Still we gather each year and give thanks for our
blessings and family. I’m sure your family is much the same.
But the ability to give to those that are down and in need of a helping hand is a blessing
in its self. Most of our communities and churches participate in feeding and clothing programs for the needy. Volunteering is a great way to give back to the communities that have
been so good to us. Monetary donations are another great way to give to the needy through
communities and churches. Anything you can do to help will always be greatly appreciated.
Please support your community and churches. especially during this time of the year.
Carol and I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends. And
for our Chapter, we will have a “Thanksgiving”
November to remember, with “Friends for Fun, Safety,
and Knowledge.”
Thank You for Supporting Your Chapter!

A message from your Assistant Chapter Director(s)
Jim & Linda Foshee
GWRRA is an International Association of Gold Wing and Valkyrie
motorcycle riders.
GWRRA is an informal educational, social organization of proud, unique and special
people—Gold Wing Owners. Owners of other brands of motorcycle owners are accepted as
associate members.
It was formed for people with whom we can exchange ideas, share safety information
relating to motorcycling and motorcyclists educate the non-motorcycling public concerning
motorcycling problems and participate in impromptu rides. In addition, it supports the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) and assists all motorcyclists in achieving and/or
improving public acceptance of motorcyclists.
GWRRA is a family-oriented organization, without political or religious affiliations or
influence and supports civic, local, police, charity, and government organizations.
GWRRA publishes and distributes Wing World and other media that will inform, educate,
entertain and enlighten our Members and Officers.
All that said, it all boils down to good people wanting to have fun with their motorcycle. The
most important item in a Chapter, is you, the members. We will get out, what we put in.
The chapter is all about you, and having fun. If you have a question, or a suggestion, step
right up and speak up. We, as officers of the chapter, are eager for your help and
suggestions. Got a new place to eat? Found a new neat place to ride to? Just want to go on
a group ride? Our rides and activities are not limited just to our Thursday night dinner
rides. It can be a spur of the moment idea for a neat ride.
Send out an e-mail and probably as likely as not, there will
be some members that would like to take the ride with you.
Fall is here, the leaves are changing, the weather is great,
and there are places just calling our name. Come on down.
Fun awaits.

A note from your 2014 Chapter Couple of the Year
Smitty and Kay Smith
Chapter B couple of the Year 2014
The weather outside is beautiful and the riding has been
great. This fall has been the best for riding and being with our fellow Chapter B members
and other riders too. We show our pride and joy of being with our friends. As the Chapter
members in their gold shirts and black vests walked into LaDonna’s Grill, we were greeted
with looks of awe by the other patrons. It was fun to see them smile and then stand up and
look at the bikes and trikes outside. I love to go to the different businesses and show off our
Chapter Pride. It brings a smile every time. When we leave the place the fellow patrons
know we had a great time There is much laughter and that shows we are a fun loving group
of friends. I love seeing all the gold shirts sitting together at these events. It makes me
proud to be a part of it. We wear our Chapter Couple of the Year medallions and Chapter
shirts, and Smitty wears his signature “bowler” to add to the pride of the Chapter.
So, keep up the pride and wear your chapter shirts and GWRRA vests and keep those smiles
coming our way. We look forward to seeing all of you again on our next ride.
Thank you
Chapter B!

Stay Safe and Wear
All the Gear All the Time
Kay Smith,
Chapter B Rider Educator
If you are going to ride at night, you are going to face the headlights of oncoming vehicles.
Riding at night presents a challenge just because of the lack of light; but then when another
vehicle approaches, the challenge increases. Suddenly your view of the road and surrounding
areas get even worse as those offending headlights cause your eyes to adjust to their
brightness. You could almost see the road before, now you can’t see it at all! It gets even worse
if the oncoming vehicle’s lights are not adjusted properly, or if the high beams are on. It takes a
good few seconds for your eyes to readjust after being blasted by those headlights, plenty of
time for your path of travel to become, shall we say, errant. You probably won’t be headed
toward the oncoming vehicle, but you may be unintentionally headed for the side of the road.
Older riders have a bigger problem with this than younger ones. So do riders who are fatigued,
or are not sober. We can’t make this problem go away (unless we NEVER ride at night), but we
can mitigate it. Here are some ideas:
Let’s start out with some obvious things: be refreshed, alert and sober. Wear clean,
non-tinted eye protection. Choose a lower speed for night travel. Make sure your headlights are
working and adjusted properly.
Here are some tips that are not so obvious:
Before you get on your bike at night, spend a few minutes in the dark in order to allow your
eyes to adjust to the darkness. Once you are riding, and an oncoming vehicle approaches, focus
your vision toward the right side of the road, perhaps on that white line that often defines the
edge of the roadway, until the oncoming vehicle passes you, and then refocus your vision to the
road ahead.
As always, be alert all the time. It is too easy to get comfortable an “zone out” while enjoying
the ride. Also, remember when riding, “no skin below the chin” (helmet, eye protection, FULL
fingered gloves, long sleeve shirt/jacket, long pants and sturdy OVER the ankle foot wear).
Ride safe!

A message from your
Motorist Awareness
Program Coordinator,
Kay Smith
By Stacey “Az” Azmaker
I ride, and those who know me know I ride. They also know that is not about to change. And,
for whatever reason, those who care about me—my fiancé, family, friends, and co-workers—
want me to come home from each and every ride safely. (I guess there’s no accounting for taste)
We make riding choices every time we throw a leg over. My choices about when, where, and
how I ride are influenced by how much I care for the people in my life. To be perfectly honest, I
want to come home from each ride safely too, but it’s more than that. They don’t want to lose
me, and I don’t want to leave them.
Who do you have in your life that wants you to come home? Your kids? Your wife or husband?
Your brothers and sisters? Your parents? Your friends?
I am free to decide how I’ll ride; not because the government tells me to; not because my
riding buddies tell me to; but because I choose to. For me, and for the ones I care about, I choose:
To ride sober
To ride within my own limits (skill, judgement, fatigue, etc)
To keep my riding skills sharp (take training, practice)
To dress for comfort, visibility, and protection
To wear gear that protects my body, my hands, my feet, my eyes, and my head
To get my eyes up and look well down the road and all the way through my turns
Your choices are up to you and no one else. It is our New Year’s Wish that all of you come home
safely from each and every ride to the ones who love you. Honor them with your choices. To
them, your life and health are the gifts that keep on giving.
Ride safe. Share the Road, Look Twice and Save a Life.

What is GWRRA?
That’s what outside people say.
Here’s how I’d tell of our organization
without a detailed explanation.
If you like to be with friends

Our weekly rides can’t be beat.
Monthly we gather, hug and greet,
cover agendas, and again, we eat.
We’re taught safety rules to heed,
play games, discuss the items we need.
Rallies/Conventions offer rides galore
with games and light parades and more
Seminars increase our education
and rides to a mystery destination
We like to learn while having fun
There are programs here for everyone
Offering rewards and competition.
Choose what fits your own ambition.
Does this explain some things we do?

Please
remember to thank the
veterans regularly for what they
have done for our country but

No Corn Syrup Pecan Pie
Don't like a gummy pecan pie that you think is going to pull
the fillings out of your teeth? Well, this is the one for you!
Rich and creamy.
Serving Size: 6 to 8 or maybe 3 to 4
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients:
1. 1/2 cup white sugar (Splenda)
2. 1/2 stick unsalted butter, melted
3. 1-1/2 cups light brown sugar (Splenda brown sugar can be used but only use ½ the
amount if Splenda is used)
4. Pinch of salt
5. 2 T. sifted AP flour
6. 3 whole eggs, beaten
7. 1/2 cup half n' half
8. 1 cup pecans, either whole or broken (I like the broken because it's easier to cut the pie.)
9. Single 9-inch pie crust, unbaked
Instructions:
10. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
11. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Add the sugars, salt, flour and half n' half and beat until
well blended.
12. Stir in the melted butter and pecans and mix well.
13. Pour the mixture into your prepared 9-inch pie shell and bake until the filling is cooked
but still soft in the middle when you give it a little wiggle, about 45 to 60 minutes depending
on your oven.
14. Cool pie on a rack, chill, cut, eat and enjoy!

GOLD WING ROAD RIDERS ASSOCIATION—NEWS!!!
Reno Rendezvous,
June 18-20, 2015
A different kind of event for GWRRA!
http://renorendezvous.org
SPECIAL SPEAKER ANNOUNCED FOR RENO RENDEZVOUS:
CHRIS BALDWIN: PRESIDENT OF WOMEN ON WHEELS
Chris took her first ride on a mini-bike at the age seen on her family’s dairy farm in Alma,
Wisconsin, and still enjoys the sport of motorcycling 45 years and almost a half million miles
later.
She is currently serving her fifth term as President of Women on Wheels® (2009, 2010, 2011,
2013, 2014) and her third three-year term on WOW’s Board of Trustees (2006-2008, 2009-2011,
2013-2015). Prior to her service on the Board, she co-founded the Heartland (St. Louis) Chapter
of Women on Wheels® , served as the Chapter’s first Director, and served both as Missouri’s
Assistant State and State Ambassador.
Chris also serves as Vice Chair of the Women’s Coalition of Motorcyclists. The Coalition’s
mission is to double the number of female participant in all disciplines of motorcycling (road/
track/dirt) by 2020.
Her motorcycling philosophy can be summed up in six words:
“Ride safe. Ride proud. Ride often.”

Directors-GWRRA
KUDOS TO OUR CHAPTER DIRECTORS
As Sandi and I visit various conventions around the country and read all of the many newsletters we
receive, we are constantly reminded how much we owe our incredible Chapter Directors.
Here is the "short List"of "Thank Yous":
For entertaining the troops, making our Chapter gatherings FUN and entertaining for all of us.
For leading our Chapter core team in providing our Members lots of fun events, both riding
and socially.
For helping to deliver to our doorstep all of the many learning opportunities that GWRRA has
developed both with live Seminars and online.
For inviting all of our Members to all of our rides, social events, conventions, etc. no matter
whether they ride or on 2 , 3 or 4 wheels.
Making sure that we welcome all riders to our gatherings and events, no matter what brand of
bike or trike they ride.
For helping to educate us on all of the many benefits that are included in our membership in
GWRRA.
For allowing all of our Members the opportunity to step up and volunteer for any position open
in the Chapter Staff.
For setting the example in Rider Education: Riding with proper gear and helping to remind us
that our riding skills are "perishable" and need to be practiced often, whether on a bike or
trike.
For sharing with us the fabulous experiences available to all of us in the Couple Of the Year
program and feeling the pride in the Chapter.
For enriching our "Chapter Life" and helping us to know each other better while experiencing
the many enjoyable facets of our membership in GWRRA.
WOW, this was only a "short list". We are so fortunate to have so many wonderful Chapter Directors
throughout our Association. Have you thanked yours lately?
Have FUN, go for a ride soon, C+BCN
