“FRIENDS FOR FUN SAFETY AND KNOWLEDGE”
We all know the GWRRA Motto, “Friends for Fun,
Safety and Knowledge” but have you ever really
thought about what the words mean? Let‟s take
some time to dissect them and maybe understand a
little better why we‟re all here and continue to
participate in this association we call the “Gold Wing
Road Riders Association”.
Let‟s begin with “Friends for Fun”. We can all relate to that can‟t we! When we
get together with our GWRRA friends we definitely have lots of fun. In fact, I would
venture to guess that many of us put most of our effort and emphasis on the “Fun”.
After all, how many times have you heard, or even said yourself “When it stops
being fun, I‟m gone”. Thankfully few of us ever reach that point and I think it has a
lot to do with a phenomenon that takes place soon after we join and get involved
with GWRRA. We begin to think of the word “Friends” as “Family” and so many of
us hold family close to our hearts. Sure, we will have the occasional tiff now and
then like any family, but for the most part we all come together to take care of and
support each other in times of need. To Patty and me, this is one of the most
unique characteristics of this association.
Next we have “Friends for Safety and Knowledge”. As your friend and District
Director, this is where I want to address what I think is the most significant, yet
most taken for granted part of our Motto, “Safety and Knowledge”. I don‟t mean
that we ignore this aspect; rather I believe many of us tend to get a little lazy about
staying on top of our riding skills, thinking that we‟ve had “all that training we
need”. Realize that over half, in fact two thirds, of our Motto refers to safety and
knowledge and these two words relate directly to education. Continued education
gives us the ability to refresh our knowledge and sharpen our riding skills thereby
decreasing the risks of our sport. Secondly, our association holds a 501(C)4 “not
for profit” status with the IRS, with our primary tax exempt purpose being devoted
to social welfare as it relates to education and recreational purposes, but enough
of that mumbo jumbo.
Patty and I consider all of you our family and we care about each and every
one of you. Our wish is to keep all of you safe and want to see all of you at the
Washington District “Rider Education” workshop on February 20th in Buckley.
There are a lot of new classes this year, and back by popular demand, Tim
Bowman‟s “Long Distant Riding” class which has been expanded. Even if you
attended the short version of this class last October, you‟ll surely want to catch this
expanded version. This workshop is for you. Get out and enjoy a day with your
friends and learn something too. I actually learn something new every time I
attend this workshop. Go to the district website and print out the registration form,
fill it out and mail it today. We want to see you there. In fact, grab a friend and
bring them along. “Friends don‟t let Friends ride without proper gear and training”.

FEBRUARY - TIME FOR RIDER EDUCATION
Well, February is here and that means Rider Education Time. The Westside Rider
Education Workshop is coming up on the 20th at the Rainer Christian Fellowship
Church in Buckley, WA. This year‟s education seminars are looking to be
spectacular. These classes are designed for the membership, not exclusively for the
Chapter Rider Educators, and there is always some very good information contained in the different seminars. If you‟ve
never attended this event, I would highly recommend it and you should bring as many of your chapter members with you
as possible. Many chapters even pay the fee for this out of the chapter budget (you should ask your Chapter Educator or
Chapter Director), if you attend. I‟ve been to many of these and I always learn something new. Our motto in GWRRA is
„Friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge‟. Well, here you can get all three in one sitting!! Safety and Knowledge are the
keys to this one day event, but as a bonus, you get to do this with your friends. Heck, you may even make a new friend.
We hope to see you there.
Until Next Month… don‟t forget to say or do something nice for your sweetie for Valentine‟s Day!!

HI EVERYBODY
Well this last month could have been a lot better. Since my last article, one of our
own Chapter L members was in a serious accident. Phil LoParco is a very
experienced rider of many
years. He‟s a motorcycle
safety instructor with the
state. Phil went out for a short ride just before Christmas and
was involved in a head on collision with a mini-van. He made a
left turn in front of the van. Phil‟s bike was totaled and Phil was
air-lifted to Spokane and treated for a cracked vertebrae, bad
concussion, separated pelvis, and a hole in his bladder. He‟s
now home recovering and will have to wear a turtle shell brace
for the next 3 months. It just proves that no matter how good a
rider you are, it just takes one second to make a mistake.
Thank goodness that he was wearing proper riding gear,
including a full-face helmet. I‟ve never been a big fan of full-face helmets myself but I can tell you that if he‟d been
wearing anything less, he might not be with us today. Please everybody, ride safe this year.
I went to Chapter R‟s meeting again this month. I‟ve been trying to get someone to step up and take over the CD
position. John & Dee Maplethorpe are going to step down next month. So far I have a “maybe” from Jim Corn.
Diana and I will be leaving this Friday to attend Casino night so hope to see a lot of you there.

Q: What do you call an eternity?
A: Four blondes in four cars at a four-way stop.
A blonde went to buy a Pizza and after ordering, the assistant
asked her if she’d like her pizza cut into six pieces or twelve.
"Six please" she said, "I could never eat twelve!"

WEBSITE UPDATES
I‟ve been looking at many of the Chapter Websites, and they‟re looking very nice. It
takes a bit of work to keep them up to date and containing relevant information. If
your chapter has a webmaster, please take a couple of moments and thank them for
what they do.
In the digital age, the website is as important as making a phone call or sending an email to find out what‟s happening.
We often check many of the different websites to find out about events that we want to attend, and also, they give us a
good idea of the people in the chapter through the use of photos, articles, comments, blogs, etc.
With the district website, we‟re making changes that the members want, like a new Quick Links section on the front
page, and a calendar list view so you can look at a real calendar and then also get that information in a summary form.
Both of these great ideas came from the membership and were incorporated into the site. If you have something you‟d
like added or see something wrong, please drop an email to the webmaster at [email protected]. We‟ll get it
taken care of.
Until next month… keep on surfing!!

„TIS THE SEASON...
Here we are, almost to February! Seems like the New Year just began. Dan and I
missed most of the month of January as we were helping ourselves and friends deal
with the sudden loss of a dear friend in a motorcycle accident. Many others of us
have gone through the grieving process these past few months with multiple
tragedies in our extended families.
I found Melissa‟s editorial in WingWorld to be very interesting – about those new to our chapters and the good ideas
these folks come with, along with their enthusiasm to get in and make it happen. Nothing dampens enthusiasm quicker
than the things Melissa noted… Along the line of membership enhancement, we would like to give a reminder:
 While it's good to have chapter/group friends that you really 'click' with, it's not so good to narrow your social circle
down too much. Don't be too “exclusive” - everyone knows what it's like to be on the receiving end of this kind of
behavior and it doesn't tend to make one feel good about themselves in relation to the group at hand. Take a
chance, you can mix and match your ideas more easily than you might think.
 Sticking to the same social group can give you a pretty limited range of experience. Get out and meet some new
people, do something different. Doing the same old things with the same old people can get boring sometimes,
and can restrict you if you feel like asserting your individuality and trying a new activity.
 You can never have too many friends. It's great to have a good mix of people you can call on for different things.
Just think how you can broaden your horizons!
 It doesn't mean that you'll end up beyond your old friends. You'll have loads of new things to talk about when you
see one another, and maybe they'll even feel inspired.
Rally time isn‟t that far away – have you been encouraging your chapter couples to think about going on to the next
level of becoming District Couple of the Year? How may we help?
Riding season is just around the corner – take care and see you soon.

ESPECIALLY FOR CHAPTER TREASURERS
Did anyone else miss the month of January like we did? Where did the time go?
Chuck and I got out on a ride to Port Townsend with some friends a couple weekends ago. Felt really good to get out on the bike and get rid of some cabin fever!
Hope some of you have been able to get out for a ride also.
Year-end financials are almost all in. We‟d like to thank all Chapter Treasurers for their prompt attention to this. Now
you can all get busy on your own taxes! Ugh!
th
Hope to see a lot of you for the Rider Ed Workshop in Buckley this month on the 20 … looks like there are some
awesome classes.
This is the sweetest month of the year. Enjoy Valentine‟s Day with your sweethearts.

The following two articles are from Rider Education of New Jersey: http://www.rider-ed.com
THE SLOW RIDER IN A GROUP
After returning from Women in the Wind MC Winter Nationals, I am renewed with some ideas for Safety articles.
One of the topics that came up was what to do with a slow rider in a group. Several women had concerns about this
issue. With more and more women getting into motorcycling and WITW recruiting new members, this can be a
continual problem. Chapters will have many different levels of riders within their group. I've even spoken to some
members that told me that they have women in their chapters still on their permit.
As most of you know, I am a motorcycle safety instructor and I can tell you from experience that usually the
older the student, the slower the learning process. Not that they can't learn, but they are a lot more cautious
during the learning process. They know that it hurts to fall down. Older women seem to have an additional problem,
they lack confidence. These two factors make for a slow and cautious rider. Usually as confidence builds, so does
speed. But it takes time and about 3000 miles of riding.
I have a few suggestions for the slow rider. First, make sure you have a bike that you are comfortable with. A
bike that scares you is no good for you, but especially in the beginning. Then in the beginning of the riding season,
take a Beginner's Riding Course, even if you’ve taken it before. This will do a couple of things. If you are doing
anything incorrectly, you can straighten it out. You will get more practice turning, braking, cornering and swerving.
And since you already know how to ride, you’ll be the star pupil and that will build your confidence. My next
suggestion is to park your car somewhere and only ride your bike. Ride it everywhere. Ride it to work. Get some
good size saddlebags so you can grocery shop. You'll have to go more often but it can be done. Ride it in all kinds of
weather. Make sure you have the right kind of riding gear. Do this for the whole riding season. Pretend you don't
have a car. If you can, take a road trip. At the end of the riding season, go back and take an Experienced Rider's
Course.
Motorcycling is an expensive hobby/lifestyle. You have to have a good running bike with great tires. You need
proper gear. You need storage on your bike to carry a rain suit, tools and other essentials. If one of our kids
wanted to take up skiing or some other sport, we’d come up with the money to get them the gear they need. We
tend to short cut on ourselves, and you really can't if you are serious about riding.
Now for those of you riding with the slow riders… It is not safe to push someone beyond their limits. But in
group riding, a slow rider can be a serious hazard. Most times they’ll tell you to go ahead, and they’ll catch up with
you. You can have one rider stay with the slow rider or you can have one rider leave earlier with the slow rider. Let
them take an easier route if possible. Have them take the Interstate, while you take the back roads with all the
curves. The slow rider will eventually get their speed up if they are out there practicing. If they aren't out there
Page 4 of 9
practicing, then maybe they really aren't serious about riding. When someone is really scared to ride, they have to
decide if they really want to do this or not. They have to decide for themselves because it takes some really hard
work to become a good rider. And you must be a good rider to survive out there.
Please don't think I am picking on women riders in this article. I was 38 when I started riding and I was the
world's worst. Right after I got my license I took a cross-country trip that I never went over 45MPH. It took me 3
weeks to get [from New Jersey] to the West Coast.
Keep in mind that when you get one rider up to speed in your group, someone else will join that needs your help.
And in my mind, that’s the way you can give something back to the sport - helping the newbies get on the road.
Ride Safe!
KEEPING WARM
There is always a wind chill factor when riding a motorcycle. In the summer, it usually feels good. But when it’s cold
out, it can chill you to the bone. Hypothermia can set in and you will be unable to react quickly enough to hazardous
situations. Plan ahead as much as possible. Plan your mileage and destination. Stop more frequently. Get some warm
coffee or soup during your stops. Don’t let your body get cold to the core. Your extremities will start to go first.
Your hands and feet will not operate the brakes, clutch and gearshift lever properly. You may not be able to feel
them. Hypothermia can be a nasty thing. Once you get that cold, the only thing that will warm you up is a hot
shower or bath.
Luckily there are a lot of great fabrics and equipment available for staying warm. What you want to do is
eliminate the wind. Be sure the items you buy are made out of a fabric that does that. Leather, Gortex and polar
fleece are all windproof. Thermals are useless without the windbreaker on the outside. Wear enough layers. Always
carry extra layers in case it gets colder. Be sure you have some extra room to pack away your heavy clothes if it
warms up during the ride. Leather chaps are an excellent investment. I like polar fleece when I’m layering my
clothing. It’s light enough to pack and really warm. You can find large selections of polar fleece in camp stores and
catalogs. They make jackets, pants, socks, and hats in polar fleece. In a pinch, you can put on your rain suit; it will
break the wind and keep some of the heat inside. And if you’re caught without anything, buy a newspaper and stuff
it down your sleeves and pants. It’s better than freezing to death. There are glove liners, gloves with Thinsulate,
and electric gloves available. You can also get electric socks and heavy winter boots with liners. If you’re wearing
liners or extra socks, be sure to get boots a little larger than usual. Full face helmets are warmer then open faced
helmets. Polar fleece hats or a balaclava helps too. Don’t forget your neck - wear a scarf or one of those warm neck
triangles. Anywhere that air can get in needs to be plugged up. Electric vest, jackets, pants and gloves are the way
to go when you are going to do any serious riding in the winter. They hook to your battery and really provide you
with heat. Check them all out before buying. Some come with a lifetime guarantee on the electrical components.
Some are washable. If you buy one that uses fuses, be sure to keep some extra fuses in a spot you can get to
easily.
Your tires have less traction when they’re cold and they’re cold for the first several miles that you ride. Always
check your air pressure and tread -- good tires are a must. Make sure you have a good battery, too. If you wear
contacts, they do freeze and are very hard to wear in cold. Wear your glasses on those days.
When it starts to snow and you’re still out there, there are a few other things to watch out for. Watch out for the
other road users. Many of them are inexperienced on slippery surfaces. Bridges do freeze first and stay frozen
longer. They’ll be slick. If the other road users are sliding around on the bridges, that is definitely going to affect
you. You may say now that you won’t be riding in the cold, but you never know. The first time I rode in the cold was
to a friend’s funeral. He died in the middle of the winter and he wanted a biker’s funeral. I almost froze to death
myself because I didn’t have the right gear. But over the years I’ve added to my collection of winter riding gear
and try to get the bike out for a ride whenever there is no snow or ice on the road. Maybe I’ll see you out there!

WHAT DO YOU COMMUNICATE?
You know that your newsletter, like emails or a
phone-tree, lets your members know what’s
happening in your chapter. And also that it has a
much wider audience when it’s posted on your
website. But have you considered that your
newsletter gives the outside world a more
personal view of both what’s going on and what’s
important to your members? We’re talking here
about communicating with potential members and
with members who thinking about relocating or
visiting in your area. Will they get a true picture
of your chapter?
It’s become common to use the internet for
information-gathering, and so we try to “put our
best foot forward” with the look and content of
our websites. Do our newsletters reinforce the
images we’ve created or undermine them?
Think about what a newsletter can say to an
outsider. If the current newsletter is 8 months
old, is the chapter not active? What if it’s filled
with spelling and grammar errors... that they
don’t care or won’t take the time to do it right?
And what if it’s filled with relevant, timely,
thought-provoking and humorous articles about
chapter happenings and rider safety? If this
were my introduction to the chapter, it would
say that here’s an active group of riders I’d like
to spend time with. Does your newsletter paint
a fair picture of the warm, fun, safety-conscious
members in your chapter?
Granted, the first priority of the newsletter
is to communicate with your existing chapter
members, but what a great opportunity to give a
good first impression to those who haven’t met
them yet!! So, please, do take a look at what
your newsletter is telling outsiders about your
chapter and make sure it’s what you mean to say.
