Another Great Event!

As we reflected at the marvels of our 2002 Fun Run we couldn’thelp but think back to Fun Runs past. We have progressed so farin a short time and we can only go up from here. How can that be

you ask? Well, we thought we were great before and we topped that, so imagine whatwe can do next!?!

That being said, Larry and Marianne need halo’s to wear for a while, what blessingsthey have been to the chapter with their dedication to making our Fun Runs very classyevents! From the bottom of our hearts, JR and I thank you so very much!!! You havemade the job so much easier for someone to pick up and run with with all the systemsyou have put in place. We will always be grateful to you for setting the standards. Thiswas a fantastic Fun Run! The sky was threatening, but Rick had done his “lack of” raindance and it was working, for a while. The set up went without a hitch. As we opened forbusiness, we got a bit of a sprits but nothing major. The registration team of the Kings,Websters and Suzanne handled the crowds and whisked them off to 50/25/25 whereElma and Jo stood ready. Steve and crew did a wonderful job with coffee, juice, donutsand bagels. Our checkpoint gang, Risks, Mike Mills and Leo had spinners blazing, andCrystal and Craig were getting the door prizes organized. The vendors always add anice touch and with E-Cycles open, we had a full compliment for the rider and co-rider!We were ready for a great day and a great day we got! Even the down pour didn’tdampen our spirits…much, although the rain sure made Shelly’s make up a mess, or wasit already that way!?! As always, Nevada Chapter A came out in mass, 42 membersjoined us, largest participating GWRRA chapter and we love them! We heard greatcompliments from the participants about the ride and of course about KFC. KFC inPoway has been a great partner in our event for several years now. Our door prizeswere top notch, thanks to many of you, particularly Patrick with procuring a leather jacketand a $200 gift certificate from House of Motorcycles, Crystal with the tires from JBJ andMarianne with here dynamite letter! This is truly a group effort and our dedication wasshining!

We had about 270 participants this year and that helps us support Casa deAmparo. The girls were great, even when we embarrassed them, thanks Angel for bring-ing them, we were delighted to be able to touch their lives. The Cher tickets giveaway,thanks to Bud and Noel Brennen for donating those 3 tickets, was a success! We soldall 100 tickets, we’ll have to get a report back from the winners about the concert. Steveand committee you did a great job! The costumes are always a highlight of the event. Iloved Barbara in her saloon get up, and Heidi as Ms. Hooker, and those legs on Rick,what a sexy gladiator! Ray King, who won best costume for the chapter, was great as thebroken down Harley rider, but he almost looked too realistic, was this a reenactment fromearlier days? JR was a great Uncle Sam and who could forget the hicks from the LaMesa sticks? Wasn’t Larry the cutest in those hot red long-johns? Marianne looked likeshe just fit that hat with her pigtails. From the visiting chapters, the “Butts” were hysteri-cal! I wasn’t sure if I should look at Del Britton’s ears or his butt, and Joanne’s blue hairand sexy glasses were second to her butt with the tattoo! Del and Joanne are the ACD’sfor CA1-M and we awarded them with the best costumes from other chapters.

All in all, we had a great event that concluded with 89 friends at Hamburger Factoryfor dinner. We so look forward to next year and thank you all for supporting this fantasticchapter and our Halloween Fun Run!

Mike’s Safety Tip of the Month:

Remember, “My safety is your responsibility!”

As the holiday’s get closer, the driver’s get crazier. Take extra care andwatch for folks on a “mission” – they’re only focused on an event, notthe other vehicles on the road.

What’s in your left faring pocket? Lint, tapes, candy,gum, and kleenex? There’s something missing if that’sall you have tucked away in there. So, what is missing?Let me give you a hint – it’s 81/2 by 11 form with im-

portant information about you and your co-rider. That’s right, it’s the EMER-GENCY INFORMATION SHEET. You should have one for yourself and one foryour co-rider folded in a plastic bag as well as carry an emergency card in yourpocket or wallet. This sheet is elsewhere in the newsletter. You can also get apocket-sized card from Doug Frizzell, who can also laminate it for you. Just askhim for one. Additionally, you can download the form directly from the followingwebsite:

www.rider-ed.gwrra-regionf.org/Natl_emergency.doc

The recent illnesses of a few of our chapter members brings the realityof needing ready access to this type of information to the forefront. Havingmultiple copies on you and your bike can insure that this information can belocated in an emergency. You don’t need to be in an accident for others toneed to access this information. It is especially important to keep this informa-tion current. All of us should revise our emergency information at least once ayear. More often if needed.

Hopefully, none of us will ever need to use this information when we’re ona ride but each of us needs to be a responsible rider. That being said, it’s timeto talk about the activities for the rest of the year.

By the time this is printed, our 2002 Fun Run will be history. Larry andMarianne, thank you for all your hard work. It was a spectacular event onceagain. The best part is that we will be making kid’s lives a bit brighter by ourdonation to Casa de Amparo.

Our next event is traveling to Sierra Vista for the Arizona District Rally.Mike and I hope to see many of you there. It will be a great trip and allow us toreturn the support we get from the Arizona folks. Then, right after Thanksgiving,it’s time for the annual Toys for Tot’s ride. Christmas, Hanukkah, and Kwanzawill follow shortly thereafter. It’s hard to believe. I guess the saying, “Time flieswhen you’re having fun” really is true.

Membership retention is a fancy term that describes what happens when all of usare living the GWRRA Motto. That Motto is Friends for Fun, Safety andKnowledge. People return to chapter gatherings when they are warmly acceptedat GWRRA functions primarily chapter gatherings.

The worst thing that can develop within a chapter are groups of members thatbecome so close that they don’t recognize new people and welcome these newpeople. We all enjoy our old friends but we must remember what it was likewhen you attended your first meeting, rally or other gathering.

The officers and staff of chapters are not the only members responsible forgreeting and welcoming new members. In fact they may not have the time whenthe new person arrives and the members they have asked to be their welcomingmembers may not be available. This is the time for other members to be wel-coming that new person.

Each District in Region F has a goal of 7% membership growth. At this time ourCalifornia District is 161 members short of this goal. Recruiting new membersisn’t the problem. The problem is there are many members that are not renewingtheir membership. The one reason for not renewing that we all have some controlover is people not feeling welcome at gatherings.

GWRRA in California is a FAMILY of FRIENDS. Pat and I felt that friendshipwhen we attended our first District Rally in San Jose several years ago and that iswhat started us looking for a chapter to join. Chapters are the life’s blood of ourorganization and there are large areas in California without chapters. We will helpinterested members start new chapters when enough members are willing to forma chapter.

California Wingers are Pure Gold!Jim & Pat Moynagh

Attendance Reward

We have a new contest all those attending a event on the activity calendar will receive a point foreach activity attended both for Rider and Co-Rider. At the end of the year the high point total forattendance will receive $50.00 cold hard cash or a gift certificate to a safety chrome store to be

named later. In case of tie each will receive $25.00. In case of more than two winners a drawing willbe held to determine the two winners. $25.00 each. See, now ya don’t have to ask me how baby.

Whats a nice person like you doing in a group like this?

Why are we a part of Chapter CA-1F and furthermore why are we a part ofGWRRA? Is it because we like to eat? That’s what we do isn’t it? Well notexactly. Is it because we like to ride? That’s what we do isn’t it? Well Yes butthen there is more than that isn’t there? Is it because of the long distance over-night trips that we make? Maybe but I hope it is more than that. What is the rea-son that a nice person like you is a member of GWRRA and more specificallyChapter CA-1F? GWRRA and this chapter in particularly is filled with nicepeople and good friends, friends that will open their hearts to you if needed andmaybe even when you don’t need it but just want to go ride with someone whoyou know is dedicated to the principle of “Friends for Fun, Safety and Educa-tion.”

We share the road with a lot of different motorcycles and a lot of differentvehicles including some that are very intimidating at times. There is a lot ofmisconceptions about who you are and what you ride. There is even a prevailingtheory that Goldwingers are snobs. Now we all know that that is not true, but howoften have you seen another bike in a parking lot or at a resturant and not spo-ken to them about what we do. I don’t think that many groups offer the educationand safety programs that we do. There are advantages and disadvantages toevery group and we are no exception. What makes Candy and I members ofGWRRA and CA-1F is not the same thing that will make Dan Dresser want tojoin, We offer so much to members from classes on just about everything thatgoes along with motorscooter ridin to Towbusters, Rally’s, Day rides, Drive inMovies, Progressive dining experiences, Dinner rides, Parking Lot Practices.Recognition of Achievments, Community Service, etc, etc, etc.

It may be all of these things it may be none of them that will sway someoneto join our group, and we are not everyones cup of tea but even if they are nottea drinkers they deserve the opportunity to know that we are nice people andwhat it is that we do. The fact that someone rides a different model or flavor oftwo wheeler should not be cause for intimidation and slam’m. There is certainlyenough activities for one to pick and choose what fills their gas tank. Let us allspread the word that we are nice people and that we practice what we preach“Friends for Fun, Safety and Education”. Remember the old saying “if you buildit they will come”. It is built but unless you tell them about it, they won’t knowabout it. So tell it like it is and they will come and our ranks will swell with nicepeople that like to do the same things that we do. Friends for Fun Safety andEducation. That is what we do.

Motorcycle Tips and TechniquesBy James R. Davis

http://www.msgroup.org/TIPS.asp

Tire Pressure

As we are now into the colder months of the year I thought it ap-propriate to post a reminder about tire pressures and the effect oftemperature on same.

Stamped on the outside of many of your tires is a recom-mended tire pressure range. (At least an upper limit.) For longesttire life it is my recommendation that you strive to keep them atthe higher limit of those recommendations (regardless of what yourmotorcycle owner’s manual might say to the contrary.) Further,this pressure should be determined while the tires are cold - mean-ing, have not been used for a couple of hours.

Time and outside temperature effect the pressure within yourtires. It is NORMAL for a tire to lose about 1 pound per squareinch (psi) per month. Outside temperatures affect your tire pres-sure far more profoundly, however. A tire’s pressure can changeby 1 psi for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit of temperature change.As temperature goes, so goes pressure.

For example, if a tire is found to have 38 psi on an 80-degreemid-summer day, it could lose enough air to have an inflation pres-sure of 26 psi on a 20-degree day six months later. This representsa loss of 6 psi over six months and an additional loss of 6 psi dueto the 60 degree temperature reduction.

At 26 psi, your tire is severely under inflated and dangerous!There is nothing wrong with your tire if it behaves like this, ofcourse. What is being illustrated here is that you MUST checkyour tire pressure on a regular basis (about once a week is reason-able) and to be particularly aware of it on cold days.

Our goal was toget as far away from San Diego as possibleand our first night was spent in Santa Nella.The next day we picked up Hwy. 101. Latethat afternoon the four of us arrived inGarberville (Humbolt County) where we hada very unexpected and delightful gourmet dinner to celebrate the 4th of July.Some children who were staying in our motel provided the fireworks for us thatevening.

As we left Garberville, our surroundings became much more interesting andexciting. A side trip down “The Avenue of the Giants” convinced us that the red-woods did indeed tower over everything. By the time we reached Lincoln City,Oregon that evening we were one full day ahead of schedule. The next morning,we were saddened to learn that a small plane had crashed on a near by beach.Needless to say, traffic was awful for a while. However, we ventured on and foundourselves looking for a place to eat in the town of Seaside. Hubby was leadingand noticed that a police car was parked in front of one of the local restaurants.As he put it, “If the police eat here, the food must be pretty good!” As we enteredthe building, we realized that the police were talking with the cook (or maybe ar-resting him) rather than having lunch. Talk to one of us for more details about thisestablishment. Let it suffice to say that it would never pass muster as a dinnerride location for many reasons.

By nightfall we had made it to Forks, Washington which is on the edge ofthe rainforest. Mosquitoes were quite abundant and sent us off to Port Angelesthe next day with several reminders of their presence. As we drove through Olym-pic National Park a Bald Eagle plucked a fish out of the lake in front of us andseveral deer greeted us as well. At Port Angeles we boarded the ferry for a 90-minute trip to Vancouver Island. We were amazed as they loaded 500 vehicles,including semi’s and buses, on to it. Unfortunately, their policy was for motor-cycles to load last and exit last. Love all that exhaust!

Once we were on the island, we began to make our way north to Nanaimo tospend the night. On the way, a group of GWTA members returning from a rideflagged us down. They directed us into a parking lot where we had a long visit

23

before continuing on. They were wonderful and wanted to be certain we knewhow to get to our hotel. Our next stop was for dinner at a White Spot Restaurant inNanaimo. The manager welcomed us to Canada and spent a great deal of timediscussing the local sights. He turned out to be an ex-tour director and a wonder-ful resource and even gave us some free tickets to Craigdarroch Castle. In fact,everyone we encountered in Canada was most welcoming and helpful – quite achange from the way many folks treat visitors here in the states.

In the morning we headed up the coast toward Campbell River but didn’tget too far because of the threat of serious rain. Then we decided to follow arecommendation to go up Mt. Washington to check out the “great view” of theisland. The road was disillusioning because it went straight up and had notwisties. Within a matter of yards, we were in some heavy-duty fog and couldbarely see each other. Needless to say it was time to turn around and headanother direction. Unfortunately, the fog was so thick that Doug almost got hit ashe turned left out of the viewpoint parking lot. That really shook all of us. Oncewe made it back to flat land, we decided to visit Cumberland, an old coal-miningtown that had been primarily populated by Japanese miners. The history wasmore interesting than the town, which was largely abandoned.

Victoria was to be our home for the next few nights so after we settled in acall was placed to the CD of Chapter V to arrange a time to meet. Then Jo and Idecided to do laundry and met a guy from Vista in the laundry room. Unfortu-nately, he fit the stereotypical description of the “ugly American” which was trulyembarrassing for us. The next day we headed off to see the Craigdarroch Castle(very impressive!) and the Government House Gardens (great roses!), followedby lunch wharf-side in downtown Victoria and shopping on Government Street.

When we returned to the hotel, a message was waiting for us from JimCarson, the CD of Chapter V, wanting to know if we’d like to meet a group fordinner. We met Jim & 12 more chapter members at the Princess Mary Restau-rant, their monthly meeting site. Following the wonderful dinner, we were taken ona twilight tour of Victoria which included a trip up their version of Mt. Soledad andended in downtown Victoria to see the Parliament building which was outlined withlights. What a great group to sightsee with!!! Before saying good night, Jim ar-ranged to meet us in the morning and take us on an extended tour of the area.

As it turned out, the bed and breakfast where we were to spend our lastnight in Victoria was very near to Jim’s house. Mike & Doug arranged to drop ourtrailers off early so we could spend the day sight seeing without them. The ownergreeted us warmly, even letting us move our stuff in to our rooms. (Actually, Mikeand I got an entire apartment to ourselves while Doug & Jo got a room.) Jim andhis son, Matthew, led us on a wonderful all day tour of Victoria and the surroundingarea. Eventually, they took us to Buchart Gardens where we planned to spend theevening. Those of you who know me know I was in floral heaven!!!

Jim and Matthew sawus off to the mainland inthe morning by escortingus to the ferry. This timethe ferry company did itright – bikes on and offfirst! We disembarked inVancouver and headedoff for Kamloops wherewe were to meet up withanother chapter for din-ner. Unfortunately wewere late due to the heat(105 degrees), but Ianand Cynthia Hisoock, the

CD’s met us later for a long chat. Although Kamloops is just slightly north of theOcanogan (which is the Canadian desert), it was very obvious that this part ofCanada was not prepared for the high temperatures (and neither were we). Tosay the air conditioners were ineffective would be an understatement – weROASTED!

From Kamloops, it was on to Golden where we began to see some of themost incredible scenery. As we drove through Rogers Pass, we found ourselvespassing numerous roadside waterfalls. From Golden, we drove through heavilywooded areas, complete with many deer, to the Columbia Ice Fields for a tour. Theglaciers were impressive. Walking out on one to drink the water was quite a treat. Itwas hard for us to believe that the “Charlie Brown” type trees were hundreds ofyears old but the growing season is 90 days per year max. Although we were closeto Jasper, the decision was made to head back to Lake Louise for lunch. Onceagain, waterfalls lined the roadside and we saw a Buck with a noble rack of antlerswalking through the trees.

After two days spent in and around Golden we ventured towards Waterton.On the way we encountered a Big Horn Sheep standing on the side of the road.What a gorgeous animal! Once it realized that humans were watching, it boundedacross the road and up the side of a cliff into the woods. The sheep’s agility andability to go straight up a cliff amazed us as it was gone in seconds. We alsospotted bear, moose, foxes, and owls along the way.

Deer wandered through the town of Waterton despite all the human traffic.The locals said that moose, elk, and bear showed up from time to time as well.Waterton National Park in Alberta and Glacier National Park in Montana, abut oneanother creating a beautiful, scenic area to travel through – especially on aWING! Nature gets up close and personal when you have to avoid drivingthrough waterfalls which are spilling on to the road. It was in this area that weencountered several Mountain Goat families.

Continued from page 24

It was wonderful to watch them romping through the snow and across thefields. We also got an up close look at the patriarch as he posed for pictures bythe Visitors Center and at a mother and her baby as they stood roadside. We sawso many awesome sights during a few short hours it was hard to believe. This isdefinitely an area worth visiting and re-visiting.

Then it was time to begin our trip homeward through Montana, Idaho, and oninto Utah for a ride down Carole Waddell’s favorite road – Highway 12, which runsalong the top of a mountain ridge and into Escalante, Utah. Although the road, whichis very twisty and has no guard rails can be quite unnerving, the scenery is unsur-passed. You are literally riding at the top of the world.

Then the true excitement began. At lunch, Doug noticed that his rear tire wasvery low and discovered that it was down to only 19 lbs. Finding air in Escalanteproved to be a challenge as 2 of the 3 gas stations did not have functioning com-pressors. The guys carefully studied the tire and determined that the root of theproblem was a puncture from a broken cotter pin. That left us with two options,neither of which was overly palatable – Tow Busters or trying to plug the tire. Weknew that Tow Busters would take forever to come as Escalante is in the middle ofnowhere.

Thus, the guys decided there was nothing to loose by trying a plug first. Wedecided it would be best to leave their trailer in Escalante if this experimentworked as the nearest Honda dealer with a tire was in Cedar City, 120 miles away.Mike, being the kind, generous person that he is, offered to be punished by ridingthrough Zion and Bryce twice more to pick up Doug and Jo’s trailer the followingday. The gas station where they could fix the tire had no place to leave his trailerso they left it at the one at the north end of town and returned to insert a plug.Miraculously, it held thanks to lots of glue and an angel watching over us. After agood test drive through town, we decided to try the ride to Cedar City. Jo will attestto the fact that it was the longest 120 miles in history! But we made it safely andleft Doug’s bike at Cedar City Honda to be worked on in the morning while wewent back to get his trailer.

Cedar City is a pretty little town to ride through but a really dull place to spendany amount of time (unless you are interested in the Shakespearian Festival). Oncethe tire was replaced and the trailer reattached, all of us were eager to get headedtoward Jean, Nevada. At this point, our beds were calling to us from San Diego. Wearrived home safely on July 20th having traveled 5000 miles, bringing with us memo-ries which will last a lifetime and ideas for future adventures.
