Ken & Patti Kintner
Hello Chapter W! As I’m writing this (Labor
Day Weekend) we are anticipating a great time
and get away at the Region D Rally. Patti’s job
at the bank has come to an end due to a merger that happened, her
accounts payable job was eliminated. So during the break before her
(hopefully) next job – we plan to arrive in Kendallville a day or two early
and relax a bit. Don’t miss it! The Old Time Country Fair is sure to be a
great time.
Don’t miss the Region D Couple of the Year selection. We are counting
on all Michigan members to support and cheer on our MI District Couple,
Gary & Carol Williams! The Region D couple selection is on the schedule for
Friday 3-4pm right before opening ceremony! Again, Don’t Miss It! Some of
the other things you won’t want to miss include: A dinner ride at 4:15 on
Thursday. The Honda dealer will have Demo Rides. The Vendor Trade Show.
The Directors Challenge. A Corn Shucking contest, Seminars. The Haystack
Obstacle Course. Chapter Sales. The Old Time Country Supper. The Bike &
Light Show. A Clogging Demo, more Seminars, Fair Games and MORE! See
the schedule in this newsletter for more information.
As our new District Director is recuperating from heart surgery we wish
him a speedy recovery! Bob & Kim Scott are working towards getting all
the new District Staff positions filled and Patti & I are completing our 4th
year as Chapter Directors of Chapter W. At the July gathering we
announced that we would be stepping down at the end of the year so we
don’t have to keep switching hats, shirts & vests - and 4 years is long
enough. We had a great time as chapter directors and I’m sure whoever
takes our place will have as much fun as we did. I know some of you have
been there done that (I seem to hear it all the time) BUT someone will have
to step up and take on the position.
Now the time is here to get to work on the final preparations for the
30th Annual Toy Run. I believe that our Toy Run may be the longest
running GWRRA Chapter Motorcycle Event in Michigan. (correct me if I’m
wrong) Chapter W members have been doing a great job on this event way
before Patti and I were around. That credit and thanks goes to all of YOU!
The postcards have been sent out. Many great prizes have been donated by
local businesses. But we need our chapter members to bring a few things
to make it a success. So as a reminder: the morning of the Toy Run BRING
a bag of ICE, 2 dozen cookies in bags of two, 10 door prizes per person, a
case of bottled water and a cooler if you have one. Patti and I will be
returning from Region D that morning but Co-chairs Scott Griewahn &
Tanya White will have all the chapter supplies and we are sure they will do
a great job with any last minute details.
Lastly - check the calendar - there are two chapters in OUR SECTION
having events the last two weekends in September please try to support
them both!
Until next time, Keep the Shiny Side UP!
Senior Chapter Directors, Ken & Patti Kintner

MONTHLY TOPIC: Warm Weather Worries
After a longer than usual, cool, wet spring season in our neighborhood, this summer has certainly brought us
our share of hot weather. And if you went to Greenville, SC, for Wing Ding, you added some southern-style
heat to your diet. True, July is the hottest month on average in our region, but August average high
temperatures are only 2°-3° cooler than July. Besides, when was the last year we had a summer season with
average or below average temperatures? So let’s review our warm weather riding tips.
First, make sure you have gear appropriate for the weather. Consider what you will wear to cover your arms
while riding in direct sunlight during daylight hours (if you are lucky enough to avoid the rain). If you have it,
a mesh jacket provides unparalleled ventilation and abrasion resistance. A denim shirt is another alternative
that is fairly light weight and offers better protection than t-shirt material. Protection is important, but keep in
mind that when you are comfortable, you are able to focus on the act of riding. Denim is the most common
choice for long pants, but you might want to think about purchasing motorcycle-specific riding pants. Gloves
are the other area where the ambient temperature is usually factored into the decision of what to wear.
Perforated leather gloves will breathe better than solid leather. There are also mesh gloves on the market
which, like the jackets, also provide great ventilation coupled with superior abrasion resistance. They are
worth considering.
Second, plan to maintain your hydration level. Every time you stop for gas or a rest break in hot weather, take
time to drink enough fluids to replace what you lost through perspiration. This should be at least eight ounces
per hour during the heat of the day. You may think that your clothes are not holding an entire cup of sweat
that you could wring out of them. And that is probably true. While you are riding, some of your perspiration is
soaked up by your clothes and is carried away by the air flowing around you. And some moisture evaporates
directly from your skin. It must all be replaced to keep your system hydrated. A simple way to determine if
you are getting enough fluids is to monitor your output at rest stops. In short, if you are drinking frequently
but don’t have to go at each rest stop, then you probably are not drinking enough. Modify this as necessary for
your own situation.
Third, remain aware of your own physical condition. Exposure to too much heat for too long can result in
hyperthermia. This is the condition where your body cannot properly regulate your internal temperature and
your temperature rises uncontrollably. If allowed to reach this state, it is a medical emergency requiring
immediate medical attention. The key is to prevent your body from reaching this condition. Watch for
symptoms like the absence of sweat in hot weather. This could mean your body has lost too much water and
cannot produce any more sweat, the principal means of temperature regulation. Without the ability to sweat,
the core temperature of the body will rise quickly. Other early warning symptoms include confusion,
headache, dizziness, redness of the skin, often most noticeable on the face. If you notice any of these
symptoms in yourself or those riding with you, find the nearest place to sit down, drink lots of water, and relax
in the shade or an air conditioned space. Remove gear and loosen clothing to allow the body to cool itself.
Increase the frequency of breaks during the hottest part of the day.
With the right gear and travel plans that include frequent breaks with plenty of water, you can enjoy riding
safely even in the hottest weather.
