Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA) Region I WY Chapter B, Cheyenne WY & All Wyoming March 2012

Hi,

Riding season is just around the corner. But which corner? The days are getting longer and

the snow banks are getting deeper. With over a foot of snow in February we might have a nice

March. DON'T HOLD YOUR BREATH!!!!!

After the March meeting on the 10th some of us will make a trip to Colorado to see some of

our friends south of the border and eat spaghetti. Colorado District Fundraiser -- 5-9pm --

at the Trinity Presbyterian Church, 7755 Vance Drive, Arvada, Colorado 80003.

Our Chapter B Birthday Party will soon be here -- March 24th -- 26 Years -- at the Knights of

Columbus Hall. Breakfast will start at 9 AM with a short program and silent auction to follow.

Now I need your help. We need items for the silent auction Anyone having an item you

could donate to the silent auction PLEASE bring it to the meeting or call Dan & Jacque or

Paulette & myself. We also need people to help with the auction and selling tickets.

Excellent way to meet other GWRRA members.

On April 22nd, Nebraska Chapter W will celebrate their chapter's birthday. Presently, time and

place are not available. Should know more by our meeting or at our birthday party.

We are also looking for nominations for couple of the year and individual of the year. If you

have a couple or individual you would like to nominate let us know ASAP. Thank you.

By the time man finally figures out women -- he is no longer interested.

Till we eat again!!!!!

Jim & Paulette

Hi Everyone:

This has not been a very exciting month. I am glad that spring is on

the way. We have had enough cold wind but not enough snow. We need

more of the white stuff!!

We did have a backup camera installed on the truck. It is wonderful.

You can really see what’s back there. You can also do different views

that show the sides of the vehicle.

My best friend Brian Mercer has been really ill since January 2. He was

in the hospital in Longmont, Co. until February 10, 2012. Now he is in

the Northern Colorado Rehabilitation Hospital at Loveland, Co. We have

been making many trips south to visit him.

I guess I’ll say goodbye for now and hope to have more interesting

things to say in the future.

Dancin’ Dan and Jacque

Hi everyone,Hi everyone,Hi everyone,Hi everyone,

March is here, spring is just 21 days away. Is your bike ready to ride, have you done

your “T-CLOCS” inspections? If you aren’t familiar with this inspection, check it out

on GWRRA’s web site and I will have some copies at the Breakfast Meeting. You need

to check your tire condition, air pressure, cooling system, change engine oil, clean

battery terminals. Clean your bike, while checking hoses and all fluids. It’s a whole lot

easier to do this type of maintenance in your garage than it is to call “Tow Busters”

when you’re away from home. I haven’t heard if we are having a maintenance day yet. I

should know by our monthly breakfast meeting when and where. If it is something that

you cannot do, remember to call Phil, he can work on your wing at a reasonable rate.

When you go for that first ride you need to be extremely careful. Four wheelers are not

looking for us. They haven’t seen a lot of motorcycles since November. Also watch for

the sand and potholes on our wonderful city streets. There is getting to be a lot of

them.

Let’s get ready to ride.

Until next month, Always remember to:

Ride Safe and Ride Often

GWRRA Wyoming District Directors

Greetings Wyoming Members

We cannot believe we are writing for the March newsletter already. Time goes by

so fast, but it is bringing us closer to the riding season. We hope you all have some

great trips planned for this spring and summer.

In the past month the District Team members have been busy finishing the year

end reports and getting all of them submitted to the Region and National Offices on

time. We thank all of you who got your reports to us in a timely manner which

helped us to accomplish this goal. Good job everyone!

One unfortunate thing did happen this past month; we had to close the GWRRA

Wyoming Chapter C in the Rock Springs and Green River area. All efforts were

made to keep the Chapter open, but we were unable to get any interest from the

former members to keep the Chapter open. We are always sad to have to close a

Chapter.

On a lighter note, the Wyoming District Team members are preparing for our

Spring Planning Meeting that will be held in Sheridan, WY on Saturday March 31st.

The meeting will be held at the Sheridan Holiday Inn. There we will finalize many

of our plans for the Wyoming District Convention. We are looking forward to seeing

all our friends from around Wyoming in attendance. We are hoping that each of the

Chapter Directors will attend this meeting or be able to send a representative from

each chapter. But, all members are welcome to attend.

With some of the plans we have seen so far, the Wyoming District Convention

looks like it will be a great time with lots of rides planned and fun for all. More

details on the events will be available after the Spring Meeting. We hope you all will

make plans to join us in Sheridan on June 28th, 29th, and 30th.

All of us on the District Team would like to sincerely thank all of the Chapter

Directors, their Assistants, and their Chapter Members for your help and support in

this past year. We appreciate all of you very much and are looking forward to seeing

our friends down the road and having some FUN!

Ride Safe!
