FROM THE HEAD FOX Chapter Director

Crystal Richardson

Been There – Done That What does that phrase mean to you? I can tell you, after being in GWRRA more than 20 years I have

used that phrase myself but today I read CA1D’s newsletter and Cliff made a statement that has

made an impact on me:

“Even if we have traveled the road before, we will see new things and take the new memories with us.

To share our travels with others is a great gift. Let’s keep our friends and family close, remember the

good times and make new memories.”

I had to stop and think about that for a moment. To this day I talk about the first road trip I took to Wing

Ding in Billings, Montana with Chapter F. There were thirteen motorcycles and we traveled as on big

gaggle (didn’t know any better back then). That was before the GPS so months before we started

planning our trip. We would have true ride planning meetings to discuss the following:

How far is everybody comfortable traveling each day – which led us to how many days it would

take us to get to our destination (and home).

How often do you need to stop (fuel range, bladder range, stomach range, etc).

What route do we want to take – that was the really fun part of the planning.

What do we want to see along the way?

Where is everybody staying at Wing Ding?

Are you camping or staying in a hotel?

Now at that point in time I was a co-rider so to be honest I can’t remember much of the route but I can

share some of the memories from that trip. We went thru 4 Corners and everybody had their picture

taken touching all 4 states, we saw some beautiful countryside getting to Escalante, CO as well as

bear, deer, sheep and a running joke about Hay J We rode over the “spine of ???” which was a road

so narrow and slightly twisty you could look down BOTH sides and I do mean down. If you’ve traveled

some of the mountains in Colorado, you know what I’m talking about.

We went thru Yellowstone, made it up to Mount Rushmore and rode the pigtail highway. That was fun

watching all the bikes thru that. We went to some park where the elevation was over 12k feet – one

member got elevation sickness and had to head back down the mountain. (yes, I remember who).

We saw Devil’s Tower, rode over Chief Joseph’s Highway – man was that cold and so foggy we could

barely see. Coming home we went thru Glacier National Park and Idaho, Washington, Oregon, etc.

At that time ALL chapter members wore our red/blue denim vests proudly. Chapter F stood out

among the 14,000 members that were there. That trip made us a family and created friendships that

are still strong to this day.

Ok, so I’m rambling but you can see how easy it was for me to go down memory lane and relive that

experience. This happened almost 20 years ago and I can still see it as if it were yesterday. We

laughed, we joked, we had fun, we got on each other’s nerves then laughed some more.

My point is, now we have new/different faces that we haven’t traveled with in the past. Yes, I know

our chapter is aging but in my opinion that means we just don’t travel as far in a single day or we don’t

plan trips that will take us on the road for two weeks. BUT, the fun is in the planning! Getting together, (Continued on page 21)

THANK YOU CALIFORNIA

Thank you California for coming out and supporting the Region F Convention. Not only did you come out and play but over

31 people volunteered to sell tickets this year. We would not be able to meet our obligations if you, California didn’t support

us. When that many people come together to sell tickets the burden is lighten on each and everyone. Again from the bottom

of our hearts we thank you for all that you do for our fabulous state. For those who didn’t have the opportunity of visiting Tuc-

son this year at the Region F convention, you will have another opportunity to see Tucson in November when Arizona will be

having their state convention.

Tucson has many sites to see and it is a very beautiful location. Just a few things to see while visiting Tucson;

Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum

Mission San Xavier del Bac

Saguaro National Park

Tucson Mountain Park

Old Tucson Studios

El Presidio Historic District

Pima Air and Space Museum

University of Arizona

St Augustine Cathedral

Catalina State Park

Reid Park Zoo

International Wildlife Museum

And let’s not forget the infamous Tombstone!

In the southeastern corner of Arizona is Tombstone, the famous Wild West town of the silver boom. The

town has preserved many of the original buildings and in fact restored them to the point that they no

longer look historical. Actors dressed in Western style walk through town and staged gunfights

breakout in the streets. Tombstone is known for its history but today it has a much more commercial

feel, rather than historical. Nonetheless, Tombstone is a fun day trip from Tucson and the surrounding

areas.

So mark your calendars for October 30, 31 and November 1st we’ll be back in Tucson for Arizona’s state

convention.

Speaking of conventions, we are now finalizing a lot of our plans for our state convention this year over Labor

As usual we had another busy month. We started the month with our first Fun Run meeting at our home. We

got a lot accomplished, so we will only need one more meeting in September to ensure we have everything in

place. If you would like to volunteer to help out, please contact me so I can get you on the list.

We do need everyone’s help in obtaining door prizes. When you go out to your favorite stores or restaurants

please take along our donation flyer and ask them to donate a prize or gift certificate.

We were happy to see everyone at our monthly chapter meeting, the after meeting ride took us to Five Guys

in Escondido. Our planning meeting for activities for the rest of year was held at the Maury’s home, we have

lots of exciting events planned, so check out the calendar and come on out and join us!

Then we were off to Tucson AZ for the Region Rally. We arrived on Thursday evening. Of course we had to

stop in Yuma AZ at Cracker Barrel for dinner then again in Tucson for dessert. We spent the weekend very busy.

Friday had us selling our raffle tickets and Friday evening we sold 50/50 and grand prize tickets for the Region.

Some of us attended classes and others were teaching classes. We were entertained with an ice cream social

and lighted bike contest. Saturday we had a chance to ride Mt. Lemmon, and it got quite chilly up on the moun-

tain. The weather was great in the 80’s. There were some vendors and we all spent some money.

Drive In Movie Nights has started this month. Remember to check the calendar and look for emails announc-

ing the details.

We will be ending the month with a Mystery ride planned by us which will take us up through Fallbrook, Lake

Elsinore over Ortega Highway to one of our favorite restaurants.

Next month we will be supporting CA1L and Liz’s graduation on the 6th. Ronald McDonald House on the 7th,

our chapter meeting on the 13th, CA1D on the 14th, PLP on the 20th, the Blue Knights on the 27th as well as Drive

In Movie night, a ride to the Del Mar Fair on the 28th. So come on out and join us!

We need your help in getting the trailer raffle sold! Some ideas to get these tickets sold are attending other

chapter’s monthly meetings or events, keeping some booklets on you and asking people you know or come

across when you are out and about. This raffle is for the chapter so we can have a celebration, we need every-

one to help get these tickets sold by September.

We would also like to say Happy Father’s Day to everyone and hope you get a chance to celebrate with your

family.

Look forward to seeing you at June’s meeting.

The Education Corner

Chapter Educators

Mike & Elma Maury

It is not the Boy Scouts, but…..

We all know the Boy Scout motto is “Be Prepared”. We are not the Scouts, but we can borrow their motto, when it comes to our riding. There are a few things we need to do every time we go for a ride. We and our machines need to be in top condition for the safest ride we can have. If the bike is not right or if we are not right things can conspire to make a bad result. Even if it is just a “close call” we don’t want that. Always ask yourself: “Do I know for sure that the tire pressure is correct?” If you are not sure of the tire pressure, it has been to long since you checked it. Do not just look at the tires. Keep a tire gauge handy, get down and check the pres-sure. The contact patch of your rear tire is probably smaller than your fist. The front tire contact patch is a lot smaller. You are getting ready to go into turns with a nine hundred pound machine with one or two people riding. This is not the time for the tire to squirm from being hot and underinflated. Co-riders, you have the right to ask your rider if they have checked the tires. Or learn how to do it yourself. It could be the best thing you ever learned about the bike. Maintenance of the bike is critical in many other areas. Look for fluid leaks, warn or sloppy controls and cables. When was the last time a qualified mechanic checked out the mechanics? Has it been tuned lately? You do not want to be 50 miles from the nearest fuel station and realize you mileage has been terrible. After each day’s riding, clean the bugs off. After they dry, they are harder to clean off and you will keep the machine looking good longer. Here is a great way to save some serious money and maybe save a ride. While you are cleaning the bike make sure to clean off any bugs or dirt that has accumulated on the sliding portion of the front forks. Dirt and dried bugs on those forks will speed up fork seal wear. When fork seals go out, you ride deteriorates quickly. Without proper suspension dampening you can lose control of the bike. Leaking oil is a mess and can get into your breaks. Not a good thing. Ok so now you are committed to keeping the bike in good shape. Are you ready to ride? If you have had a stressful day, you may need to clear your mind to focus on the very important tasks at hand. Are you ready to actively work to stay out of trouble? You need to be able to SCAN the road ahead of you so that you can IDENTIFY hazards, PREDICT what can happen, DECIED how to avoid the problem, and EXECUTE your survival plan. This process is continual. In fact, at any one time, you may have several hazards identified, that all have to be dealt with. Scan your path of travel constantly. While you are riding be vigilant to keep clear space around you, as much as possible. Know at all times how much space there is in front, back, left and right. Maintain an escape route, for when something goes wrong. Eventually it will. Upcoming Rider Education Activities include: PLP and skills practice will be on Saturday June 20,. It will be held at the usual place, 8322 Clairemont Mesa Blvd. Come

join us to practice your slow speed riding skills in a protected environment. The after practice ride will fea-

ture a twisties ride ending at Barrett Junction Café for lunch.

Membership Enhancement

Coordinators

Steve & Alma Sprenkle

I am sure by now everyone has heard about the region F convention. Whoever did not go, you really missed a great time. We did have a great time with all the seminars that were taken and taught by all, the door prizes, 50/25/25's (3 of them over the 3 day's), the grand prize's won. The resort was beautiful. Yes, initially the cost was a bit pricey, but with the $30 dollar credit back to your room, we only had to pay $89 dollars a day which is the usual cost of any hotel stay during the conventions. The region "F" team did an outstanding job bringing it together, and I think everyone had a great time, Thank you to all the 20 CA-1F members at the convention. Maybe next year we can get more to go. We would like to congratulate Michelle Kelley for be-coming our newest qualified UTDP trainer. Alma found this story below, and I thought it would be great for the newsletter:

If my body were a car If my body were a car, this is the time i would be thinking about trading it in for a newer model. I've got bumps and dents and scratches in my finish and my paint job is getting a little dull but that's not the worst of it. My headlights are out of focus and it's especially hard to see things up close. My traction is not as graceful as it once was. I slip and slide and skid and bump into things even in the best of weather. My whitewalls are stained with varicose veins. It takes me hours to reach my maximum speed. My fuel rate burns inefficiently. But here's the worst of it -- Almost every time I sneeze, cough or sputter either my radiator leaks or my ex-haust backfires! Aren't you glad you ride a Gold Wing.

Day weekend. The date: September 4th – 6th – the location: The DoubleTree Hotel in lovely downtown Bak-

ersfield. We are excited and know this convention will be a lot of fun! Our theme this year is “The Sixties”.

How fun is that, an era most of lived through in our younger days and for many don’t even remember it. Can

you say Woodstock?? All kidding aside we are looking forward to creating a fun atmosphere for all of us to

get together again and have some fun as we always do. From the Kern County Museum, to the Crystal Pal-

ace, and The California Area Living Museum, to the Fox Theater, there are many things to do in Bakersfield,

plus riding. Yes there is riding in the surrounding areas of Bakersfield.

The lost Highway 58 – Bakersfield to San Luis Obispo! Only 90 miles one way!

Ask the locals in Bakersfield about Hwy 58 to San Luis Obispo and they'll tell you there's no such thing and then

direct you to the super-slab Hwy 46. Don't listen. Beginning about a dozen miles west of Bakersfield, Hwy 58

is a roller-coaster all the way to the coast. Giant sweepers with giddying changes in elevation run through

pastoral farmland for more than an hour. Then suddenly the road tightens down into twisting loops as you di-

ve into canyon country. Just as suddenly, it all stops and you find you've arrived at San Luis Obispo's back

door.

Lake Isabella!

Welcome to Lake Isabella, heart of the Kern River Valley, California’s best kept secret. With many activities, includ-

ing fishing, hiking, camping, windsurfing, skiing, or just relaxing, the lake itself has much to offer. Don’t miss one of California’s largest Wild West celebrations, Whiskey Flat Days, four days of fun for the entire family. The area is in the southern end of the Sierra Nevada range and the lake itself is located in low mountains at an eleva-tion of approximately 2,500 feet. Also, home of the Isabella Lake Fishing Derby, one of the nation’s largest trout derbies! With the “wild & scenic” Kern River flowing into and out of Isabella Lake, there are amazing sights and great times to be had by all.

We know that you all of choices to make as where to spend not only your time, but your money. We thank you in advance for choosing to spend your Labor Day Holiday with us and 300+ of your closest friends.

We will have 7 Rider Ed classes, plus CPR/First aid, both full class and recertification. An ARC class (space is very limited – only 3 spots left), a TRC class – (12 spots available) we are also having a PLP facilitator class. On the Leadership Training side we will have 8 classes available. We’ve attached the list of classes being offered this year. Please remember that the ARC, TRC and First Aid Classes have a cost for attending. We ask that you please sign up for the PLP facilitator class so we know how many to plan for.

As well as all of the Educational opportunities, we are planning a great schedule. The IOY & COY selection process is on Friday, stage interviews are set for 3:00-4:00 so you can come and cheer on your chapter’s honorees. Opening ceremo-nies are on Friday at 7:00p where we will announce our new District IOY & COY for 2015-2016. Saturday is chocked full of activities. Starting early Saturday morning, the Masters Breakfast at 7:00 am, breakfast will be $15.00 (must pre-reg) where you will have an opportunity to win a set of tires donated by Sky Med. After breakfast you will have classes, ven-dors, Chapter games are at 1:00p-4:00, Bingo is at 4:00p-6:30 and ice-cream is at 6:30p – winding out the day with our Light Parade starting at 8:00p. Sunday will also have activities but are limited so you can take Sunday and just relax by the pool, go for a ride or go site seeing around town. The Gold Angels will be performing in the morning (location pend-

HELP WANTED!

Do you enjoy getting out and talking to people? Do you have a bit of spare time? Do you enjoy talking to others about

motorcycles and motorcycle awareness?

If so, have we got a job for you! We’re searching for a Motorist Awareness Coordinator for the Chapter.

We’re looking for a member or group of members to talk with others about motorcycling and keeping an eye out for us.

The position can be made as simple or as complex as you’d like and can be shared by several people. The desire is for

members to build a rapport with the motoring public, remind them to “Share the Road” and leave them with the feeling

that motorcyclists are real people who could be their friend, neighbor or even a relative.

GWRRA’s goal for this division of the Rider Education Program is to establish the safest motorcycling environment possi-

ble by educating motorists thus creating a reduction in the number of crashes, injuries and loss of life. All the materials

are provided by National – handouts as well as short video clips that can be easily downloaded. There are also Power-

Point seminars which can be presented by a certified Seminar Instructor.

There are many opportunities in our communities to spread the word on a simple level such as when a group of our bikes

are parked together after a ride, bike nights and community events. Also community service groups such as the Kiwanis,

Rotary and Chamber of Commerce are always looking for speakers as are driving schools and even driver’s education pro-

grams at some of our private schools. All we’re looking for is a bit of time and the willingness to enthusiastically speak to

others about our passion for riding safely.

If you’re interested in the position or need more information please contact Mike and Elma Maury or Crystal Richardson.

CD cont.:

CDD cont.:

planning a destination, planning a route, getting excited about our road trip, sharing our adven-

tures with each other. We have packed our schedule with day rides and rides to other chapters to

give everybody an opportunity to ride. We have so many people with so many experiences and

ideas in our chapter I would love to hear what you enjoy doing and where you would like to go and

NOT “whatever you guys plan – I’ll go along”. Where do WE want to go as a Chapter, what do WE

want to do as a Chapter (family)?

That being said, I am sharing my 2016 Goal with Chapter F – getting back to basics and sharing ex-

periences with each other. I would love to travel up the coast to Monterey, go to Hearst Castle, visit

the Redwoods, travel to Mt. Shasta, etc. I invite you to come along on the rides and make some

NEW memories with me.

OK Chapter F Family…..Let’s Ride!
