should have more information for you at our Gathering on
October 12th as well as menu information.
We had the Jim Venne Memorial Poker Run this past Sunday.
The weather was perfect, and we had 94 participants from
four New England States come and pay their final respects
to a great guy and also to support his favorite charity, the
New England Ride for Kids.
After expenses, the total raised came to $2026.00. Our
expenses were very low due to the generosity of our Partners,
The New Hampshire State Veterans Cemetery in Boscawen,
N.H., The Benevolent and Protective Order of the Elks,
Gilford, N.H. Chapter, and the Quality Cash Market in
East Concord, N.H. Out of the total raised, $710.00 were
donations that were sent in by people that knew Jim and
were not able to attend the event.
Winners of the event were Violet Baker, Maine Chapter
A, with 4 Aces, ($150.00), Second Place went to Bill
d’Entremont, Massachusetts Chapter A, with three sixes,
($100.00), and worst hand went went to Steve Roy, New
Hampshire Chapter E ($50.00). Steve Roy also won the
Mileage Guess ($36.00). The 50/25/25 prizes of $94.00
each went to Herve’ Houde, from Massachusetts Chapter A,
and to Gary Chater, from Derry, New Hampshire.
It was wonderful to see Sue Venne and Jim’s brother Jerry
at the event and we wish a quick recovery to Pete Venne
who was not able to make the ride. Seeing everyone at the
finish was certainly proof as to how many of us had our
lives touched by Jim and he surely will be missed.
The NH/VT Flag was captured by Chapter NH-A at the
Poker Run. I’m not sure which chapter had the most
participants, but NH-A was the only one to ask if they could
steal the flag.
The ride after the October
Gathering will be to the Maine
Diner in Wells, Maine for the
best that Lobster has to offer. We
should be arriving at the Diner by
1PM for lunch, then a leisurely
ride back through Pittsfield and
over Catamount Mountain back to
the Lakes Region. Don’t forget to
dress warm as it can get quite cold
this year.
I have set up our Chapter G Christmas party to be held
at the Greenside Restaurant, where we hold our monthly
gatherings. It will be held on Thursday December 4th. I
Mike Vaillancourt
I want to personally thank everyone in Chapter G that gave
a hand from working the day of the event, to laying out the
ride, to riding the route numerous times.

Rewind
The September Chapter G Gathering was well attended
with 24 members taking part.
We got in another shipment of Name Tags, and back patch
rockers, so those of you that are looking to finish off your
vests, Bob and Kaye have those items now in their inventory.
There was a discussion about the upcoming Jim Venne
Memorial Poker Run, and the running of the route the week
before the event. Some were concerned that the Race at
the New Hampshire Motor Speedway was going on that
day, and about getting across
NH Route 106, but it turned out
not to be a problem and we were
able to run the route without
incident.
Our own Charlie Collins was surprised to say the least as he
was presented with the new Chapter Position of “Goodwill
Ambassador. Charlie has been a mainstay in Chapter G
since the beginning and it was time that he was rewarded for
his devotion. Charlie was presented with a special plaque
and nametag stating “Goodwill Ambassador”.
After
the
Chapter
Gathering, we had a
group of 11 bikes that
took a ride on the back
roads of New Hampshire
up to Lincoln, and
then up and over the
Kangamangas Highway.
We stopped on the other
side of the summit in a
wayside area and had
a picnic lunch, and
then meandered south
working our way
down to Wentworth
Lake, and then into
Wolfeboro, where we
stopped for ice cream.
The weather was
absolutely perfect and
a good time was had
by all.

On Sunday October 5th, during the Chapter NH-A Silver Lake Railroad Ride,
Chapter G stole the flag back from Chapter A in just ONE week - so the flag is
back in our possession.
Note: It happened as I was headed to work - after getting coffee of course - I was pulling out of DD as
Chapter A and G rode by - I was sooooooooo jealous, as I haven’t ridden since the July rally - Having
ridden the Silver Lake Railroad and knowing the fantastic colors this year - you all couldn’t have asked
for a nicer day. Carol C.

Putting You Wing Away
For the Season
For those of us that stay up here in New England for the winter we need to prepare our Wings
for winter storage so that we can have an uneventful 1st ride in the spring. I went looking
for some information on this on the web even though I have been doing this a few years with
my wing and also some other “toys” and equipment. I wanted to make sure that I wasn’t
missing anything or should be doing things differently. I found this article by Ron Lieback on
ultimatemotorcycling.com that was written just last year. Some of the steps do not pertain to
us “wingers”, i.e chain lubrication, etc. but all in all it covers everything. I found a couple of
things that I wasn’t doing that I will be this year. Hope you all find it useful.
11 Tips for Winter Motorcycle Storage
1. Go for a Long Ride:
Also, when changing brake and clutch fluid, I bleed
two full reservoirs before topping it off. This makes
sure all the old, nasty fluid is out. And remember to use
correct coolant; if your bike is stored in extremely cold
temperatures, radiators/lines can bust, ruining not only
the riding season, but spraying corrosive material all
over your soon-to-be clean motorcycle.
Many of riders don’t follow this, but I do. I change all
fluids – oil (with filter), clutch, brake and coolant –
before every winter storage. And this all depends on
how long ago you’ve changed your fluids. Example: If
it’s been a month and a few hundred miles after a clutch/
brake fluid change, I would only change the oil.
On the subject of fluids, if the bike is going to be in
storage for more than four months, it’s not a bad idea
to remove the spark plugs and spray the inside of the
cylinder walls with oil. Remember to also bump the
ignition to spread the oil on the cylinder walls for
preservation.
But for most, this isn’t the case. And considering I
change my brake and clutch fluid twice a year, this saves
a step in the beginning of the riding season.
Throughout my years of riding, I’ve never encountered
any mechanical breakdowns, and I continue to beat my
engines daily. I blame this on normal maintenance, and
using fresh fluids ahead of storage.
It’s the last time you will this season. Make it fun, even
if it means being a hooligan (safe and within the law, of
course…).
2. Fresh Fluids (Oil, Clutch, Brake, Coolant):
Simply put – changing the fluids keeps things fresh. All
fluids, especially used oil, contain contaminants from
normal operation, quickly becoming a corrosive bath of
fluids. This can destroy rubber seals rather quickly.
3. Scrub, Wash, Dry & Wax:
Begin with the dirty parts, such as the chain and brakes.
I use a grunge brush and an O-ring safe degreaser for the
Nobody has more Fun than “G”!
GWRRA Chapter NH-G The Lakes Region Wings Newsletter
chain, and disc cleaner for the brakes. While cleaning
save yourself some steps for the spring season and
inspect everything.
Next, wash and thoroughly dry the motorcycle,
especially if you’re doing this before covering it. Water
create moisture, and moisture becomes the Beelzebub of
problems, causing corrosion and mold.
Next, wax or treat the paint however you usually do,
and don’t forget to treat chrome if it’s there. This allows
further protection while put away, and also provides a
spotless platform to feed your hunger for riding come
spring. Some also treat their leather seats and/or other
leather items before storage. I respect my seats, and
store them inside for the winter. This keeps them fresh
for next season.
4. Wax/Lubricate Chain:
Page 11
Fill up fuel tank and add stabilizer to keep the inside of
the tank moisture-free.
This is the reason we top off the tank – to keep moisture
from building inside, which causes rust. As for the fuel
stabilizer, it does just what it says – stabilizes fuel so
it doesn’t go bad. Bad fuel can ruin a motorcycle’s
induction components quickly.
5. Exhaust Prep:
Once the exhaust is clean, I spray a very small amount of
WD-40 into the end of the pipes, making sure no excess
gets outside of the outlets. The “WD” stands for “Water
Displacement,” and this helps further protect the inner
exhaust/engine from moisture, which can turn into rust.
Once this process is complete. I use a plastic bag, such
as a grocery bag, to insert into the pipe and then wrap
the access around the outside of the pipe, securing it
to the tip with a rubber band. This keeps varmints out,
which like to nest inside the exhaust during the winter
months.
Besides cleaning and waxing/lubricating your chain
throughout the season (rule of thumb: every 500 miles
for street; 200 miles for adventure/off-road), you can
also extend the life of your chain by treating it before
storage.
6. Battery Maintenance:
As mentioned in Tip #3 above, make sure you clean
the chain. And remember to get the chain warm (five
miles or so of riding) before lubing/waxing; this allows
the lube to dissolve quicker and enter the O-Ring chain
for proper lubrication. Then, wipe off all excess wax/
lubricant.
Storage charges such as a Battery Tender Junior are
cheap nowadays, and can make your battery last for
years. My father has the record for longest battery life
on his 2002 Heritage Softail Classic – eight years. He
uses a Battery Tender Junior, and he will try to get nine
years out of the same battery next season.
Either remove the battery, and keep it on a trickle
charger, or insert a pigtail on the battery. I use the pigtail
on everything; sometimes we’ll test new motorcycles
for weeks at a time, and the pigtails on my personal
bikes allow for a simple hookup to a trickle charger.
For those with a final-belt drive, well, forget this step…
you’re lucky.
5. Gas Treatment:
For fuel injection systems, I simple fill the tank with
fuel, add fuel stabilizer, run it for a few minutes, and
shut it off. This allows the stabilizer to get throughout
the fuel-injection components. This simple process has
worked for over a decade, and every summer when I rip
things apart for cleaning the fuel system, all parts have
remained relatively gunk free.
For carburetors, shut the petcock off and either drain the
fuel float bowls, or run engine until its starved for gas.
7. Inflate Tires to Correct Pressure:
This is simple; if you want your tires to retain their
proper shape, inflate them to the correct pressure before
storage. Also, if you are storing the bike on the tires,
rotate each wheel once a month to prevent flat spots.
And grab yourself a good gauge; you’d be surprised at
how off some cheaper gauges are.
Nobody has more Fun than “G”!
GWRRA Chapter NH-G The Lakes Region Wings Newsletter
8. Store on Centerstand and/or Stands if Possible:
If your bike has a centerstand, use it during storage.
If you can get both wheels off the ground, this would
provide the most optimal situation for storage.
These techniques keep the tires off the ground,
preventing the need to rotate to reduce flat spots (though
still inflate to proper pressure to retain shape). It also
keeps the suspension unloaded, which helps suspension
longevity.
Page 12
10. Store in Well-Ventilated Area with No Open
Contaminants Present:
The most ideal situation is a well-ventilated area
anywhere indoors. This keeps air circulating, and no
moisture from building up inside the cover. Also, make
sure there are no open fertilizers or other chemicals
around the bike. If present, these chemicals can speed
up corrosion.
11. Forget These Storage Tips:
9. Use the Correct Cover:
Never use plastic to cover your motorcycle during
storage; it traps moisture, causing corrosion and mold
issues. Many companies make breathable covers that are
affordable. And if you’re very serious about corrosion,
and want to go that extra step, there are innovate covers
such as the Zerust Motorcycle Cover I began using last
winter.
Ride safe,
Yep, simply forget these storage tips, and convince the
significant other that the bike needs to reside in the
living room. If you’re one of the few luck ones, this is
the most ideal situation for any beloved motorcycle…

“DECISIONS, DECISIONS”
by Ace (Howie) Peterson
Guest Educator CO-Q
This article is going to cover two different segments
pertaining to motorcycle safety, using information from
articles by two different motorcycle instructors. The title
of the article could actually be “Keith Code and Eric Trow
strike again”! Both had articles in their latest publication
that were in some areas on my scope of subjects to write
about, yet just did not get these subjects written as of yet.
Hence, these two fellows got ahead of me, as happens from
time to time. Keith Code writes for Motorcyclist magazine,
and Eric Trow for Rider magazine. To keep myself out of
trouble, I will be stating quotes in parenthesis during the
article of course, and I credit these fellows for those parts of
the article ahead from time to time. In essence, this article
is going to look a little different in format as I attempt to
piece several areas of data together in hopefully a readable
context. So bear with me folks!
Keith Code’s article is entitled “Caught in the Crossfire”
addresses decisions, or in reality indecisions. One comment
I have made in past articles relating to similar wording is
this; even making no decision at all is still a decision! The
reader may have to think about that statement a little, but the
reality should come home mentally sooner or later. Keith
Code: “When two or more actions or ideas overlap
in importance, one-or all- will suffer the crossfire of
indecision”. We face the necessity of decision making
all the time while riding, whether making turns, passing
vehicles, avoiding hazards, and more actions. In essence,
our total riding experience is about decision making and the
danger we face of which Keith is talking about, is becoming
indecisive at the wrong time, or making no decision at all,
perhaps liking this to a “brain freeze”. The result is or
could be hazardous to our continued good health. Keith
Code: “Poor results more often occur when indecision
eats up the available time and space to act”. This can
be as simple as missing the apex or “turn in” point entering
a curve, making the rider take action(s) to safely complete
the curve operation. Keith points out that indecision could
result in what is termed “running wide” in the corner which
can have immediate and disastrous results.
Wrong decisions or indecision result in several important
results, especially when repeated over time. Keith Code:
“indecision breeds compromise; indecision breeds more
indecision and indecision results in loss of confidence”.
Keith again: “indecision consumes precious time,
distance, and focus, and can change any riding situation
into a knife’s edge of uncertainty”. This is where training,
and more importantly retraining, plus active use of such
training comes into play with our motorcycle activities.
You have read my statement made by other instructors that
states, “our skill levels start to deteriorate the moment we
leave the range”, and this will make our level of decision, or
indecision extremely important as to how we ride, the ability
to ride correctly, and to ride safely. Many of the riding
decisions we make as riders seem to come naturally, and
that is one of the neat things about competent motorcycling.
It is when the 800 pound gorilla jumps up in front of us
that we need the ability to one, make a decision, and two,
make the correct decision, every time! That may seem like
a harsh statement, but consider the alternative(s).
Our next little discussion comes from Eric Trow, whose
column Riding Well this month has a real eye opener for a
title. “Would you ride with you”? I have rode as a co-rider
twice, for very short distances, and those riders who have
also done this will admit it can be a mentally scary thing
to take part of, not perhaps as in something happening, but
not having control! I have made the following comment
before, and it is not my own as I borrowed it from others;
co-riders are the bravest people in the world! Think about
what we teach in co-rider seminars, and then attempt to
visualize sitting on the rear seat while traveling our famous
mountain roads. When I read the title to the article, I had a
real epiphany, you betcha! Just think over all the rides each
of us have been on, focusing on the good, the bad, and the
Nobody has more Fun than “G”!
GWRRA Chapter NH-G The Lakes Region Wings Newsletter
ugly happenings on those rides, and I do believe it could or
at least should make a big difference in our riding habits.
Eric Trow: “It’s faster from behind”. “I’m told that
the back of a motorcycle travels at a higher velocity
than the front. As a passenger, the ride seems faster,
and more aggressive. Things appear closer and move
more rapidly, and as they do, our rearward rider can
become uncomfortable”. How often is the riding comfort,
physically and mentally addressed for our co-riders have
we heard in our seminars? How about enjoyment of the
ride, their feelings of safety affecting our riding style, and
methods!
Eric Trow: “Things are rougher back there”. “Beyond
the sensation of speed, routine operations like
acceleration, braking, and gear changes can be abrupt
and jarring for a co-rider, making even a short ride
tiring and uncomfortable”. These apply once again to the
feeling not only of riding pleasure, but the feeling of riding
safety, and confidence in the rider as well.
Eric Trow: “Whose ride is it”? This question directs
us back to the co-rider seminar as to the planning and corider input for the ride. Is all the information pertaining
to the ride to be shared or is it beyond the co-riders “pay
Page 14
grade”? Such common things such as appropriate stops for
rest areas, gasoline, and food need to be shared information,
or attended to in the appropriate time frames, once again
keeping the ride comfortable, and enjoyable.
Eric Trow: “Do you have a “passenger” or a “second
rider”? We all have heard the adage, seen the shirt that
states; get on, hang on, and shut up! The “second rider”, our
co-rider, again as we have discussed time after time, is our
second pair of eyes, and ears. The “second rider” works in
harmony with the rider during the ride assisting the rider on
various data inputs, and checking on the “wellbeing” of the
rider as the ride progresses. Sound familiar?
Eric Trow: “Would you”? This applies to our willingness
to become a co-rider even for a short distance. “We often
invite others to ride with us (co-riders), expecting those
individuals to put tremendous trust in our ability to keep
them out of harm’s way”. “With that in mind, take an
honest look at your approach to riding, your skill level
and your willingness to put your riding mate first”. And
then the kicker; “Then, before inviting that person to
hop onboard, ask yourself….would you ride with you”?
AND AS ALWAYS, RIDE WITH PRIDE AND
CONFIDENCE!

Nighttime Drivings’s
Visual Challenges - Part 2
by Nick Hoppner
Colorado Motorist Awareness Coordinator
In last month’s article, we pointed out that with autumn’s
arrival, fewer daylight hours and more nighttime hours make
driving more hazardous for all motorists (and motorcyclists).
We discussed some of the limitations the human eye has
when darkness conspires against one’s ability to see—our
primary sensory receptors when driving at night.
Most of us would do well to be reminded that the process
of dark adaptation takes time. Plunge into a dark tunnel at
midday and you’re close to blind for the first 100 yards.
Gradually your eyes adapt, but you’ve essentially been
driving blind at highway speeds for the length of a football
field—not a confident feeling!
When driving at night, it’s important to know that one’s
eyes are automatically drawn to areas that contain a great
deal of information. That’s why you tend not to spend a
lot of time scanning darkened, open fields (where critters
typically lurk). Instead, your eyes are drawn to signs, lights,
sidewalk strollers, flickering or flashing reflectors, and
objects that are very large or are moving. Even an object
as conspicuous as a large motorcycle about to enter a cross
street may be overlooked because a driver’s eyes are drawn
to a large, flashing casino sign in the distance—even though
the motorcycle might be an imminent collision hazard
whereas the casino sign is immobile!
Of course, the most common stimulus that can alter a
driver’s dark adaptation is the glare from the headlights
of oncoming traffic. Obviously, one should avoid letting
the eyes dwell on the oncoming headlights, deflecting the
vision down and to the right to the “fog” line.
It’s instructive to know a little about the illumination cast
by an automobile’s headlights. Virtually every car has high
beam and low beam headlights. High beams are intended
for use when oncoming traffic is absent; low beams cast
enough illumination for safe driving without creating glare
for oncoming traffic. Low beam illumination patterns are
carefully set by headlight and vehicle manufacturers.
(Incidentally, motorcycle headlights produce approximately
the same amount of light as a single automobile light.
Therefore, bikes with a single headlight produce about 50%
less illumination than most automobiles!)
Just as many factors can reduce the effectiveness of the
operator’s vision, so too many factors can reduce illumination
or increase the glare affecting the same operator. Many
older vehicles have badly adjusted headlights, casting their
beams awry. (In a survey of vehicles four or more years
old, only 25% to 30% had both low-beams aimed within
SAE limits.) Many also have clouded, scratched or filthy
headlight lenses decreasing their total illumination output.
And under wet or slushy conditions, most cars have their
useful illumination reduced by more than a half. Let’s not
even guess at how ineffective one’s headlights are in dense
fog or a blinding snowstorm!
Currently fashionable tinted windshields also reduce visible
light transmitted through the glass. A clear glass windshield,
installed at an angle of 60 degrees from vertical, will
transmit about 80% of the light passing through the glass
parallel to the ground. A tinted windshield will transmit
about 68% under identical conditions. Stylishly dark side
windows effectively eliminate a driver’s peripheral vision.
There’s still more to share about factors that make nighttime
driving challenging, so stay tuned. We’ll be back next
month with more. Meanwhile, we hope you’ll share some
of these insights with your friends and neighbors who don’t
ride motorcycles. As motorists, they need all the awareness
they can get too!
