We made our goal for the raffle and then some. Thanks to all of you who sold and/or bought tickets! We’ll be doing a little something special for the active members soon to show our appreciation. A final thank you to Clawson’s Motorsports, Madera Honda Suzuki, Streetmasters, Larry and Linda Jenkins and Mikey V’s Restaurant for their kind and generous donations! Also a quick shout out to chapter CA-1L and the District Directors for showing up and supporting our event, thank you guys! This month, with the weather finally cooling down, we have a few rides planned. I think Dan has an article or two this month so I won’t get into the details but think about coming along with us. We have a great time and the more who attend, the more fun it is. We’ll be going on rides on the 4th and 11th as well as Chapter Rallies in Sonora on the 18th and San Diego on the 25th. That’s a full month of riding folks! We’re in the planning stages of the Christmas party and are looking for ideas for games. If you have any ideas please share them with Teri or Paty. Speaking of Paty we’re very glad to see she’s on the mend and was able to attend our Team Meeting in September. We were also glad to see Mike Machado out and about even though he was still on crutches. I’m sure I’m not the only one hoping to see you both at 100% soon. Words from our chapter directors Steve and Teri Rippe Teri and I will be stepping down as Chapter Directors effective the end of December. Fortunately we’ve been able to find some great replacements in Larry and Linda Jenkins. We’re still going to be around and helping out where we can so you’re not getting rid of us completely….sorry. Even though I can’t say it’s been all fun and games, we’ve learned a lot and met a ton of great people and neither of us regrets taking the job. The most rewarding aspect has been the new friends we’ve gotten to know and the old friends we’ve gotten to know better. If you ever have a chance to step up to a leadership position, leap for it! A devout rancher, let’s call him Richard, lost his favorite Bible while he was out mending fences. Three weeks later, a wolf walked up to him carrying the Bible in its mouth. Richard couldn't believe his eyes. He took the precious book out of the wolf's mouth, raised his eyes heavenward and exclaimed, "It's a miracle!" "Not really," said the wolf. "Your name is written inside the cover." What did the grape say when the wolf growled? Nothing it just let out a little wine. Steve and Teri Rippe Chapter Directors CA-2W Words from our Assistant chapter directors Larry and LindyJenkins September is over What a month. It started out at California District Event in Agoura Hill, California. We arrived on Thursday night August 28, 2014 and that was the last time we rested. On Friday afternoon we were competing for California Couple of the Year. The competition started out with meeting two judges in four different table groups. After that we had to give a presentation in front a group of people and judges. Then the wait to see if we won. We did not win the contest but it was fun to trying. Also, Friday night was the California Newsletter Editor contest. There was 6 or 7 editors competing for the title. Then it was down to three, then two and finally the winner was announce. You guess it-- it was Larry Jenkins from CA-2W. Saturday was the Master Breakfast that we attended. Note for the last two years the Master Breakfast is open to all motorcycle riders that are in the riders education level program. The information was very helpful and Teri Rippe was happy that she attended because she won the 50/50 money. Then at 11:00 am it was time for Larry to teach a leadership class. Lindy attended the class which was on Managing Change. Saturday after Lindy was hanging out in the vendor area and in the room. Larry sold tickets for our rally. Saturday night was the ice cream social and lighted bike show. Words from our Assistant chapter directors Larry and LindyJenkins Sunday was Amazing Team Challenge which was about 2 hours in the back parking lot timing the riders and counting up scores. After lunch Lindy went swimming and Larry sold more tickets for our rally. Larry started out with a goal to sell 30 tickets, then raise the goal to 50 tickets, then 75 tickets and finally hitting over 100 tickets sold. Sunday night was the dinner and show. The hypnotist was great, food was good and we had a very good time. Note this was the first time we attended a District Event and did not win any door prizes, grand prizes or cash. We had a very good time at the District Event and next year event you should make every effort to attend. District needs chapter members to stay in the provided hotel rooms, attend the shows/dinner/breakfast and purchase the 50/50 tickets for the drawing. The cost of the event, the cost of the meeting rooms, vendor rooms, the ice cream social and any other cost associated with doing an event is offset by chapter members staying in the hotel. If the district does not get enough people staying in the hotel or attending the paid events, then the district could lose money. Next year event will be on Labor Day weekend (September 37, 2015). Please start making plans to attend. Words from our Assistant chapter directors Larry and LindyJenkins That was only the first weekend. The first Saturday was our Event. It started out at Clawson's Honda, then to Madera Honda Suzuki and then up to Coarsegold to Miner Grill for lunch and to finish up the event. We want to thank everyone that purchased tickets, the member that sold tickets and attended the event, members from Chapter CA-1L from San Luis Obispo, California and our District Directors for attending the event. The second weekend was off to San Luis Obispo, California to personally thank CA-1L for attending our event by attending their chapter gathering at I-HOP. Now it is September 19, 2014 and we are off to San Bernardino, California to attend CA-1M (Cows) event in Redlands, California. The Cows had always supported our chapter and we will always return the favor. The Cows event was on Saturday September 20, 2014. Now it is September 26, 2014 and we are off to Hesperia, California to spent two nights at the Holiday Inn and attend two different events. The first was on Saturday September 27, 2014 for Chapter CA-1Z in Rainbow, California (Temecula, California) and the second was on Sunday September 28, 2014 in Victorville, California for CA-1V. Both events were very fun and you should join us next year. Also on Saturday night we had a group meet at the Farmer Brother Restaurant for dinner. We got home late Sunday afternoon. It looks like October will not give us any rest either. Drive safe, Larry and Lindy Jenkins Assistant Chapter Directors. Words from our District directors Vincent and Pamela Puterbaugh 2014 District Rally Last month California held its District Rally at Agoura Hills and, thanks to the amazing support of our volunteers, it was a resounding success. For those of you that attended, you saw how many different people were involved and proved once again the adage that “many hands make light work”. Our amazing sponsors, Dunlop Tires, JBJ, Law Tigers, and SkyMed provided 4 sets of tires as grand prizes and StreetMasters provided a gift certificate to their school. Then Misty Johnson of Dunlop surprised us with an additional set of tires at opening ceremonies. We would like to extend special recognition to a few of the instructors that worked under some restrictive conditions: our newest Trike Instructor, Shirley Machado and her mentor John Boman, and ARC Instructors Jerry Cowen and Dave Gormley, all 4 of whom had to teach on modified ranges without the benefit of being able to set up before the morning of the class; a true testament to their teaching ability. A special thank you to Ruth Burke for doing such a incredible job on our T-shirts and to Mike Burke, our District Educator who made sure all of the Rider Education components came off flawlessly. Also thank you to Mike and Ruth for handling the Couple and Individual of the Year Programs. Showing us how truly amazing and adaptive they can be, the Gold Angels performed their entire show on a shortened field which gave the audience a very up-close and personal experience and a new perspective on just how skilled these riders truly are. Gator even thrilled us with a new trick and everyone was so impressed that we hope he makes it a regular part of the show! Words from our District directors Vincent and Pamela Puterbaugh 2014 District Rally On Saturday, we had over 20 bikes head out on a ride lead by Ken Freeland and more than one member familiar with the area said that they went on roads they didn’t even know existed. The CD Forum was well attended as 38 members shared ideas and not surprisingly, when one chapter expressed a need there was always another chapter also expressing a similar concern. The beauty of this networking experience is that there is always someone who has been there, done that, survived it and could offer advice. Later that afternoon we discovered that the Reno Rendezvous is not an actual GWRRA event, but, rather, just an event where GWRRA is one of the sponsors. Many of the members were disappointed that it was not a Wing Ding for the West, but it did make it easier to decide which event to attend for those that could not make it to Reno and also to the Region Convention which is being held just a few weeks prior on Memorial Day weekend in Tucson, Arizona. Personally, we applaud home office for sponsoring an event targeting the Harley-Davidson and sport-bike riding community. For years, we have been experiencing declining membership and have known that if we don’t do something to attract new and younger members, eventually we may all become outriders. Being self employed, we will not be able to make Reno next year, but if any of you do go, please send us pictures we can share in our newsletter. Words from our District directors Vincent and Pamela Puterbaugh 2014 District Rally Closing ceremonies was preceded by a hilarious hypnotist show and any shred of selfrespect that Anita Alkire and the other participants had was graciously sacrificed for everyone else’s entertainment (look for the video at the Officer’s Conference in January). At closing ceremonies, Kevin Griffith drew two tickets for the $1,250 Best Buy gift cards he donated to the District with one card drawn from all of the Grand Prize tickets and the other one from those that paid for the dinner show. Kevin’s generous contribution guaranteed that the convention was a financial success and he has promised to do it again next year. October still holds a couple of Chapter Rallies: Saturday the 18th at CA2N and Saturday the 25th at CA1F. Pam and I will be there at both of these and we hope you will too and, by the way, kudos to CA2W on the success of their event. By thinking out of the box, they ended up netting more money this year than in any previous year. Until next month, ride well and ride often. -Vincent and Pamela Puterbaugh Words from our chapter Educators Shirley and Joe Machado Road Captain's Job: Preparing for a group ride When a number of motorcyclists are invited for a group ride, the riders/co-riders gather at the appointed time and place, often without knowing their specific destination or route from that point on. The Road Captain for that ride will have a route in mind for the ride. He or she will usually have pre-ridden the route within the past week in order to look for construction, road surface problems and other situations which might affect the safety of those who are participate. The Road Captain will appoint or volunteer experienced riders to serve as Lead Bike, depending on the total number of bikers and the number of groups required. Each Lead Bike will then select a person to ride as Drag Bike for that group. The other riders will determine which group they are going to ride in. If there is an inexperienced rider along the Road Captain will usually ask the Lead Bike to make suggestions on group positioning. The Lead Bike should determine roughly the experience level of each rider in his or her group before departing. They will put the rider with the least experience in the group riding immediately in front of the Drag Bike in the slot position. If the last open position before the Drag Bike is not a slot, the least experienced rider should be in the last slot position available, away from oncoming traffic. Words from our chapter Educators Shirley and Joe Machado Road Captain's Job: Preparing for a group ride The Road Captain will usually provide a Route Memo or will have copies of maps/directions to give the members of the group (this should be supplied to the Lead Bikes if not to all riders). The Road Captain will have a rough idea of times and distances to be traveled. He or she will give suggestions for rest stops, food and gas, etc. The Road Captain will have out emergency medical information forms and release of liability forms for sponsored rides. The forms will be filled out and signed before the rides starts. He or she will then conduct a short riders' meeting to establish that each group has a designated Lead and Drag Bike. He or she will to review group riding guidelines briefly, to alert the reders of potential hazards, to discuss communications within and between the groups. Also will review hand signals if there are riders without CB's and to answer any questions about the ride. The Road Captain may or may not lead a group himself, and if fact may not accompany the riders at all once the ride is underway. Words from our chapter Educators Shirley and Joe Machado Road Captain's Job: Preparing for a group ride If there are several groups of riders, the Road Captain expects all Lead Bikes to follow the route which as been laid out and not to initiate charges in the route except in an emergency. In case of problems that require emergency personnel or re-tracing a route to find a disabled rider or part of a group which has gotten lost, it is much easier to locate the person(s) sought if all groups follow the some path to their common destination. It is not unusual for groups for riders to be separated by serveral miles and to find themselves out of CB range from other groups during a long trip on in heavy traffic. It is also not unusual for groups to break up briefly in traffic, requiring a station-keeping rider to serve a Lead Bike or Drag Brike for a fragment of a group, for short time. Words from our chapter Educators Shirley and Joe Machado Rider's Job: Preparing for a group ride Riders are expected to arrive on time at the departure point with a full tank of gas, in proper attire for the conditions, and physically ready to ride (restroom stop made, medications packed if needed, sober and alert). Motorcycle endorsements and insurance should be up to date. All bike should be street-legal condition. The Road Captain may ask rider not to join a group ride if there basic conditions are not met (for example, if a rider is drunk or a bike in mechanically unfit to ride). If a rider brings a co-rider (a passerger) for a group ride, he or she is expected to manage and attend to that passenger's needs personally, before the riders' meeting. The following gridelines are suggested for preparing a co-rider for a group ride: Do not permit a co-rider to mount the motorcycle until all riding gear is on and fastened securely (beware of outside pockets!). The coriders should not mount until the rider is seated and holding the motorcycle vertically. Then and only after the rider nods that he or she is ready for the co-rider, the co-rider should get on the bike. The co-riders should avoid contact with hot exhaust pips. Should not wiggling out of position once seated. Should not shouting or making sudden movements of the upper body during the ride. The passenger's feet should remain on the pegs or floorboards designed for them at all times, until disembarking. Words from our chapter Educators Shirley and Joe Machado Rider's Job: Preparing for a group ride A co-riders needs to know generally what he she should and should not expect in terms of comfort and safety considerations. If the co-rider wishes to communicate with the rider, the rider should explain how to do this: by thumping on the rider's head, by intercom or shouting in the rider's ear! Also will the co-rider be responsible for copying had signals given by the rider to other riders in the group? Suggested jobs for the co-rider during the ride: watch out in traffic for anything that may detract from a safe ride: two pairs of eyes are better that one. Do not assist the rider by leaning in turns, but look over the rider's inside shoulder on curves. Wave at all there bikers, children, anyone who shows interest in the riders, and law enforcement officeres on their feet. and-- Smile! In group riding, if the rider (with or without a co-rider) wisher to show down or stop during the ride, for any reason whatsoever, he she may drop out the ride. If at any time a co-rider becomes uncomfortable during the ride and wants the rider to slow down or stop, for any reason whatsoever, the rider should be prepared to do so as quickly and as safety as possible. It is courteous to notifly or signal to the other riders in the group before doing this unless it is not convenient or possible to do so. Unless the Drag Bike clearly understands the reason for a rider's decision to drop out, normally the Drag Bike will notify the Lead Bike of a problem and will stop with the rider who is stopping, to render aid if needed, or to determine his intentions about rejoining the group ride.

Sorry Larry (CA2W super news letter editor) Life threw me a couple of challenges. I had to have brain surgery, so riding was definitely out of the question for a while. I am still working on getting back to normal (well, as normal as I was) My husband deserves a medal. I do not handle pain well, so he had to put up with a big baby. He had to make sure I did what I had to and I am sure that was not fun or easy. He is the BEST husband ever. I also want to say a big Thank You to my chapter. When I felt down and not too happy, a bunch of my pack came over with pizza and lots of laughter to cheer me up. Laughter is such good medicine. I really think that the laughter helped me to heal faster. Thank you Wolf Pack. My first major outing after surgery was to attend the District Rally in Agoura Hills. I do Love a Rally. Fun and Friends. I get to see friends that I have known for 20 plus years. If you have never been to a Rally you are missing a really good time. As MEC I would like to talk about some of the perks due us as GWRRA members. I was perusing the Gold Book (also a perk) and I discovered that GWRRA offers members a VISA card. This was news to me so I thought I would share this information with those of you might not know. A no annual fee rewards program, low introductory APR on purchases and no balance transfer fees for 6 months, along with a competitive interest rate card. They offer 3 card designs OR you can upload your favorite picture of your Gold Wing. Check it out at http:// www.cardpartner.com/app/gwrrs.

Shaw Avenue Fresno, CA 93711 (559) 224-1181 Casual Dinning , Major Credits Cards Accepted, Price range $15.00-$25.00 Outback Steakhouse is an Australian themed steakhouse restaurant. Although beef and steak items make up a good portion of the menu, the concept offers a variety of chicken, ribs, seafood, and pasta dishes. The Company's strategy is to differentiate its restaurants by emphasizing consistently high-quality food and service, generous portions at moderate prices and a casual atmosphere suggestive of the Australian Outback. If there is some place that you would like to have a social, please look into the restaurant. We need a restaurant that will bill separate tags for our members, has a large enough space for 12-25 people in an area together, would take major credit cards, not to loud in the restaurant so we can talk to each other and the prices run about $10-$25 per meal. We will travel but remember that some of our member are from the south valley which is 50 miles to Fresno. Please summit your restaurant ideas to Steve or Teri Rippe. Also we would like to have Friday night out every month. Now a Friday night out is a very casual place to eat. We are looking for meals under $10.00 each. A place where you walk up, order, pay, pick up your meal and sit where you want.
