FROM THE DESK OF THE CDs
Bob & Barbara Dowdy
By the time you will read this
newsletter, all but the CA1C
rally in California will have
taken place. We hope you
were able to attend several
of them, it is our support to
them that is returned to support our own rally. Last year
we were given a lot of compliments on the location and
how well it was handled, by
you, that we will do it again
in 2015 at the same location.
The ride to get there will be
different, a bit longer, more
inland, details are to be
worked out on that part, but
the BBQ and finish will be at
the Shamel park in Cambria.
Aside from our Chapter
gatherings at IHOP, we have
little scheduled on the Chapter calendar for the remainder of the year. This leaves
us the opportunity to have
impromptu rides. If you are
going for an outing, contact a
Chapter friend and share the
experience. We will have a
ride planning meeting in the
early part of next year and
will be filling the calendar of
places to visit for our riding
pleasure.
Your input is
needed and will be welcomed. This will apply to the
Chapter dinners also. We
have had a good selection
for 2014, lets add some different ones for 2015. Email
us, jot them down on a card
or note pad. All your inputs
will be considered.
Our
next
scheduled
Chapter events in 2014 will
be the Chapter Christmas
party/pot luck on the 6th of
December @ 4:00pm at the
Crawford's house and on the
13th will be the Vine Street
walk in Paso @ 6:00pm and
after-walk refreshments at
the Dowdy's. Check out the
Chapter calendar on the
Chapter website. It is updated by Chris regularly and is
a good source of information. As I check it today,
the November dinner ride is
scheduled the day before
Thanksgiving. Don't think it
is going to happen, and neither will there be one in December as it would be on
Christmas eve. Writing this
article becomes a wakeup
call to me that the holidays
are just around the corner.
(I'm not ready for that!) The
New Years Day Ride on Jan
1 is planned.
In last month's newsletter
it was stated that the money
spent for Christmas gifts in
the exchange would be $25$30, in the past it was $20,
we will stay with the past value of $20.00.
Our many thanks to the
members and supporters
that carried on the Chapter
business while Barb and I
were out of town. We have
had reports of our members
covering our meeting, two
dinner rides and the rallies of
CA1Z, CA1V and CA2N and
those are only the things we
are aware of, I'm sure there
are things that happen we
don't know about. It is great
to know we have so many
qualified people that are willing to step up and help in
time of need.
Our next gathering will be
on November the 8th, at
IHOP in SLO. Meeting starts
at 8:30am, come earlier for
breakfast and visiting.

Thanksgiving
Every year I prattle on
about how fall is my favorite time of the year
and this year is no exception. Last month we got
to enjoy the turning of the
leaves as we partied with
the Frogs of CA-2N in Sonora.
The following
week, we had the honor
of installing Crystal Richardson as the new CoChapter Director of CA1F at their annual event.
The final weekend of October found us in Tucson
enjoying the best that Arizona has to offer. All told,
we travelled over 2,000
miles and loved every
one of them! This month,
we have our final rally of
the year with the Coyotes
of CA-1C and, hopefully,
we will see all of you
there!
With Thanksgiving just a
few weeks away, we are
faced with the opportunity
to reflect upon the things
the way are most thankful
for and the first thing
comes to mind is the ability to share all of the travels with my wife and best
friend. A year ago, I underwent surgery on my
right ankle and my leg
has not been strong
enough to ride two-up this
year. Despite rehabbing
this injury, one if not both
of us, we were able to attend every Chapter Rally,
the California Operations
Meeting, the southern
California Horizon’s Training class, the California
and Arizona District Rallies, the Region F Rally,
and Wing Ding in Madison, Wisconsin.
From the Oregon border
to the Mexican border
and from the Pacific
Ocean to the Dells of
Wisconsin, we travelled
over 15,000 miles just attending GWRRA events
and the friends we got to
spend time with and the
memories we made are
definitely things Princess
and I are thankful for.
Having spent more week-
ends away than at home
this year, we are thankful
to spend a few weekends
with our dogs at home
and, come Thanksgiving
Day, the two of us, our
dogs, and our children
will be gathered around
the table together to celebrate Thanksgiving as a
family.
Regardless of
whether you are spending
the holiday with family
members or riding with
your GWRRA family or
doing something altogether different, we hope you
will take at least a few
minutes to reflect on
whatever things you are
thankful for this year.
Until next month, ride well
and ride often.

“Rain” is a four-letter Word
by Robert Vaughan
rain starts falling. The sole purpose of the tread design on a tire
is to carry off the water, but it
can’t do its job if you don’t allow it
enough tread depth to work with.
Hydroplaning
occurs
when the tires are not in full contact with the road. They ride on a
thin layer of water, and sometimes oil, on the road. Hydroplaning occurs frequently in light mist
or drizzle. Proper tread depth
and tire pressures, slowing down,
and riding in the tracks of other
vehicles all help reduce the
chance of hydroplaning. The cessation of a slushing sound, or
any decrease in steering or braking may indicate hydroplaning. If
this happens, slow down without
braking and avoid any sudden
moves.
Plan alternate routes in
case of rain. Scenic, twisty asphalt roads are a lot of fun when
it’s dry. When the rain starts to
pour, the scenery turns gray, the
turns aren’t nearly as much fun,
and the asphalt doesn’t provide
the traction you really need. It’s
time to look for an alternate route
along a duller, but straighter,
concrete road.
Once it starts raining,
there are still things you can do
to increase your safety, if not
your comfort. Pull off the road as
soon as you find a place to get
out of the rain. This gives you a
dry place to put on your highvisibility
rainsuit,
One word that can raise the
hackles on the neck of any rider
is “rain.” Though no one goes out
riding just because it’s raining,
you do get stuck in the rain at
times. What can you do to improve your riding in the rain?
The first things you can do are
done well ahead of the first few
drops of rain. Much as you hate
to think about it, selecting and
purchasing a rainsuit is something that must be done. A rainsuit should serve two purposes.
First, it should keep you dry. Second, and equally important, it
should increase your visibility.
When your evasive maneuverability is reduced by lack of traction, you want to be sure other
drivers see you.
Maintaining all your lights
also helps you to be seen in the
rain. Of course, you keep your
lights clean, but have you
checked all your lights lately to
see if any have burned out? Do
you carry any spares with you?
Next time you take your bike in
for service, why not restock any
spare bulbs you might be missing? You should stock spare fuses as well.
The other important part
that needs maintaining ahead of
time is your tires. Have you
looked at them lately? If any of
the wear bands are showing, it’s
time to replace the tire.
One of the major causes of hydroplaning is See You In The
worn tires. It’s too late
Kevin
to check them after the
Curve.
and more important, it puts you
off the road during the most dangerous first fifteen minutes of
rain. When the water first enters
the pores of the road, it forces up
the oil that has been collecting
there. A few more minutes of rain
will wash this oil off the road.
Though the main danger
of rain is hydroplaning, increasing your following distance, taking curves more slowly, and increasing your scanning distance
all help your rain riding.
Riding in the rain may never be
pleasant, but it can be safer.

How Motorcycle Riding Improves Physical Health
By Dr. Pamela
Reilly
This article is dedicated to every rider who’s sick to death of
those “motorcycles are so dangerous” conversations, to every mother who’s convinced her
son or daughter is insane for
riding, and for anyone who
needs a really good excuse to
go out and buy a bike. The
bottom line is that riding a motorcycle is a form of low-impact
exercise that improves muscle
tone, can assist with weight
loss, and has a multitude of
health benefits. These health
benefits include but are not
limited to:
Healthier, stronger knees
and thighs: A wellknown orthopaedic surgeon in Indy once told
me that motorcycle riders have fewer knee
problems because riding a bike strengthens
key muscles used to
hold the patella and other bones in the knee in
place. He told me that
riding a motorcycle may
reverse knee pain and
problems and can most
definitely prevent them.
Most of the key muscles
used to hold knee
bones in place reside in
the thigh. Ever notice
that chicks that ride
bikes have nice thighs?
There’s a reason! Additionally, backing a bike
into a parking spot, especially uphill, is basically like doing leg
presses with a 600
pound weight. It works!
.
Improved core strength:
Again, all of the activities involved in steering
a bike, moving it at slow
speeds, etc., serve to
strengthen muscles in
the abdomen. It’s more
fun that situps!!
.
Increased insulin sensitivity: Because riding a
motorcycle is a lowimpact form of exercise,
people who ride have
improved insulin sensitivity for up to eight
hours after a ride. Improved insulin sensitivity
has a profound impact
on weight loss, because
insulin is a fat storage
hormone. Having improved insulin sensitivity
means your body will
produce less insulin to
counteract carbohydrates or to lower blood
sugars, which means
your body will be signaled to store less fat.
The improved insulin
sensitivity is also of
great importance to anyone with Type 2 diabetes.
Calorie burning: Riding a bike
burns calories. Period. Getting
everything ready for a ride
takes time and burns calories,
but there’s more. Think about it
… it requires effort while riding
to maintain balance, shift,
brake, control the clutch, battle
headwinds, etc., and that’s AFTER you burn calories backing
the bike out of the garage!
Riding into a headwind burns a
significant amount of calories
as your body tenses muscles
to fight the wind and stay on
the bike. This constant resistance exercise not only
burns calories but serves to
strengthens those muscles,
which ultimately increases
your metabolism.
(Article

Kathy’s MEC page)
on
MEMBERSHIP ENHANCEMENT COORDINATOR
Kathy Boyd & Lightning
Continued from Doc’s ACD page
Additionally, the physical effort
exerted while turning, especially at higher speeds, can be
significant. Folks who ride motocross or race motorcycles
can burn up to 600 calories
per hour; the rest of us burn
around 200-300 calories per
hour. Not bad!
(Note to passengers: You
burn zero calories per
hour while riding passenger on a cruiser,
and potentially up to 50
calories per hour while
riding passenger on a
sport bike. Maybe it’s
time to consider getting
your own bike!)
Improved neck strength:
This one is limited to those riders who wear helmets and
those who have taken the time
to properly fit themselves to
their bike with the correct handle bars, seat, foot pegs, etc.
Riding a bike that doesn’t “fit”
well can actually cause back
pain and destroy proper alignment. Make sure your bike fits
you! Wearing a helmet for a
few hours a day would
strengthen your neck whether
you ride or not. Wearing it
while riding, especially if you
don’t have a windshield to
shelter you from the wind, requires significant strength. I’m
happy to say, much to my chiropractor’s chagrin, I was able
to reverse whiplash simply by
riding my bike and wearing a
helmet. (I never ride without
one.) Strengthening my neck
muscles served to pull my
neck vertebrae back into alignment and back into the proper
curvature. That is a therapy I
can
live
with!!!
.
Mental outlook: Motorcycle riders usually report
returning from a ride
feeling energized and
happy. Many riders refer to their motorcycle
as their “therapist.” Riding a motorcycle has a
wonderful way of releasing endorphins that
serve to boost mood
and improve outlook.
The time spent on a
bike also provides valuable sun exposure,
known to increase Vitamin D levels which are
known to be powerful
mood enhancers. Additionally, the hours of
alone time spent on the
back of a bike either
allows folks to completely escape from
their problems or allows
them to work through
problems and consider
issues from different
perspectives. I know
more than one rider
who hops on their bike
and takes a ride when
they have an issue
needing consideration.
(This does not, of
course, apply to issues
causing great distress.)
That’s it! Riding a motorcycle
has
definite
health
advantages, both physical and
emotional. As always, ride
smart. Get thoroughly trained
before starting to ride and then
take time to practice on back
roads before hitting main thoroughfares. Take your time and
don’t try to beat lights or get in
front of slow drivers. As always, NEVER drive while under the influence of alcohol or
drugs. Even one beer can affect reaction time enough to
impair shifting, clutch operation and turning ability. Just
don’t do it.
I’m off to ride.
Ride smart, Ride Safe!
Doc, Kathy and Lightning Boyd
Members’ Rides
This is a new page I’ve started to afford you, the member, an opportunity to showcase your ride.
Simple guidelines to consider:
The picture should be clear and nicely framed, and be free of busy background clutter. It should include only your bike, not your bike in a group of bikes or next to cars, or signs. You and your SO can be in the
picture (behind the bike) but no other people. Don’t submit a picture of your bike with motorcycle clothing or
helmets hanging all over it or anywhere in the picture. Your bike should be clean.
Go out for a ride, stop in several scenic places and think about posing your bike for a beautiful picture.
Think about lighting and shadows. As you look through the viewfinder, think about other things that you see.
Consider the picture of our bike below as inspiration for your photo, or Jeff’s GL1500/6 on the for-sale page.
Include a brief description, i.e., Owner(s), make, model, year, and where the photo was taken. Don’t list
accessories or modifications.

Notes from the Last Gathering.
We had a great October meeting. We had 12 brave souls that risked the "Wicked" weather here for an exciting and raucous gathering. Afterwards Jeff and Laura , Jim and Laura, John Daley, Ken Parmann, Darlene
and
I
rode
to
the
Vintage
Motorcycle
show
at
the
Meadowbrook
Church.
Later we cruised to the Oktoberfest in Nipomo where we perused various booths and dined on
Pulled
Pork
and
steak
sandwiches,
while
listening
to
live
music!
Then the last 5 of us weren't finished YET we rode to Creston via Santa Margarita and #229. Savoring some well needed Ice Tea and Lemonade while planning our camping trip to CA2-N event in Sonora.
What a great time we had in our own backyard. Kevin.

Weekend in Sonora
What a great time was had by
all.
Kevin, Darlene, Laura
and Jeff left Friday morning
going North on Hwy 101 to
San Lucas. Then across Hwy
198, around the fresh wild
boar road kill to Coalinga for
Mexican food at the restaurant we missed on the last trip
to Harris Ranch. We then
headed North up Hwy 33
through
Mendota,
Firebaugh and Dos Palos and
across Hwy 152 to Hwy 59
and North through Merced to
Sonora. Arriving at the Mother Lode Fairgrounds about
4:30 we had our choice of
grass
covered
campsites. About 15 minutes
later Jim Tucker showed up
with a Cherry pie! We got all
three tent trailers setup, food
came out and more fun and
laughs engulfed us. Friday
night was pretty chilly (1703'
elevation) but we endured,
Saturday morning early coffee
was brewed and then as donuts became available at the
CA-2N rally we had those as
well. Doc and Kathy joined us
for the rally, games and ride
from Sonora through Columbia, Murphy's and Angels
Camp. The weather was a
perfect 74 degrees, cloudless
skies and no wind. Some of
the Aspens were just starting
to turn colors. CA-2N saved
some food for us and we
closed down the kitchen. Ken
Parmann who pre-registered
but couldn't attend won the
pre-registration prize (set of
new tires), Doc and I figured
out the trick to the bowling ball
game (back spin on the
ball) and we think Kevin and
Darlene won the road-kill
pickup game with 27 roadkills.
Thanks to Kevin
& Darlene, Laura & Jeff, Doc
& Kathy, Jim, Tom & Hedy,
Dave
Fretwell
and
his
wife, our chapter came in second with most in attendance! Saturday afternoon we
went back up to Columbia and
walked through the old town
exhibits, had ice cream (of
course) and enjoyed the historicality (new word). We had
a member of CA-2W David
Daniel Carr (DD) join us for
the rally ride and Dinner Saturday night and then he slept
on the ground in a spare
sleeping bag (JT's) rather
than risk riding back to Fresno
at night and having a close
encounter of the deer kind.
Sunday saw us leaving our
personal campground and
heading home via Hwy 49 for
a quick stop at Jeff's folks
place in Mariposa and lunch
at the HAPPY BURGER, then
down to Oakhurst for gas and
home by 4:30. Time enough
to unpack, cleanup and relax. We agreed this area
needs more exploring and Jeff
got volunteered to setup a
weekend campout for next
spring so it goes into the 2015
ride planning meeting!
It was a fun weekend and we
are sorry those that couldn't
attend missed out.
You
should make plans next year
to attend this rally, as it is
quickly gaining the reputation
of one the most fun and beautiful areas to visit!
Our thank too those that attended for making this a
memorable weekend!

LET’S TALK SAFETY…
Editor’s note: Every week I receive a short safety essay on my email at work from our corporate safety
officer. Most times it addresses industrial safety issues. From time to time I’ll share some of them with you
when they apply to more than just on-the-job safety. Here’s one on which all of us can benefit.
GENERAL SAFETY - A SINGLE SECOND
It takes a minute to write a safety rule.
It takes an hour to hold a safety meeting.
It takes a week to plan a good safety program.
It takes a month to put that program into operation.
It takes a year to win a safety award.
It takes a lifetime to make a safe worker [and rider].
But it takes only a second to destroy it all - with one accident.
Take the time now to work [and ride] safely and help your fellow employees
[and riders] to be safe.
