Scootin’ Along with CD Rick
Happy November! What happened to October?!!
We had a lot of fun this last month at the Anniversary parties for both Y and F-2. The
first one was Chapter Y - they had some fun games and you need to ask Max Clinger
(AKA Glenn Wagner), “How much does a triple layer cake cost”? They had a cake
auction to raise money for the food pantry. Their Chapter matched the money that was
raised. It was a lot of fun to be part of and watch.
The second one was Chapter F-2; they had their famous “Let’s make a Deal”. It sure
was funny to watch what some people gave up to pick a door. A few of them really
got a zonk, but most received some very nice prizes. It was a fun night.
We had a color ride that was led by Kim. I understand it was a nice ride that just
started out a “little cool” (okay, cold) at the start.
We also had our first card party November 1st - thanks to the Allen’s for opening their
home. We had several people that came out and at least for one, it was their first card
party. It was a fun time. There was even a new card game that some played; it
sounded like they were having a great time.
The December card party will be on Saturday, December 13 at our house, 4348 Regan
Rd, Bay City at 6pm. This will also be our Christmas party. If you wish to participate
in the gift exchange, please bring a new, wrapped gift with a value of at least $10
marked woman or man.
We have two “Meet and Eats” coming up in November. Keep an eye on the calendar
for dates and times.
I know some of you are looking at putting your bikes up for the winter and some just go
south. No matter the case, the fun will not end with the end of the riding season.
I know we are about to enter the hustle and bustle of the Holiday season. Some will be
spending time with families at home and traveling. No matter the category you may fit
in, please take some time to give thanks for all that we have.
Until next time, come out and have fun.

TOPIC: End of Season Cycle Maintenance
Whether the riding season in your area lasts only four or five months, or as long as ten
months, most of us will let our motorcycles remain unridden for a long enough period of
time that it is best to prepare it for a season of rest. November typically brings weather
throughout the northern tier of states that is not very good for motor-cycling. Most parts
of this great country of ours experience two or more months of weather that is not
considered part of the riding season. The air temperature alone gets cold enough to
cause hypothermia without adding the wind chill from sitting atop a motorcycle while
blasting down the road at legal speeds – even at 45 mph. And many areas will have
snow on the ground before the month is out. Some of you may be cold-blooded
enough to prolong the season a few extra weeks, but for most, there is a period each
year when your motorcycle becomes a lonesome friend sitting quietly in the garage.
Before you park it for a season of inactivity, this is a great time to get your end of
season maintenance done. It is recommended that you change the oil and oil filter to
remove contaminants – dirt, deposits, ac-ids and moisture – that can lead to corrosion
inside the engine. Other fluid levels should be checked for proper level. If the fluids are
due for replacement based on miles ridden since the last change (check your manual
and service history), this is a good time to do that and any other maintenance tasks
that you may have been putting off. Your mechanic likely is not very busy at this time of
year. He (she) would probably appreciate your visit, too! And you know your bike will
be better for it. Then when spring comes next year (it is not that far off, after all!), you’ll
be ready to go without a visit to the mechanic before planning your next big ride.
After you get it back from your mechanic, fill the gas tank and add the appropriate
amount of fuel stabilizer (such as Stabil) before parking your Wing. Wash and wax the
bike and inflate the tires. The battery should be disconnected from the motorcycle
(negative terminal first) and trickle charged at least every 30 days, per your Gold Wing
Owner’s Manual. (Refer to your battery charger manual for more charging details.)
Take good care of your Wing, and your Wing will take good care of you!
Ride Smart & Be Safe!
