THE LAKES REGION WINGS
February 2015
Our 27th Year
From the Chapter Director
We’re one month closer to taking our bikes back out of
winter hibernation. As I sit at my computer writing this
article, we are right smack in the middle of the Blizzard of
January 2015. There was no one on the roads on my way
into work, and the phone isn’t ringing here at the dealership.
We had a good turn-out for the January Gathering at my
house on January 10th. There was lots of good food provided
by Chapter G members and we went over the first draft of
the Chapter G 2015 Ride Schedule. I must say, that I had
a little competition for the attention of the attendees as the
TV was on with the Patriots playoff game. Finally though,
the Pats won and we were back to normal. Also welcomed
at the January Gathering were new members Howard and
Debbie Towne, from Alton Bay, NH. We look forward to
having them on upcoming rides this summer.
The February Chapter Gathering will be on February 14th
at Bob and Beryl Reids house in Alexandria starting at 6
PM. Look for the directions to their house later on in this
newsletter.
The 23rd of January had myself and Bob and Beryl Reid
heading down to Chapter NH-A’s Gathering down in
Manchester. We had a good time and saw an excellent video
which Bob will be showing at our February Gathering.
On the 24th of January, Chapter G held its Bowling Night at
Fun Spot in Laconia. We had a terrific turn-out considering
that it was snowing outside. Dave Bolster and Glen and
Laura Daniels came up from Chapter NH-A to bowl with
us. They started out bowling 10 pin and then switched over
to Candlepin. Dave mentioned that the candlepin balls felt
very light after bowling with the big 10 pin balls. From
Chapter G there was myself , John and Carole Sheehan, Bob
and Kathy Bielawa, Bob and Kaye Hamel, Vic and Carol
Cloutier, Lee and Meri Hirtle, Bob and Beryl Reid, and last
but not least Sue Venne. It was great to see Sue and catch up
on what she has been doing.
On the 25th, Bob and Beryl Reid and I headed down to
Rindge to Chapter NH-E’s Gathering at the J.P. Stephens
Restaurant. We had a great time and were able to sell some
of Chapter NH-G’s Spring Raffle tickets. While there, we
had enough members to steal the NH/VT Flag so it is now
in Chapter NH-G’s possession. Needless to say, we had a
very busy weekend. Our next Chapter visitation will be on
March 7th to Rutland, Vermont to visit Chapter VT-A.
Check out the 2015 Chapter NH-G Ride Schedule listed in
this newsletter. It is shaping up nicely. We will be discussing
the Chapter Ride Schedule at the February Gathering, and
we are looking to set up an overnight ride in July or August,
so come to the Gathering with your ideas so we can book
the Motel rooms. We are also going to add some summer
evening dine-out rides. We’ll need ideas for that too.
Don’t forget Chapter NH-G members that the NH District
is hosting a CPR/First-Aid class on February 28th at Banks
Chevrolet in Concord. The cost is $25.00 and there is
only room for 18 participants.
Send your check to GWRRA
NH District, care of Madalyn
Sprague, 8 Bassy Street, Lebanon,
N.H. 03766-1435 to reserve your
spot. You do not need bring lunch
if you don’t want to. Banks has a
Cafe’ on site. This event is first
come, first served.
See you on the 14th at Bob & Beryl
Reid’s.

Welcome to GWRRA
Rider Education
Cabin Fever
I don’t know about all of you but cabin fever is starting to
set in for me. There’s not a lot of natural snow for skiing
or snowmobiling to keep my mind and body sharp so I
am setting here thinking of rides that my wife and I or our
chapter took this past season. Rides I’d like to take again or
rides I did not take but still want to. But for me just thinking
about it doesn’t always get it done, so I am getting out a
road map and planning and charting some rides we would
like to go on this season, and I’ll use this sheet of rides as
a check list. I won’t have an excuse for not going on these
rides since I will have this list readily available when the
opportunity arises, and I won’t waste a lot of time thinking
where we should go. I plan on calling some of my chapter
friends to make some midweek or weekend rides with them
because one ride a month with the chapter just doesn’t do
it for me. We bought our bike to ride so I am going to. Are
you with me?
Last month we talked about staying sharp during the off
season. I want to talk about staying sharp on your bike for a
moment. My wife and I took an ARC course last year and I
am looking forward to doing another one this spring. What
better way to start the season but with slow, twisty turns and
stop and go stuff in a parking lot. The course was excellent.
A lot of good information and enough time to practice
handling your bike at slow speeds. Just because you’ve taken
one of these courses before doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take
it again. You may not run into this stuff very often so if you
are not doing it regularly in practice you may not be able
to handle an actual situation. Our instructor for that course
said he actually practices a drill of this stuff regularly in his
driveway or wherever the room is available to keep sharp.
There is some planning happening to actually put the course
on in New Hampshire. We went to Massachusetts to take
ours. Please let me know if you are interested in taking one
of these courses and we can get it set up if there is enough
interest.
As I am writing this we are finally getting some snow so
that maybe the rest of the winter will not drag by and the
riding season will be here before we know it. At our last
gathering we put together a pretty good list of rides both
for our Sunday gatherings and some mid month jaunts too.
If anyone has some more ideas, please bring them to the
February 14th gathering at our house so we can get them
finalized and posted so that other chapters can plan to join
us. We’ll see you then.
Think Spring and be safe,
Bob

Rider Education
“LCD”
by Ace (Howie) Peterson
Guest Educator CO-Q
Perhaps you all know that LCD is short for Lowest Common
Denominator, a factor usually found in math problems; at
least during my day, don’t know how it works in Modern
Math! I figured a math problem might help us get into the
spirit of this article, or not. Here goes!
As I was going to St. Ives, I met a man with seven wives;
every wife had seven sacks, and in each sack were seven
cats. Every cat had seven kits, and every cat had seven lives.
How many were going to St. Ives? Perhaps Occam’s razor,
which generally asserts that “the hypothesis that includes
the fewest assumptions is the more likely one to be true”,
would help on this problem.
Given all that let us consider some of the possible answers
within motorcycle encounters with either moving or
immovable objects. Of course the size of the object may
have something to do with any decision to be made, but
even small objects forcefully encountered can hurt. For
example, and perhaps I am not the only one with this
experience; while riding a highway at the posted speed of
60 mph, I encountered a Hornet head on so to speak right in
my face shield! The Hornet bounced down into my riding
jacket, and then under my shirt. The LCD was to get the
motorcycle stopped, undress the top part of my clothing and
get rid of said Hornet who is now doing laps around my
body! Modesty was not an option! However, no harm, no
foul as “they” say! But I digress!
For example, a vehicle makes a sudden stop in front of a
rider on a busy street. Let us presume that there are two
lanes going each way for this one. The mind being the busy
computer it is, has many bytes of data going all directions at
once, and when the eyes send the oncoming encounter data,
the mind has to process this data as well, which it does very
competently. Except in the usual outcome(s), too much
data may be processing, and so the immediate reaction is
to use the LCD to avoid hitting the object just ahead. Now
there are at least four methods to escape the encounter; slow
and brake, brake hard, swerve right or swerve left. Using
the LCD, the majority of the riders instantly brake hard, and
as hard as possible. This is indeed the simplest assumption,
but is it the “true” or best assumption to make? I realize
there are a few other intangibles within the problem, but
wish to let the reader sort all these out within the problem
stated.
Another example involves a rider noticing a vehicle
is about to make left turn in front of his/her direction of
travel. Again, mind over matter as in example one! Again,
there are several options available to the rider; stop, slow
while braking, swerve right, and/or accelerate plus none
of the “above”. Which of these is the LCD? The reader
may indicate that “it depends” and that could be correct.
The lesson herein is to identify which LCD is “true” or the
correct answer to the problem at hand.
One more for grins and giggles! The rider enters a curve
on some particular highway. After entering the curve the
rider notices that he/she is traveling too fast to complete
the turn at the speed being traveled. The mind, wonderful
tool it is, has to process a host of data to provide the best
solution, most likely also having to disengage from a lot of
other extraneous information interfering with the solution
needed. Once again, there are several possible solutions
that could become the riders LCD such as; braking hard,
rolling off the throttle, attempting to severely straighten the
motorcycle, fixate, trail brake, turn head further, and press
harder, to name a few. Which one or more of these become
the LCD?
In this article I am not going to address which answer of
any example is the correct or “true” solution. Rather I am
instead pointing to the possibilities that our minds go
Nobody has more Fun than “G”!
GWRRA Chapter NH-G The Lakes Region Wings Newsletter
through to resolve situations we encounter. I leave it to the
reader to address all the solutions, and then decide which
are “false” and which are “true”. The correct answer(s)
involve those solutions we have been taught in motorcycle
courses, as well as experience gained through practice of
the techniques learned. Understand as well, that in most
instances, the seemingly immediate reaction, LCD, can be
incorrect. The solution most often used by motorcyclists is
to “grab” all the front brake that can be applied, and hope
for the best result! Rarely is this reaction the best Lowest
Common Denominator! This is also where the mental
gymnastics of “what if” may help out, even sitting on the
couch. Playing scenarios mentally may help to store LCD
solutions ahead of time to use when and if needed. Another
is the “instant replay” or “further review” as used in the
NFL. After a ride or at a stop during the ride mentally
go over any miscues that may have occurred, thus again
storing into the memory solution bank what to do next time
if needed.
Realize that contrary to some discussions, and even rider
safety articles, there are indeed many “truths”, however,
there are also a lot of “it depends”. Each situation/scenario
is different with many different factors entering into the
LCD equation and thus may change what one expected the
“truth to be”. There are no “canned” solutions!
As the riding season draws closer, it is time to start the
mental exercises to condition our brains towards those
physical exercises that make our motorcycling as safe as is
possible. AND AS ALWAYS, RIDE WITH PRIDE AND
CONFIDENCE! By the way, the answer to the puzzle at
the beginning is “1”.

with MAD articles. Editor
Your “perfectly good” wiper
blades may not be good
enough for winter driving
by Nick Hoppner
Colorado (West) Motorist Awareness Coordinator
[email protected]
970-964-4379
970-964-4379
Motorists, how often do manufacturers recommend you
replace your windshield wiper blades?
Obviously, windshield wiper blades in good condition are
vital to good vision when driving, and most of a driver’s
information when driving is visual. If your windshield
wipers are not working properly, it can become difficult to
see, which can increase the chances of having an accident.
But the condition of your wiper blades is often forgotten
month after month. They’re like the old joke about the guy
who had a hole in the roof of his house. His wife nagged at
him to fix it, but he pointed out how unpleasant it would be
to fix the hole on a rainy day, and when it wasn’t raining,
there was no need to fix it!
How often you use
your wipers often
is dependent on the
climate you live in. If
you live and drive in
Seattle, you probably
use your wipers every
day or so. But for
those of us who live
in the high deserts and
mountains of Colorado,
we can go weeks without using our wipers. Nevertheless,
we also have conditions that can eat up a pair of wiper
blades faster than those who live in other micro-climates.
Our cold, snowy winters mean our wiper blades encounter
ice granules, harsh de-icing chemicals, hot car wash
chemicals, and lots of sand and gravel. Then too, those of us
who live in areas that
get lots of snow and
rain use our windshield
wipers more, so they
wear out faster. And,
when winter is done,
we have months of hot
sun and low humidity
to suck the moisture out of wiper blades.
So, how often should we replace our wiper blades? Wiper
blade manufacturers, who depend on sales to stay in
business, recommend replacement every six months. Other
so-called experts recommend replacement every year—
preferably in the fall. The most logical time to replace wiper
blades is whenever your personal inspection and experience
tells you that they need to be replaced.
As you drive in rain or snow, do you and your front seat
passenger have to squint around streaks or gaps? Does a
visual inspection reveal small tears or ragged edges on the
blades? Time to buy some refills and replace the old rubber.
Or if your inspection reveals bent metal wiper blades, for
goodness sakes, replace the whole blades!
Wiper blades and refills aren’t very costly. You should check
them every couple of months to make sure they are still in
good working order. Sure, replacing your wipers seem like
a nuisance. But they are a small maintenance chore worth
doing that can help avoid a nasty accident.
Think about it for yourself and spread the news to your
friends and neighbors.

To all our American Friends in GWRRA
On behalf of our Rally Committee, I wish to extend a special invitation to all our Goldwing
Friends in the Eastern Area of the United States to come to Nova Scotia and help us celebrate our 2015
Region Rally. It would be our pleasure to be your hosts and show you the beautiful Annapolis Valley
area and other parts of our province.
If you are wondering how to get here there are really three ways to make it easy for you to come to the
Rally.
If you would like a longer ride and see some other parts of Atlantic Canada, you can enter Canada
through Calais, Maine into St. Stephen New Brunswick and follow the roads to the Rally,
Or in Saint John, New Brunswick you may decide to take the Ferry to Digby and again follow the roads
to the rally.
The third option is to drive to Portland, Maine and take the Nova Star overnight ferry to Yarmouth, and
then follow the roads for approximately 2.5 hours to the Rally
Anyway, that you decide to come you will be driving through beautiful scenery that is Atlantic Canada.
Once again, I extend our invitation to you to make the trip and share this wonderful event with us and
let us provide you with a real Canadian Welcome.
If you have questions on anything about the rally, hotels, the roads, the ferries or just want to talk,
please feel free to call me at any time at 1-902-834-2179 if I am not available please leave a message
and I will return your call.
Please make 2015 the year you Come to Canada.
Sincerely
Noel Facey
Rally Committe
