When the time states 8:30, about 3/4 of the participants show up at 8:00. Now, if we state the start time is 8:00, will the same participants show up at 7:30? THAT is the big question and is up to debate. Your input is important here…🤔 Page "2 Chapter G Senior Director’s Report rG hapte MI-C CD article for October. On August 28th we left for Billings Montana. We, including Howard Stob, Pat Troost, Rodney DeJonge and Dar Koza, took the Lake Michigan Express from Muskegon, going over Lake Michigan to Milwaukee. Then on to Onalaska, Wisconsin for our first night. The second and third day brought us across Minnesota, South Dakota, Wyoming, and finally Billings, Montana. What scenery! Mt. Rushmore, Sturgis, the Badlands, Wall Drugs, Bear Tooth Pass, Yellowstone… I also took a demo ride on a 2017 Goldwing! Nice! Beautiful weather, bright blue skies. Once we left Billings to go home, rain every day. And my low beam headlights went out. I had to use my bright lights all the way home. I got home and went to D3 and had the lights fixed. Dan did a very good job and was reasonably priced. I recommend them highly. His address and phone number is in the newsletter on page 12. Try him out. I had my grandkids over, then company from Pennsylvania. Now, hopefully, I will be able to do the Blue Ridge in a couple of weeks. We will see. Your CD EZRA Can it be? Time for ghosts and goblins, trick or treaters, and trees starting to change to their beautiful colors? It is hard to believe that Autumn has arrived. We’re not ready to surrender to that white stuff just yet! We have had a very full riding season, don’t you think? What a wonderful ride all the way to Bilings, Mt. We have seen a lot, rode a lot, and enjoyed riding together a lot. We have had some mishaps, which proved that though things happen along the way, our family of friends are there to bale us out! (on more than one occasion). If you don’t know the details, just come to our gatherings and listen to the stories!!! It is hard for me to believe that our trip to Wing Ding in Billings MT is over and we are home again. Especially because I personally thought Montana was out of my comfort zone. But I can tell you that I am very glad that I had the opportunity to go. We saw America! We got to see Mt. Rushmore, Wall Drug, Sturgis SD (without the rowdies), Bear Tooth Pass(very scary), and Yellowstone National Park! AWESOME! So, just remember that our riding season is still in full swing, Check the calendar, October starts off with a BANG: MI-C2’s Freedom Ride for Veterans is October 1st. Don’t forget it’s: “RIDE, EAT, SLEEP, REPEAT”. Marilynn Page "3 Rider Education BOB UNGREY MI-G Rider Ed rG hapte MI-C My Observation While Riding I guess you can say that due to my job as the Safety Manager for a Moving Company and our Chapter's Rider Educator, I seem to notice or pay attention when I see a Tractor/Trailer or a Motorcycle going down the road. I look to see if all of the lights are in working order and look at both the rider and co rider on their motorcycle as they travel down the road. Maybe it's just habit, but I think in the back of my mind it's for the safety of both the drivers, passengers and all of the other drivers they may encounter while on their journey. My wife and I both believe in wearing all of the gear all of the time, not because of our Level IV status, but we want to be as safe and protected as we can be while riding our Trike "Plum Lucky"! I see so many motorcycle riders now that do not wear a helmet. The State of Michigan repealed its all-rider law in 2012. Motorcycle helmets reduce the risk of head injury by 69% and reduce the risk of death by 42%. Ask Steve Cooper if his helmet protected him when he laid his bike down? From the pictures I saw, it sure saved him from serious injury. It is up to you as a rider and co rider if you want to wear a helmet or not. This is your choice not mine to make. Now my thoughts about Motorcycle Helmets. To me it's the most important protective gear you can wear while riding. It protects your head, helps keep the wind noise down and keeps those nasty bugs and flying objects from hitting you in the face. The visor is also great on a sunny day and lets not forget that our helmet has the speakers and mike so we can communicate via CB with others in our group. I'd say a pretty good tool for us to use. I've had many different types of helmets over the years, but all helmets have four basic components that work together to provide protection. An outer shell, an impact-absorbing liner, the comfort padding and a good retention system. I like the modular type helmet, good protection, fairly good at cutting wind noise and does the job I want it to do. When choosing a helmet color, design and price may be a part of your decision, but think first about protection and comfort. Make sure to try the helmet on for proper fit, remember this will be on your head the whole time you're riding your motorcycle, too tight will feel like a vise, too loose and not very good protection. What you must know when choosing a helmet is that it meets minimum safety standards. The way to find a well-made, reliable helmet is to look for the DOT sticker. The sticker means the helmet complies with the safety test standards of the U.S. Department of Transportation. Helmets as well as other safety components don's last forever. Replace it every few years, there may be some major advances that you'd like to have/add such as a better mike, speakers, style, color or blue tooth. If you wear a helmet, wear it every time you ride. Until next month, have fun and ride safely. Bob Ungrey Page "4 Rider Opinion Page rG hapte MI-C There are times when you’ve just had a great picnic besides the lapping waves of a small lake, watching boaters taking one last ride before winter. Then, deciding to ride through the scenic country side roads for some ice cream. Watching families taking their children to watch the farm animals. This is the beauty of a beautiful Fall day in Michigan. Even on the way back towards home, we found other roads that we haven’t ridden on, small towns that weren’t visited before. Last week we had to go on some hard packed dirt roads on our way to Sylvester’s. It was a super ride. So, what is wrong with one more dirt road? It looks hard, packed down, very scenic, just a short cut through the woods… We took it and… (Did you see the movie “Deliverance”?) We made it through, but… Ask us what happened and why we’re never going back there. Unless someone double or triple dog dares… Howard Stob MI-G ACD Page "5 Trip out West to Billings rG hapte MI-C Bear Tooth Pass was cold! 286445 A lot more pictures can be seen from a link on our web page Page "6 rG hapte MI-C October Birthdays & Anniversaries Birthdays 04 Jim Meredith 06 Steve Ayres 08 Teresa Lasher 14 Ellen Stob 20 William Hovinga 22 Ray Troost 22 Jeffrey Seagle 25 Rex Derksen 27 Peggy Kline 27 Bob Toedebusch Anniversaries 14 Don & Gloria Houda 22 Mike & Joyce Zagumny If you have items for sale, if you need an item, or if you want to give items away, give us a call to publish them here.
