2 Hello everybody, Can you believe it is March already? This is my favorite time of the year to ride. The days are getting longer and warmer. We still can encounter some weather so don t put away the heated gear just yet. Yuma was a lot of fun as always. We had 25 members on the ride. A special thanks to Jerry and Sandy Allred for the hors de obvers that were set up when we got there. The management even had a big pot of soup for all to enjoy. The Road Captains did a great job on getting us there and back safely. Red Rock had their Chilly Buns Poker run with over 250 entrants. Congratulations to Glen Oelrich for his 3rd place hand and Eskimo Mel for his 2nd place hand. As a chapter, we had 24 bikes ride this event and 21 members volunteered to work the stops and registrations. A big thanks to all. Suzy Hopper and the LOH organized the N.C.C.F. Food Drive. It is so great to see all that food going in their pantry bucket brigade style, knowing it will help the families. It s one of those feel good days for all of us. Great job Ladies of Harley. This month we have the Beatty BBQ Bash on the 12th. It is $12.00 each for the dinner. It would help if everyone could pay at the March General membership meeting. That would give us a head count as well as lets us know how much food to bring. We are going through Death Valley on the way there, then a straight shot back on Sunday. Remember that Sunday is daylight savings time, so turn your clocks ahead before you go to sleep Saturday night. The Shoot-n- Scoot put on by Metro is always a blast. (No pun intended) You get to ride and shoot, it doesn t get much better than that. Huh! The meal they have at the end is worth the registration fee alone. Check your calendar for the times. I would like to see as many of our Ambassadors at the new member ride as possible. We have had a lot of new members join the chapter the past few months and would like to pair them up with an Ambassador for the ride. If we can make it informative and enjoyable for them, then possibly we will make them feel like they fit right in. Then maybe they will go on more rides and activities with the chapter and become one of The Family. This is not just the Ambassadors job it is up to all members to introduce yourself, talk, listen and make sure everyone is involved on the rides and overnighters. Remember all of us were a new member at one time.

3 Congratulations to Red Rock Harley Davidson on earning the Platinum Bar and Shield Award. Out of 600 dealerships across the United States, the motor company gives out either 6 or 8 (can t remember right now) Platinum Awards. All the dealerships that got the award were rated from one to six or one to eight. (Still can t remember) RED ROCK HARLEY -DAVIDSON was rated # 1 IN THE NATION! Is that cool or what? So, Ride Safe and Have Fun. DIRK

4 When I started riding my Harley, I bought a SPOT Satellite Messenger. It is a small GPS Tracking device that you can carry with you. One of its functions is that it can make a map of places that I rode my bike to. As an added bonus it allowed my girlfriend to see that I was safe. Because the SPOT works off satellites and not a cellular network, I could even send an I m OK message to her when my phone didn t have service or, if things got bad, I could send a Help! message that would send rescuers to help me. So this SPOT thing is pretty darn cool! It does a couple of things pretty well and all for a small fee. Over time though, I noticed that I wasn t logging my trips as much as I used to, and my girlfriend never checked the online webpage that would show her where I was. So as time passed my reasoning for carrying the SPOT Messenger started to change and the main reason that I carry the SPOT now is for the peace of mind that it brings in case I need help outside of my cellular coverage area. This got me thinking though, is the SPOT Messenger the right tool for the job? So I started looking around the Internet and started reading up on Personal Locator Beacons or PLB for short. A PLB is similar to the SPOT Messenger in that it relies on satellites and not cellular towers, and it too can send a distress beacon if you need help. But that s where the similarities end as a PLB does nothing else. It has one singular purpose and that is to get help at your side when you need it the most. So why consider a PLB if it only does one thing? Because it does this one thing exceptionally well. In Brief, both of these devices when activated will send out a signal to their satellite network with the GPS coordinates of the device. This signal is then received by someone at a monitoring center and sends help to those coordinates. The big difference is how these two devices accomplish this. A PLB will send out a distress signal without a GPS lock, it will broadcast on a specific frequency and as satellites move over the area it will triangulate your position. With each satellite pass, the monitoring center is able to pin point your location, this entire process takes only a few minutes but once the PLB has a satellite lock, it will update its signal with your exact GPS coordinates. The SPOT Messenger uses a network of commercial satellites to transmit your signal to their own Monitoring Center. Whereas a Personal Locator Beacon uses a government network of satellites that was specifically built for Search and Recovery and is monitored by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) and the National Oceanic and Atmosphere Administration (NOAA). A PLB will also broadcast a second signal on a different frequency. Remember those Wild Kingdom episodes where Jim Fowler would tag a Lion with a special radio transmitter and then Marlin Perkins would use a funny looking TV antenna to find the Lion and take all the credit? Well that is what this second signal does but luckily, it won t be Marlin Perkins that comes to help you.

5 ROAD CAPTAIN S NEWS CONT. The other draw back of the SPOT Messenger is its low transmit power, which means that it needs a direct line of sight to the sky, so people that use it for motorcycling will end up mounting it to the motorcycle in some way. Which means in the case of an accident, you would have to make your way back to the motorcycle to activate it. So which one did I decide to go with? Well both. I like the mapping and check-in features of the SPOT Messenger but I wanted the extra security of the Personal Locator Beacon. If you are considering buying one, do your own research and choose one that best suits your own needs. SPOT Messenger Personal Locator Beacon Price $120 to $170 $200 to $300 Transmit Power 0.4 Watts 5 Watts Transmit Frequency 1610MHz 406MHz and 121.5MHz Time between Help Beacons 5 Minutes 50 Seconds Batteries AA User Replaceable Sealed Non-Replaceable Battery Life Depends on Usage One Time use or send in for replacement every 5 years, whichever comes first.
