Happy Mother s Day to all the mothers out there. I think spring is finally here, we had our first couple weekly Chapter C Wednesday evening rides. The first ride we had three bikes and it was still a little cool, but the second ride we had five bikes and one vehicle. As I m writing this newsletter I m at the Open Road Honda Spring Open House, lots of excitement over the new Gold Wing! Several Chapter members stopped in and we all talked to a lot of people. Now it s time to ride and ride some more. Saturday, May 5th is our first all day ride. We meet 9 am at SuperPumper on south 12th street. I m hoping for the ND spring winds to slow a little. Check out the ride schedules; both Minot and Bismarck s rides are on Wednesday evenings. They are always a good time with good food. Reminder to register to the MN/ND District Rally, we have a chapter member who will be one of the vendors at this years rally - John s Saddlebag Totes and Wood Creations. He has some real interesting items he makes. Also don t forget about the Fargo Airshow, I m still looking for volunteers to help out at the show. Ride Safe and watch out for that loose sand on the corners. GWRRA ND CHAPTER C May 2018 Clint Wald GWRRA ND Assistant District Director May 2018 Page 1 of 11

At the last airshow we helped out with ticket sales and were gate ticket takers. We had a few people from Bismarck and several people from Chapter D in Fargo that helped out. It really was a great time and we made a little money for our local chapters. So mark your calendars and plan on coming out. At the last airshow we were able to take some time during the two days to go to the show, so if anything it s a free pass to the show. Check out the Fargo Airshow web site for more information.

3 Level III - Safety by Preparedness Level III of the Rider Education Levels Program represents the commitment of the Rider and/or Co-Rider to be prepared to, in the event of an accident, render aid and possibly (hopefully) save lives. This is achieved by becoming knowledgeable in First Aid and CPR through training and by carrying a first aid kit on their motorcycle at all times. It would be great if we could achieve a goal of zero accidents; however, we know that accidents will happen. Because of this, it is important to 1) be fully prepared to lend aid to unfortunate accident victims and 2) to always be prepared to save a life. Level III of the Rider Education Levels Program was developed to deal with such circumstances by recognizing and encouraging proper First Aid and CPR training. CPR (Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation) has been used to save many lives. Being trained to render CPR and/or First Aid is a tremendous asset to people that the Rider Education Levels Program participant come in contact with. While not required, a Motorist Awareness Seminar at this level exposes the Member to our program to improve awareness of all road users to the presence of motorcycles and trikes. When interfacing with the public, the Level III Rider or Co- Rider can inform them about what we have available to help others share the road with us. Rider Requirements: Be enrolled and current in Level II of the Rider Education Levels Program, having completed a formal approved bike Rider Course within the past three years Maintain current First Aid, CPR or MEDIC First Aid certifications Carry a First Aid kit on the motorcycle. Co-Rider Requirements: Be a current GWRRA Member Maintain current First Aid or CPR or MEDIC First Aid certifications. Note: copies of the validating completion cards are not necessary as long as the expiration date for the courses are noted on the REP Application form when completed. Talk to your District GWRRA Educator and ask him/her to help you complete the appropriate paperwork. There is a nominal fee for patches if they are desired. Stay tuned for next month! May the snow go away and warm weather finally arrive!! May 2018 Page 3 of 11
