Moore Assistant Chapter Director March and April Events REMINDER: The monthly Get Together (originally referred to as Staff Meeting) is open to ALL members. If you are interested in what goes on behind the scenes then please come to the get together on the 3 rd Thursday at 7 pm at the Obetz Community Center. Just follow the laughs and you will be there. March 28 th : The Community of Obetz Annual Easter Egg Hunt was held at 11:00 am at the Sports Complex behind the Village Admin Offices off Alum Creek. All the members who came out and braved the 21 o degree weather with wind I want to say Thank You. We took about 20-30 minutes to put the eggs out, but the kids (vacuum cleaners all) swept through in about 2-3 minutes! March 31 st : We had 14 members at the dinner at the historic Plank s Bar and Grill on Broadway in Grove City. After we enjoyed a wonderful meal and great camaraderie we walked across the street to Capital City Cakes and Ice Cream for our desserts. (Continued on next page) May 2015 Page 3
April 9th: Six ladies got together at the Grove City location of O Charley s for the monthly lunch. We had a lot of fun and got caught up on what was going on in each other s lives. Remember lady Bees we meet for lunch on the second Thursday each month at a different location, so read the newsletter for the next location for our fun lunch. April 11 th : The B-3 sponsored Safety Saturday was held in the Obetz Conference Center on this date. We had in attendance Rudy and Linda Copeland, our District Directors as well as Dave and Sally Slonacker who gave a presentation on LegalShield which is giving 4% of enrollees monthly fees to Ohio GWRRA. The District keeps 2% and the other 2% is split and sent to each chapter in Ohio. This is a Win-Win for the Ohio GWRRA. Also, we had two attendees from Chapter P in Medina plus others from Chapter O. We had two Rider Education seminars presented by Jeff Goldblatt and Gary Ballou. We made some money that will go towards the purchase of an AED for the chapter. If you weren t there you missed a good time with great company. April 16 th : The monthly Get Together was held in the Obetz Craft room at 7 pm. It was well attended by the staff, but only two members attended. April 18 th : We had between 16-18 members in attendance at the Marysville Honda Powersports Open House to celebrate the 40 th Anniversary of the Honda Gold Wing. This was a great recruiting opportunity for B-3 and we did talk with a prospective member who rides a GW now, but was interested in the trikes and had lots of questions. Demo rides were available on most of the models they have in stock. Margaret Moore Tom Eden Assistant Chapter Director Odds and ends maintenance items Have you ever needed to find a matching a metric nut or bolt while working on your wing? Most hardware stores have some but their inventories are rather small. Your local Fastenal may have some or offer to get them for you if you want a box of 25 +/-. I have tried Columbus Fastener and they only sell in quantity. I recently found a location here in Columbus that is a metric specialty fastener source and they will sell in ones or twos and can match the Honda fasteners that I have needed. The name of the place is Metro Industries Inc. They are located at 1260 West Goodale Blvd. in Columbus. Their phone number is 614-487-8200. I was looking for a replacement seat bolt that came with the Kuryakyn back seat on my wing. Kuryakyn is unable to sell the bolts as replacement parts. These bolts are 3/8 longer than the factory seat bolts due to the thickness of bracket that mounts beneath the passenger hand bars. In preparation for my trip to Fort Sill, Oklahoma I was preparing to inspect and repack the bearing on my cargo trailer. I noticed some scoring on the interior cone of one wheel. Knowing that Margaret had had her trailer serviced at Rock s Trailer Sales here (Continued on next page) May 2015 Page 4
in Columbus I called them about bring in my trailer. There earliest opening was mid- May. My trip is the last or April so went back to the phone book and looked for someone to contact. I found Williams Trailer Sales that I had dealt with when I had popup campers was still in business so I contacted them. They said that I could bring it right in and they would work it in to their schedule and I would have it back in one or two days. So I dropped it off at 10:00 am that day. I received a call at approximately 4:00 pm that the trailer was ready for pick up. They had to replace the hubs and bearings on both sides of the trailer. They are located at 7729 East Main Street in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. When I went to pick up the trailer I got caught in a major traffic backup due to an accident. I knew I would be delayed beyond their closing time so I pulled into a parking lot and called them to let them know I would not be there before they closed. They offered me directions for a detour and said they would wait form for me. So, if you ever need some trailer parts or service, I would recommend them Tom Eden COUPLE OF THE YEAR 2015 Gary and Karen Ballou The GWRRA Diet My tongue is in my cheek see My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it s on your plate. Thornton Wilder B-3 is a riding chapter. We ride for fun We ride with friends, current and future.. Will ride for FOOD!!! Anyone who reads the papers, books or follows the news, has seen the variety of diets that have come and go with amazing regularity. There is the Adkins diet, South Beach diet, grapefruit diet, rice diet, the Super-Model diet, the Caveman diet and the Bird diet. There is a diet that is little known, except to Gold Wingers. It s called the Gold Wing Diet. You eat sensibly and moderately, making sure to drink plenty of fluids, mostly water. You ride your motorcycle, stopping at intervals to fill the gas tank, empty your personal tank, and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with friends. Most importantly, at least once a day, you eat ice cream. During the ride, you have worked the legs muscles walking on breaks and holding yourself on the bike. You have exercised your tushie as you bounced, slide and reposition on your seat. (Continued on next page) May 2015 Page 5
Now, the purpose of this diet is fun with friends and maybe to refuel your body, but I doubt if it will ever let you lose weight. But the purpose isn t to lose weight on this diet. It is to have a great time with great people and maybe see a place you haven t seen before. The really great thing is you don t have to search your GPS or map for the ice cream shop. Gold Wing seem to have a factory installed homing beacon that causes the bike to shake if an ice cream shop is passed without stopping, so the story goes. I think it is a theory that needs to be tested thoroughly. Shall we test it? I borrowed this idea from Nick & Terri Riolo, CA-2N See you in the Funny Papers.

MOTORIST AWARENESS DIVISION Karen Ballou THE SNOW HAS MELTED The snow has finally melted in Ohio. After the snow come the flowers. But along with the snow drops, crocuses, and daffodils, the orange barrels have begun to grow. I recently drove almost the entire route of I-270. In that drive I saw 4 major road construction projects beginning or continuing. Soon there will be 100s of major and minor jobs throughout the state, from resurfacing to bridge replacements and greater. Motorists need to be aware that these construction zones impede the visibility of motorcycles even more than usual. As drivers maneuver between semi-trucks, orange barrels, and construction walls, and driving in close quarters, a motorcycle becomes a small piece of all the traffic and something easily overlooked as vehicles move along. During the chapter recent Safety Saturday, the Motorist Awareness presentation showed that normal traffic blind spots, if ignored, will result in collisions between vehicles and motorcycles. When you add objects requiring an increase in awareness and concentration by all drivers, something may give. Not seeing that Smart Car or Fit (they are sooo small) or the motorcycle may be the something that gives. The result is never good. Equally, motorcyclist need to plan ahead as much as possible to prevent encountering roads that may be good enough for cars, but not the best for bikes. Of course, the largest obstacle to good planning is the speed at which short term pop up. One weekend the road is open; the next weekend the road is closed for resurfacing. We do love our GPS a lot at these times. The website www.pavingtheway.org has lots of information that is up-to-date and can be very useful as rides are planned and trips taken. There is also a Glove Box Guide that shows were the 2015 central Ohio road construction projects are located. It is a quick reference for avoiding those bad areas while getting from here to there. Other states and AAA have road construction information and a little searching could avoid a nasty problem. This is why we like to use those wonderful back roads to ride, even if there are times when the road ends out there as well. May 2015 Page 8
SHARE THE ROAD RIDE SAFELY MAY IS MOTORCYCLE AWARENESS MONTH KAREN BALLOU RIDER EDUCATION Gary and Karen Ballou Rider Education Article May 2015 Gary Ballou, Chapter Educator I have spent a good part of the last two years, preparing for a month-long bucket list 12,000 miles tour of the lower 48 US states. We have heard others stress the importance of riding your own ride and (especially) on long rides I have to believe that carefully choosing your riding partners can make or break the fun of any trip. In this case, my partner is a Masonic brother but a die-hard Harley-rider. I will ride lead so I don t have to listen to those pipes. We ll be stopping at every state line where he has to put his helmet on, and he occasionally teases my Level IV habits & GPS route planning (He s a map guy), But we are great friends and for the most part, his riding preferences & style are very close to mine. Think like a marathon runner, not a sprinter. Start early in the day & set a steady pace. Don t push the speed envelope but don t stop to water every tree either. Keep the stops short. Eat light while the ride is on but enjoy a nice evening meal every day. When you re tired, it s time to stop. When you re really tired, a layover day is not a sin. An occasional 12-14 hour day in the saddle won t kill you, but 9-10 hours and 400-600 miles per day will save your body in the long run. An Iron Butt is not a Happy Butt, no matter what those guys try to tell you. By the way, he also has the same reputation for attracting rain that I do, so we are already joking about sending a bill-for-services-rendered to the Governor of the State of California if our trip helps alleviate their drought. Since I have never attempted anything of this length before, it has seemed prudent to read & listen to the experiences of others who have. Last month I shared an article from Region F Educator Mike Burke about taking Riding Courses to keep our skills sharp and the bad habits to a minimum. I ve never met Mike, but the following is from a recent CA District newsletter. This is a gentle reminder to any who might be taking long trips this year. To any of you who are travelling to Reno Rendezvous, Ride Safe! If you happen to meet Mike there, tell him he has some fans in Ohio. (Continued on next page) May 2015 Page 9
Fatigue, Comfort and Staying Alert Fatigue is your enemy on a long ride. This seems obvious but what are the actual effects? Some of the more dangerous effects are: 1. Decrease in situational awareness. You may begin to concentrate so much on the road ahead you may notice less of what is going on around you. Will you notice that car coming up very fast behind you? Does he see you? 2. Increased reaction times. An extra second to react means you will travel an additional 103 feet at 70 mph before you would attempt to swerve or apply the brake. 3. Sleepiness. While it might seem obvious that sleepiness would result from fatigue, we must keep in mind that our brains interpret fatigue as a signal to sleep. The greater the fatigue, the stronger will be the sleep center s inducement to sleep. This may trigger sleep even when unintended and unanticipated. Micro sleeps are one manifestation of the body s drive to obtain the rest needed to reverse the effects of fatigue. Micro sleeps may occur during periods of otherwise normal and highly functional activity, causing unexplained variable and unpredictable performance. Concentration failures can occur during periods of activity which appear otherwise normal. Combating Fatigue 1. Begin your ride well rested and don t push it to cover that extra hundred miles when you are already tired if you don t have to. 2. Stay Hydrated. Very Important. 3. Proper nourishment. Eating three small meals each day is preferable to having one or two larger meals. Your brain needs the energy sources food supplies so breakfast is important. Because the body s circadian rhythm produces a natural drowsiness in midafternoon, a protein and carbohydrate snack can help stave off this effect. Do not overeat. Large meals are hard to digest and shunt blood and energy away from the brain. Many small meals are better than a few large feasts. 4. Pain will contribute to fatigue on long rides. Judicious use of Motrin or similar drugs may help. 5. Wind noise contributes to fatigue. Is your helmet quiet? Do you have your windshield adjusted to minimize noise and buffeting? (Editors insertion: Wearing soft earplugs can help.) (Continued on next page) May 2015 Page 10
6. Eye fatigue will contribute to your overall fatigue. Are your windshield, visor and glasses clean? (Editor s Insertion: Keep your eyes hydrated too! I carry & use moisturizing eye drops frequently.) 7. Is your seat comfortable? A sore behind is tiring. I don t find the seat on my GL1800 to be particularly good and I have tried a number seat pads to improve matters with generally poor results. A new custom made seat is probably the answer for me but I m just not ready to spend the money. (Editors insertion: I bought a sheepskin seat cover for this trip. I ll let you know if it helps) 8. Riding gear. I find being too cold or too hot to be very fatiguing. In the winter you can add layers of fleece or other fabrics or just go to electrics. Cold hands suck and I find my electric gloves to really help. Riding in the heat is a subject that could fill an article all by itself. One thing to remember though, the worst thing you can do is to expose your skin to the hot wind at highway speeds. Think of Convection Ovens. Your body gains more heat than it loses through evaporation and you become dehydrated faster. In summary: Be rested, be nourished, be hydrated, and be comfortable. Following this advice will go a long way towards reducing fatigue. Have fun, but be safe. Dress for the Slide, Not for the Ride Wear your helmet every time you ride. Gary Ballou May 2015 Page 11
