Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Chapter Assistant Director Margaret Moore

Where Have You Gone? Yes, where have you gone this year on your Gold Wing; that beautiful bike that is made for the long hauls. I have taken many rides, many by myself, but some with the chapter members and have enjoyed all of them. At this time I think I have gone to about 12 of the Trek Ohio Destinations. I have ridden part of the Blue Ridge Parkway from the north to Roanoke, VA after being forced off the road by serious rain. I still need to finish the next 200 miles so that I can claim to have ridden the entire length. Back in September on my way down to visit Jim, Alice and Jeff I rode the Dragon, Tail of the Dragon and the Cherahola Highway, all in one day. Boy was I tired that night. Like most of us I bought my trike to Ride, not to let it sit in the garage. I now have 74,500 miles which leaves me plenty of miles to go before I call it done. So, to all the B3 members out there get your bike on the road and I’ll see you around the next curve! Also, please keep Bill and Esther Ford in your thoughts and prayers while they go through this difficult time in their lives

Hello Fellow Riders

I have been reflecting on GWRRA’s Motto…Friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge. This has motivated me to write on the GWRRA Rider Education Levels Program. Let’s review this program and

maybe even promote it. 😊 Level I “Safety By Commitment” is simply a statement of the Rider/Co-Rider to make riding safer for themselves and those Friends they ride along with. There is no cost to register in the Levels Program. The Rider/Co-Rider can if they wish purchase patches to display on their vests. Level II “Safety By Education” this level requires the Rider/Co-Rider to have signed onto Level I along with accumulating 5,000 safe miles since joining GWRRA and has taken an approved rider course or co-rider course in the past 3 years. A complete list of approved rider courses can be requested from your District Educator. Yes, while GWRRA has its own Rider Courses we do accept many alternative rider courses that meets our standards so our Rider/Co-Riders can maintain the Levels requirements. The GWRRA form to sign up for Level I – III is the N.7 Rider Education Program Levels Application. This form can be downloaded from GWRRA or ask your District Educator to have one emailed. Level III Certified Tour Rider/Co-Rider “Safety By Preparedness” adds more Knowledge in the form of CPR or First Aid training and a commitment to carry a First Aid Kit on the Bike. Rider/Co-Rider must be current in Level II to advance to Level III. Participants are STRONGLY URGED to wear proper riding gear while riding! For those who have a higher commitment to Safety we have… Level IV Master Tour Rider/Co-Rider “Safety by Enhanced Preparedness & Experience” You must be current and have full year at Level III, have ridden at least 25,000 safe miles since joining GWRRA, have completed an approved Rider course within the past 3 years and must be certified in both CPR and First Aid. Co-riders must meet the same requirements with the substitution of a Co-rider seminar or 2-Up riding course. To apply for the Master Tour Rider Program, submit the N.9 Master Tour Rider/Co-Rider Application. You will forward the completed and signed form and fee to your District Educator. The fee includes your Master Tour Rider/Co-Rider Patch. The GWRRA Rider Education Program (REP) is intended to make the motorcycle environment safer by reducing injuries and fatalities and increasing motorcyclist skills and awareness. For more information about the GWRRA Rider Education Program please follow this link: http://www.gwrra.org/regional/ridered/levelsprogram.html

If your local chapter has added the new chapter staff position of “Chapter Skill Enhancement Advisor”, that person will work with the District Educator to keep abreast of all the training opportunities made available to our members. This will help members have a much safer and, in my opinion, much more Fun riding experience.

GWRRA REP Motto…

Safety is for Life Our Mission...
