Greetings from Maine!! Hi to all,
I can’t believe that just a few months ago we were waist deep in snow, and now we have about 6 weeks before we head off to 2015 GOLD RUSH, ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO. Don't forget to make your reservations to GWTA as well as accommodations @ the Marriott in New Mexico. Darlene and I are looking forward to seeing everyone. We will be flying this year because as reality sets in things like JOBS and time constraints are just not accommodating right now... Someday……. HOPE everyone made it through the winter. The summer is here and this is the time to dust off those bikes, inspect them for safety, meet up with friends and of course enjoy that ice cream!! I think I read in the TN that somewhere in California they were able to ride most of the winter. Awesome! Membership is still going down and just like everything else expenses and goods are certainly rising. Try to encourage everyone to spread the word and invite them to your chapter meetings and become involved as this will make a difference whether they stay or go. If each of us (including me) only requites one member we would double in size.
This is the first year in a long time we have had the opportunity to have a full board representation from all nine regions. We welcome Ron Klann from Region F and Mike Zim from Region A, these regions have been vacant for quite some time thank you both
for coming forward representing your regions.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank Glenda and Jim Boggess for all their hard work and DEDICATION in working with the Touring News these past few years. You must have spent hours of organizing and reorganizing. You have done an amazing job and GWTA is better for it. Thank you so very much, we truly wish the best for you and Jim as you enjoy your family and make many more memories to cherish. You are all invited to attend the annual board meeting on Sunday, July 12 usually start time is @ 8AM and location to be determined look for signs in the lobby of the hotel for the right room. Best to all Safe travels, Dennis COB
Chapter Directors’ Words of Wisdom GWTA, Region C, Nebraska, Chapter A, Heartland Wings April 2015
January 18, 2015. It was almost perfect for a January ride. Greg and Monica Bumpus and Jim and I headed out for about a 2 hour ride. Not a 3 hour tour; we all know how those turn out. We weren’t out to break any land speed records that day, so we were just taking our time, enjoying the great January weather and sunshine. We ended up on L34 in Iowa, and gave Greg a chance to try out that new F6B on some curves. All was well. I was enjoying the comfort of the Butt-Melter 2000 in the passenger seat of Jim’s bike when all of a sudden he swerved hard to the right. All of a sudden there was a silver car (I think it was silver) taking his half out of the middle of the two lanes. Monica and Greg were well behind us, to see the silver car almost hit Jim and me. No one was hit, although the silver car probably came within 3 feet of us. Monica and Greg pulled way over, and told us the other driver did not make any eye contact with them as he passed by. And do you know what I saw? Nothing. Not one thing except Jim hugging the right side of the pavement. Because on the back of the bike, Jim is tall and I am short and all I can see is Shoei and Snell Approved and DOT approved. In this case, it was probably a good thing. My first instinct would probably have been to lean waaaayyy over to the right. As that would have made it difficult for Jim to keep on the road, it probably a good thing I didn’t see anything.
Which brings me to the point of this article. One, that riding in January in Nebraska and Iowa IS possible. Two, faster is NOT always better (but curves are a good thing). And Three, I need to take a co-rider class. I will definitely sign up for the Co-Rider class at Gold Rush. Jim and I had just finished taking a Defensive Driving Class on-line (not saying who got the speeding ticket), so we have both been in a defensive driving mode, which is a good thing. Another good thing would be to have a Safety Director for the chapter. But we should always all be our own safety directors. Just having the position filled won’t make us safer, but as Chapter Director, I do need to set aside some meeting time to discuss safety as a regular thing. We will be hosting a Safety Seminar at the library this spring. The library will be helping us promote this, and helping us with logistics. Be thinking of subjects we can present. Greg showed me a great video that I think we could use. If anyone is interested in taking the lead, or co-hosting with Jim and me, please let me know. I think this would also be a good recruiting tool. We are a fun group, we don’t drink and ride, and we promote safety. If you know anyone who would be interested in a safety promotion, be sure to invite them. Ride safe! Jim and Karen Durand

Hi Everyone, It is hard to believe it is already the middle of May and Gold Rush is only two months away. I sure hope I will see many of you there and that you participate in the seminars we have on safety. As I indicated in a previous article, riding a motorcycle requires never ending learning. I am not sure what the topics of my seminars will be but I will try to make them interesting with good information. We will have a Skills Seminar so come ride with us and enjoy. Having trouble deciding what more to write so will only say, “SEE YOU AT GOLD RUSH.” Ride safe and keep the rubber side down. Doug Green, National RED
One of our newest Board Representatives is Ronald Klann from (Michigan) he has graciously accepted his first 3 year term. He will be
representing Region F, as that position has been vacant since Ronnie Vaughn had
to step down due to health reasons. We welcome Ron and his wife Betty.
I know Region F is excited to have you aboard.
