“We Are All In This Together”

Page 2 CA-1K KOALA NEWS

Another month, another article. Poor Bob is having a hard time putting together a news letter for the chapter when no one else contributes articles. I found it very frustrating when I first started the chapter and I also did the newsletter. (Not nearly as good as what Bob does) It became Ken’s newsletter as the only thing in it was what I said. I understand how Bob feels. If some of you would just take 5 or 10 minutes and send in something about a ride you did, a piece of new equipment you bought for your bike and really like and want to pass on the information about it to everyone, or even a new set of different tires you put on your bike and your opinion of them and how they compare to the other brand of tires you had. Even anything that you did that had nothing to do with riding your bike but you had a fantastic trip

somewhere that you think someone else would like. Where are we as volunteer chapter staff members going wrong in getting more of you to participate in the chapter? I do see a lot of faces I haven’t seen for a long time at our Holiday Party because it is paid for mostly by the few that support the chapter all year long. What do you as a GWRRA CA1K member want the chapter to

be??? Do you even want to belong to the chapter? I know everyone has a very busy life, but I am sure you still take the time to go for a ride on your bike. Maybe you don’t like to ride in a group. Maybe you just belong to GWRRA to get Wing World magazine and all the benefits from belonging to GWRRA. That’s all ok! I respect that. Just let us know if you are not interested in participating in the chapter and we will stop bothering you and sending out chapter information

to you. If it’s something you would like to have the chapter be or do, that will help you to participate more, let us know. We are all volunteers and we are here for all GWRRA members. My email is [email protected]. You can also look in the newsletter and

get Nadine’s, Bob’s, Linda’s, or Susan’s email address. PLEASE LET US KNOW WHAT WE CAN DO! kEn

My Goal for Creating a Successful Chapter Mission Statement: Dedicated to our Motto; Friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge, GWRRA Members enjoy the freedom of belonging to a not-for-profit, non-religious and non-political organization. Objectives:

Friends - GWRRA Members are men and women from all walks of life with varied interests and backgrounds. We have Gold Wing and other touring motorcycle riders of all age groups. Some ride solo and many ride with small and large groups! New Members join GWRRA especially for the technical information we share; some of our Members join for the enjoyment of riding with friends and also meeting new friends. Find your future riding friends with your Region Map.

Fun - As a family organization, GWRRA has certain fun groups to include restau-

rant, picnic and campout runs. We also have GWRRA groups to include chari-ties, parades, and small or large events across the country. GWRRA Members can participate in live or video seminars through Rider Education Programs.

Safety - We strive for improvement through GWRRA safety workshops. We will share technical expertise, news and tips about riding, maintenance and the best touring routes in the world. Safety is for Life on our GWRRA Rider Educa-

tion Programs page.

Knowledge - While generalization about a group of individuals as large as today's

GWRRA is difficult, GWRRA Members are likely to be independent thinkers, fun-loving, generous, adventuresome, cooperative and unfazed by the natural challenges of riding in the rain, temperature extremes or highway uncertain-ties. Many Members have completed CPR and first aid training, making them the best-prepared motorcycle riders on the world's highways! Find " CPR and First Aid Training " on our GWRRA Medic First Aid International® Programs.

Why Belong to GWRRA? There are many benefits to becoming a GWRRA Member. As a Member you will en-joy camaraderie and fellowship while enjoying the comfort of belonging to the larg-est family of Gold Wing/F6B and other touring motorcycle owners. We like to share our pleasure in the freedom of riding motorcycles with others like ourselves. Our Members strive for improvement by attending GWRRA live, video and webinar safe-ty workshops. We offer an emergency towing and roadside assistance program called Rescue Plus. This is a benefit that ensures peace of mind, day or night. Among our 60,000 + skilled and dedicated Members can find the answer to almost any question regarding the Gold Wing! Your special Membership Card signifies your membership, along with many other benefits such as; discounts at touring mo-torcycle dealerships, designated hotels, campgrounds and travel agencies. As a Member, whenever you need help traveling, our Gold Book Directory connects you with your nearest friends, worldwide. Our most important benefit is sharing how to

safely enjoy motorcycling in more ways than you thought possible.

Considerations – CA1K My plan for the chapter is to provide a friendly atmosphere where members can share a great group riding experience come together with like-minded people who love to ride. A chapter’s vision determines the success of the chapter and it takes all the members working together to make it fun and successful. We’re only as strong as the number of active members who participate in the day to day running of the chapter. My personal goal is to get more members involved, to plan more rides, events and education that will interest everyone. To reach my goals I need your support, this is not MY chapter it’s OUR chapter. So please reflect on why you joined GWRRA and help me build the best chapter in CA.

Ride Safe!

Nadine

As some of our members have noted “Bob, where have you been? We have not seen you riding for awhile.” Well, it has been a tough road for me since last November. I had terri-ble allergies from November to February to the point where I did not want to ride in a mental fog. Just as things were perking up low and behold I managed, through exercise, to make a small hernia into a major one. Per doctors orders I have been off bike since April, had major, reconstructive hernia sur-gery in June, and am recovering nicely thanks to a great surgeon. Although I am feeling pretty good, per doctors orders I will not be able to start riding again until the No-vember / December time frame. The doc indi-cated people tend to rush back to their rou-tines (such as bike riding) too soon. Most of his surgeries to “repair a repair” are for “I told you not to overdue it !” pa-tients. I plan to attend meetings, but will not be riding for awhile. Paying attention to what my doctor is telling me, I thought the following information on would be a great re-minder of our riding perceptions Vs. reality. Take heed! When everything is going right, riding a mo-torcycle is effortless and completely enjoya-ble. By 'right' I mean that the weather is per-fect, traffic is light, the bike is familiar and well maintained, and you are rested and healthy. Given these conditions you have the potential to focus entirely on those things

that demand your attention - or to be lulled into believing that you can afford to be dis-tracted for a few minutes, and die in a heart-beat. On the other hand, there is never a bet-ter time to see the fields you are driving past, or smell the aroma of freshly cut grass, or to enjoy the sight of a couple of hot air balloons in the distance than when everything is going right. Is this not a safety conflict however? Permit me to suggest that 'paying attention' is not only not the same as 'being alert', it is almost the opposite - these are mutually ex-clusive concepts except as regards to what-ever you happen to be focused on. Indeed, letting your attention 'wander' is very much the same as being 'alert.' There is a lesson to be learned with the distinction. Assume that you have a limit to how much your mind can pay attention to at any single moment. You can be aware, for example, of traffic conditions all around you, of how fast you are going, of the sounds your engine is making, of the approximate time of day it is, of the words to the music you hear in your headset from your radio or tape or CD, of the surrounding countryside unfolding around you as you drive by, of the temperature, of how long it's been since you last ate or made a potty stop, and of the general location and status of the motorcycles both in front and behind you. It would seem to most people that there is no limit to how many different things you can be aware of at any one time. This, because you scan these things quickly and PAY very little attention to them, so long as each appears to you to conform to what you expect of them.

News and Views Chapter Educator

Bob Finkelstein

“Attention Distraction Disorder”

Page 5 CA-1K KOALA NEWS

The ability to notice that something is wrong is called being 'alert.' When, during your at-tention scanning effort (i.e., while your atten-tion is wandering) something happens out of the ordinary, is unexpected, then a wondrous thing happens within your mind - you FOCUS on the discrepancy. You PAY substantially more of your attention to it. And now you find that your ability to be attentive to many things at once has reached a limit! For example, if you are driving down a free-way at 70 MPH and happen to notice that a truck some distance ahead of you has just blown a tire, then you will be so completely focused on that truck and what is around it as well as your reactions to that event that you will almost certainly no longer be able to no-tice the scenery to the side of the road, nor are those hot air balloons able to get your at-tention any longer, even if one of them were to fall out of the sky. . What we have discovered is that not only is there a limit to our ability to pay attention, but when our attention is focused our ability to be alert to other things is diminished. THAT is dangerous! When we have to focus on some aspect of our riding we are forced to diminish the wan-dering of our attention. For example, if it is raining and after dark we tend to narrow our visual focus and concentrate on what we see ahead of us. At this time we do not have the ability to let our attention wander very far for we have very little attention left. Indeed, if we then discover that we are lost the very first thing we will all do is to slow down so that speed is no longer consuming any of our at-tention - we have already exceeded our limits.

This is no time for us to have a radio on or be listening to a tape! That is the message here: In any situation in which you must focus your attention you must at the same time reduce as many distractions as possible.

If you are riding an unfamiliar bike, make

sure the radio/tape is off and that you do not test any other limits (such as high speed or steep lean angles.)

If traffic suddenly increases or becomes 'weird', hit your mute button and reduce speed if possible.

If the weather suddenly turns bad, hit your

mute button and reduce speed if possible. Clearly your radio can become one distrac-

tion too many.

Thanks to James R. Davis for this Motorcycle

District Director Review

Page 7 CA-1K KOALA NEWS

California rocked last month and, for a change, I am not talking about earthquakes. Our state was the largest in attendance not only in sheer numbers, but also in the highest percentage of members from any of the districts. Kudos to all of the chapters that came to St. George and repre-

sented California so well! With the Region Convention successfully behind us, we turn our atten-tion to the upcoming District Convention over Labor Day weekend. Thirty years ago California held its very first District Rally in Visalia (yes, they were called rallies back then) and this year’s theme is a Hawaiian Luau so break out those coconut shells tops and grass skirts and plan on joining us in Visalia. Rumor has it that several chapters have come up with what can

only be called “original Pacific-Islander attire”. In addition to the usual educational offerings, there is a plethora of riding opportunities as Visalia serves as the gateway to both Sequoia National Forrest and Kings Canyon National Park and, thanks to Anita and J.R., we have the official route for the 1,000-Turn Ride (think of California’s version of The Tail of the Dragon). Because of the safety of the ride, we will be modifying it for your safety. Apparently there are parts that are unsafe even for the most expe-

rienced rider. On Sunday evening we will have a professional Polynesian dance troupe entertain us with an hour-long dinner show while we eat. If you would like to see the show, remember to purchase your dinner tickets when you register. After the dinner show is over, we will open the doors for

the rest of the members to join us for the actual closing ceremonies. Our District Artist, Ruth Burke, has outdone herself again with this year’s T-shirts. Unlike pre-vious years, this year’s shirts will be printed in full color on both the front and the back. Take a look at the artwork and then figure out whether you want the short-sleeved, the long-sleeved,

or one of each. The host hotel is the Holiday Inn and in addition to the indoor and outdoor pools, there is a restaurant and lounge on site with live entertainment. A word of warning to those men looking to sit in the lounge: collared shirts must be worn as T-shirts are prohibited. With the Advanced Rider Course (ARC) and the Advanced Trike Course both being offered on-site, this venue should appeal to everyone so go to the District’s Website at www.gwrra-ca.org to download the flyer and get registered for the biggest luau this side of the pacific. Until next month, ride

well and ride often.

Charles and I love our big yellow 2002 Goldwing, but this has been the year of the Mars Rover Art Car for us! We are building the Rover to take to Burning Man in late August of

this year. The Mars Rover Art Car is a labor of a love for science, art, playfulness, education, and

above all the ability to DARE MIGHTY THINGS. Based out of the Los Angeles area and built by a radically inclusive team, this is an en-deavor unlike any art car thus far. Our crew consists of a group of talented craftspeople, artists, JPLiens, NASA brainiacs, and an ever growing supportive task force... and we call

ourselves "The Desert Wizards of Mars." On August 5, 2012, the employees at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory pulled off the most amazing technological feet in space exploration by safely landing a 1 ton rover on Mars. To pay tribute to their achievement, we want to build something special and educational for

events like School Visits, Science Fairs, and Burning Man. When the real astronauts do go to Mars, they too will need to recycle and conserve their supplies. The Mars Rover Art Car will feature a custom built "Rocket Stove" by permacul-ture artist Ray Cirino. The wood fired high tech stove will be used to cook grilled cheese sandwiches for native playaites and demonstrate the need to recycle and conserve to school children in our post playa school assemblies for permaculture education. We also are going to include science experiments of actual playa dust sample return for the stu-

dents. Like the real rovers, a project of this magnitude requires many different people with many

different skills.. Charles and Susan White

Quick First Aid / CPR Review

HAND WASHING

The best way to stop the spread of infections is to keep your hands clean. Wash your

hands before and after every first aid procedure. 1. Wet hands, preferably with warm water. 2. Use soap - any soap will do. Lather your hands front and back, and between all fin-

gers. 3. Continue lathering all around your hands and between the fingers for at least 20 sec-

onds. Humming the theme song from Jeopardy! takes about 15 seconds. 4. Rinse your hands thoroughly. 5. Dry your hands using a clean, dry paper or cloth. Use the towel to turn off the faucet. Waterless hand cleaners (compare prices) can be used if water is unavailable. Apply

hand cleaners liberally; make sure to cover both hands completely.

What is GWRRA Chapter CA-1K?

We are a family oriented motorcycle organization sponsored by the Gold Wing Road Riders Association (GWRRA). Although most of our motorcycles are Gold Wings, we welcome all makes and models - two or three wheeled.

Our Chapter area covers the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita, and adjoining cities, a large portion of Simi Valley, Burbank, Glendale, and portions of Los Ange-les / West Los Angeles. As GWRRA members, we are committed to the enjoyment of motorcycling, motorcycling safety, memorable rides throughout California and our beautiful country.

Committed, happy, and involved members and their families is the cornerstone of our existence. We recently created a photo album on the website for member's to post pictures of their motorcycles, travels, and memorable events. We encourage you to take a look at them.

Staying busy, traveling often is commonplace for members of the Gold Wing Road Riders Association, Chapter CA-1K. Stay in touch via our facebook page at GWRRA Chapter CA-1K.

About CA-1K

The CA-1K newsletter is distributed at no charge to GWRRA mem-bers who regularly attend chapter functions, our advertisers, and in-terested supporters.
