President’s Corner
By: Jack Klauschie RCBPREZ
You probably are wondering
why in the world I would post
this photo for the March
President’s Corner. It has
nothing to do with the
weather this weekend. In
fact, the photo was taken in
late May, not early March. I
wrote before about why I
stay involved in RCB. It’s
certainly the friendships and
camaraderie, but there is so
much more. There is the
peace of mind, for me and
those at home, that comes
from the knowledge RCB
riding Buddies are not going
to leave me behind if I have
a mechanical. It’s sharing a
beer, and getting hypnotized
by the flickering of a
campfire after a robust day
on curvy two lane. There is
the joy that comes from
listening to unfathomable BS
and the occasional gut
splitting joke around a
campfire. Altogether, it’s
about MAKIN’ MEMORIES.
You can start making yours
this coming weekend by
participating in the Whale
Watch Ride to Mendocino
(ride or drive), or by joining
us in any of the rides
planned for the summer. If
you have ideas, send me a
message or come to a Board
meeting.

Motor Safety Class - March 25 @ 2PM at A&S
Greg Peart, a longtime member of RCB and retired CHP Motor Officer, has given motorcycle rider safety talks at the 49er
Rally and Beemer Bash for many years. We asked him to do a talk for RCB. A & S graciously agreed to host the event.
Greg will give an approximate 1 ½ hour safety talk designed for the motorcycle rider to enhance street safety awareness.
The information is a conglomerate of the best things a long-time rider and retired California Highway Patrol Motor
Officer feels would help the street rider. After the 1st hour of seminar, Greg will answer the top most asked questions of
a CHP Motor Officer. There should be time after that for questions and answers from you the rider. Greg will discuss the
new California 2017 phone law and lane splitting law too.

Whale of a Tour
10th Annual Whale of a Tour B&B ride in March
By Greg Peart
March 10, 11 & 12,
Friday/Saturday/Sunday, 2017
Greg & Cyndee Peart have hosted the first
big RBC ride of the year now for 10 years.
Destination has always been the beautiful
Sea Gull Inn bed & breakfast in Mendocino.
This tour was conceived 10 years ago during
Manchester beach campout to be a couple’s
tour, rain or shine, non-campout & a first
tour RBC ride of each year. As always, we
plan to stay with Jim and Ayla Douglas at
March 2017
8 of 16
the Sea Gull Inn of Mendocino. The rooms
are blocked off, so reservations must be
made by calling: The Sea Gull Inn at: 888-
937-5204. Let them know you are with the River City Beemers and you will receive 15% off the standard weekend rate,
there is a 2-night minimum stay for this
event. Your first night rate will be charged
as a deposit when the reservation is made
and the balance required at check-in. If we
exceed the Inns 9 room limit, Jim or Ayla
will assist you in obtaining lodging close by
in town. We have never needed more than 9
rooms so far. As in past events, this will be a
very easy going weekend. Activities depend
on the weather, size & wishes of the group.
The inn is a beautiful place to just chill.
Mendocino is a historic district, small
coastal town that is just wonderful to stroll
about, watch the migrating whales, shop,
and just relax. This tour is designed for
couples & is a hit with the ladies. Need I
mention the fabulous breakfast delivered to
your room each morning? As in past years
we will again enjoy a group cocktail party
each night prior to departing for dinner.
The Plan: Check out The Sea Gull INN at:
www.seagullbb.com , then call 888-937-

Leaves Susie’s at 9:00am on meeting days
What's better, after breakfast, than a spirited ride
through the beautiful NorCal roads we've been
blessed with? Except for special events, the rides
are generally 2-3 hours in length, cover 100-200
miles, and end with a lunch at some destination.
The rides are generally "spirited" but if we get
enough participation, we generally add a second,
more relaxed-pace group. Clutch out is 9:00AM or
when the monthly meeting ends, whichever is later,
and ride sheets are usually distributed prior to
departure. Please show up with a full tank of gas.
Check the forum for details of the ride.
Here is a link from our northern club representative Tom Moe. Take a look and see what Montana has to offer. https://mtbmwriders.org/Newsletters.html
As always if anyone has something that would like published, travel report, pictures of events, how to articles, etc. Please send them and I will get them published.
Please Check the Forum often to stay updated on club functions and events.
