Communication is very Important when you are getting ready to change directions on your bike. The more you let the other drivers know ?what you are going to do,? the less chance there will be that they?ll do something unexpected and get in your face.? Signal your intentions.???? Naturally,? people being what they are?.we should? keep our eye open for those ?me first? drivers who will see our signal,? and then will try to beat us to the opening that we are heading for. ? When we are slowing or changing lanes, many of us feel that hand-signals are noticed quicker than directional-signal lights by the cars close to us in traffic.? A brain picks up motion quicker than light.? A California law reads that if our bike has (working) electric directional signals,? then we must use them;? we aren?t supposed to? just? use hand signals alone.? But we could certainly use both? if we want to?.clicking on the directional signal, and then using a hand signal to communicate to the drivers that are near us in heavy traffic.?? Whatever works. ? When we are downshifting for a stop or turn,? a couple of flashes on our brake light should wake up the driver behind us to the fact that we are slowing down so that we don?t surprise them? we?ll reduce the odds of being mowed down by someone who?s not paying attention.? In the early morning and late afternoon when the Sun is glaring low in the sky and most of the other drivers are squinting, trying to see,? having our headlight switched to High-Beam will make our presence a little more evident.? And?.don?t hesitate laying on your horn? (AND being ready with throttle or brakes)? if someone near you in traffic looks like they might change into your lane without checking their blind spots.? Wake ?em up !? A rider that I know has an interesting technique?.When the traffic suddenly slows,? she puts her left hand, in a fist, straight up into the air!? That really seems to catch the immediate attention of the following traffic. ? Hey!??? There are a lot of different ways to communicate!? Hand Signals;? Horn;? Directional signals;? Brake Lights;? High Beams on during heavy daytime traffic;? Modulating Headlights;? Reflector Vests;?? Whatever fits your style! Communication!?

Washington, D.C.: The AMA is hosting a video contest called ?Kids Just Want to Ride!? The video contest empowers those most impacted by the ban on youth-model motorcycles and ATVs -- kids and their families ? to tell Congress just how important motorcycling is to them. The grand prize winner will receive a trip for three to Washington, D.C., to be the guest of honor at the AMA Family Capitol Hill Climb on May 26.

Washington, D.C.: The AMA invites all youth riders and their families to attend the AMA Family Capitol Hill Climb on Thursday, May 26, at the nation?s Capitol. The day will begin with a welcome briefing followed by a press event and conclude with attendees meeting their member of congress to urge support for the Kids Just Want to Ride Act - legislation that, if approved by Congress, would exempt youth-model motorcycles and ATVs from the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act (CPSIA) of 2008. Unless the CPSIA is repealed or modified, it will effectively ban the sale of youth-model motorcycles and ATVs at the end of 2011 due to concerns about the lead content of some parts. ??????????? If you plan to attend the AMA Family Capitol Hill Climb, please complete the registration form by Thursday, May 12. For event details, trip planning assistance, and help arranging a meeting with your member of Congress contact the AMA?s Grassroots Team by phone (202) 742-4310 or e-mail grassroots at ama-cycle.org. ??????????? Source and full story: http://www.americanmotorcyclist.com/KidsJustWantToRide.aspx ? ????????????Washington D.C.: Legislation to be introduced in Congress that supports greater access to public lands. Representative and Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) along with Representative Rob Bishop (R-UT), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Parks, Forests and Public Lands and Representative Steve Pearce (R-NM), Chairman of the Congressional Western Caucus plan to introduce the Wilderness and Roadless Area Release Act of 2011 shortly. This bill would remove restrictions to motorized access on more than 40 million acres of public land nationwide. ??????????? According to a "Dear Colleague" letter circulated by McCarthy,?Bishop and Pearce, the bill "...would release all Wilderness Study Areas (WSAs)?and?Inventoried Roadless Areas (IRAs), which have been recommended or evaluted as not suitable for?wilderness by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) or the U.S. Forest Service (USFS)..."???????????? ??????????? Moreover, this legislation would terminate the U.S. Department of the Interior Secretarial Order 3310 as it relates to these lands. On Dec. 22, 2010, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar signed Secretarial Order 3310 creating a new land-use designation called Wild Lands that essentially allows officials in the BLM to manage public land as if it had received a "Wilderness" land-use designation from Congress, but without requiring congressional approval. ?????????

Proctor, Minn.: The 20th Ride to Work Day is scheduled for June 20, 2011. This annual event is intended to highlight how riding makes parking easier and increases traffic flow.???????? As every rider knows, motorcycles and scooters consume fewer resources per mile than automobiles and they take up less space in parking areas and on the roads.

Nikki Haley (R) has indicated that she will sign the measure into law if it reaches her desk.? ??????????? The All-Terrain Vehicle Safety Act, also known as "Chandler's Law", would not only make it illegal for anyone under the age of 9 to operate an ATV, it would also place limits on the use of ATVs by anyone under the age of 16.

For instance,? they wrote up "lane splitting"? as follows : ? What Is Lane Splitting? Lane splitting is another motorcycle-specific traffic rule. It allows motorcyclists to essentially ride the barrier between two lanes, cutting in between other vehicles that are stopped or moving at a slow rate of speed. Contrary to popular belief -- and some say, to common sense -- a study performed by the University of Southern California several years ago proves that evasive action like that seen in lane splitting actually makes the roadways safer for motorcyclists, preventing them from being sandwiched between cars and letting them avoid inhaling copious amounts of toxic exhaust fumes. Now.....We as motorcyclists are aware that splitting or sharing is not legal......or illegal.....?? in other words there is nothing in the CVC that prohibits it,?? HOWEVER according to CHP officers,? "straddling" or passing between lanes by popping back and forth from lane to lane to lane ?IS? against the law by way of CVC 21658 -A?? which reads? " Laned Roadways 21658.??Whenever any roadway has been divided into two or more clearly marked lanes for traffic in one direction, the following rules apply: (a) A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practical entirely within a single lane and shall not be moved from the lane until such movement can be made with reasonable safety". ? Could you do it and get away with it ??? Maybe......Could you do it and be given a citation ??? Maybe. ? John Del Santo ( 619 ) 223-0421??? ??

LaHood also had his top safety staffer, National Highway Traffic Safety Administrator David Strickland in on the meeting. The MRF urged Strickland and LaHood to back off on the controversial motorcycle-only roadside checkpoints recently funded by the Agency. Administrator Strickland did his best to defend the checkpoints. Other topics of discussion included asking Strickland to change his 2012 budget request, specifically the modification to what is now known as the 2011 motorcycle safety grant program. In Strickland's budget request, he asked that the program be opened up to not only fund rider education and share the road campaigns but also be used for helmet use promotion and helmet use promotion laws. The MRF told Strickland that if he wants to fund helmet campaigns to please find another pot of money to raid, as this program was created by motorcyclists for motorcyclists. Out of his $850 million dollar budget request to attack this $7 million dollar program is just wrong. Certainly, he could find another source of cash for his helmet hunt. The MRF does have some praise for Strickland, He recently successfully completed the Motorcycle Safety Foundation's Basic Rider Course. He had good things to say about the experience and now has a deeper sense of value for proper and affordable rider training. The group then encouraged LaHood to reinstate the Motorcycle Advisory Council, whose charter ended last fall. LaHood seemed willing to do so. The Council had met twice a year for four years and advised the Secretary on infrastructure issues as they relate to motorcycling. The MRF looks forward to continuing to work with Secretary LaHood and his staff in the future. ========================================================== Do not reply to this email, it will be discarded. ====================================================== ? ? ?

Public Service Announcements or Red-Light Camera Commercials? Consider the Source Dear NMA Member, Recently in Missouri, TV spots have aired about red-light cameras, from the so-called ?National Coalition for Safer Roads,? heaping praise on the cameras -- and doing it in a style bordering on that of a public service announcement. We wanted you to be aware of an article that not only helps refute the arguments for red-light cameras, but exposes the fact that these messages, featuring personal appeals from medical personnel and police officers, actually come from the red-light camera manufacturers themselves. This March 24th article from Jesda.Com spells it out. The "National Coalition for Safer Roads" is simply a front group for American Traffic Solutions, which produces the camera systems and profits handsomely from them. The individuals in the ads voicing their support for red-light cameras are just that -- individuals. They do not represent any greater agency, and they are not really authorities on red-light cameras. More than anything else, they are representing ATS. And it's no surprise that ATS thinks you need red-light cameras to protect you -- their mission is to sell camera systems. The National Motorists Association's mission is to protect motorists' rights and interests, including not just safety and driver courtesy, but also freedom from unfair and oppressive enforcement systems. You can read our objections to red-light cameras here. It's a good bet that the camera companies will air similarly deceptive messages in other states as red-light cameras come up for initial approval or review. Of course you will decide for yourself where you stand on red-light cameras. We just hope that, when you hear the opinions, you consider the source. Charles Walter National Motorists Association ?

Each pack should have several of your best riders bringing up the ?back door? so they can keep an eye on the group and one of them can drop out to assist anyone with ?problems.? Ideally, they should have cel phones and phone numbers of the Lead Rider.? Bikers don?t desert their comrades.? Everyone should know the exact destination you have planned so they can find you if they need to drop back. ? Summer riding pulls a lot of water out of our system.? You can ride naked if you choose, but the more skin you have exposed, the more dehydration will occur. ?For extreme hot weather riding, some people soak their shirts with water, and then put a dry jacket on over the shirt?.this helps keep the body temperature much lower, kind of a ?Swamp Cooler? effect. ? ? ?Taking frequent breaks is a good way to stay well watered, or our reflexes and reaction can drop off just when we need them most. ?If we stop to fill up our tanks, and someone doesn?t ?need to use the restroom?that?s someone who is probably dehydrated.? ?Just a cuppla cold ones?? sounds good?.but beer is a diuretic that will drain more out of our system than it puts in.? Heat Exhaustion is serious stuff that can make us feel like just stopping and laying down next to the road and going to sleep.? Maybe forever.? Drink!? Drink!? Water and Sports drink, Get in someplace cool,? dump water on your head and down your shirt, rest?.Because next in line comes the worst? Heat Stroke? which can worsen from heat exhaustion with little warning.? ?The body?s temperature-control stops?working?.Feeling ?hot dry skin, severe headache, exhaustion, hallucination. THERE IS AN IMMEDIATE?POSSIBILITY OF DEATH.??? ?First call 911 ?Move the victim to a cool place,? douse with water, fan breeze onto the victim.? If we act quickly and correctly,?? maybe we can prevent permanent brain damage or death.? Once someone has suffered a heat-related illness,? the chances of it happening again in the future are higher. ? Do you see someone parked on the side of the road,? off their bike, jumping around doing the ?Bee Dance? ?? If you have (?non-drowsy?) Antihistamines in your First Aid kit,? it could help them out.? Is there anyone on the run with special medical problems ?....They should tell at least one other rider about it.? There are many riders who will be carrying a small First Aid kit, and the Leader should know who in the group is qualified for CPR.?? We don?t go around looking ?for trouble (most of the time) but it?s nice to be prepared. ? So?.. Enjoy the weather and the road and the company of good people. Ride Free, and ?.Ride Safe ! ? -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

What a day !? In the wind !? the sun is shining and you?re rolling down the highway without a care in the world?..and then an evil force grabs hold of your front wheel and starts shaking it like a dog with a bone !!? You?re in a treacherous ?High Speed Wobble? ! ? There are a number of things that can contribute to the creation of this attack, including an uneven lane drop;?? worn steering head bearings, worn front wheel bearings, or worn swingarm bearings or bushings;?? front or rear shocks that are uneven, under-inflated, or which have leaked;? narrow front tires on ruts in the road or on freeway rain grooves;?? improperly balanced tires;? Riding a tire which has been under-inflated and which has caused the tire to ?cup?;? ?handlebars which are not balanced because of a previous fall;?? or a sudden loss of air in the tire. Rear wheel wobbles can happen, too, when a tire goes flat, but they?re usually easier to handle, as long as we don?t hit the rear brake. ? When the front wheel is affected,? it can at first feel like the wind is starting to push you around, and then it becomes apparent that something bad is happening?.and the front wheel starts to be yanked hard right and left and right, trying to rip the grips out of your hands.?? At this point there is still a chance that you might salvage the day.? Get a good hold,? and roll off the throttle gently?? Don?t ?chop? it off suddenly? or weight will transfer to the front wheel where you?d rather not have it.? Lean back,? Don?t touch the front brakes !??? Start applying the rear brakes gently but firmly, but don?t lock them.? This can be a real touchy situation if your bike has an integrated or linked brake system.? If so, you may need to decelerate and let your engine slow you down.? If you downshift,? you?ll need to let the clutch out smoothly, which is easier to say than do with the handlebars whacking back and forth.? That?s an awful lot of decisions to make in a very short period of time,? and the evil spirits may decide now to push you through the final gate?.. ? If the front end starts slamming back and forth all the way to the stops, you are in the dread? ?Tankslapper?.?? At this point it would be a good thing if you are wearing clothing that allows you to slide on the roadway rather than clothing which will cause you to tumble,? because there is an excellent chance that you and your bike will now part company.? Being relaxed and ready to slide instead of tensing up will allegedly lessen your injuries when you land?.that sounds good in print, but I don?t think most riders remember that last couple of seconds anyway.? I guess we could lessen the chances of being hurt if we stayed home on the couch,? but most Riders feel that it?s better to wear out than it is to rust.??? So?be prepared,? and do your best to handle whatever comes along.?? Enjoy yourself,? Ride Sober,? and? Ride Safe ! -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

I jus gotta get this off my chest for the zillionth time. Yes today AB695 was shot down. My my what a surprise or is it ? California,the nation?s most populous state with the most licensed? motorcyclist ??? has a pathetic MRO membership to motorcyclist ratio in the helmet law state of California. What disturbs me even more is all the charity events held almost every weekend year round for most ?? ?charities that don?t care about motorcyclist except for their bread. In my perfect world,I would hold a charity event every weekend,year round that would raise fund$$ for all the MRO?s (ABATE,MMA, ??? AMA,etc.) The heck with everyone else except military and SOME children?s charities but still the majority would benefit the MRO?s. ? ?????????? We need MONEY for the lobbyist to fight for our freedoms. I know ,I?m preaching to the choir. Membership is a BIG problem and we need to get the word out even more so about the importance of joining the MRO?s. Iv?e seen it in the past and know you all have too,there will be tons of motorcyclist for a non freedom related event but come helmet protest and other freedom related event,the attendance pales in comparison.It frustrates me to no end when I see that.I don?t know what I can/to do. Do you ? Okay, I feel a little better since I got this off of my chest.Lets start working towards 2012. ? I won?t give up. By the way Iv?e been in all 50 states,46 of them on my 1993 Heritage and I WON?T tour California as long as there is a helmet law. Sure I?d like to see Yosemite and Tahoe from a bike instead of a cage but I won?t spend money touring on my bike because some of that money I would spend will eventually trickle it?s way to the politicians who continually deny our right to choose. ? Maybe I?m all wrong and my reasoning is twisted but I think I somewhat have a valid point. What do you think ? ? ???
