OUT____ ? By ?John Del Santo ? As the Seasons are changing, we will get days that are warm, and mornings and evenings that can be chilly or downright cold.? We need to prepare for all kinds of weather?..We layer our clothing so that we can remove it as the day gets warmer,? and put it back on as the sun goes down.? Carrying extra gloves of different weight is a good thing,? and in a pinch, making a windbreaker-vest out of a plastic trash bag to wear under your jacket will help.? If I don?t wear a full-helmet, I will have a balaclava or ski mask for those really cold mornings, and a scarf or turtle neck helps keep your throat toasty.? A heavier or extra pair of socks will protect your feet where your circulation is least.? Last but not least, we should stop more often and do a bit of walking to get the blood circulating through the rest of our body.? ? What we are trying to avoid is that dread condition called Hypothermia.? Hypothermia is described as a low body temperature as that due to exposure in cold weather.? The warning signs are feeling cold, getting the chills,? shallow breathing? and a feeling of sleepiness.? Using any alcohol will only slow the circulation further and put us in deeper danger.? Many cold medicines can be as deadly as alcohol. ? Why is this so is ? dangerous to us as motorcyclists ?? The result is becoming disoriented or even falling asleep.? Nodding off behind the wheel of a car is bad enough, but on a bike falling? asleep has a whole ?nother meaning !? So if you or your riding partners start to feel or exhibit any of the above signs, CALL FOR A BREAK !? Do not try to tough it out.? Chill Out?..The warm weather of Spring is on its way.?? Spring has sprung?.The grass has riz?.I wonder where last years flowers is ? ? ?

Message-ID: It looks like the email list is working fine now that we moved everything over. The website moved fine also. Now it is time to hand over these responsibilities to our friend Joe Tatro, your new web guy. I enjoyed helping you all out while I was in San Diego. I am back in Arizona now, very busy with ABATE here at the chapter and State level, and could not put much time into your website. I wanted to say farewell to all of you, some I didn't get to see before I moved away from San Diego. I am hoping to be in town for a visit one Sunday when you are having a meeting and I will try to pop in and say "HI". Have a good time, I miss you all.

Flag Placement On Motorcycles Where does it go? Flag Code Explained I am frequently asked where the US Flag should be positioned when mounted on the rear of the motorcycle. The answer is: it depends! Read on... ? US Flag Only If only the US Flag is on your bike, it should either be at the center, or to its "marching right" - on the right side of the motorcycle to the rider's perspective when facing forward. US Flag And One Other Flag Of Any Type If the US Flag is on your bike with another, it should be to its "marching right" - on the right side of the motorcycle to the rider's perspective. If the other flag is that of another nation, it should be the same size and at the same height of the US Flag - NO flag should ever be displayed higher than the US Flag. US Flag And More Than One Other Non-National Flag If the US Flag is on your bike with several other non-national flags (POW/MIA, ALR, Eagles, Service Banners, etc.) , it should be at center and higher than any of the other flags. US Flag And More Than One Flag Including Those Of Other Nations If the US Flag is displayed on your bike with those of any other nation, the flags should be same size and at the same height, with the US Flag to marching right (right side of the vehicle), and others arranged in alphabetical order to the left. Other flags should be arranged in order of decreasing importance - Nations first, states (in order of admittance) and territories second, military third (in order of establishment), and then any others. Again, no flag should fly higher than the US Flag, but the US Flag should be no higher than that of any other nation's displayed. Rationale I and others have argued that, since the small bike flags we use are all but invisible from the front (when mounted on the rear), the concept of "Flag's own right" should be used with the vantage from the rear of the bike. This would place the Flag on the on left-hand, rear of your bike which, when the bike is on its side stand, would allow another flag to fly above the US Flag (thanks, Gary!). Also, this concept, unfortunately, overlooks a more applicable concept: If you equate the motion of your bike with marching, and you equate traffic with a procession, another portion of the Flag Code becomes the obvious choice for display of the Flag alone, or with another: Rule 9: "The Flag, when carried in a procession with another flag or flags, should be either on the marching right; that is, the Flag's own right, or, if there is a line of other flags, in front of the center of that line." The second portion of this rule does not work well with most motorcycles, since there usually is no means to mount the Flag in front (in the direction of travel) of the others if all flags are to be mounted at the rear of the bike. In this case, we rely on: Rule 10: "The Flag of the United States of America should be at the center and at the highest point of the group when a number of flags of States or localities or pennants of societies are grouped and displayed from staffs." Included in this would be POW/MIA flags, Patriot Guard and American Legion Riders flags. Finally, if you are displaying another country's flag along with the US Flag, they both should be at the same height and the same size, and the US Flag should be displayed on the right side (again, marching right). This is basically Rule 11: "When flags of two or more nations are displayed, they are to be flown from separate staffs of the same height. The flags should be of approximately equal size. International usage forbids the display of the flag of one nation above that of another nation in time of peace. The order of precedence for flags generally is National flags (US first, then others in alphabetical order in English), State (host state first, then others in the order of admission) and territories (Washington DC, Puerto Rico, etc.), Military (in order of establishment: Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard), then other." - Bobcat ? ?

THAT OLD TIME ROCK AND ROLL ? by John Del Santo ? ? The temperature is warming, and rocks are falling onto the roads from the mountain face above. Depending on the state where you are riding, you may see signs that read ?Falling Rock?, or signs that read ?Fallen Rock? I would guess that if we ride along looking up?watching for Falling rock, we might miss seeing any number of things in the roadway, such as curves, deer, and Fallen rock. And of course, there will be plenty of places where there are no warning signs. So??As we ride along, we will want to keep our attention open for rocks lying in the roadway. We keep in mind the biker rule ?Where you LOOK is where you will GO? So Saying ?Hey?Wow?Look at that Big Rock in the road??.would NOT be a good observation to make ! And, just around that next bend in the road, we will anticipate oncoming cars moving into our lane as they swerve around rocks in their lane. The drivers we share the road with tend to overreact to hazards. Expect the Unexpected ! Constant Surface Appraisal will get us where we want to go. Rock On ! ? John Del Santo ?
