It s been a very busy summer up to this point. Chapter E has enjoyed a few rallies and parties and I am looking forward to the ones we have coming up. We encourage your feedback on things that you would like to see your Chapter do. So please voice your opinion. I promise good or bad it will not hurt my feelings, as this is your Chapter and I want everyone to be as happy with the Chapter as I am. We had another good turnout for our July gathering and it was GREAT to see some brand-new faces. If you were not there I m sorry. You missed out meeting these 4 new people. We are looking forward to them coming back next month and the following months to be part of our Iowa Chapter E group. We had a good turnout for our Family Picnic, the weather was really nice, especially since the Thursday before we had a pretty bad storm the ripped through Warsaw and took down a lot of trees and nocked the power out in town. But the City did a wonderful job of getting the town back in shape and we were thankful for that. (Continued on page 7) GWRRA Gathering, Aug 11, 2018 Fort Colony Family Diner 5102 Ave O. Fort Madison, IA p.m. 6:30 p.m. Host: Jim & Leslie Rainbolt
2 THE SOARING EAGLE PAGE 2 RONALD MCDONALD CORNER The Ronald McDonald house funds are at $ Plus, an estimated amount of $ we should be receiving from Pizza Ranch. This would put us at $981.85, but don t hold me to that. With that being said, I need to send out a BIG THANK YOU to Linda Huppenbaur and her crew for making 50 tent notes for the tables at Pizza Ranch, so everyone knew why GWRRA was waiting tables and what we were collecting for. Next is a Thank you to Linda, her daughter Summer, Ed Gillis, Duane, Emily Peel and myself for waiting tables. A Thank you to Pint and Ruth Henry and Mike Huppenbaur for coming out to eat with us and making a donation. August 12th is the day we head to Iowa City. We will leave from the Phillip 66 Station (West Burlington), at 9.00 a.m. If you don t want to haul you tabs and other donations, then get them to me. I still have some room left. Update on Tony. Around the 25 th of July they will be moving Tony to the Nursing Home to help with physical therapy. Hopefully he will be able to go home in the near future. He has had the second surgery on his hip. Still having drainage issues and a vacuum pump on him to help with that. Their home address is th. Street, Port Byron, IL Until Next time Gary & Val Coordinator s for Ronald McDonald House fund raiser Ph Cell Garyvalduck@mediacombb.net

4 THE SOARING EAGLE PAGE 4 District Educator for the Iowa District This is the fourth in a series of articles I am writing about the MSF 100 Motorcyclists Naturalistic Study conducted by Virginia Tech Transportation Institute (VTTI) and commissioned by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). My last two articles included a summary of each of the previous articles but I am going to keep my summary this time real short. The study included 100 motorcycles for an average of 1 year and used cameras and other devices on the motorcycles to record for analysis both crashes and near crashes. This technique has been used on other vehicles in the past, but this was quite different than what was used in previous motorcycle crash studies which relied on observations from crash scenes, such as police reports, and from participant memories. The ability to record near crashes added a lot of data to the study. In my first article I wrote about the most common incident for motorcycles, which was the low-speed drop. The second wrote about how common it was for motorcycles to run into the back of other vehicles. The third article noted that motorcyclists are more likely to have incidents in less populated areas that on busier highways or urban areas. I found all three of these findings from the study surprising, including that the low-speed drop was the most common incident by a large margin. Of course, this is not common on a trike, but all of the other findings are probably as true for 3-wheel motorcycles as 2-wheel motorcycles. Now, there was a lot of other findings from the study that were not surprising at all but are noteworthy in reinforcing what other motorcycle crash studies have found. Here are some of those findings: Curves are dangerous. It is pretty common knowledge that the most likely place for a motorcycle accident that does not involve any other vehicle is in curves. Intersections are also dangerous. This is true for all vehicles. It is also common knowledge that intersections are the most likely place for motorcycles to have an incident with another vehicle. It is significant, though, that intersections where the motorcyclist did not have a traffic control device was more dangerous that when the motorcyclist had a stop sign or signal. I believe the lesson is that we cannot assume other vehicles will not enter into our right-of-way just because they had a stop sign and we did not. We should also be thinking about every driveway and every entrance to a parking lot off the street we are riding on is an intersection. Not a big surprise that aggressive driving and excessive speed are perilous. Aggressive driving and a lack of skill is a really bad combination. When we ride with a passenger we are reducing our risk by nearly two-thirds according to the statistics. Some road characteristics are more dangerous than others. Sloped surfaces and gravel or dirt roads are both factors in some of the incidents. Uphill starts and riding downhill can also be factors. Inattention, a lack of knowledge, and weak control skills increase risk by a factor of 9. We need to watch out for animals, pedestrians and bicyclists. Beware of side swipes, particularly by other drivers traveling in the same direction as you are. I assume these are typically other drivers that fail to do a proper head check before changing lanes. However, it is likely many of these are where the motorcyclist is in the other vehicle s blind spot. It is not the motorcyclist s fault if the other vehicle changes lanes but we need to be aware of when we are in the blind spot, trying to change positions to get out of the blind spot and constantly watching the other vehicle for signs of changing lanes. Then there are those drivers that will cut in front of you even if there is no room for them to do so, expecting you to make room for them. It is not surprising at all to me that side swipes
5 THE SOARING EAGLE PAGE 5 (Continued from page 4) are fairly common. One conclusion that came from the study that I was surprised to hear was that braking is better than swerving in crash avoidance. I believe this is because we are not prepared to use swerving. For many people it is less instinctual to swerve. Also, if we end up braking and swerving at the same time we are likely to lose traction and can slide out. If we wanted to use both we can brake first, get off the brakes, then swerve. Or we can swerve first then brake after straightening. However, when the situation arises where I might want to use both braking and swerving it is likely going to require a split second decision. Without sufficient practice at swerving we are probably going to be more successful to just brake. The study was pretty limited in scope, though they used a variety of motorcycles (all 2 wheeled), ages and both men and women motorcyclists. Percentages of how each factor studied affected risk could be skewed by having only 100 motorcycles. However, the benefits of this study over how other previous studies gathered data provides us with more realistic information. The final take-away from this study is that our best safety strategy is the same that it always has been. There are both mental and physical skills required in motorcycling. The mental skills we need include using good judgment, staying attentive while driving and using the SAA approach, which is to Scan for hazards and look for escape paths, Analyze the potential hazards and possible avoidances of those hazards, and Act at the right time. The physical skills require practice of the proper skills, proper hand/eye/foot coordination, and for us to be in good physical and mental condition. We need to be honest about ourselves, what are abilities are, and what might be some of our behaviors that increase our risk. We need to first identify what those risks are so that we can work to modify our risky behaviors. I know there are things of which I need to constantly remind myself. These strategies work if we put them into action. Until next month, safe riding and hope to see you on the road. Greg Hayes Iowa District Educator, GWRRA
