1 MAPLE CITY WINGS GWRRA Michigan Chapter W ADRIAN, MICHIGAN May 2018 Hello Chapter W: Fred & Randa Probst Monthly Gatherings Join us at our next monthly The Adrian Armory Event Center Our Monthly Gathering is held the 2nd Sunday of the 9am 8:30am for social time, coffee & doughnuts. Come and enjoy the camaraderie of your fellow GWRRA Members and our Chapter W Family! Our next Gathering is June The Adrian Armory Event Center Gold Wing Road Riders Association Friends for Fun, Safety and Knowledge! Just want to talk about some of the things going on, or have already gone by for the Chapter. Three Chapter members went to Stockbridge and took the (arc) advanced rider course. We all passed with no mishaps, but we did have two Chapter J members that had a slight mishap, one in a car, (Jan Smith) and one on a wing, (Louie Schippers) got their wires crossed on a u-turn in the high school parking lot, and ran into each other. No one was hurt but, Louie s bike got some damage. There were 9 bikes there and all did well. Just a reminder for the Toy Run that we will do a dry run (hopefully) on Saturday May 19, at 4:00 pm from the Armory to make sure nothing has changed on the route. We would like to thank all the Chapter members for their time getting door prizes, or whatever they have done to put everything in place. Thank you Dick Papworth for putting together the Toy Run route, hopefully we will have good weather and a good turnout. Don t forget that May starts the riding season for meeting at the Country Kitchen by 6:00pm to leave on the dinner ride to the picked location.

3 Happy Motorcycling! Reminder for the Levels Program Tim Grimes, Director of Rider Education Program, MEMBERS are responsible by using MY RE as a resource, to complete the proper form and submit it to us for processing. Master Applications are validated by the District Educator then forwarded to GWRRA Home Office for processing. Wing World, March 2018, Tim Grimes, Director of Rider Education The Chapter Director or Chapter Ride Coordinator should be able to direct Members to the appropriate section of the Rider Education website to download the Levels application. Once the Member completes the application, it is to be forwarded to the District Educator for processing. All of us need to assist others; those who do not have access to a computer or a printer should simply be able to ask a Master Tour Rider, Chapter Director, Chapter Ride Coordinator, or even the Newsletter Editor should have access to the chapter s printer. We have again been asked questions regarding Polaris Sling Shot and similar vehicles. Quoting from National Office, GWRRA Rider Courses are designed for two and three wheel vehicles plus two wheel vehicles with Add-On Kits specifically designed to be mounted on two-wheel vehicles. These vehicles will share some common characteristics: Rider and Co-rider straddle or sit astride the seat. Seating for the Co-rider is behind the Rider except for Side-Car Rigs, Steering is by means of a handlebar as opposed to a steering wheel. Any vehicle that is not acceptable for participation in a GWRRA Riding Course is also not acceptable for any other GWRRA Course that has a riding component as part of the completion requirements. So, no you are not allowed to attend a Road Captain Course with a Polaris Sling Shot. Yes, Add-On Kits are allowed, but they may not participate in an ARC or TRC; there is a special course for them. Yes, we have two instructors who have received the materials and are available. But, we must have enough Riders who can attend, along with a reserved classroom and suitable range to perform this class. And don t forget our favorite time of the year Rider Courses! Stockbridge will be held on May 5 th and we have a full class for the ARC. We had one signed up for TRC but that is not enough to hold a class, so the TRC has been cancelled. But look how many more are available for all of you to attend and yes, we do have riders and co-riders that come every year to keep refreshed on all their skills! We will be in Ionia on May 19 and have 7 ARC and 4 TRC signed up, Pontiac on June 9 and have 2 ARC and 0 TRC signed up, Grayling on June 30 th with 3 ARC and 1 TRC signed up, and Sault Ste Marie on July 7 with 1 TRC signed up.
