New Year s Eve Party Submitted by Peggy Burns Eleven of us gathered at the Burns home for a lowkey New Year s Eve celebration. The first thing we did (naturally) was to sample the many tasty snacks everyone brought. Next, we broke in to two groups and played some games of 4-5-6. There were prizes for the winners of the first 8 games. Dan and Grace are probably still on a sugar high from all their winnings. They were incredibly lucky that night. They should have gone out and bought Lotto tickets. After the 4-5-6 games we switched over to sevens. It finally reached 11:30 pm so we turned on the TV and watched the New Year s Eve celebrations in Feel free to submit articles on Motorcycle safety to the Newsletter. Tip of the Day keep your motorcycle charged using a trickle charger or starting it regularly through the cold time. The Game by Antoinette Wisowaty was a guessing game. Peggy Burns won the free breakfast card for guessing the cost of an antique carpet beater that Antoinette purchased in Massachusetts. Colors drawing of $20 was won by Helen Morgan. Times Square. Mary was even somehow able to teleport herself to Times Square and get a selfie with Diana Ross. Amazing wasn t it. 2
Finally, it was midnight and we all toasted each other with some fine sparkling cider. After a bit more visiting everyone went home. We actually stayed up until 1:00am probably a record for us on the very first day of 2019. We enjoyed our evening tremendously and hope to do it again next New Year s Eve. 3

The Super Bowl party is always a good time for everyone that comes. Stopping Distance Submitted by Peggy Burns How many of you know how far you will travel before you can stop your motorcycle from the time you recognize a problem until you are able to come to a complete stop? The following chart demonstrates the relationship between time and distance traveled when breaking. Obviously the faster you are going the longer it takes. However, did you realize that if you double your speed (20 mph to 40 mph) it almost triples the distance it takes to stop. If you triple your speed (20 mph to 60 mph) you will travel six times farther before you can stop. The chart assumes normal reaction times and good road conditions. If reaction times are slower than normal or road conditions are not good, then stopping distance will be increased. If you have questions, call Terry or Peggy at 509.922.2454 Who Am I??? (Kinda hard to tell isn t it!) We need more of your childhood pictures! 4
