Safety Tip of the Week 

Passengers

A lot is said about rider skills but not much is ever said about passengers. Many new or would be passengers wrongly assume that since a bike has to lean to turn, they are supposed to lean also. The huge thing that is wrong about this is, only one person should be controlling the bike and a passenger has a whole lot more control than they realize.

If you are a passenger reading this please take note and if you are a rider, don’t be shy about telling your passenger what is expected. Sit up straight and enjoy the ride. If the bike goes around a curve or corner, simply look over the shoulder in the direction of the turn; left turn, look over left shoulder… right turn, look over right shoulder. It works like magic. As all riders hopefully know, the bike will go where you look. The passenger needs to be on the same page!

Up and Coming 

Annual Chapter Picnic - May 4

Our annual chapter picnic this year is actually a buffet at Shrimp-R-Us in Welaka. That's 765 3rd Avenue which is also SR 309 for the few who may be unfamiliar with one of our favorite places to eat and gather. The price is $15.95 for all you can eat, including non alcohol beverages and dessert. To me its mostly about their shrimp but there is different kinds of chicken also which is nice for those with shellfish allergies. This is a really fun event. It is under an outside pavilion with plenty of room to mingle with old friends and meet new ones.
Hopefully there will be a ride attached to this event so watch the calendar for details.
Please note there is a sign up sheet and a dead line for this event. The sign up sheet is on the web page under 2019 ACHOG PICNIC. http://www.ancientcityhog.com/2019-picnic
The dead line for signing up is April 26. I would ask that if you sign up and decide you can't make it please cancel before April 26 or you will be on the hook for payment. We are not asking for payment in advance. You must be signed up before this Friday's deadline to attend!
