Greetings, This year is passing quickly, isn’t it? Still plenty of time for good riding. As of this writing, Dan Gigstead and Mark & Cindy Traxler are on a long ride to the West Coast. I’m sure we will hear a few good stories when they return. A good buddy and I are taking a ride around Lake Superior. I’ll bring back plenty of pictures. A few words from our Chapter Educator: Have you heard that most crashes happen within five miles of home? That over 50 percent are within the first six minutes, and that over 90% are within the first hour? This is not only because we do a lot of small trips, but also because we are thinking about other things while we are riding. We think about work, meeting people, the day ahead, a lot of things besides riding a motorcycle. Concentration about what we are doing and attention to what is going on around us is so important. Be careful out there, and have a great time! We have several events planned for September. We hope to see everyone participating.
