GWRRA Region N NC District NC D2 We have had a productive month and hope that is the makings of a good year. We had eight of the staff to head off to Winston Salem for the yearly operations meeting. This meeting is beneficial for us to get one on one news about changes, or just refresh our memory of the general infrastructure of our organization. We really had a good time meeting the new people. Our chapter also came away with the Eastern Traveler Plaque and a hundred dollars, ($100), to start our new year off. Lilly, Billy and I opted to go to O’Berry for the Leadership training seminar this past week end. As always it was fun and informative. We always have fun at the classes. Billy and I have gone thru all three classes and Lilly has one more to do. We are starting two new programs in our chapter this month; both have to do with visitation and wearing your colors. There will be a chance of prizes for you, and the chance to have your WOS registration paid. We have all the rules in this newsletter. I think we will have fun doing this. We have some good rides planned and hope that most of you can attend. Don’t forget about the Chili Cook off. If you want to enter the cook off just bring your chili and take a chance of winning $100 -$50-$25. That is good enough odds for me to enter. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Come on out and have fun. We are all about having lots of fun. Have a great ride and don’t forget Deadwood Patricia

The Passport Program is geared to encourage the Members of GWRRA to ride their�motorcycles more to GWRRA events, rallies, Chapter gatherings, etc.�
The Passport books have 64 pages, with 4 spaces on each page, for Members to get�stamps/initials for each place they visit. GWRRA is providing this special website for�this Program.�
To capture those special travel moments, use this Passport when you go to GWRRA�events like Wing Ding, the Trikes & Bikes Rally, your Region or District rally, or a semi-�nar or OCP, etc. At each event (at any GWRRA booth), the Chapter Director, District�Director or Region Director will apply a special stamp or initials (one per event) to rec-�ognize your attendance.�
After completing the entire Passport, send it to the Home Office by July 31, 2012, for�a chance to win a prize and have your name placed on this page. The winners will be�chosen randomly from all entrants.�
Paul Hildebrand, GWRRA's founder, states that •I am looking forward to seeing this�Passport Program bring riding and camaraderie back to the forefront of GWRRA!•�

FROM THE ARCHIVES OF G WRRA RIDER EDUCATION�
A few facts you should know before mounting your bike:�
THE OTHER GUY IS STILL DEADLY�–�Cyclists will collide with cars more�than any other object. In half of the collision accidents, the driver of the other�vehicle was judged�To have made the primary error that caused the crash, and he failed to “perceive”�the�motorcyclist in 70 percent of the two�-�vehicle collisions.�
MA KING SUDDEN STOPS�–�Going either faster or slower than nearby traffic�—�was a contribu ting�factor in 18 percent of the crashes.�
DON’T LEAVE THE PROTECTIVE GEAR HOME OR WEA R IT�CASUALLY!!!�
YOUTH AND ENTHUSIASM�–�Riders between the ages of 18 and 25 years of�age crashed more than their fair share, while riders aged 41 to 55 crashed less�frequent�ly than the exposure data said they should.�
RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF Y OU�–�The study found that 90 percent o f all�threats were in front of the riders who crashed as a result of them.�
BEWARE THE CROSSROADS�–�Over half the accidents happened in�intersection�s.�
TRAINED FO R THIS?? Riders who took some sort of rider training were more�likely to try some sort of avo idance maneuver, such as breaking or swerving. Un�trained riders were more likely to sit and crash without doing anything to prevent�it.�
Ride awar�e; Dress for the slide, not the ride and participate in the Rider Education�Program!!�
