During the late 1920s there were 5000 of them in Newark NY and Baltimore MD alone but who has ever heard of an Indian taxi Photos of these vehicles must exist in old family albums or are stacked in dusty drawers of historical societies but the only ones Irsquove discovered were in the archives of the Indian Motocycle
Company in Springfield MA
One reprinted photo appeared in the in-house promotional magazine but all other references seem to have disappeared like an Apache covering his tracks These and others are the lost Indians Looking like a piece of rattan (wicker) patio furniture mounted on springs and a tubular frame the first sidecar was built by Alex Levedahl in 1902 and fitted to an Indian motorcycle Ironically it was offered to the public in 1903 under the Thor brand

One of few Indian Traffic Cars to have survived resides in the Wheels Through Time museum
This new Delivery Van was introduced in August 1927 for the 1928 model year Although this was one of the
pre made models the company advertised custom build designs according to the nature of the business This one was fitted with two Gladstone bags a brief case a portable typewriter and a complete assortment of riding
Itrsquos hard to determine what happened to these Indian models as the turbulent years from 1928 to 1930 were filled with a succession of four different presidents and boards of directors It was a time of stock manipulation and secret projects even in the aftermath of Black Friday The Indian Shock Absorber and Indian Ventilator were being manufactured the experimental car project was axed and a natural gas powered refrigerator was developed then terminated by another incoming president The Indian Arrow outboard motor was acquired and improved under one president
promoted by another and terminated by a third Two completely different and separate airplane projects took place during that short era--the development of the Tridar amphibious plane and the building of the Continental A-40 prototype engine for the Piper Club ldquoTaylorcraftrdquo The Indian company acquired controlling interest in Du Pont Motors in April 1930 and within a month the du Ponts purchased control of Indian The assembly of the last Du Pont cars took place in the motorcycle factory until January 1932 Somehow out of the tumultuous dust cloud of those years a new Indian motorcycle emergedThe anecdotal story about the development of the modern trike is that Indianrsquos chief engineer Charles Franklin was in a conversation with the management of the local Packard car dealership about the difficulty and cost in having to use two men to make repair and delivery calls to their customers Franklin went back to his office
designed a 101 Scout with two rear wheels and a differential axle and within a few weeks the service vehicle prototype was ready for testing In reality there was a special session of the board of directors on April 21 1930 where a motion was approved to seek the acquisition of the Stern three-wheeled delivery vehicle patents The Stern brothers ndashAlbert Joseph Julius and Ernestmdashhad invented a three-wheeled vehicle and at least one of their patents--filed on July 2 1930 patent 1877609 granted on September 13 1932mdashwas subsequently assigned to the Indian Motocycle Company What really happened is anyonersquos guess The Indian Dispatch-Tow (101 DT) was introduced as a 1931 model but the design drawing for Sternsrsquo patent leaves no doubt as to who invented the modern chassis-type trike There were at least three interesting passenger versions built on the Dispatch-Tow chassis

One had a basic rear buggy-like seat another a couch-like bench and a third design had two comfortable bucket seats The history of the Dispatch-Tow has always seemed to be well documented even for the very rare 1939 Traffic Car (VC-13) but the discovery of this series of photographs has shaken my faith I now suspect that more Indians were lost during another chaotic decade filled with corporate incompetence
changing markets and World War II The Indian Side Car and the Delivery Van survived as long as the company did but design drawings and photos show that Indianrsquos designers were developing new styles as late as 1948 The Dispatch-Tow survived longer than the Springfield factory being built under the same name but as a British motorcycle Still I often wonder if in some foreign warehouse or rural barn there might still be a lost Indian waiting to be found The 1914 electrified motorcycle wouldnrsquot have required the heavy acetylene systemThe only modifications made to this stock electric model were the addition of an engine belly pan and
3-inch wide tires that required removal of the rear fender He covered 33789 miles from San Diego to New York in 11 days 12 hours and 10 minutes and earned himself the nickname ldquoCannonballrdquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample

Someone stole all my credit cards but I wonrsquot be

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

Patrol both introduced during the last two months of 1927The Bandit Chaser was an armored police vehicle with protective shields made of 116-inch ldquocruciblerdquo steel with windows of 78-inch safety glass and a gun port The Princess sidecar was lined with armor plate and there were leg shields of the same material for the driver It was claimed to be completely bullet proof and the armor to add only

One of few Indian Traffic Cars to have survived resides in the Wheels Through Time museum
This new Delivery Van was introduced in August 1927 for the 1928 model year Although this was one of the
pre made models the company advertised custom build designs according to the nature of the business This one was fitted with two Gladstone bags a brief case a portable typewriter and a complete assortment of riding
Itrsquos hard to determine what happened to these Indian models as the turbulent years from 1928 to 1930 were filled with a succession of four different presidents and boards of directors It was a time of stock manipulation and secret projects even in the aftermath of Black Friday The Indian Shock Absorber and Indian Ventilator were being manufactured the experimental car project was axed and a natural gas powered refrigerator was developed then terminated by another incoming president The Indian Arrow outboard motor was acquired and improved under one president
promoted by another and terminated by a third Two completely different and separate airplane projects took place during that short era--the development of the Tridar amphibious plane and the building of the Continental A-40 prototype engine for the Piper Club ldquoTaylorcraftrdquo The Indian company acquired controlling interest in Du Pont Motors in April 1930 and within a month the du Ponts purchased control of Indian The assembly of the last Du Pont cars took place in the motorcycle factory until January 1932 Somehow out of the tumultuous dust cloud of those years a new Indian motorcycle emergedThe anecdotal story about the development of the modern trike is that Indianrsquos chief engineer Charles Franklin was in a conversation with the management of the local Packard car dealership about the difficulty and cost in having to use two men to make repair and delivery calls to their customers Franklin went back to his office
designed a 101 Scout with two rear wheels and a differential axle and within a few weeks the service vehicle prototype was ready for testing In reality there was a special session of the board of directors on April 21 1930 where a motion was approved to seek the acquisition of the Stern three-wheeled delivery vehicle patents The Stern brothers ndashAlbert Joseph Julius and Ernestmdashhad invented a three-wheeled vehicle and at least one of their patents--filed on July 2 1930 patent 1877609 granted on September 13 1932mdashwas subsequently assigned to the Indian Motocycle Company What really happened is anyonersquos guess The Indian Dispatch-Tow (101 DT) was introduced as a 1931 model but the design drawing for Sternsrsquo patent leaves no doubt as to who invented the modern chassis-type trike There were at least three interesting passenger versions built on the Dispatch-Tow chassis

One had a basic rear buggy-like seat another a couch-like bench and a third design had two comfortable bucket seats The history of the Dispatch-Tow has always seemed to be well documented even for the very rare 1939 Traffic Car (VC-13) but the discovery of this series of photographs has shaken my faith I now suspect that more Indians were lost during another chaotic decade filled with corporate incompetence
changing markets and World War II The Indian Side Car and the Delivery Van survived as long as the company did but design drawings and photos show that Indianrsquos designers were developing new styles as late as 1948 The Dispatch-Tow survived longer than the Springfield factory being built under the same name but as a British motorcycle Still I often wonder if in some foreign warehouse or rural barn there might still be a lost Indian waiting to be found The 1914 electrified motorcycle wouldnrsquot have required the heavy acetylene systemThe only modifications made to this stock electric model were the addition of an engine belly pan and
3-inch wide tires that required removal of the rear fender He covered 33789 miles from San Diego to New York in 11 days 12 hours and 10 minutes and earned himself the nickname ldquoCannonballrdquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample

Someone stole all my credit cards but I wonrsquot be

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching

ragingly successful season They have a ton of events planned to support our local kidsOther vendors included Uncle Buckrsquos ndash they make the BEST beef jerky around this part of the country and members of the Grandview Hutterite colony were out with some amazing gloves both gauntlets and working gloves The quality of the tanning dying and stitching is utterly fabulous Righteous Cycles was the only local bike shop on hand but they had lots to offerA wide variety of parts were on hand for almost
every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

Patrol both introduced during the last two months of 1927The Bandit Chaser was an armored police vehicle with protective shields made of 116-inch ldquocruciblerdquo steel with windows of 78-inch safety glass and a gun port The Princess sidecar was lined with armor plate and there were leg shields of the same material for the driver It was claimed to be completely bullet proof and the armor to add only

The 1931 Indian Dispatch-Tow originated from this patent design although the very similar appearing Traffic Car

One of few Indian Traffic Cars to have survived resides in the Wheels Through Time museum
This new Delivery Van was introduced in August 1927 for the 1928 model year Although this was one of the
pre made models the company advertised custom build designs according to the nature of the business This one was fitted with two Gladstone bags a brief case a portable typewriter and a complete assortment of riding
Itrsquos hard to determine what happened to these Indian models as the turbulent years from 1928 to 1930 were filled with a succession of four different presidents and boards of directors It was a time of stock manipulation and secret projects even in the aftermath of Black Friday The Indian Shock Absorber and Indian Ventilator were being manufactured the experimental car project was axed and a natural gas powered refrigerator was developed then terminated by another incoming president The Indian Arrow outboard motor was acquired and improved under one president
promoted by another and terminated by a third Two completely different and separate airplane projects took place during that short era--the development of the Tridar amphibious plane and the building of the Continental A-40 prototype engine for the Piper Club ldquoTaylorcraftrdquo The Indian company acquired controlling interest in Du Pont Motors in April 1930 and within a month the du Ponts purchased control of Indian The assembly of the last Du Pont cars took place in the motorcycle factory until January 1932 Somehow out of the tumultuous dust cloud of those years a new Indian motorcycle emergedThe anecdotal story about the development of the modern trike is that Indianrsquos chief engineer Charles Franklin was in a conversation with the management of the local Packard car dealership about the difficulty and cost in having to use two men to make repair and delivery calls to their customers Franklin went back to his office
designed a 101 Scout with two rear wheels and a differential axle and within a few weeks the service vehicle prototype was ready for testing In reality there was a special session of the board of directors on April 21 1930 where a motion was approved to seek the acquisition of the Stern three-wheeled delivery vehicle patents The Stern brothers ndashAlbert Joseph Julius and Ernestmdashhad invented a three-wheeled vehicle and at least one of their patents--filed on July 2 1930 patent 1877609 granted on September 13 1932mdashwas subsequently assigned to the Indian Motocycle Company What really happened is anyonersquos guess The Indian Dispatch-Tow (101 DT) was introduced as a 1931 model but the design drawing for Sternsrsquo patent leaves no doubt as to who invented the modern chassis-type trike There were at least three interesting passenger versions built on the Dispatch-Tow chassis

This Art-Deco inspired Indian trike design was actually produced for the Wobber Company Wouldnrsquot I like to
have one of these Designed in 1948 it never made it off the drawing boards
yet it looks remarkably like the Ariel made by Ducati

One had a basic rear buggy-like seat another a couch-like bench and a third design had two comfortable bucket seats The history of the Dispatch-Tow has always seemed to be well documented even for the very rare 1939 Traffic Car (VC-13) but the discovery of this series of photographs has shaken my faith I now suspect that more Indians were lost during another chaotic decade filled with corporate incompetence
changing markets and World War II The Indian Side Car and the Delivery Van survived as long as the company did but design drawings and photos show that Indianrsquos designers were developing new styles as late as 1948 The Dispatch-Tow survived longer than the Springfield factory being built under the same name but as a British motorcycle Still I often wonder if in some foreign warehouse or rural barn there might still be a lost Indian waiting to be found The 1914 electrified motorcycle wouldnrsquot have required the heavy acetylene systemThe only modifications made to this stock electric model were the addition of an engine belly pan and
3-inch wide tires that required removal of the rear fender He covered 33789 miles from San Diego to New York in 11 days 12 hours and 10 minutes and earned himself the nickname ldquoCannonballrdquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

One of few Indian Traffic Cars to have survived resides in the Wheels Through Time museum
This new Delivery Van was introduced in August 1927 for the 1928 model year Although this was one of the
pre made models the company advertised custom build designs according to the nature of the business This one was fitted with two Gladstone bags a brief case a portable typewriter and a complete assortment of riding
Itrsquos hard to determine what happened to these Indian models as the turbulent years from 1928 to 1930 were filled with a succession of four different presidents and boards of directors It was a time of stock manipulation and secret projects even in the aftermath of Black Friday The Indian Shock Absorber and Indian Ventilator were being manufactured the experimental car project was axed and a natural gas powered refrigerator was developed then terminated by another incoming president The Indian Arrow outboard motor was acquired and improved under one president
promoted by another and terminated by a third Two completely different and separate airplane projects took place during that short era--the development of the Tridar amphibious plane and the building of the Continental A-40 prototype engine for the Piper Club ldquoTaylorcraftrdquo The Indian company acquired controlling interest in Du Pont Motors in April 1930 and within a month the du Ponts purchased control of Indian The assembly of the last Du Pont cars took place in the motorcycle factory until January 1932 Somehow out of the tumultuous dust cloud of those years a new Indian motorcycle emergedThe anecdotal story about the development of the modern trike is that Indianrsquos chief engineer Charles Franklin was in a conversation with the management of the local Packard car dealership about the difficulty and cost in having to use two men to make repair and delivery calls to their customers Franklin went back to his office
designed a 101 Scout with two rear wheels and a differential axle and within a few weeks the service vehicle prototype was ready for testing In reality there was a special session of the board of directors on April 21 1930 where a motion was approved to seek the acquisition of the Stern three-wheeled delivery vehicle patents The Stern brothers ndashAlbert Joseph Julius and Ernestmdashhad invented a three-wheeled vehicle and at least one of their patents--filed on July 2 1930 patent 1877609 granted on September 13 1932mdashwas subsequently assigned to the Indian Motocycle Company What really happened is anyonersquos guess The Indian Dispatch-Tow (101 DT) was introduced as a 1931 model but the design drawing for Sternsrsquo patent leaves no doubt as to who invented the modern chassis-type trike There were at least three interesting passenger versions built on the Dispatch-Tow chassis

This Art-Deco inspired Indian trike design was actually produced for the Wobber Company Wouldnrsquot I like to

yet it looks remarkably like the Ariel made by Ducati
In Search Of Lost IndiansContinued from Previous Page
One had a basic rear buggy-like seat another a couch-like bench and a third design had two comfortable bucket seats The history of the Dispatch-Tow has always seemed to be well documented even for the very rare 1939 Traffic Car (VC-13) but the discovery of this series of photographs has shaken my faith I now suspect that more Indians were lost during another chaotic decade filled with corporate incompetence
changing markets and World War II The Indian Side Car and the Delivery Van survived as long as the company did but design drawings and photos show that Indianrsquos designers were developing new styles as late as 1948 The Dispatch-Tow survived longer than the Springfield factory being built under the same name but as a British motorcycle Still I often wonder if in some foreign warehouse or rural barn there might still be a lost Indian waiting to be found The 1914 electrified motorcycle wouldnrsquot have required the heavy acetylene systemThe only modifications made to this stock electric model were the addition of an engine belly pan and

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

The Mother answered ldquoGod made Adam and Eve they had children and so all mankind was maderdquo
A few days later the little girl asked her father the same question The father answered ldquoMany years ago there were monkeys and we developed from themrdquo
The confused girl returns to her mother and says ldquoMom how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and Papa says we developed from monkeysrdquo

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sapEffects Like the Giant Hogweed its sap contains chemical products which on human skin can cause reactions similar to serious burns rashes or blistersPlaces Disturbed environments (abandoned yards open fields alongside roads etc)Take note The plantrsquos chemical composition is known to reduce weight gain and decrease fertility in cattle that eat itCanadian provinces where it is found In all provinces and territories with the exception of NunavutSources Canadian Biodiversity Information Facility from Governement of Canada Ministry of Natural Resources from Governement of OntarioPoison IvyDescription A woody perennial plant with creeping climbing or bushy glossy leaves
Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
In Search Of Lost IndiansThe Indian Parcel Car became one of the first post-war production models offered for 1920 The 1920s saw side cars designed as taxis and all manner of specialty delivery vehicles The Indian Motocycle Company actively promoted the use of sidcar-equipped motorcycles for retail businesses during this decade Their 1928 brochure advertises the Indian Service Car with ldquosix novel body designs to choose fromrdquo and the chassis sold for $65 compared to $100 for a Princess Sidecar Two of the more interesting of the lost Indians are the ldquoIndian Bandit Chaserrdquo and Indian Chief Fire
Patrol both introduced during the last two months of 1927The Bandit Chaser was an armored police vehicle with protective shields made of 116-inch ldquocruciblerdquo steel with windows of 78-inch safety glass and a gun port The Princess sidecar was lined with armor plate and there were leg shields of the same material for the driver It was claimed to be completely bullet proof and the armor to add only

The 1931 Indian Dispatch-Tow originated from this patent design although the very similar appearing Traffic Car

One of few Indian Traffic Cars to have survived resides in the Wheels Through Time museum
This new Delivery Van was introduced in August 1927 for the 1928 model year Although this was one of the
pre made models the company advertised custom build designs according to the nature of the business This one was fitted with two Gladstone bags a brief case a portable typewriter and a complete assortment of riding
Itrsquos hard to determine what happened to these Indian models as the turbulent years from 1928 to 1930 were filled with a succession of four different presidents and boards of directors It was a time of stock manipulation and secret projects even in the aftermath of Black Friday The Indian Shock Absorber and Indian Ventilator were being manufactured the experimental car project was axed and a natural gas powered refrigerator was developed then terminated by another incoming president The Indian Arrow outboard motor was acquired and improved under one president
promoted by another and terminated by a third Two completely different and separate airplane projects took place during that short era--the development of the Tridar amphibious plane and the building of the Continental A-40 prototype engine for the Piper Club ldquoTaylorcraftrdquo The Indian company acquired controlling interest in Du Pont Motors in April 1930 and within a month the du Ponts purchased control of Indian The assembly of the last Du Pont cars took place in the motorcycle factory until January 1932 Somehow out of the tumultuous dust cloud of those years a new Indian motorcycle emergedThe anecdotal story about the development of the modern trike is that Indianrsquos chief engineer Charles Franklin was in a conversation with the management of the local Packard car dealership about the difficulty and cost in having to use two men to make repair and delivery calls to their customers Franklin went back to his office
designed a 101 Scout with two rear wheels and a differential axle and within a few weeks the service vehicle prototype was ready for testing In reality there was a special session of the board of directors on April 21 1930 where a motion was approved to seek the acquisition of the Stern three-wheeled delivery vehicle patents The Stern brothers ndashAlbert Joseph Julius and Ernestmdashhad invented a three-wheeled vehicle and at least one of their patents--filed on July 2 1930 patent 1877609 granted on September 13 1932mdashwas subsequently assigned to the Indian Motocycle Company What really happened is anyonersquos guess The Indian Dispatch-Tow (101 DT) was introduced as a 1931 model but the design drawing for Sternsrsquo patent leaves no doubt as to who invented the modern chassis-type trike There were at least three interesting passenger versions built on the Dispatch-Tow chassis

This Art-Deco inspired Indian trike design was actually produced for the Wobber Company Wouldnrsquot I like to
have one of these Designed in 1948 it never made it off the drawing boards
yet it looks remarkably like the Ariel made by Ducati
In Search Of Lost IndiansContinued from Previous Page
One had a basic rear buggy-like seat another a couch-like bench and a third design had two comfortable bucket seats The history of the Dispatch-Tow has always seemed to be well documented even for the very rare 1939 Traffic Car (VC-13) but the discovery of this series of photographs has shaken my faith I now suspect that more Indians were lost during another chaotic decade filled with corporate incompetence
changing markets and World War II The Indian Side Car and the Delivery Van survived as long as the company did but design drawings and photos show that Indianrsquos designers were developing new styles as late as 1948 The Dispatch-Tow survived longer than the Springfield factory being built under the same name but as a British motorcycle Still I often wonder if in some foreign warehouse or rural barn there might still be a lost Indian waiting to be found The 1914 electrified motorcycle wouldnrsquot have required the heavy acetylene systemThe only modifications made to this stock electric model were the addition of an engine belly pan and
3-inch wide tires that required removal of the rear fender He covered 33789 miles from San Diego to New York in 11 days 12 hours and 10 minutes and earned himself the nickname ldquoCannonballrdquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo
ldquoFrom the hunger you meanrdquo asked the doctor

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

A little girl asked her mother ldquoHow did the human race come aboutrdquo
The Mother answered ldquoGod made Adam and Eve they had children and so all mankind was maderdquo
A few days later the little girl asked her father the same question The father answered ldquoMany years ago there were monkeys and we developed from themrdquo
The confused girl returns to her mother and says ldquoMom how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and Papa says we developed from monkeysrdquo

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

One of few Indian Traffic Cars to have survived resides in the Wheels Through Time museum
This new Delivery Van was introduced in August 1927 for the 1928 model year Although this was one of the
pre made models the company advertised custom build designs according to the nature of the business This one was fitted with two Gladstone bags a brief case a portable typewriter and a complete assortment of riding
Itrsquos hard to determine what happened to these Indian models as the turbulent years from 1928 to 1930 were filled with a succession of four different presidents and boards of directors It was a time of stock manipulation and secret projects even in the aftermath of Black Friday The Indian Shock Absorber and Indian Ventilator were being manufactured the experimental car project was axed and a natural gas powered refrigerator was developed then terminated by another incoming president The Indian Arrow outboard motor was acquired and improved under one president
promoted by another and terminated by a third Two completely different and separate airplane projects took place during that short era--the development of the Tridar amphibious plane and the building of the Continental A-40 prototype engine for the Piper Club ldquoTaylorcraftrdquo The Indian company acquired controlling interest in Du Pont Motors in April 1930 and within a month the du Ponts purchased control of Indian The assembly of the last Du Pont cars took place in the motorcycle factory until January 1932 Somehow out of the tumultuous dust cloud of those years a new Indian motorcycle emergedThe anecdotal story about the development of the modern trike is that Indianrsquos chief engineer Charles Franklin was in a conversation with the management of the local Packard car dealership about the difficulty and cost in having to use two men to make repair and delivery calls to their customers Franklin went back to his office
designed a 101 Scout with two rear wheels and a differential axle and within a few weeks the service vehicle prototype was ready for testing In reality there was a special session of the board of directors on April 21 1930 where a motion was approved to seek the acquisition of the Stern three-wheeled delivery vehicle patents The Stern brothers ndashAlbert Joseph Julius and Ernestmdashhad invented a three-wheeled vehicle and at least one of their patents--filed on July 2 1930 patent 1877609 granted on September 13 1932mdashwas subsequently assigned to the Indian Motocycle Company What really happened is anyonersquos guess The Indian Dispatch-Tow (101 DT) was introduced as a 1931 model but the design drawing for Sternsrsquo patent leaves no doubt as to who invented the modern chassis-type trike There were at least three interesting passenger versions built on the Dispatch-Tow chassis

This Art-Deco inspired Indian trike design was actually produced for the Wobber Company Wouldnrsquot I like to
have one of these Designed in 1948 it never made it off the drawing boards
yet it looks remarkably like the Ariel made by Ducati
In Search Of Lost IndiansContinued from Previous Page
One had a basic rear buggy-like seat another a couch-like bench and a third design had two comfortable bucket seats The history of the Dispatch-Tow has always seemed to be well documented even for the very rare 1939 Traffic Car (VC-13) but the discovery of this series of photographs has shaken my faith I now suspect that more Indians were lost during another chaotic decade filled with corporate incompetence
changing markets and World War II The Indian Side Car and the Delivery Van survived as long as the company did but design drawings and photos show that Indianrsquos designers were developing new styles as late as 1948 The Dispatch-Tow survived longer than the Springfield factory being built under the same name but as a British motorcycle Still I often wonder if in some foreign warehouse or rural barn there might still be a lost Indian waiting to be found The 1914 electrified motorcycle wouldnrsquot have required the heavy acetylene systemThe only modifications made to this stock electric model were the addition of an engine belly pan and
3-inch wide tires that required removal of the rear fender He covered 33789 miles from San Diego to New York in 11 days 12 hours and 10 minutes and earned himself the nickname ldquoCannonballrdquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

But is not only that Mum Irsquom pregnant and Ahmed said that we will be very happy in his trailer in the woods He wants to have many more children with me and thatrsquos one of my dreams Irsquove learned that marijuana doesnrsquot hurt anyone and wersquoll be growing it for us and his friends who are providing us with all the cocaine and ecstasy we may want
In the meantime wersquoll pray for the science to find the AIDS cure for Ahmed to get better he deserves it Donrsquot worry Mom Irsquom 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself Some day Irsquoll visit for you to know your grandchildren Your daughter Judith
PS Mum itrsquos not true Irsquom at the neighbourrsquos house I just wanted to show you that there are worse things in life than my report card thatrsquos in the desk drawer

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo
Wanna buy a toothbrushrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
Itrsquos hard to determine what happened to these Indian models as the turbulent years from 1928 to 1930 were filled with a succession of four different presidents and boards of directors It was a time of stock manipulation and secret projects even in the aftermath of Black Friday The Indian Shock Absorber and Indian Ventilator were being manufactured the experimental car project was axed and a natural gas powered refrigerator was developed then terminated by another incoming president The Indian Arrow outboard motor was acquired and improved under one president
promoted by another and terminated by a third Two completely different and separate airplane projects took place during that short era--the development of the Tridar amphibious plane and the building of the Continental A-40 prototype engine for the Piper Club ldquoTaylorcraftrdquo The Indian company acquired controlling interest in Du Pont Motors in April 1930 and within a month the du Ponts purchased control of Indian The assembly of the last Du Pont cars took place in the motorcycle factory until January 1932 Somehow out of the tumultuous dust cloud of those years a new Indian motorcycle emergedThe anecdotal story about the development of the modern trike is that Indianrsquos chief engineer Charles Franklin was in a conversation with the management of the local Packard car dealership about the difficulty and cost in having to use two men to make repair and delivery calls to their customers Franklin went back to his office
designed a 101 Scout with two rear wheels and a differential axle and within a few weeks the service vehicle prototype was ready for testing In reality there was a special session of the board of directors on April 21 1930 where a motion was approved to seek the acquisition of the Stern three-wheeled delivery vehicle patents The Stern brothers ndashAlbert Joseph Julius and Ernestmdashhad invented a three-wheeled vehicle and at least one of their patents--filed on July 2 1930 patent 1877609 granted on September 13 1932mdashwas subsequently assigned to the Indian Motocycle Company What really happened is anyonersquos guess The Indian Dispatch-Tow (101 DT) was introduced as a 1931 model but the design drawing for Sternsrsquo patent leaves no doubt as to who invented the modern chassis-type trike There were at least three interesting passenger versions built on the Dispatch-Tow chassis

This Art-Deco inspired Indian trike design was actually produced for the Wobber Company Wouldnrsquot I like to
have one of these Designed in 1948 it never made it off the drawing boards
yet it looks remarkably like the Ariel made by Ducati
In Search Of Lost IndiansContinued from Previous Page
One had a basic rear buggy-like seat another a couch-like bench and a third design had two comfortable bucket seats The history of the Dispatch-Tow has always seemed to be well documented even for the very rare 1939 Traffic Car (VC-13) but the discovery of this series of photographs has shaken my faith I now suspect that more Indians were lost during another chaotic decade filled with corporate incompetence
changing markets and World War II The Indian Side Car and the Delivery Van survived as long as the company did but design drawings and photos show that Indianrsquos designers were developing new styles as late as 1948 The Dispatch-Tow survived longer than the Springfield factory being built under the same name but as a British motorcycle Still I often wonder if in some foreign warehouse or rural barn there might still be a lost Indian waiting to be found The 1914 electrified motorcycle wouldnrsquot have required the heavy acetylene systemThe only modifications made to this stock electric model were the addition of an engine belly pan and
3-inch wide tires that required removal of the rear fender He covered 33789 miles from San Diego to New York in 11 days 12 hours and 10 minutes and earned himself the nickname ldquoCannonballrdquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

The Mother answered ldquoGod made Adam and Eve they had children and so all mankind was maderdquo
A few days later the little girl asked her father the same question The father answered ldquoMany years ago there were monkeys and we developed from themrdquo

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching

ragingly successful season They have a ton of events planned to support our local kidsOther vendors included Uncle Buckrsquos ndash they make the BEST beef jerky around this part of the country and members of the Grandview Hutterite colony were out with some amazing gloves both gauntlets and working gloves The quality of the tanning dying and stitching is utterly fabulous Righteous Cycles was the only local bike shop on hand but they had lots to offerA wide variety of parts were on hand for almost
every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
In Search Of Lost IndiansContinued from Previous Page
One had a basic rear buggy-like seat another a couch-like bench and a third design had two comfortable bucket seats The history of the Dispatch-Tow has always seemed to be well documented even for the very rare 1939 Traffic Car (VC-13) but the discovery of this series of photographs has shaken my faith I now suspect that more Indians were lost during another chaotic decade filled with corporate incompetence
changing markets and World War II The Indian Side Car and the Delivery Van survived as long as the company did but design drawings and photos show that Indianrsquos designers were developing new styles as late as 1948 The Dispatch-Tow survived longer than the Springfield factory being built under the same name but as a British motorcycle Still I often wonder if in some foreign warehouse or rural barn there might still be a lost Indian waiting to be found The 1914 electrified motorcycle wouldnrsquot have required the heavy acetylene systemThe only modifications made to this stock electric model were the addition of an engine belly pan and
3-inch wide tires that required removal of the rear fender He covered 33789 miles from San Diego to New York in 11 days 12 hours and 10 minutes and earned himself the nickname ldquoCannonballrdquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo
ldquoFrom the hunger you meanrdquo asked the doctor

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

The Mother answered ldquoGod made Adam and Eve they had children and so all mankind was maderdquo
A few days later the little girl asked her father the same question The father answered ldquoMany years ago there were monkeys and we developed from themrdquo
The confused girl returns to her mother and says ldquoMom how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and Papa says we developed from monkeysrdquo

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

But is not only that Mum Irsquom pregnant and Ahmed said that we will be very happy in his trailer in the woods He wants to have many more children with me and thatrsquos one of my dreams Irsquove learned that marijuana doesnrsquot hurt anyone and wersquoll be growing it for us and his friends who are providing us with all the cocaine and ecstasy we may want
In the meantime wersquoll pray for the science to find the AIDS cure for Ahmed to get better he deserves it Donrsquot worry Mom Irsquom 15 years old now and I know how to take care of myself Some day Irsquoll visit for you to know your grandchildren Your daughter Judith
PS Mum itrsquos not true Irsquom at the neighbourrsquos house I just wanted to show you that there are worse things in life than my report card thatrsquos in the desk drawer

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo
Wanna buy a toothbrushrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo
ldquoFrom the hunger you meanrdquo asked the doctor
ldquoNo from the fuckinrsquo skippinrsquordquo

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

Human Race
A little girl asked her mother ldquoHow did the human race come aboutrdquo
The Mother answered ldquoGod made Adam and Eve they had children and so all mankind was maderdquo
A few days later the little girl asked her father the same question The father answered ldquoMany years ago there were monkeys and we developed from themrdquo
The confused girl returns to her mother and says ldquoMom how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and Papa says we developed from monkeysrdquo

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching

ragingly successful season They have a ton of events planned to support our local kidsOther vendors included Uncle Buckrsquos ndash they make the BEST beef jerky around this part of the country and members of the Grandview Hutterite colony were out with some amazing gloves both gauntlets and working gloves The quality of the tanning dying and stitching is utterly fabulous Righteous Cycles was the only local bike shop on hand but they had lots to offerA wide variety of parts were on hand for almost
every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo
ldquoFrom the hunger you meanrdquo asked the doctor

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

A little girl asked her mother ldquoHow did the human race come aboutrdquo
The Mother answered ldquoGod made Adam and Eve they had children and so all mankind was maderdquo
A few days later the little girl asked her father the same question The father answered ldquoMany years ago there were monkeys and we developed from themrdquo
The confused girl returns to her mother and says ldquoMom how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and Papa says we developed from monkeysrdquo

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

ragingly successful season They have a ton of events planned to support our local kidsOther vendors included Uncle Buckrsquos ndash they make the BEST beef jerky around this part of the country and members of the Grandview Hutterite colony were out with some amazing gloves both gauntlets and working gloves The quality of the tanning dying and stitching is utterly fabulous Righteous Cycles was the only local bike shop on hand but they had lots to offerA wide variety of parts were on hand for almost
every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
I hate Mondays but probably not for the same reasons most of you dislike them
I generally love my job helping riders find the news and information that is important to them BUT
Today like every riding season Monday the news feeds are FILLED with crashes that took place over the weekend
Page after page of crash stories some about dead riders some about injured riders and some about those who got lucky
It is my job to sift through the feeds and find the information that is pertinent to Canadians and sadly I found information on three crashes all in Ontario
In the first crash a rider hit and killed a dog but
suffered minor injuries himself the second article is about a lady rider in critical condition and the third article is about a rider who died
In the case of the lady ride an east bound pickup struck her north bound motorcycle and the driver was charged with careless driving
In the case of the rider who died he got into some gravel and hit the ditch
Folks WE riders have to become so hyper aware out there we need to sharpen our skills
My heart is breaking for the families of these riders
Itrsquos not a great start to the work week and with the long weekend coming I am seriously concerned for the riding community - I beg you - PLEASE be hyper aware of your surroundings
Get out in a parking lot and practise your emergency stopping make sure your tires are inflated properly and that your motorcycle is in good repair
One other thing I would like you to consider please
wear good gear it might save your life save you tons of healing time and with the condition of our roadways and so many who drive other automobiles not paying attention or being aware isnrsquot that little extra piece of mind worth it

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo
ldquoFrom the hunger you meanrdquo asked the doctor
ldquoNo from the fuckinrsquo skippinrsquordquo

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

A little girl asked her mother ldquoHow did the human race come aboutrdquo
The Mother answered ldquoGod made Adam and Eve they had children and so all mankind was maderdquo
A few days later the little girl asked her father the same question The father answered ldquoMany years ago there were monkeys and we developed from themrdquo
The confused girl returns to her mother and says ldquoMom how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and Papa says we developed from monkeysrdquo
The Mother answers ldquoWell dear it is very simple I told you about the origin of my side of the family and your father told you about his siderdquo

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

Okay Okay it all makes sense now I never looked at it this way before MENtal illness MENstrual cramps MENtal breakdown MENopause GUYnecologist
And when we have REAL trouble itrsquos a HISterectomy Ever notice how all of womenrsquos problems start with MEN
Whatrsquos the difference between chopped beef and pea soupEveryone can chop beef but not everyone can pea soup
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sapEffects Like the Giant Hogweed its sap contains chemical products which on human skin can cause reactions similar to serious burns rashes or blistersPlaces Disturbed environments (abandoned yards open fields alongside roads etc)Take note The plantrsquos chemical composition is known to reduce weight gain and decrease fertility in cattle that eat itCanadian provinces where it is found In all provinces and territories with the exception of NunavutSources Canadian Biodiversity Information Facility from Governement of Canada Ministry of Natural Resources from Governement of OntarioPoison IvyDescription A woody perennial plant with creeping climbing or bushy glossy leaves
Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
So how many folk REALLY LOOK at their tires How often do you look at them What are you looking forPossibly the most important part of a bike safety wise are the tires Think about it these are the sole contact between the road and the bike they are
how we stop start and go around corners If the tires are too soft or too hard the bike handles VERY poorly if the tires are too worn they will not grip the road in wet conditions and are prone to going flat If you are using the wrong kind of tire for your bike that too will contribute to poor performance On a bike the contact patch is so much smaller than for a car or truck so therefore it is that much more important to us the rider
Here are some things to watch forAge of the tire How do we know what the age of the tire is Look on the side wall of the tire there will be a code which on one side of the tire will start with DOT and have at least 12 characters after the DOT the last set of numbers are the ones which will tell you the date (on the other side of the tire the code will only be the date code) Since 2000 the last set fo numbers will be four numbers the first two numbers will tell you in which week of the year the tire was made the last two will designate the year So for example 3412 this tire was made in the 34th week of 2012 Hopefully you are not riding on tires made before 2000 Tires that are too old are too hard and will not grip the road Likewise the age of the tire will affect the warranty manufacturers will warranty a tire for five years from
the date of manufacture andor four years from the date of purchase (side note here is yet another reason to keep your receipts) Tire air pressure There are notations on your bike and in the owners manual which will tell you the air pressures you should run Typically these are different pressures front and back and will also be different for differing ride conditions whether riding two-up high speed or regular riding A word of caution here until you are familiar with your bike
and how it handles follow these guide lines exactly and even after that follow these fairly closely Too little air will lead to very poor handling and the possibility that your tire might come off the rim under sever conditions like a hard corner Too high a pressure will lead to early failure of the tire and also premature wear
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo
ldquoFrom the hunger you meanrdquo asked the doctor
ldquoNo from the fuckinrsquo skippinrsquordquo

Volunteers
Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

Human Race
A little girl asked her mother ldquoHow did the human race come aboutrdquo
The Mother answered ldquoGod made Adam and Eve they had children and so all mankind was maderdquo
A few days later the little girl asked her father the same question The father answered ldquoMany years ago there were monkeys and we developed from themrdquo
The confused girl returns to her mother and says ldquoMom how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and Papa says we developed from monkeysrdquo

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
Tirewheel balance As important as wheel balance is on a car consider that on a bike it is even more so on a bike A rear tire that is out of balance will contribute to sever fatigue in the rider and be bad for the general handling amongst other problems If the front tirewheel is out of balance this can be a much more dangerous problem steering will be hard in minor cases and almost impossible in the extreme If the front tire is unbalanced there will be ldquospeed wobblerdquo which can easily upset the bike even at lower speedsTread condition When tires are made there is a ldquowear barrdquo moulded in this bar will show when the tire has reached what the manufacturer feels is the limit of safe remaining tread on the tire When you see the ldquowear barrdquo get the tire replaced because any further wear will just be dangerous to you and others When you are on your new tires be cautious for the first 100 or so km because in that first little layer of rubber will be some remnants of ldquomould release compoundrdquo This ldquomould release compoundrdquo is a very slippery substance that is sprayed into the mould just before the rubber is injected so that the tire will not stick to the mould which makes for poor to low traction till it has
been worn off If it has or is raining when you go to pick your bike up after a tire change to new tires consider putting of picking your bike up till conditions are dryAs always you the rider are responsible check you tire pressures everyday you ride and have a good look at the condition of the tires at least once a week look for gouges slices bulges chunks missing from the tread or anything else that ldquodoesnrsquot look quite rightrdquo The life you save will probably be your ownRide safe we would rather talk to you than about you

A Newfie was terribly overweight so the doctor put her on a diet
ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

A little girl asked her mother ldquoHow did the human race come aboutrdquo
The Mother answered ldquoGod made Adam and Eve they had children and so all mankind was maderdquo
A few days later the little girl asked her father the same question The father answered ldquoMany years ago there were monkeys and we developed from themrdquo
The confused girl returns to her mother and says ldquoMom how is it possible that you told me that the human race was created by God and Papa says we developed from monkeysrdquo

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sapEffects Like the Giant Hogweed its sap contains chemical products which on human skin can cause reactions similar to serious burns rashes or blistersPlaces Disturbed environments (abandoned yards open fields alongside roads etc)Take note The plantrsquos chemical composition is known to reduce weight gain and decrease fertility in cattle that eat itCanadian provinces where it is found In all provinces and territories with the exception of NunavutSources Canadian Biodiversity Information Facility from Governement of Canada Ministry of Natural Resources from Governement of OntarioPoison IvyDescription A woody perennial plant with creeping climbing or bushy glossy leaves

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

ldquoI want you to eat regularly for 2 days then skip a day then eat regularly again for 2 days then skip a day Repeat this procedure for 2 weeks The next time I see you you should have lost at least 5 poundsrdquo
When the Newfie returned she shocked the doctor by having lost nearly 60 lbs
ldquoWhy thatrsquos amazingrdquo the doctor said ldquoDid you follow my instructionsrdquo
The Newfie nodded ldquoIrsquoll tell you though be jaesuz I trsquoaut I were going to drop dead on dat lsquotird dayrdquo

Eleven women were clinging precariously to a wildly swinging rope suspended from a crumbling outcropping on Mount Everest Ten were blonde one was a brunette
As a group they decided that one of the party should let go
If that didnrsquot happen the rope would break and everyone would perish
For an agonizing few moments no one volunteered
Finally the brunette gave a truly touching speech saying she would sacrifice herself to save the lives of the others
All the blondes applauded

Productive Salesmanship ndash A Little Johnny Joke
The kids filed back into class Monday morning They were very excited
Their weekend assignment was to sell something
then give a talk on productive salesmanship
Little Mary led off ldquoI sold girl scout cookies and I made $30rdquo she said proudly ldquoMy sales approach was to appeal to the customerrsquos civil spirit and I credit that approach for my obvious successrdquo
ldquoVery goodrdquo said the teacher
Little Sally was next ldquoI sold magazinesrdquo she said ldquoI made $45 and
I explained to everyone that magazines would keep them abreast of current eventsrdquo
ldquoVery good Sallyrdquo said the teacher
Eventually it was Little Johnnyrsquos turn
Little Johnny walked to the front of the classroom and dumped a box full of cash on the teacherrsquos deskrdquo$2467rdquo he said
ldquo$2467rdquo cried the teacher ldquoWhat in the world were you sellingrdquo
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo said Little Johnny
ldquoTooth brushesrdquo echoed the teacher ldquoHow could you possibly sell enough tooth brushes to make that much moneyrdquo
ldquoI found the busiest corner in townrdquo said Little Johnny ldquoI set up a Dip amp Chip stand I gave everybody who walked by a sample
They all said the same thing
Hey this tastes like shit
Then I would sayrdquo It is shitrdquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

ragingly successful season They have a ton of events planned to support our local kidsOther vendors included Uncle Buckrsquos ndash they make the BEST beef jerky around this part of the country and members of the Grandview Hutterite colony were out with some amazing gloves both gauntlets and working gloves The quality of the tanning dying and stitching is utterly fabulous Righteous Cycles was the only local bike shop on hand but they had lots to offerA wide variety of parts were on hand for almost
every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

Someone stole all my credit cards but I wonrsquot be

When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

the equipment they needed when they needed it amazed merdquo This is where the Ride for MS and the funds raised from this event come into play ldquoThe society informs the participant of this event annually at the dinner as to how the funds raised were used which is importantrdquo says Good ldquothe feeling you get when a recipient of these funds find out you are a participant of the event that helped them obtain a piece of equipment gives you a hug and says thank you is surrealrdquoJoin us on Sunday September 21st and make someonersquos wish for a better quality of life become a reality For more information you may contact Shar at (519) 798-3858 or by email at shar54xplornetca SUBJECT Ride for MS

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

it was the first year that she was actually able to process the overwhelming amount of supportIn the last three years motorcyclists werenrsquot the only ones who turned out for the memorial ridemdashthousands of spectators stood at the side of the road to cheer the riders on at the different stops All participants of the Bob Probert Ride have risen over $300000 to fund the expansion of the cardiac care unit at Hocirctel Dieu Grace Hospital Windsor unfortunately has one of the highest rates of cardiac emergencies in Canada and there is not enough room to meet the demands As a result routine procedures are often rescheduled to make way for emergency cases Dani Probert and the hospital boardrsquos ultimate goal are to make the unit open 247 and have two beds available for angioplasty instead of just oneItrsquos hard to put into words how the communityrsquos support has helped Dani and her four children Brogan Tierney Jack and Declyn after such an immense loss In addition the family looks forward to this yearrsquos ride being even bigger with riders from

the equipment they needed when they needed it amazed merdquo This is where the Ride for MS and the funds raised from this event come into play ldquoThe society informs the participant of this event annually at the dinner as to how the funds raised were used which is importantrdquo says Good ldquothe feeling you get when a recipient of these funds find out you are a participant of the event that helped them obtain a piece of equipment gives you a hug and says thank you is surrealrdquoJoin us on Sunday September 21st and make someonersquos wish for a better quality of life become a reality For more information you may contact Shar at (519) 798-3858 or by email at shar54xplornetca SUBJECT Ride for MS

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
When We RideTalk with a group of riders and yoursquoll soon realize that the reasons we choose to ride a motorcycle are very different for each and every one of us The riding community in Saskatchewan is made up of a very diverse and broad group of people Many of us ride alone or with a few friends never joining or belonging to a club organization or group We simply plate our motorcycles and ride every chance we get
In 2013 there were 27439 motorcycles registered (at some part of the riding season by either plates
or permits) These motorcycles were registered in 626 different locations We are literally spread ALL OVER this province
All of us do share 4 common things1 the roads we ride on2 the traffic we ride with3 the reality that we all have zero control over
what another driver rider is going to do when in traffic on the highway in a parking lot or basically anywhere
4 that we need to be aware alert and riding for any and all situations at all times
It does not matter how long yoursquove been riding the type of motorcycle you are riding your age the others you may be riding with the length of your hair how cool your jacket is the type of gear to choose to (or not to) wear and on and on and on
The only thing that matters is how much you are paying attention when you are riding and that you are riding to your own personal ability as a rider
In Saskatchewan the top major reasons a motorcyclist uses when an accident does occur are
1 Inattention - yeshellipmotorcyclists use this as a reason when they have an accident
2 Road condition excessive loose gravel ndash ride for the conditions of the road you seeing in front of you and that you are on Loose gravel and dirt on the road surface is a huge problem all year roundhellipnot just till the roads are cleaned in the Cities
3 Driver inexperience confusion ndash there are a lot of new riders out there and riders who are returning to their motorcycles after many years This has nothing to do with the age of a rider
4 Wild life (animals) ndash yes we do a lot of riding where there is wild life
5 Careless Driving Stunting ndash going too fast passing improperly following too closely etc
This information was taken from a Causation Study done from 2007 ndash 2012 by Traffic Safety Services ndash SGI
So when you get on your motorcycle for the first time this seasonhellipand every time you ride Please rememberhellip
bull ride like you will never be given the right of way
bull ride like you are never seenbull watch the conditions of the road you
are riding on at all timesBe defensive alert aware and always on guard

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

ragingly successful season They have a ton of events planned to support our local kidsOther vendors included Uncle Buckrsquos ndash they make the BEST beef jerky around this part of the country and members of the Grandview Hutterite colony were out with some amazing gloves both gauntlets and working gloves The quality of the tanning dying and stitching is utterly fabulous Righteous Cycles was the only local bike shop on hand but they had lots to offerA wide variety of parts were on hand for almost
every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching

ragingly successful season They have a ton of events planned to support our local kidsOther vendors included Uncle Buckrsquos ndash they make the BEST beef jerky around this part of the country and members of the Grandview Hutterite colony were out with some amazing gloves both gauntlets and working gloves The quality of the tanning dying and stitching is utterly fabulous Righteous Cycles was the only local bike shop on hand but they had lots to offerA wide variety of parts were on hand for almost
every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

it was the first year that she was actually able to process the overwhelming amount of supportIn the last three years motorcyclists werenrsquot the only ones who turned out for the memorial ridemdashthousands of spectators stood at the side of the road to cheer the riders on at the different stops All participants of the Bob Probert Ride have risen over $300000 to fund the expansion of the cardiac care unit at Hocirctel Dieu Grace Hospital Windsor unfortunately has one of the highest rates of cardiac emergencies in Canada and there is not enough room to meet the demands As a result routine procedures are often rescheduled to make way for emergency cases Dani Probert and the hospital boardrsquos ultimate goal are to make the unit open 247 and have two beds available for angioplasty instead of just oneItrsquos hard to put into words how the communityrsquos support has helped Dani and her four children Brogan Tierney Jack and Declyn after such an immense loss In addition the family looks forward to this yearrsquos ride being even bigger with riders from

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

every brand of motorcycle out there and there were some jewelry and clothing vendors on hand as wellThere were only two vacant tables The traffic was good and the ANAVETS club did a brisk business selling breakfast and later lunchThe one thing I love about these season opener events is that a person gets to see people that

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
FreedomIt is a hard concept to really truly wrap your mind around We here in the west are quick to pound our chest and proclaim that we are the proud and free The sad thing is freedom is a mirage lingering on the horizon For many of us we work an honest day work ride our bikes in the mean time we complain about politics to our friends but we never really do anything about it other than some grumbles We could be plopped down in any part of the world and our lives would change very little That is not freedom - only the allusion of freedom
As we sit idly by watching our police forces militarize we blindly seek out more rules more regulations Irsquom not sure what the tipping point was what had caused us to shift our focus from freedom true freedom to regulation I do remember growing up in the seventies We didnrsquot have clasps and locks on the cabinets our mothers never absently minded left us in the kitchen by ourselves When I was bad in school I was sent to the Principalrsquos office and was punished by a leather strap across my behind (I still donrsquot swear)
Trying out for sport teams was a try out Not everyone made the team The ones that didnrsquot spent the year shooting pucks into pails snagging baseballs rolling off of roofs until we were good enough to make the team the next year We had winners and losers and even in the playground
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo
when the next goal won each and every one of us knew exactly what the score was and who the real winner was It drove us to be better Sports were not for everyone though Those that didnrsquot excel on the field read books created art Of my friends growing up some went on to play in the NHL my cousin is a mover and shaker in Silicon Valley designing and programming many of the things we use today Others became mechanics and plumbers-the blue collar workers who keep this world running Yet others became doctors and lawyers others became successful actors and musicians teachers and mothers But somewhere someone decide to level the playing field that we were all special little stars Everyone made the team everyone got a medal That it wasnrsquot fair that someone would succeed where others couldnrsquot That parenting should fall on someone elsersquos shoulder - daycares teachers the government Society forgot that it was suppose to be harder for the asthma kid with the deformed leg to play sports Society forgot that those disadvantaged who truly wanted and worked hard still found success We threw away personal responsibility personal accountability If a person backs over a kid in their driveway its not because they are a bad driver
not because they are a bad parent not because they were not paying attention - it is because the company didnrsquot put sensors on the back of the car If a kid shoots up a school its not because of mental illness not because of bad parenting or teaching
- its because the government didnrsquot take away our guns (Considering the recent rash of stabbings in schools and malls it is obvious that person will use any and all things) Each of these small steps was on our freedom pushing it a little farther down into the dirt Our last freedom is freedom of speech that Irsquom allowed to speak my mind here Freedom as long as Irsquom mindful of sponsors event organizersWhen will we regain our freedom Should we regain our freedom Read K Randall Ballrsquos Sam Chopper Orwell to find out what will happen if we donrsquot

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sapEffects Like the Giant Hogweed its sap contains chemical products which on human skin can cause reactions similar to serious burns rashes or blistersPlaces Disturbed environments (abandoned yards open fields alongside roads etc)Take note The plantrsquos chemical composition is known to reduce weight gain and decrease fertility in cattle that eat itCanadian provinces where it is found In all provinces and territories with the exception of NunavutSources Canadian Biodiversity Information Facility from Governement of Canada Ministry of Natural Resources from Governement of OntarioPoison IvyDescription A woody perennial plant with creeping climbing or bushy glossy leaves
Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo

lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

Toxic part Its sapEffects Like the Giant Hogweed its sap contains chemical products which on human skin can cause reactions similar to serious burns rashes or blistersPlaces Disturbed environments (abandoned yards open fields alongside roads etc)Take note The plantrsquos chemical composition is known to reduce weight gain and decrease fertility in cattle that eat itCanadian provinces where it is found In all provinces and territories with the exception of NunavutSources Canadian Biodiversity Information Facility from Governement of Canada Ministry of Natural Resources from Governement of OntarioPoison IvyDescription A woody perennial plant with creeping climbing or bushy glossy leaves
Toxic part Its sap contains a toxic resin (present in all parts of the plant except the pollen) Any contact with a broken part of the plant a contaminated object or an animal runs the risk of provoking a reaction The seriousness of the reaction depends on individual sensitivity the amount of sap in contact with the skin and exposed areas of the body
Effects A rash manifested by intense itching and redness Swelling and blisters can also be seen all usually between 24 to 48 hours after contact
Places River banks clearings the edge of the woods along roads etc
Take note Inhalation of smoke coming from burning Poison Ivy plants provokes an extremely painful eruption of the lining of the lungs which can lead to respiratory problems and even death

Itrsquos a beautiful day and you feel like going for a ride on your ATV UTV or motorcycle On the trails along the roads and waterways or on the edge of the woods there are sometimes toxic plants that are dangerous to our health Poison Ivy is more common but others are not as well known such as Giant Hogweed To help you identify them when you make stops during these rides let me show in this article three toxic plants that you may come acrossGiant HogweedShort story Originating in the Caucasus it was probably introduced to North America as an ornamental plant It has since taken root and become widespread in many European countries as well as Australia New Zealand the United States and Canada In Quebec it is considered to be an invasive alien plantDescription It can measure 2 to 5 metres high and 30 centimetres to 1 metre after mowing or cutting Its stem is robust covered in white hairs and raspberry red to purple spots spread out and well defined The leaves can reach up to 15 metres
wide by 3 metres longToxic part Its sap (a colourless odourless liquid secreted by all parts of the plant)Effects Contact with the sap followed by exposure to the sun is odourless but can produce dermatitis up to 48 hours after exposure This is characterized by redness of the skin and swelling blisters or even skin lesions at times serious resembling first or second-degree burnsPlaces Disturbed wetlands (along waterways
ditches roads etc)Take note After the wounds heal brown or white spots can linger for many months or even years on the affected areas and they can remain sensitive to the lightCanadian provinces where it is found British Columbia Ontario Quebec New BrunswickSources Deacutevelopppement durable Environnement Faune et Parcs du gouvernement du Queacutebec Santeacute et services sociaux du Queacutebec (French version only) Espace pour la vie de MontreacutealWild ParsnipDescription The flowers have light yellow-green umbels The first year the plant generally presents a low rosette of fusiform leaves while the roots are developing and flowers in the second year on a long stem before dying

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

I just got back from a pleasure trip I took my mother-in-law to
A car mechanic received a repair order that said to check for a clanking noise when going around corners so he took the car out for a test drive and made a right turn then a left turn each time hearing a loud clunk
When he arrived back at the garage he returned the car to the service manager with this note lsquoRemoved bowling ball from trunkrsquo
A recently widowed Jewish lady was sitting on a beach towel at Cocoa Beach Florida She looked up and noticed that a man her age had walked up placed his blanket on the sand nearby and began reading a bookSmiling she attempted to strike up a conversation with him lsquoHello sir how are yoursquolsquoFine thank yoursquo he responded and turned back to his booklsquoI love the beach Do you come here oftenrsquo she askedlsquoFirst time since my wife passed away last yearrsquo he replied and again turned back to his book
lsquoDo you live around herersquo she askedlsquoYes I live over in Suntreersquo he answered and then resumed readingTrying to find a topic of common interest Sarah persisted lsquoDo you like pussycatsrsquoWith that the man threw his book down jumped off his blanket onto hers tore off both their swimsuits and gave her the most passionate ride of her lifeAs the cloud of sand began to settle Sarah gasped and asked the man lsquoHow did you know that was what I wantedrsquoThe man replied lsquoHow did you know my name was Katzrsquo

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life

Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose

My mother taught me TO APPRECIATE A JOB WELL DONE
ldquoIf yoursquore going to kill each other do it outside I just finished cleaningrdquo
There arenrsquot too many things in life that are predictable but ocean tides are one of them
Our family just returned from a short vacation on a Vancouver Island beach and I found the tides fascinating
Incoming tides covered the beach and at high tide you could literally see all the sandcastles wood forts and creations literally disappear under the water never to be seen again
The outgoing tides revealed a clean fresh canvas and some sea-life caught in the tidal pools left behind or laying helplessly on the beach Seagulls swooped down to shell covered areas of the beach in search of oysters that had been stranded on the half kilometer sandy beach as the eagles hovered above looking for their next snack
I could not help but think about the lsquoTides of Lifersquo where we know that until our number comes up and we face eternal judgment each day the sun will come up we will spend time with those people whom we love (family friends) and with people whom we would most likely prefer not to be spending time with (school work) and we will experience all the good and not so good that the
tides of life bring our way Night will come and in the morning we will repeat the cycle all over again
As a born-again believer I felt the tide analogy was an appropriate one The ocean washes away everything left on the beach and when we ask Christ for the forgiveness of our sins he literally washes them away Check out this verse from ldquoOur Ownerrsquos Manual for Liferdquo found in Psalm 103 verse 12 ldquoHe has removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the westrdquo
Our biker church exists to take the ldquoGood Newsrdquo and the ldquoSalvation Messagerdquo to un-churched bikers here on the West Coast In fact our prayer is that the Holy Spirit would become like a raging wildfire touching the hearts and lives of bikers resulting in an assurance of eternity with our Jesus in heaven and a life on this earth that takes on new meaning and purpose
If you think riding your scoot along a seaside highway on a hot summerrsquos day is something special just wait until you do it when Jesus Christ is at the controls of your lifehellip there is no greater lsquohighrsquo and bigger lsquorushrsquo than this All it takes is a few short words ask Jesus to forgive you for your sins tell him you that you want him to be Lord of your life Follow this up with prayer and bible reading and oh yeahhellip believe that he does in fact lsquohave your backrsquo in this life
