Hello Everyone,                                                          February 2012

From: Rodd Polk, LA District Educator”

            First let me start by saying thank you to all the people that came to the LA District meeting. I would also like to thank all the Chapter Educators for their effort and input on how to make Louisiana the best District in Education, it is a Team effort.  Wow!!  Everyone had enthusiasm about getting involved in the GWRRA Riders Safety Programs.  The Regional Rally at Marshall, TX will be putting on a PLP Certified Training Seminar.  If you would like to become one, please contact me or John Bourg ASAP.  The class is filling up fast.  Once again we are approaching the best part of the riding season with record heat and a lot of traffic, so PLEASE everyone wear the proper gear and drink plenty of water.  And Remember, cars & trucks have had 3 months of not seeing many motorcycles on the road.

  

Thoughts for safe Riding for February

TIPS

 

1.      We are approaching the most DANGEROUS months to ride and the most active time of the year for bikers!  But we all know it is also the most active time for autos.  So Please KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN!  And use the knowledge that you have, and practice your safe riding skills.  Most of all HAVE FUN!  That is what it is all about.

 

2.              Heat and dehydration are the most common problems that occur during the summer riding months.  So, please remember to drink plenty of water and keep your arms covered and wear the proper riding gear.

 

3.             Make sure that your oil level and air pressure are correct. This will have a great effect on your bike's performance.

 

Hope that everyone has a safe and fun summer.  Ride safe, be safe, look out for the other guy!!!  I will see you all soon!
