REMINDER: The monthly Get Together (originally referred to as Staff Meeting) is open to ALL members. If you are interested in what goes on behind the scenes then please come to the get together on the 3rd Thursday at 7 pm at the Obetz Community Center. Just follow the laughs and you will be there. March 28th: The Community of Obetz Annual Easter Egg Hunt was held at 11:00 am at the Sports Complex behind the Village Admin Offices off Alum Creek. All the members who came out and braved the 21o degree weather with wind I want to say Thank You. We took about 20-30 minutes to put the eggs out, but the kids (vacuum cleaners all) swept through in about 2-3 minutes! March 31st: We had 14 members at the dinner at the historic Plank‟s Bar and Grill on Broadway in Grove City. After we enjoyed a wonderful meal and great camaraderie we walked across the street to Capital City Cakes and Ice Cream for our desserts. (Continued on next page)

April 9th: Six ladies got together at the Grove City location of O‟Charley‟s for the monthly lunch. We had a lot of fun and got caught up on what was going on in each other‟s lives. Remember lady Bees we meet for lunch on the second Thursday each month at a different location, so read the newsletter for the next location for our fun lunch. April 11th: The B-3 sponsored Safety Saturday was held in the Obetz Conference Center on this date. We had in attendance Rudy and Linda Copeland, our District Directors as well as Dave and Sally Slonacker who gave a presentation on LegalShield which is giving 4% of enrollees‟ monthly fees to Ohio GWRRA. The District keeps 2% and the other 2% is split and sent to each chapter in Ohio. This is a Win-Win for the Ohio GWRRA. Also, we had two attendees from Chapter P in Medina plus others from Chapter O. We had two Rider Education seminars presented by Jeff Goldblatt and Gary Ballou. We made some money that will go towards the purchase of an AED for the chapter. If you weren‟t there you missed a good time with great company. April 16th: The monthly Get Together was held in the Obetz Craft room at 7 pm. It was well attended by the staff, but only two members attended. April 18th: We had between 16-18 members in attendance at the Marysville Honda Powersports Open House to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Honda Gold Wing. This was a great recruiting opportunity for B-3 and we did talk with a prospective member who rides a GW now, but was interested in the trikes and had lots of questions. Demo rides were available on most of the models they have in stock. Margaret Moore

Odds and ends maintenance items
Have you ever needed to find a matching a metric nut or bolt while
working on your „wing? Most hardware stores have some but their
inventories are rather small. Your local Fastenal may have some or
offer to get them for you if you want a box of 25 +/-. I have tried
Columbus Fastener and they only sell in quantity. I recently found a location here in
Columbus that is a metric specialty fastener source and they will sell in ones or twos
and can match the Honda fasteners that I have needed. The name of the place is Metro
Industries Inc. They are located at 1260 West Goodale Blvd. in Columbus. Their phone
number is 614-487-8200. I was looking for a replacement seat bolt that came with the
Kuryakyn back seat on my wing. Kuryakyn is unable to sell the bolts as replacement
parts. These bolts are 3/8” longer than the factory seat bolts due to the thickness of
bracket that mounts beneath the passenger hand bars.
In preparation for my trip to Fort Sill, Oklahoma I was preparing to inspect and repack
the bearing on my cargo trailer. I noticed some scoring on the interior cone of one
wheel. Knowing that Margaret had had her trailer serviced at Rock‟s Trailer Sales here

in Columbus I called them about bring in my trailer. There earliest opening was mid-
May. My trip is the last or April so went back to the phone book and looked for someone
to contact. I found Williams Trailer Sales that I had dealt with when I had popup
campers was still in business so I contacted them. They said that I could bring it right in
and they would work it in to their schedule and I would have it back in one or two days.
So I dropped it off at 10:00 am that day. I received a call at approximately 4:00 pm that
the trailer was ready for pick up. They had to replace the hubs and bearings on both
sides of the trailer. They are located at 7729 East Main Street in Reynoldsburg, Ohio.
When I went to pick up the trailer I got caught in a major traffic backup due to an
accident. I knew I would be delayed beyond their closing time so I pulled into a parking
lot and called them to let them know I would not be there before they closed. They
offered me directions for a detour and said they would wait form for me. So, if you ever
need some trailer parts or service, I would recommend them

COUPLE OF THE YEAR 2015 Gary and Karen Ballou
The GWRRA Diet My tongue is in my cheek…see
“My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your
ice cream while it’s on your plate.” Thornton Wilder
B-3 is a riding chapter….
We ride for fun…
We ride with friends, current and future…..
Will ride for FOOD!!!
Anyone who reads the papers, books or follows the news, has seen the variety of
„diets‟ that have come and go with amazing regularity. There is the Adkins diet, South
Beach diet, grapefruit diet, rice diet, the Super-Model diet, the Caveman diet and the
Bird diet.
There is a diet that is little known, except to Gold Wingers . It‟s called the Gold
Wing Diet.
You eat sensibly and moderately, making sure to drink plenty of fluids, mostly
water. You ride your motorcycle, stopping at intervals to fill the gas tank, empty your
personal tank, and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner with friends. Most importantly, at
least once a day, you eat ice cream. During the ride, you have worked the legs muscles
walking on breaks and holding yourself on the bike. You have exercised your tushie as
you bounced, slide and reposition on your seat.
(Continued on next page)
http://www.gwrraohb3.org
May 2015 Page 6
Now, the purpose of this diet is fun with friends and maybe to refuel your body,
but I doubt if it will ever let you lose weight. But the purpose isn‟t to lose weight on this
diet. It is to have a great time with great people and maybe see a place you haven‟t
seen before.
The really great thing is you don‟t have to search your GPS or map for the ice
cream shop. Gold Wing seem to have a factory installed homing beacon that
causes the bike to shake if an ice cream shop is passed without stopping, so
the story goes. I think it is a theory that needs to be tested thoroughly. Shall
we test it?
I borrowed this idea from Nick & Terri Riolo, CA-2N See you in the Funny Papers. Gary and Karen Ballou

MOTORIST AWARENESS DIVISION Karen Ballou
THE SNOW HAS MELTED
The snow has finally melted in Ohio. After the snow come the flowers. But along
with the snow drops, crocuses, and daffodils, the orange barrels have begun to grow.
I recently drove almost the entire route of I-270. In that drive I saw 4
major road construction projects beginning or continuing. Soon there will be
100s of major and minor jobs throughout the state, from resurfacing to bridge
replacements and greater.
Motorists need to be aware that these construction zones impede the visibility of
motorcycles even more than usual. As drivers maneuver between semi-trucks, orange
barrels, and construction walls, and driving in close quarters, a motorcycle becomes a
small piece of all the traffic and something easily overlooked as vehicles move along.
During the chapter recent Safety Saturday, the Motorist Awareness presentation
showed that normal traffic blind spots, if ignored, will result in collisions between vehicles
and motorcycles. When you add objects requiring an increase in awareness and
concentration by all drivers, something may give. Not seeing that Smart Car or Fit (they
are sooo small) or the motorcycle may be the “something” that gives. The result is never
good.
Equally, motorcyclist need to plan ahead as much as possible to
prevent encountering roads that may be good enough for cars, but not the
best for bikes. Of course, the largest obstacle to good planning is the speed
at which short term pop up. One weekend the road is open; the next
weekend the road is closed for resurfacing. We do love our GPS a lot at these times.
The website www.pavingtheway.org has lots of information that is up-to-date and
can be very useful as rides are planned and trips taken. There is also a Glove Box Guide
that shows were the 2015 central Ohio road construction projects are located. It is a quick
reference for avoiding those bad areas while getting from here to there. Other states and
AAA have road construction information and a little searching could avoid a nasty problem.
This is why we like to use those wonderful back roads to ride, even if there are times when
the „road ends‟ out there as well.

RIDER EDUCATION Gary and Karen Ballou
Rider Education Article – May 2015
Gary Ballou, Chapter Educator
I have spent a good part of the last two years, preparing for a month-long “bucket list” 12,000 miles
tour of the lower 48 US states. We have heard others stress the importance of “riding your own ride”
and (especially) on long rides I have to believe that carefully choosing your riding partners can make
or break the “fun” of any trip. In this case, my partner is a Masonic brother but a die-hard Harley-rider.
I will ride lead so I don’t have to listen to those “pipes”. We’ll be stopping at every state line where he
“has” to put his helmet on, and he occasionally teases my Level IV habits & GPS route planning
(He’s a “map” guy), But we are great friends and for the most part, his riding preferences & style
are very close to mine. Think like a marathon runner, not a sprinter. Start early in the day & set a
steady pace. Don’t push the speed envelope but don’t stop to water every tree either. Keep the stops
short. Eat light while the ride is on but enjoy a nice evening meal every day. When you’re tired, it’s
time to stop. When you’re really tired, a layover day is not a sin. An occasional 12-14 hour day in
the saddle won’t kill you, but 9-10 hours and 400-600 miles per day will save your body in the long run.
An Iron Butt is not a Happy Butt, no matter what those guys try to tell you.
By the way, he also has the same reputation for attracting rain that I do, so we are already joking
about sending a bill-for-services-rendered to the Governor of the State of California if our trip helps
alleviate their drought.
Since I have never attempted anything of this length before, it has seemed prudent to read & listen
to the experiences of others who have.
Last month I shared an article from Region F Educator Mike Burke about taking Riding Courses to
keep our skills sharp and the “bad habits” to a minimum. I’ve never met Mike, but the following is
from a recent CA District newsletter. This is a gentle reminder to any who might be taking long trips
this year. To any of you who are travelling to Reno Rendezvous, Ride Safe! If you happen to meet
Mike there, tell him he has some fans in Ohio.

Fatigue, Comfort and Staying Alert Fatigue is your enemy on a long ride. This seems obvious but what are the actual effects?
Some of the more dangerous effects are:
1. Decrease in situational awareness. You may begin to concentrate so much on the
road ahead you may notice less of what is going on around you. Will you notice that car
coming up very fast behind you? Does he see you?
2. Increased reaction times. An extra second to react means you will travel an
additional 103 feet at 70 mph before you would attempt to swerve or apply the brake.
3. Sleepiness. While it might seem obvious that sleepiness would result from fatigue,
we must keep in mind that our brains interpret fatigue as a signal to sleep. The greater the
fatigue, the stronger will be the sleep center‟s inducement to sleep. This may trigger sleep
even when unintended – and unanticipated. Micro sleeps are one manifestation of the
body‟s drive to obtain the rest needed to reverse the effects of fatigue. Micro sleeps may
occur during periods of otherwise normal and highly functional activity, causing
unexplained variable and unpredictable performance. Concentration failures can occur
during periods of activity which appear otherwise normal.
Combating Fatigue
1. Begin your ride well rested and don‟t push it to cover that extra hundred miles when
you are already tired if you don‟t have to.
2. Stay Hydrated. Very Important.
3. Proper nourishment. Eating three small meals each day is preferable to having one
or two larger meals. Your brain needs the energy sources food supplies – so breakfast is
important. Because the body‟s circadian rhythm produces a natural drowsiness in mid-
afternoon, a protein and carbohydrate snack can help stave off this effect. Do not overeat.
Large meals are hard to digest and shunt blood and energy away from the brain. Many
small meals are better than a few large feasts.
4. Pain will contribute to fatigue on long rides. Judicious use of Motrin or similar drugs
may help.
5. Wind noise contributes to fatigue. Is your helmet quiet? Do you have your windshield
adjusted to minimize noise and buffeting? (Editors insertion: Wearing soft earplugs can
help.)
(Continued on next page)
http://www.gwrraohb3.org
May 2015 Page 11
6. Eye fatigue will contribute to your overall fatigue. Are your windshield, visor and
glasses clean? (Editor‟s Insertion: Keep your eyes hydrated too! I carry & use moisturizing
eye drops frequently.)
7. Is your seat comfortable? A sore behind is tiring. I don‟t find the seat on my
GL1800 to be particularly good and I have tried a number seat pads to improve matters
with generally poor results. A new custom made seat is probably the answer for me but I‟m
just not ready to spend the money. (Editors insertion: I bought a sheepskin seat cover for
this trip. I‟ll let you know if it helps)
8. Riding gear. I find being too cold or too hot to be very fatiguing. In the winter you can
add layers of fleece or other fabrics or just go to electrics. Cold hands suck and I find my
electric gloves to really help. Riding in the heat is a subject that could fill an article all by
itself. One thing to remember though, the worst thing you can do is to expose your skin to
the hot wind at highway speeds. Think of Convection Ovens. Your body gains more heat
than it loses through evaporation and you become dehydrated faster.
In summary: Be rested, be nourished, be hydrated, and be comfortable.
Following this advice will go a long way towards reducing fatigue.
Have fun, but be safe. “Dress for the Slide, Not for the Ride”
Wear your helmet every time you ride. Gary Ballou
