| From the Rider’s Seat By Roy Hooper The 2008 Ride Calendar is completed and I want to thank Germaine and Carla for their input. Our rides are designed for touring, cruiser and sport bikes so visit our site and see which rides you want to go on. Our new Safety Award Program is in effect and at our Holiday Party in Dec. we gave out our first awards. If a Member buys any type of safety article (jacket, helmet, gloves, etc.) they will get a Cal Coast Motorsports gift card for 10% of the purchase up to $50. For example, Robert Bruce bought a MC jacket with armor for $220 so he received a $20 gift card and Germaine Rotter just completed the $200 Basic Riders Course so she also received a $20 gift card. Add that to the 15% discount that the Cal Coast Riders Members get, you can save quite a bit on your purchases at Cal Coast Motorsports. Winter is here and so is the COLD temperature. If you are looking at heated liners I strongly suggest the new Tourmaster gear. The liner (not vest) is only $179 and it comes with all the wiring including the heat troller which the competition sells for an extra $70. Cal Coast Motorsports does not sell heating gear so I bought mine at Ventura BMW. Since I’ve purchased heated gear I actually look forward to riding in cold weather! CCR |
Ride Summary By Roy Hooper Our November ride to the Leona Valley was postponed due to weather and has been rescheduled for January 13. After we leave Carl’s Jr. on Victoria at 9am we will have a pick up at the Fillmore Burger King 9:30. We will explore the many canyon roads that are waiting for us between Valencia and Palmdale. Our December ride started with the Ventura County Toy Run and ended at the Rotter’s home in Ventura for our Holiday Party. Jeff and Germaine worked very hard on setting up this party and they did an excellent job! So the day started with us giving toys to the kids and finished with 30 hungry Cal Coast Riders getting fed and playing pinball. These are the Members that were able to attend our Holiday Party- Sheila and Paul, Tracy, Rick Bell, Jeff Roe, Jeff Lardner, Larry Meyers and son, Joe and Mariam, Steve Fritz, Lou Vanderveen, Richard Sweet, Eric Grabowski, George and Linda Conahey, Angelo and his wife, John Muller, Robert and Susan Bruce and Jeff and Germaine Rotter and her Mother.

It costs only $12/year to join. ------------------------- Jeff Lardner won last issue’s free lunch quiz and with the New Year all Members are eligible to win again. This issue’s question is-Where and when was America’s biggest nuclear accident? The first Member to email me at  will get a free lunch on the next Club ride they attend. UDPATE- Lots of people responded with "3 Mile Island" but the correct answer is Rocketdyne in Simi Valley which had a major accident in 1959. See video.
