| From
the Rider's Seat By Roy Hooper Men have long dominated the motorcycle scene  and
now the women are gradually moving from the rear seat to the
rider's seat. I am very proud that our Club has SIX lady riders- Wendy-SV650, Carla-FJR, France-FJR, Leah-CBR600, Tracy-Shadow, and Kelly-Shadow. Welcome to this wonderful sport! If you want to become even a better rider I would suggest at least 2 things- 1-ride as much as possible because you learn by doing it. If possible ride with an experienced person who has the same type of bike as you (sport, cruiser, etc.) and watch how they maneuver. 2- take an Experienced Motorcycle Rider Course and learn under a controlled setting. EMRC cost about $90 now and it is worth it. Another option is to sign up for track day like Wendy has but the cost is in the hundreds so it's not feasible for everyone. I also want to acknowledge our lady passengers who keep us company as well. It feels great to share this hobby with the girls. OVERNIGHTERS We have 2 overnighters planned this year and if you are thinking about going it is a good idea to book your rooms now since you can always cancel later. The first one is the Feast Of Lanterns in Pacific Grove on July 28,29,30. We are staying at Lover's Point Inn 625 Ocean View Boulevard Pacific Grove (866) 465-8192 and rates our about $109/night and we will be right on the beach. THESE ROOMS WILL GO FAST. This motel is 2 blocks from downtown and 1 mile form Cannery Row- a relaxing walk. Book your rooms for July 28 and 29. Our other overnighter is the 17th Annual Stater Bros. Route 66 Rendezvous in San Bernardino on Sept. 15-16. Book your WigWam for Saturday night at WigWam Motel 2728 W. Foothill Blvd. Rialto, CA 92376-5333 (909) 875-3005 Visit our web site to get more detailed info on these rides and once you book your room for either of these rides please email me at  so I can add your name to our list.THEN CAME BRONSON In the previous newsletter I mentioned that I just bought the "Then Came Bronson" tv series on dvd for $29. I am half way through the 27  episodes series and of course I am enjoying it. It's
pretty cool seeing some of the guest stars from that era and the
situations that he gets into. This DVD would make a great
birthday gift for the special rider.FREE LUNCH. For our Members, here is

April and May Rides By Roy Hooper We had 13 riders turnout for our Lake Isabella/Kernville ride.  Every year we have a good ride because of the nice backroads going into and out of the Kernville area. Once we stop for lunch in Kernville there are many choices to pick from. Our May ride to Jalama Beach was suggested by our Videographer Jeff Rotter.  We had 12 people ready to go at Carl's in Ventura and when we got to our Santa Barbara stop there were Harley Steve, Angelo and Steve Fritz ready to go too. Our longtime member Darcy from Malibu finally got a free day to ride with us and showed up on his new Hayabusa, leading the group in the above photo. Visit our photo gallery to view the photos and videos of our rides. Video and photos taken by Jeff Rotter- thanks Jeff.
