| From
the Rider's Seat By Roy Hooper In the last couple of months I haven't received any articles for  the newsletter so we have
gone from monthly issues to bi-monthly issues. If you have a
MC related story/article please send it to .OPEN HOUSE I would like to thank the following Members for helping Cal Coast Motorsports and for helping me run our Club booth during their Open House- Jeff Rotter, Tracy, Jeff Roe, Lou Vanderveen, Rick Bell, France, John Duffant, Joe & Mariam Solis, Carla, Tim Bates and Eric. Jeff Rotter brought a VCR player which showed customers what we did on our rides, John Duffant put his bike on the dyno which showed his FJR has 120 horses at the rear wheel and Joe Solis bought a 2006 Yamaha Kenny Roberts Edition R1. MEMBER RENEWALS COMING UP October is the time to renew your annual $12 membership. You can renew early if that works better for you. If you joined BEFORE 2006 then you will need to renew. If you don't remember when you joined just go to your member page and under your photo it will state "Member since..." For renewal instructions visit the Join page. You don't need to fill out the app again but if your address has changed please let me know. You will have to renew if you still want to get the 15% discount at Cal Coast Motorsports and be able to take part in events geared for members only. Email me if you have any questions. FREE LUNCH. For our
Members, here is your chance to win a FREE lunch on the next Club ride
you attend by being the first with the correct answer
to this question- Why do I carry a turkey baster in
my side bag.
If you think you know the answer leave it on my home phone and I will
post your name here- 646-2905. UPDATED ON AUGUST 27- Jeff Roe came up with the answer- In case someone ran out of gas, we would use the baster to transfer enough gas to reach a gas station. It beats using a messy siphon hose. REAGAN LIBRARY Lou suggested stopping at the Reagan Library in Simi during one of our 2007 rides. Admission is $12 and if we get at least 5 riders that want to do this ride then we will put it on for March 2006. Email me asap if you want to do this ride. NEED MC TIRES? This is not an ad for Cal Coast Motorsports but it is well  known now
throughout CALIFORNIA that they have the best
prices on
tires. Craig mentioned to me that they are sold at cost and
if you bring in the wheel they will mount it for free. No need to spend
your valuable time to "shop around" for a better deal, Cal Coast
Motorsports is THE place to buy your next set of tires. Members
Lou rides up from LA for their tires and Carla, who
is very independent,
takes off the wheels on her FJR in her garage, puts them in her truck,
drives to Cal Coast Motorsports and they take care of it from there.
All she pays for is the cost of the new tires! You
just can't beat it.WATCH FOR THE LEFT TURNERS During a 10 day span in July in Ojai Valley there were 4 accidents caused by cars making a left turn when it wasn't safe to do so. The good news is that no MCs were involved. The bad news is that no MCs were involved. These drivers simply were NOT PAYING ATTENTION and if they don't notice a big car approaching them they definitely don't see us! Remember what they taught us in the Advanced Safety Course- Reduce your speed by applying the brakes and this will give you more space and time in case you have to make an evasive maneuver. Applying the brakes will also signal to the vehicles behind you that you are slowing down By the way, as you ride on 33 between Casitas Springs and Miramonte you will notice the huge oil spots where these accidents occurred. DECEMBER PARTY Right after the Ventura County 5th Annual Toy Run in December we plan on having our December/Christmas Party. Two years ago Jerry and Mieko Purdy were great hosts when we had it at their home. This year we want to do at a buffet type restaurant and the Club can pay up to $10 for our active Members. Does anyone have any suggestions? We will also have a gift exchange for those that would like to participate. Just bring a gift that is $10 or less. Ride Safe. CCR Product Review- Cool Vests By Louis Vanderveen I'm marketing cool vests- $39.95 msrp. and to our club for $30.00. This includes the tax and a portion of the sales will go to the Ride for Kids programs. I will even ship the vest locally for only $3.00 shipping and handling. lobsterhunter1@msn.com CCR |
July
and August Rides By Roy Hooper Our July ride to the Santa Paula Oil Museum had 26 riders show up, that's our biggest showing to date. The Club paid for the museum admission for our members to show them our appreciation. Thanks to Joe & Mariam Solis and others who worked out the details so our large group could have a delicious lunch at Santa Paula's El Pascador where they served extra large portions..
Carla suggested going to the Camarillo Car Show and then to the Cold Spring Taverns for lunch as our August ride.
