FROMTHEHEADFOXCA1F Chapter Director

Steve Sprenkle

Hello fellow foxes,

Roslynn and I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving, I know that we had a great day. We

ate too much as usual, and the le overs we brought home will last for a few more days.

I believe this will be my last newsle er as your Chapter Director. As you all know by now, I will

be stepping down and Mary Brinker will be stepping in as my successor. She will be formally

sworn in during the Officer’s conference on January 25, 2020.

Wow 2020 already... where does the me go?

However, I will not be gone. I will be staying on as the Chapter’s Membership Enhancement

Coordinator, and I am planning on bringing back theme’s. I also will be taking over the

50/25/25, and will be doing birthday, and anniversary cards — mailing them out as well.

Due to the weather, please, if you ride be very careful, and ride with extra thought in what you

are doing. Make sure you are aware of your surroundings, and pay more a en on to the other

vehicles that are all around you.

We are making prepara ons for the Chapter’s FunRun which will be on March 14, 2020, keep

you eyes open for details as we get closer. I will let you in on a li le bit: the FunRun will be held

at MotoWorld of El Cajon. We are planning some fun, some great prizes, and we (the FunRun

commi ee) would like to invite you to also donate things you wouldn’t mind ge ng, like gi

cards or anything you may want to give.

Well I guess that is enough for now, remember “you don’t get old having fun,

you get old when you stop having fun”

Un l next me!

Where Can I Take an Advanced or Experienced Rider Course?

We are frequently asked where these courses are available so here is a list of the courses in California that are accepted by GWRRA National Rider Education. If you come upon a class that is not listed, please contact us and we’ll check to be sure it’s approved before you take it.

GWRRA offers Advanced Rider and Trike Rider Courses at various times throughout the year. Gen-erally these are available at District rallies and at Wing Ding. Additionally if an instructor and an appro-priate facility are available the courses may be available at other times during the year and we will put that information out to the Chapter.

Lee Parks Total Control Advanced Rider Clinic now runs the California Motorcyclist Safety Program for the CHP. The schedule is available on line & course locations vary.

Additionally if you are former military and have access to a base, you can take the Total Control Inter-mediate course on a space available basis. Unfortunately they do not take trikes.

Street Masters Precision Cornering Workshop is based out of Corona and the course is held in Rosamond at the Willow Springs Race Track on Horsethief Mile. All their information is available on line. They do a trike class as well as a 2-wheel class.

The Honda Rider Education Center in Coulton is located close to the 215/10 freeway junction at 1301 Via Venita. Their phone # is 909-430-3000. The contact person is Gary Johnson and Mercedes does the class scheduling. The class is open to all GWRRA Members. The BRC-2 class (formerly known as the Experienced Rider Course or ERC) takes 4-5 hours primarily on the course and costs $75. There also is a 7 hour ERC class targeted to Military sport bike riders.

You can call and fit into an already scheduled class or a group of 5-6 can arrange their own group class. If a second instructor is available the class could be 10-12 students. Unfortunately, they do not take trikes.

We hope this information is helpful.
