Presidents Message

Well, we made it through another hot summer and now it’s starting to cool off a bit. While it still gets hot here in the St George area the rides anywhere up to higher elevation have gotten quite nice with temps dipping down to the 70’s.

David and crew have done a nice job setting up some nice rides to take advantage of the cooler temps up higher with rides to Milford, Duck Creek, North Rim, and Davids ride with the ghost riders to Pipe Springs. Please continue to give David ideas for rides that you would like to take, the more new destinations or long overdue revisits are welcome.

I was fortunate to ride with some family and friends up north this last weekend, we did the Nebo Loop, then up Hwy 89 to Hwy 6 and then up over to Strawberry reservoir and down to Heber City for lunch, then back through Midway and Swiss Days, up over Guardsman Pass and back down Big Cottonwood Canyon to our South Jordan home, it was a beautiful ride.

On a safety note, we are fortunate to ride with some very experienced riders and its nice to be able to take advantage of their knowledge to help keep us safe  during our rides, whether it be learning about tire wear, tire change experiences, tire brands,  proper inflation, timely service, proper gear for changing weather. It’s nice to know that we have so much experience in our club to help keep us safe with all the accidents, injuries, and fatalities among the motorcycle community lately.

On another note, I think its fantastic when member submit ideas of events that our club might be interested in, I try to keep us apprised of local rides and motorcycle events and lately Steve has added some car shows and such, from time to time Mike has informed us of some interesting events. If you come across events that you think may interest our club (motorcycle related or not) please share with the group.

Next, please see our attachment on moving up our yearly meeting to the end of October so that we can take advantage of the weather.
