2 PA District Directors Harold and Diane Jackson How many of you said I m not going to stuff myself at Thanksgiving this year? Did any of you keep your promise? I didn t, I just finished eating, took a little nap, watched some football and now I am sitting down to write this article. I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving and was able to enjoy family and friends and took time to be thankful. Now we start the month of December and festivities for the season begin. Be sure to check out the PA District calendar to see the list of chapter parties this month and in January. This is the last full month to sell the PA District raffle tickets. We hope you have been selling the tickets. Can t think of a gift to give that person who is hard to buy for; how about a PA District Raffle Ticket! They make great Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers. Give the tickets to people you want to say thank you to, such as your waiter/waitress, mail carrier, garbage collector, lawn service or the person that removes snow. Keep in mind that for evey ticket you sell you are helping your Chapter. Tickets and money need to be turned in on or before Jaunuary 15, 2019 to Mike Prince, PA ADD. It is time to turn in Officer Change Paperwork. Who is an officer? GWRRA officers in the chapter are Chapter Director, Chapter Treasurer, Chapter Membership Enhancement Coordinator and Chapter Rider Coordinator and Assistants for the officers listed. The PA District website has the current forms and instructions to fill out the forms listed under the District then go to Officer Paperwork. Thank you for helping us get this paperwork completed before the end of the year. It is time to get those registration in for Ride of the Roses ; the PA District Rally being held May 16-18, 2019 in York, PA at the Wyndham Garden. There are several classes and events that have limited size so, get your registration in early! Due to several requests, there is an Advance Rider Course (ARC) being offered on Wednesday. And don t forget to book your room at the hotel. 2

4 Hello Friends, PA Chapter N, The Lost Patrol CHAPTER DIRECTOR & ASSISTANT DIRECTOR FROM YOUR CHAPTER DIRECTOR & ASSISTANT CHAPTER DIRECTOR SEASON S GREETINGS Well, I can t believe this year is almost done and this is the last article for The year has gone by so fast but Esther and I are looking forward to 1 more year with you all. If 2019 is anything like 18, it will be a blast. As we look back in 2018 our chapter has had yet another year in memories. Remember the 1 st party of the year at the Root s After New Year shindig, a Hee Haw of an Anniversary Party, the award winning PA District Rally with an amazing display of talent (if I say so myself), University seminars, dinners, destination rides, chapter birthdays, wedding anniversaries, campouts, support of our Veterans, chapter gatherings and, oh yes, don t forget the Ultimate Ice Cream ride. Now looking forward to 2019, we have a very full calendar. New rides are planned and some old re-visited. New members coming in and old members returning. All is lined up for a year of fun, friends and fellowship, as it should be. We don t know what the New Year will bring, but one thing I m sure of is: through all the laughs and tears, we will face it together as a strong and caring chapter family. We want to wish you and yours a Safe & Happy Holiday and God Bless. Your Little Elves, Diana & Esther 4

6 PA Chapter N, The Lost Patrol DISTRICT EDUCATORS FROM YOUR PA DISTRICT EDUCATOR Hi Everyone: With the arrival of the winter season, I think that most of us have prepared or are in the process of preparing the wings for winter storage. In case you do ride in the cold, remember that cold catalytic converters allow water to exit the exhaust system at stop signs and/or traffic lights. This water can freeze creating a very slick surface just about where your tires may be when coming to a stop or starting out. As you start to think about the 2019 riding season here are some things for you to ponder, as well as some SAFETY TIPS to think about during the long winter season: You feel better about going to your doctor knowing that he has the proper medical training. You would feel more confident going to traffic court knowing that your lawyer had the proper legal training. YOU AND YOUR CO-RIDER WILL ENJOY MOTORCYCLING A LOT BETTER KNOWING THAT YOU HAVE THE PROPER RIDER EDUCATION AND TRAINING. Make a commitment to improve and practice your riding skills in 2019 and become involved in the Rider Education Program. 6

7 PA Chapter N, The Lost Patrol DISTRICT EDUCATORS Some Safety Tips to consider as you prepare your bike/trike and yourself for the upcoming riding season: Tip #1: Check/tighten the screws that hold the face-shield on your helmet to prevent them from ripping off in the breeze. Tip #2: The T-CLOCK inspection list that should be hanging on the wall next to the Wing. Follow it! Tip #3: One thing forgotten is that your riding skills will be sharply off. Amazing how a bit of down time can reduce your skills. When you first start back riding, take it easy for a bit and refresh your skills. Allow your body to remember how to ride. Tip #4: If you are a winter rider, WATCH out for everything, remember no one will be looking for a motorcycle so early in the year, take nothing for granted, THEY MAY NOT SEE YOU. Again, we encourage everyone to get involved in the Rider Education program to improve your riding skills and knowledge so that you and your passenger enjoy the ride and return home safely. Ride Safe and Ride Proud Chuck & Evelyn Stone PA DISTRICT EDUCATORS 7
