March 2021 Page 3 Notes from district director District Director’s Notes: Wow, I can’t believe we are already getting into March, the third month of 2021! It seems like an eternity since last March when we started hearing about this virus that has changed our lives. Vaccinations are here for some and coming for others, and the state is opening up a bit more! Your district team is working hard to plan great activities for you this year. We want to announce a new activity, the Gem State Ride-In scheduled for July 17, 2021 in Challis Hot Springs, ID. The fun will be in the ride there and the companionship after you arrive. You may choose to come early and camp both the 16th and 17th and leave the 18th, but we will plan to socialize on the 17th and depart on the 18th. See the flyer for details and reservation information. You won’t need to RSVP if you plan to ride-in and depart all on the 17th, but we hope you will plan to stay at least one night to meet others in GWRRA. In addition to our new Idaho Bingo, the district is also planning an Ice Cream Trail Ride. Details will be out soon as we are still constructing the trail. The trail ride will be open from April to October, 2021. If you visit at least 4 ice cream locations on the trail, you will earn a free special commemorative pin (both riders and co-riders who are GWRRA members in Idaho are eligible). Get your camera, motorcycle and appetite ready! Don’t forget to get in your reservation for accommodations for the Idaho District Rally – HOT AUGUST NIGHTS, August 13-15 in Kamiah, ID. See the details in the flyer in this newsletter and on our district website www.gwrra-id.us Hope to see you with the sunny side up! Lori Adkins Idaho District Director llmrobinson@yahoo.com

March 2021 Page 5 NOTES FROM DISTRICT RIDER EDUCATOR District Educator’s Notes Where did February go? Hopefully your chapter is busy planning the 2021 ride schedule. The district is busy making plans as well. We are hosting our first District Ride-in. What is a ride-in? Well, the fun is the ride to the destination site and the friends you meet along the way and while you are there. We hope this is one of many more to come and hope to plan them around the state so every chapter can take turns with a shorter ride versus a longer ride to the destination. Our first ride-in will be in Challis Hot Springs, ID on July 17, 2021. Please see the flyer in the March Newsletter or on the website for details and information. Our second ride-in is our Idaho District Rally. For this event, we hope you will arrive on August 13 and depart on August 15. The district committee is making plans for a great time. We will have some rider education available as well. We do have a Road Captains course planned and hope you will take advantage of this course while it is being offered. If you have not taken it, you and your co- rider will learn a lot of information on group riding. Please be sure to sign up on you registration form or contact me If you already sent in you registration but forgot to sign up for the course. The cost is $5 to pay for the patch you will receive upon completion. The cost applies to your co-rider as well if they want a patch. If you have interest in any other rider education classes, please let me know. I am hoping to get a Medic First Aid or first aid/CPR class scheduled soon as well. Please ride safe! Mike Adkins District Rider Educator Michael.l.adkins1957@gmail.com
March 2021 Page 6 Notes From Idaho District Ride Coordinator Hi, everyone, hope this finds all of you safe and healthy. I’m looking forward to a fun 2021. Last year was a year of quarantine, social distancing, and face mask. This year I hope for some wide-open spaces, proper bike spacing on the road, and maybe a little less mask time. In addition to the rides planned by your Chapters, we have a Gem State District Ride planned for the weekend of 17-18 July at Challis Hot Springs Campground. I’ll be there the evening of the 16 th for any who want to come early. I have a camp area reserved, so if you want to spend the night Friday or Saturday, it will cost you $10, which includes use of the hot pools, per night. If you’re just planning on riding in to visit for the day and not use the pools, there’s no charge. There are no planned rides scheduled, your ride from home to the Hot Springs and return will be the adventure. If you plan on staying the night, there’s a fire pit for us to sit around and swap a tale or two. August 13th-15th will find us at Kamiah for the 2021 Idaho District Rally. There will be some organized rides Friday and Saturday, with a light parade through Kamiah Saturday night. We’ll have some classes, drawings, auctions, food, and fun. Hope to see you on the road, ride safe and keep the shiny side up. Dave Hanna, DRC, GWRRA ID
March 2021 Page 7 Notes From District Treasurer Gold Wing Road Riders Association Idaho District Treasurer March 2021 Newsletter The Counting is All Done Yes, we are done with 2020 finances and reporting, well almost, as there are a few things to clean up yet, but for this column, let’s get on to what we joined GWRRA for – RIDING – and finding riders to ride with, and places to go together. I’ve started receiving registrations for “Hot August Nights”, the Idaho Rally in Kamiah, this coming August 13-15. Our District Director, Lori, is trying to find ride leaders for our time there, and she asked me to consider doing that, too. That got me to looking at roads to ride, near Kamiah. I’ve been through there, a number of times, but only riding US Highway 12, which is beautiful in itself, as it follows the Clearwater River and climbs over Lolo Pass into Montana. This is a spectacular route, both to ride, and to enjoy scenery. But there are other equally great roads in the area. I have also ridden Idaho Highway 13, from Grangeville to Kooskia, just upriver from Kamiah on US 12, and this is a fun ride with major elevation change. But there is also the Nezperce Loop, and the Greer Grade to Weippe – both of these routes have significant elevation change, too, and you know that means roads made for motorcycles, and roads with fantastic scenery. You may also want to consider Idaho Highway 14 to Elk City, which follows the South Fork of the Clearwater much of the way. The weather in this area is generally good for “traveling outdoors” in August. Send in your application, make your reservations, pack your bags and come to Kamiah! Gary Evans, Nampa, Idaho So many roads, so little time Gary Evans, Idaho District Treasurer mdkakk@cableone.net
March 2021 Page 9 From the Desk of Idaho Chapter B Director ID-B is still active and we have seen a few new members to join in the last couple of months. We welcome the new members and look forward to getting to know them and them us. Yes, we have snow and some ice here in the Valley this week so the bikes are stuck in the garages. We all are looking forward to spring and some good riding. We have been working on a ride schedule and will working on completing the district Bingo Card. We would like to be the first chapter to win one of the prizes. We have one member talking about going back to Wing Ding this summer. If anybody else is going back, please get in touch with me so that I can tell our member. I am sure he would like somebody to ride with. We had our meeting on the 6 of February. We had 11 members present. Our ACD gave more of his presentation on accidents and what we need to do when we come up on one. We are looking forward to his presentations and what we learn from them. We will keep this short this month. Keep the rubber side down and be safe out there. Bob C ID-B CD
March 2021 Page 10 From the Desk of Idaho Chapter E Director GWRRA IDE Newsletter March 2021 March is here, and Spring is just around the corner. If you haven’t done it already, it’s a good time to start looking at your gear. Check the armor in your jackets. Time isn’t always kind to these and finding out they’re dried out and falling apart right before a ride can be a little annoying. Many helmets have removable liners and cheek pads, pulling them out and cleaning them now means you can start your riding season with a clean, fresh smelling helmet. Was the oil changed before your ride was put away for the Winter? Start the season with fresh oil and fluids as Goldwing's thrive on clean quality fluids and use. Make sure your electronics are working, cords are in good repair, and the radios are doing their job. A bit of attention now means you’re ready when Naurine calls and says she’s ready to go on a ride. Chapter E held it’s first meeting of 2021, and we had a pretty good turnout. A big shoutout to Jean Spencer for posting pictures, it’s much appreciated. Thanks to Naurine Cook and Tom Edwards for another fine ride schedule. Shoshone Falls should be great, there’s always our seafood rides, and this year we have a District ride to Challis Hot Springs and the District Rally in Kamiah. We look forward to seeing everyone again, stay safe and well. Dave and Leslie Hanna, CD, GWRRA IDE
March 2021 Page 11 From the Desk of Idaho Chapter T Director Chapter T Information Like most other chapters in the country, COVID has affected our attendance and participation. As vaccines are becoming available, we hope to start seeing more familiar faces as well as new ones at our gatherings. We did hold our breakfast meeting at Golden Corral on Saturday, February 13. Since Valentine’s Day was so close to our monthly gathering, we scheduled a dinner meet at the restaurant on Sunday, February 21. As always, we enjoyed the fellowship. We did have visitors from Kentucky, Mike & Lori’s family was in town and joined us for our dinner gathering. We did have some fun and good food. Our new chapter ride coordinator is busy pulling together our 2021 ride schedule. We can’t wait for warmer weather to start riding. As I write this article, we sit with inches of snow on the ground here in the Nampa/Boise area. Enjoy your ride!
