Meeting Recap-June 29, 2013

Nine of us were able to meet for this month's meeting, not bad for being in the midst of vacation time.

After viewing and briefly discussing Ken Klaus's latest Baloney Shop we homed in on setting a ride schedule for July and August. We decided to schedule the Wayah Road-Cherohala ride, that was scrubbed earlier because of weather, for July 13th starting at 7 a.m.

August 9th and 10th were set aside for a retry of the overnight trip to Maggie Valley.

There will be more information on these rides as their respective dates approach.

We viewed three short videos that led to a discussion about "target fixation". All the situations seemed to be recoverable but the riders headed straight into trouble with no apparent attempt to avoid the obstructions (a Corvette, a guard rail and bicyclists)

We had some fun with an old Archie Bunker episode, a scooter rider having a bad day and Halfthrottle's "walk around" his well worn BMW GS.

Robert L. gave us a recap of his excitement filled ride to Tennessee including his deer encounter and visor fogging on the Interstate.

Dan gave us a preview of the video he directed and co-starred in that is entered in a contest. Good luck Dan.

After the meeting Larry and Bob (the elder) rode over to Doug's Place in Emerson for lunch and a ride around that area of Bartow County.

Our July meeting will be on July 27th (Korean War Armistice Day)
