FROM THE HEAD FOX Chapter Director
Steve Sprenkle
The Officers conference is over, and we have our Chapter Ride Coordinator installed. You all
know who it is, right? Well if you don’t, I will tell you. It is our very own Bud Brinker. Let’s all
rally behind him and support him with the rides he comes up with. If you want to go on spe-
cific ride, let him know because he must let the District know how many rides we actually go
on, not how many we have scheduled. He does not have to lead them all, so he will be asking
for others to help lead the rides.
If anyone has anything that you would like to see on the calendar, please let me know, and I
will ensure that it gets on the website calendar. My email address is cd.ca1f@gmail.com or call
858-688-0029.

Check and Track Your GWRRA Rider Education Levels
Recently, GWRRA National has made it possible for all of us to be able to track our Rider Education Levels status,
riding courses and seminar information. This site allows you to only see your information but does not allow you
to change or add to it.
To access your information, go to the GWRRA National website (GWRRA.org), and then click on either Officers or
Programs from the blue menu bar to see a drop down menu. Then click on Rider Education. On the left side of
the Rider Education main page you will see a button for “My R.E. Information”. Click on that button to access the
log in page.
To log in use your membership number as the user name and the numbers of your home address plus your mem-
bership expiration date (MMYY) as your password. After clicking on submit, you should be able to access the in-
formation for anyone on your membership number by clicking on “View” for each person.
Please contact us if you have questions or problems accessing your information. If there are any corrections that
need to be made, please notify us via e-mail and we will forward the information on to our District Educator for
correction.

Membership Enhancement
Coordinator
Alma Sprenkle
Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you love birds out there. February is the month that our first
chapter rally is held. And do you know where that is? Yes, you guessed it, chapter CA-1I at
Bert’s Mega mall in Covina CA. I hope to see a lot of you there. I know we will be there.
At the officer’s conference, I stated the MEC goals for the district, and think they would apply at
the chapter level as well. The goals for this year, are in the acronym of the word RECHARGE!
Which is broken down as follows;
R = Remember/refocus on why you joined GWRRA. Was it for the benefits, the love of riding,
or the people?
E= Expectations, on what people expect from GWRRA, the local chapter, and other
Members
C= Create excitement as they had, when everyone had joined GWRRA
H= HAVE FUN! We joined because the motto says it all “Friends, for Fun Safety and
Knowledge”
A= Adjust Attitudes. Be positive in what is said and done
R= Ride Adventures. Plan great rides to keep members engaged and happy, which will create
great memories
G= Group Socials for the members that cannot ride anymore but who want to stay in GWRRA
E= Energize the member

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.
