2020 Couple of the YearWe are anticipating Spring and warmer riding weather!! We have had a
fairly mild Winter luckily but unfortunately Illinois Winters are not conduciveto motorcycle riding. A note of caution to all: “Start Seeing Motorcycles” andshare the road with all vehicles.
We hope to add some fun games to our monthly gatherings and look for-ward to suggestions and feedback from the group. Remember, we are all aboutFUN and PARTICIPATION!! We know that if our meetings, ice cream and din-ner rides are fun then members will be more likely to invite friends and familyto join us!!Please feel free to contact us with ideas.
John and Julie Nixon2020 Couple of the Year Chapter Z
Are you aware of the levels program? Do you know what the requirements are? Thelevels progam is part of Rider Education and consists of 4 levels. Each level repre-sents and increase in your commitment to rider safety. It is a nice way to be re-conized for all your work to stay safe. Here are the steps and requirments of eachlevel Level I: Safety by Commitment - The first big step to successLevel I of the Rider Education Program is also referred to as Safe Miles. It repre-sents the commitment of the Rider and/or the Co-Rider to practice safe motorcycleoperation whenever they operate their motorcycle.Safety is a state of mind which can only be attained through total commitment.Every successful accomplishment begins with a commitment to reach the intendedobjective. This is true of the Rider Education Program and includes a promise tolearn for the sake of Rider, Co-Rider, friends and family, and others on the road. Though there is no mileage requirement to enter Level I, the commitment to saferiding is tracked by the number of accident free miles since joining GWRRA. Acci-dent free miles are accumulated in 5,000 mile increments and may be updated atyearly intervals. Requirement: Verbal commitment to ride safely at all times. Nocost to sign up. Patches available at $6.00 per participant Receive: "Safe Miles"patch, Rider (or Co-rider) Rocker, and mileage pin.Level II: Safety by EducationLevel II is also referred to as Tour Rider. It represents the commitment of the Riderand/or Co-Rider to be safer motorcycle riders by taking approved motorcycle ridingcourses at regular intervals.GWRRA has chosen several educational training programs for the Riders and Co-Riders such as the MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) programs, the United Side-car Association course, the CSC (Canadian Safety Council) programs, and theGWRRA's Advanced Riding courses.Completing these courses provides the foundation and skills for your quest to be asafe motorcycle rider. All recognized programs are taught by qualified and Nation-ally certified Requirement: Rider - a Certified Rider Course with 5,000 safe miles. Co-Rider - certified Co-rider Seminar or 2-up RiderCourse. No cost to sign up. Patches available at $5.00 per participant Receive: "Red Triangle" patch for either Rider or Co-ridersignifying Level II participant.Level III: Safety by PreparednessLevel III of the REP is also referred to as Certified Tour Rider/Co-Rider. It represents the commitment of the Rider and/or Co-Rider to be prepared in the event of an accident to give aid and possibly save lives. This is done by being knowledgeable inFirst Aid or CPR and carrying a first aid kit on their motorcycle at all times.It would be wonderful if we could achieve the coveted goal of zero accidents, however, we know realistically, accidents willhappen. Because of this, it is important to be fully prepared to lend aid to unfortunate accident victims. It is important to al-ways be prepared to save a life. Level III of the Rider Education Program was developed to deal with such circumstances byrecognizing and encouraging proper First Aid or CPR training. CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation), has been used to savemany lives. Being trained to render CPR or First Aid is a tremendous asset to those the REP participant will come in contactwith daily.Requirement: Current in Level ll and have taken either First Aid or CPR trainingNo cost to sign up. Patches available at $4.00 per participantReceive: "Certified Tour Rider" or "Certified Co-Rider" patch.Level IV: Safety By Enhanced Commitment and PreparednessLevel IV is the most prestigious of the REP levels and is referred to as Master Tour Rider/Co-Rider. It represents the highestcommitment of the Rider and/or Co-Rider to safe riding and preparedness. This commitment is shown by a demonstrated his-tory of safe miles and current certification in both First Aid and CPR.. These Master Tour Riders/Co-Riders are the finest exam-ple to everyone of the highest commitment to safe motorcycle operation and preparedness.Level IV of the REP, the Master Tour Rider, was designed for those special caring individuals who desire to "be all they canbe" with regards to motorcycle safety. The requirements are more stringent than Level III and require a greater commitment.These individuals are caring, trained and prepared with the experience to back them up. It is realized Level IV is not for every-one, but for those who desire to be of greater service to their fellow man, it is the correct prescription.Requirement: Current in Level lll for one year and have taken both First Aid and CPR training. Have 25,000 Safe Miles andmust be committed to riding with "Proper Riding Gear" at all times.Cost: $35.00 for each participant (Black and Gold patch is available for another $8.00)Receive: "Special Triangular" patch with dark blue border and your individual Master number embroidered on it.So if you have any questions, want to sign up or move up a level just let me know and we can get the form filled out. Ride safely my friends!
