Chapter DirectorsMike & Elma Maury
Wow! What a blast! Our first WingDing was an amazing experience andwe had a surprise guest (Julian Rodriguez) join us for the trip as well.There were lots and lots of things tosee and do both at the Gaylord Texanand around the Dallas/Fort Wortharea. We made our donation to thevendors by getting our bike pins t r i p e d a n d b u yi n g o th e r“necessities”. Thirty of us, includingCharlie & Candy Brown and Rick &Maria White, attended the chapterdinner at Billy Bob’s where we had awonderful meal and did a lot of catching up with our old friends. We alsotoured downtown Grapevine and visited a casino in Oklahoma for dinner.
Once Wing Ding ended everyonewent their separate ways either backhome or on further adventures. Weheaded east to the Smoky Mountainsto ride “The Tail of the Dragon” withDoug & Jo Frizzell. Stops were madealong the way at Graceland, the JackDaniel’s Distillery, and numerousplaces of historical interest. Two glorious days were spent riding thru theSmoky Mountains before heading toAshville, N.C. to tour the Biltmore Estate.
Then it was on to Tupelo, Mississippiwhere tornado warnings took effectafter we were safely in a motel. Thatnight brought us hail, high winds, lotsof rain and tornados outside of town.The next day we took the NatchezTrace Highway to Jackson and sawseveral areas that had been hit by the
tornados. Numerous trees were uprooted, etc. and the stormy weatherwas still in the area. At one point,there was a lightening strike so closeto the road that Jo felt it in the knuckles of her right hand. All we can remember is seeing the flash with a simultaneous loud clap of thunderwhich scared the pants off of all of us.It rained all the way to Jackson. FromJackson we went to Vicksburg andtoured the Vicksburg National MilitaryPark before continuing on to New Orleans.
We spent 3 days in New Orleans enjoying the food and music of theFrench Quarter. A bus tour took us tovarious areas around the city and tovisit one of their famous “Cities of theDead” (an above ground cemetery).A second tour took us to visit the OakAlley Plantation which was absolutelybeautiful. Our final place to visit wasMardi Gras World which is where allthe floats for the Mardi Gras paradesare built. The same firm makes a lotof the giant figures on display in hotels/resorts, casinos, and themeparks. It was amazing to see themclose up and learn how they aremade and recycled from year to year.At the end of 3 wonderful days it wastime to head for home and we weremore than ready to leave the highheat and humidity for the dry heat ofSan Diego.
Now it’s time to look forward to ournext adventures which will be the Region/District Rally in Tahoe followedby Chapter K’s rally in Laughlin at theend of September. We hope many ofyou will be joining us as we onceagain travel thru our wonderful countryside to see old friends and meetnew ones.

Howdy y’all! Jeez, we just can’t seemto get rid of the accent we picked upwhile we were in Texas for WingDing. Rick and I made a bit of a vacation of it and were on the road for almost 3 weeks and 4400 miles. Theweather in Grapevine was lookingbad right until the day before we gotthere, so attendance was down atapproximately 8500 wingers. I thinkFort Wayne had over 15,000. In caseyou were wondering, Wing Ding 2005will be back in Fort Wayne, 2006 willbe at the Gaylord Opryland and wewere told that in 2007 it will be back inGrapevine. Speaking of accents, wewere curious about the spelling ofsome words and Rick kept asking thelocals how many u’s were in the wordfuun. The best answer we got wasthat i t depends on how muchfuuuuuun you’re having. Pretty funny,huh? “I’ll tell you what”, was one that Ipicked up. At the talent show welearned another one, maynaise. Theproper context would be “Maynaise alot of people in this audience”.We knew the humidity was going tobe high, but we still weren’t quite prepared for it. When we got to the Gaylord Texan, the temperature was 95Fand the humidity was in the 90s. Ithad rained for 27 days straight andwhen the sun came out on the day wearrived, it created what felt like asteam bath. Thankfully, the Texanhad wonderful air conditioning thatkept the entire facility a comfy 72F.
There was such a difference in climate when we came into the lobbythat it almost hurt, but in a good way.There was a HUGE atrium area inthe center of the facility that hadscale replicas of such things as theAlamo, an oil derrick and otherTexas landmarks. They had full sizetrees and gorgeous landscaping.There was one very large Oak treethat turned out to be a $250,000fake. They wanted a real one, but itwouldn’t grow in a constant 72F. I’lltell you what! Those Texans aremighty proud of their state. That bigold Texas Star is everywhere. Theroof of the atrium was a gold star inglass that must have been 100 feetin diameter.This was our third Wing Ding andthe facility was by far the nicest wehave seen. EVERYHING was inside,including all the vendors. The onlythings you had to go outside forwere the bike games, bike show andthe parade. Speaking of the parade,Region F was responsible and we’reproud to say that it went off without ahitch. There were 1072 bikes andtrikes, covering a route of about 14miles all with police escort. Since wewere working on staging the bikes,we were the last ones out of theparking lot and got to carry somelocal council members and otherdignitaries. As we had experiencedin Billings, even though there hadbeen over a thousand bikes go bybefore us, the locals were still wav

One of the first assignments for children in Kindergarten is that they aregiven a coloring book and a box ofcrayons, and they are taught to colornice and be careful and stay betweenthe lines. Somewhere between thattime and the time they learn to drive,something bad happens to that portionof their brain, and a large percentageof them drive down the road floatingaround like a boat in the bay, totallyunable to keep a sixfoot wide car inbetween a set of twelvefoot wide lanelines… ..and we’re sharing the roadwith them !
You see them all the time aroundyou… the ones who are probably notreading the highway road signs, staying out in the left lanes until they areeleven feet from the exit they wanted,and then making a dive for the exit. Ortheir counterparts who are already onthe exit ramp when they decide theyreally didn’t want to get off here, andthey make a radical swerve back outonto the highway… without checkingtheir blindspots… .And DON’T expecta directional signal from these folks!Some of these other “special” driversstart out in one part of a doubleleftturn lane, and finish in the other lanewhether or not there is another car ormotorcycle occupying that space, notknowing or being aware of any othervehicle nearby them. They’ll stop at atraffic signal in a leftturnonly lane, orin a rightturnonly lane, and when thelight turns green they go straightthrough the intersection. Sure… if youor I missed a street or an exit, wewould just go to the next exit and getoff and go back… but so many of thesedrivers seem like they would rathertake a chance crashing their car intothe vehicles around them, or upagainst the exitdivider, than miss their
turn. That area around the exitdivider is called the “gore” area bythe highway engineers… I betchawe can guess why the call it that.Most people who drive like this,driving as if they have a paper bagover their head, don’t maintainenough following distance, either.So when something unexpectedhappens, they brake hard andswerve out of their lane… .usuallytowards the right side. When youare approaching them on a residential street, streets without a paintedcenterline, don’t expect them tofigure out where their half of thestreet really is. All good reasonswhy we want to be aware when weare in anyone’s blind area, or whenthey are in ours, and adjusting ourspace so that we are not at themercy of their poor driving.
We can read the ‘body language’ oftheir intentions most of the time,and figure out what they are probably going to do before they do it.Like the National Safety Counciladvises, “recognize the hazard, understand the defense, and act correctly and in time.” Don’t trust the‘tailgaters’… They’ll change lanesfast and use no directional signals.When driving around those big,wide, tall S.A.V.’s (Suburban Assault Vehicles), be aware of themand be ready to move somewhereelse in selfdefense … be ready touse your horn if they start to moveacross the line, to let them knowthat you are near them, but don’t besurprised if they can’t hear yourhorn or pipes over the stereo.Watch for them glancing at the rearview mirror… They’re getting readyto move. And when they’re just

It's Not The Old Farts RunBy Ed Carroll
Eight bikes showed up. Bill Risk, BigDave, Jimmy Z, Jerry, Mark Adelman,Malcolm, Raleigh Blecha and myself.We sat around Starbucks until 10:15 orso, and then headed for Lake Henshaw for lunch. Raleigh showed upwith his new trike. He installed the kithimself, and with extra help from hisson Matt, did a real nice job.
We took the usual way out to Henshaw, but cut over at Mesa Grande.That's when things got interesting.Raleighs trike started acting up. It wascutting out and backfiring and when wereached the end of Mesa Grande, itquit. We all stood around scratchingour heads trying to figure what happened. Yep, we all agreed, alternator.Jimmy gave Raleigh a jump, and thenext thing we knew, Raleigh was gone.Heading home. We figured he'd makeit to Ramona. He made it to PowayCity Limits. We went on to Henshaw
for lunch, and Bill called Raleigh forhis location.
After lunch we headed towards Raleigh's location, and found his wifeEdna watching the trike. Westopped and helped her watch too.She tried to get us to leave, but I toldher about unsavory charactersaround and us good guys wouldn'tleave her. Raleigh bought a newbattery, and was able to get the trikehome. The overall ride ended on agood note.
You never know when an incidentmay happen. It's always nice to ridewith a partner(s) just in case.
The next Geritol Ride will be thethird Wednesday of August. It willbe to an art show in Fallbrook. It'scalled Motorcycles: Wheels of Desire. It involves antique bikes. Lookforward to seeing you who show up.
Maybe if we all stand around it, it will work again.

Trip to TexasBy Lou Caspary
Kyoko and I rode to Grapevine, Texas,near Dallas/Ft. Worth, for a 12day trip.Many thousands of other Honda Goldwing riders came to the Gaylord Opryland hotel/Convention Center. Eventhough the underground parking lotwas really massive, and no cars wereallowed, it was difficult to find a placefor the bike!So many vendors filled the conventioncenter that it literally took days to see itall.One night we rode with others of ourlocal chapter to BILLY BOB'S, a cowboy restaurant in Fort Worth so largethere is a full bullring with bleachersinside. When big name bands showup, I understood that they accommodate 16,000 people. I would not doubtit. Must be like GILLEYS that we haveseen in movies.We stayed one night in Roswell, NewMexico, but that weekend was the 10th
anniversary of some spaceship landing or whatever, so the town had“100,000” people filling every hotel.Signs said "Aliens Welcome". Thereis an Alien museum on Main Street,free to the public, but we didn’t havetime to visit. Coming back in NewMexico, it was exactly 100º, whenwe started seeing something in theroad ahead of us like a white AuroraBorialis, and ran into a fullblownhailstorm. The hail hit the groundsideways and scared the bejezzusout of us, but cooled us off at thesame time. Good fun.The hotel we stayed at in Yuma hada Happy Hour, with the first 5 drinksof any kind free, and each drinkthereafter was 25¢. Good breakfastthrown in also.There were an incredible amount of3wheel "trikes".

There has been a misunderstanding regarding the fees being charged for CPR/FA at the Region F/CA District Rally at Tahoe. The applications, both the flyerand online registration, state "CPR/FA $20/each or both for $35". It probablyshould have read, "CPR/FA $20 per person or $35 for two as it was intendedthat we would charge $20 for one person or $35 for a couple.
The CPR/FA training we are providing is "Medic FA" and approved by GWRRA.It is an all inclusive course comprised of both CPR and First Aid. It was neverdesigned to be split. Everyone who signs up for Medic FA will receive bothCPR and First Aid training. The class takes from 6 to 8 hours depending uponthe experience of the students.
It has been discovered that individuals and couples have overpaid. As a result,refunds will be arranged after Region staff has return from Wing Ding.
Please pass this information along to the Chapters and our Members. This isan excellent opportunity to receive inexpensive First Aid and CPR training andcertification.
If there are any questions regarding the Medic FA training or associated fees,please don't hesitate to contact us.
Ride Safe,

It’s forthe Kids
Wing Ding has come and gone. Wehope all that attended from San Diegohad a safe and sane trip, and enjoyedmeeting new and old friends. Sometraveled different routes but all endedup at the vendors in Grapevine. Ourtrip included a stop in San Antonio anda visit with Charlie and Candy Brown,their son and his family and Harley thedog. Harley traveled to Grapevine withus in his pooch pouch. Charlie escorted us to Grapevine through the hillcountry, via Luckenbach, Tx., quite aplace one building is uptown Luckenbach and the other is downtown Luckenbach. The Browns have a lovelynew home which they are in the process of decorating and furnishing.
I had the opportunity of speaking toone of the Dunlop representatives atWing Ding. Dunlop does not have anyplans at this time to change the treadpattern for the D250 series used on the1800. He was also of the opinion that36 psi in the front was good. I, asmany of us do, use 41 psi just as most1500 riders do. This seems to decrease tire wear and help to eliminatethe front end wobble that so manyhave experienced. The only time I hadany front wheel wobble was at 36 psi
AssistantChapter Directors
Bob & EileenCallaway
on a brand new tire, increasing fronttire pressure to 41 psi took care ofthat problem. I just replaced bothtires at 15485 miles, and both werenot to the wear indicator. Be sure tomaintain the pressures and inspectthe tires regularly. For those of youhaving problems opening the saddleback doors on the 1800, see yourdealer, there is bulletin out andHonda will replace the latchingmechanisms, in most cases. Thisshould fix the problem.
There are lots of things going on forthe next couple of months.

Our MotorcycleBy Chris Gunderson
I got my first motorcycle in 1970,when I was fifteen. It was a brightyellow Honda 125, and brandnew.My dad bought it for me. Talk aboutgood times! I can’t remember everfeeling so free, being on my own,and having no worries. I loved ridingmy motorcycle, and I rode it justabout every day, in the fields behindmy house, or on the street.
I didn’t know Mike then, but we livedin the same town, in Corona, CA,and he had his own motorcycle too.His first bike was a Yamaha 80. Hegraduated to a Yamaha 250 andstarted racing his bike at the Coronaraceway on Thursday nights. Backthen, they didn’t wear racing gear.They would just throw on a helmet,and they were ready to race. Heraced all over. In Adelanto, he racedin the European scramble, a sixmileloop, on a dirt track, and when hewas seventeen, he rode in the Barstow to Vegas race. It was a hardride, the whole race was over dirttrails and sand, with hills and bumps,parts of it had no trails at all. Itseemed like it took forever. He wasso tired, he didn’t think he couldmake it; he stopped once for a soda,and kept right on racing. He finishedin the top half of the field. His lastrace was the Elsinore Grand Prix inl997, he didn’t win, but he finishedthe race and that was all that mattered to him at the time.
We met each other in 1999. It wasalmost love at first sight. Mikebrought me to the San Diego areafrom Moreno Valley. The first time wewent shopping together, we went toRalph’s on 2nd Street. Before wewent in to the store, we stopped outside to look at the beautiful greenHonda Goldwing. (We didn’t know itat the time, but it belonged to Ernieand Roni Filla.) We stayed and admired it for a few minutes when Miketold me, this is what I want to get. Icouldn’t believe it! Just what I wantedtoo! We got married, we scrimpedand saved and finally on June 16,2001, we bought our own Goldwing.We were so excited about our firstmotorcycle together. Mike drove ithome from the dealer, and parked it.We went for a few rides, and we bothloved it. It is so great to be outsidewith the wind blowing, that free feeling coming over you, riding the highways, or the mountain twisties.

After reading the instructions in themanual for the removal of my 1996Aspencade’s rear wheel, I thought tomyself, "Self, there’s gotta be a betterway." So, I partially followed the instructions until I could see how it wasput together, then put it all back andstarted over with a new method.
The rear subframe on the GL1500 (theframe that holds the trunks) is held bysix bolts. Two at the top of the frame,under the seat near the rear; two behind the mufflers on the sides; and twobehind the fronts of the side trunks.Loosen the top two, and remove thebottom four, and the whole subframe/trunk assembly will swing up awayfrom the rear wheel.
Here's the EASY way to get the rearwheel off of a 1500. With practice, ittakes about 15 minutes. And you cando it on the side of the road if you needto. You don't have to remove trunks orlights.
This procedure will vary depending onthe accessories you have installed, liketrunk bars, hitches, horns, etc. Normally, there should be no electricalconnectors to take loose. In manycases, you can even leave your hitchon. But let me give you an exampleSince I first wrote this up, I have installed a set of air horns under the righttrunk. The compressor and relay aremounted inside the trunk. When I installed the horns, I brought the wiresinto the trunk through the air hoseplug, keeping in mind that I had to beable to raise the trunk pack. For me,this procedure is now modified. In step9 I also have to disconnect the wiringfrom the air horn relay, and remove itthrough the air hose opening.

(Continued from page 20)We looked on the computer to see if we could find a Goldwing club. We wantedto find people to go on rides with, and have fun. We found the GWRRA club,and went on our first dinner ride to Tyler’s Taste of Texas, on July 12, 2001.Everyone made us feel welcome, and we’ve been riding ever since. It’s fun tobe part of a group. Our favorite ride is to Big Bear. This year was great!! Theonly drawback is that we don’t have enough time to go on more rides.
(Continued from page 26)the fronts of the side trunks while lowering them, so they will pass over thetop mounts of the rear crash bars andthe sides of the frame.
22. After lowering the trunk pack intoposition, support the back end of thetrunk pack with a jack or jack stand.Take precautions to protect the bodywork from scratching. The trunk packshould be lifted just an inch or soabove its final installed position.
23. Place a light in front of the sidetrunk, where it will shine between theframe and the trunk. Use a small mechanic's mirror to look through the access holes in the side trunks. Line upthe bolt holes in the rear crash barswith the holes in the frame. The forkedends of the trunk pack's subframeshould just clear the bolt holes. Adjustthe jack under the trunk pack as necessary to give clear access to the boltholes in the frame.
24. Using a 12 mm socket on a 3" ex
tension (NOT your fingers!), start thebolts in the frame.
25. Lower the trunk pack into position, allowing the forked ends of thesubframe to settle onto the stillloosebolts.
26. Using a 12 mm socket on a 3"extension, tighten the bolts youstarted in step 24.
27. Continue the reassembly in thereverse order of disassembly.
If you're on the side of the road witha flat rear tire, you can lower the rearassembly back down, put the seatback on, and lock your parts in thetrunk while you get your tire repaired.
This procedure gives you access tothe swing arm and shocks, too. Youcan service the whole rear end, replace shocks, grease splines, etc.,without disassembling the trunks.

(Continued from page 21)two bolts. After the bolts are removed,pull down on the covers to disengagethem from the body. Keep track of therubber pieces that are attached.
6. Using a 10 mm socket on a 6" extension, loosen (do not remove) theexhaust pipetomuffler clamps. Thereare a total of four bolts, two at the frontof each muffler.
7. Using a 12 mm socket on a 6" extension, remove the muffler bolts thatsecure the mufflers to the subframe,one bolt on each side.
8. Rotate the mufflers down. Twist theleftside muffler clockwise, the rightside muffler counterclockwise. Themufflers will rotate on the exhaustpipes where you loosened the clampsin step 5. Rotate them only far enoughto allow the axle to clear in step 16.
9. Open the side trunks. On the insidewall of each trunk, near the front, is arubber plug (on the SE/Aspencade, theair hose passes through this plug inthe right trunk). Remove the plugs.
10. Using a 12 mm socket on a 3" extension, loosen the bolt behind eachplug, one on each side. These boltsare the top mounting bolts for the rearcrash bars, and they secure the bottomof the rear subframe.
11. Place a jack or jack stand underthe rear trunk assembly (taking precautions to protect the rear bodywork).Lift the rear of the trunk pack about 1inch from its installed position.
12. Using a 12 mm socket on a 3" extension, remove the bolts you loosened in step 10.
13. Step around to the back of thebike, take hold of the trunks underneath, and lift. The whole rear end
(trunks, lights, hitch and all) will liftup and pivot on the two upper subframe bolts, exposing the rear wheeland axle.
14. Raise the trunk pack up until theantennas touch the handlebars, andsecure it in place. I simply loop arope around the handlebars and tie itto my trunk rack to hold it up.
15. Using a 14 mm socket on a 6"extension, loosen the bottom leftshock bolt until the bottom end of thebrake caliper is free.
16. Remove the rear axle. Using theaxle wrench from the Honda tool kit,remove the axle nut on the rightside. Using a 10 mm socket, loosenthe axle clamp bolt on the left side.Pull the axle out the left side.
17. Remove the brake caliper. Laythe caliper on the crash bar, wiring itin place if necessary to prevent itfrom falling and causing damage tothe brake line.
18. Remove the spacer from the leftside center of the wheel hub.
19. Slide the wheel to the left, off ofits splines. Drop the wheel to thefloor and roll it out the back.
20. Reassembly is in reverse orderof assembly, except as noted insteps 2125 below.
Special instructions for startingthe lower subframe bolts in theside trunks:
21. When you lower the trunk packback into place, you may need anassistant to help you lower the trunkpack back into position. This is because it is necessary to pull out on

On August 14, 2004, Chapter CA1F will celebrate its 10th
Anniversary. As luck would have it, this is the same day asour Chapter Meeting. The after meeting ride will be followedby a special dinner at the Hamburger Factory at 4 PM. Ifyou were not at the June Chapter Meeting, please RSVP toBarbara Cox at [email protected] or 7604459833. Thanks!

CA1FMEMBERS
(Continued from page 8)thinking about moving, they will unconsciously drift their car towards that sideof the lane… Be ready for them! Thepoor things are driving at a disadvantage, Ya know… It hardly seems fairfor us to expect them to steer, talk onthe carphone, use directional signals,take sips from their Cappucino, andstay between the lines all at the sametime when they only have two hands.Gee Whiz!
If we were the Judge and Jury, wecould sentence these sloppy driversto spend thirty days with a box ofcrayons and a coloring book practicing staying between the lines. Butas long as we are riding near them,sharing the road with them, weshould expect the worst from themand do the best we can to avoid becoming a target. Be Aware, and… .Ride Safe !!

When riding our motorcycles, we allknow we have no choice but to sharethe roads with the big rigs. They’re veryimportant, as everything we own hasbeen on one at some point or another.We’ve also all heard of various dangersrelated to being near those big rigswhen going down the road but have youever heard about the “NoZone”?
Recently the California Gold Angels Motorcycle Drill Team had their Annual“Top Gun Open and Motorcycle SafetyDays”. At that event they had the honorof having the Roadway Express “NoZone” truck with an outstanding demonstration presented by the Driver, District17 Road Team Representative and fellow GWRRA member Dave Boles(GWRRA # 160453) of Chapter CA1F.The NoZone demonstration was thebiggest hit of the day. It opened theeyes of a lot of riders as to what thedrivers of the big rigs see, or should Isay “Don’t See” when driving down theroad everyday doing their job.
The evening before the event while theDrill Team members were busy preparing the field for the Top Gun competition, Dave was busy preparing the truckand the area around it for the demonstration he was going to put on the nextday. There was a simulated traffic lanewith dashed lines on each side and asidewalk in front of the truck. The morning of the event, he placed a few motorcycles around the rig.
At anytime during the day, people werewelcome to ask questions, and view thetruck including the engine (it’s a guything), which was almost clean enoughto eat off of. There were demonstrations in which everyone there was given

(Continued from page 7)ing and smiling. It was quite impressive how many of them turned out to watchus since it was so hot and humid.The trip back was pretty much uneventful. We came north through Colorado tovisit my brother and then braved the heat going across Utah and Nevada thelast two day. It was only 108F in Mesquite, NV when we got there and with ourcool vests and Joe Rocket jackets it was bearable.OK, enough about us. How y’all doing? Oops, there I go again. Are you gettingexcited about Tahoe? Region and District staff, are working on the final detailsand hopefully we will see you all there. It’s always a bit of a problem making ourarticle seem timely since we need to get it to the CDs and newsletter editors aweek or two before the month it will be printed. That being said, we’ll see you inTahoe!Until we meet again: Ride safe, live each day to its fullest and don’t look back.

(Continued from page 29)the opportunity to sit in the drivers seatand see what the driver would seewhen he (or she) looks in the mirrors.A look in both mirrors showed one motorcycle on the right side of the rig,nothing in the front of the truck andnothing on the left side of the truck.Next you were asked to walk aroundthe truck for the shock of your life andsee what was really meant by theword’s “NoZone”. As you stepped outof the truck you would see the motorcycle on the left side of the truck(actually you saw that before you everstepped in to the truck but you neversaw it in the mirrors), in front of thetruck you would find a child’s tricyclebetween the truck and the simulatedcrosswalk and on the right side of thetruck you would see there are actually3 motorcycles placed in what is considered to be a standard staggered ridingposition.
The point of the demonstration is not tochange how you group ride as the recommendations GWRRA makes are
very good ones. It’s to change theway you drive around the big rigs. Iftraffic is moving slowly and you don’thave the opportunity to pass in atimely manor, stay back until youcan get the whole group by the rigand it’s NoZone. Most of all beaware of where the “NoZones” areand try to stay out of them as muchas possible. We also need to remember the same rules apply for theNoZone when we are in our 4wheelers.
Although most NoZone demonstrations are not geared specifically tomotorcycles around the rig like DaveBoles did with this one, if you everhave an opportunity to see a NoZone demonstration, don’t pass itup. Also take the time to thank thecompany for taking the time andspending the money to make theroads safer for everyone. The “NoZone” and “Share the Road” programs do work and save more liveseach year.
