NEED
A
PIG
The
planning
committee
for
the
"Ryder's
Ride"
is
looking
for
someone
who
could
donate
a
pig
for
a
pig
roast
in
August.
If
you
have
any
information
that
could
help,
please
call
Paula
at
Cycle
Connection.
The
Ryder's
Ride
is
to
raise
money
for
Jean
Davidson
(granddaughter
of
one
of
the
four
founder's
of
Harley-Davidson
Motorcycles)
to
promote
her
"Yell
and
Tell"
program
to
help
save
children's
lives.
Jean's
4
year
old
grandson,
Ryder,
drowned
in
a
water
filled
ditch.
There
was
an
8
year
old
with
him
but
he
was
scared
and
did
not
yell
for
help.
Jean
has
a
program
that
teaches
kids
to
See
It,
Feel
It,
Yell
It,
Tell
It.
The
money
raised
from
the
Ryder's
Ride
will
be
given
to
Jean
for
any
pamplets,
printing,
and
other
needs
necessary
to
help
her
with
her
mission
to
save
children's
lives. |

SAFETY
MESSAGE
USE
YOUR
MIRRORS
When
you
come
to
a
stop
at
a
signal
or
stop
sign,
you
should
always
keep
your
bike
in
gear,
and
you
should
always
be
watching
your
mirrors
for
idiots
that
do
not
look
like
they
are
going
to
stop.
Unlike
in
a
car
where
you
may
not
be
able
to
move
out
of
the
way,
on
a
motorcycle
you
can
real
quickly
give
it
some
gas,
let
the
clutch
out
and
move
if
you
have
to.
Always
leave
yourself
an
out
when
you
are
stopped.
Plan
on
some
idiot
rear
ending
you
and
plan
your
out;
Every
time
you
Stop!
Do
not
be
lazy.
After
a
while
this
process
will
become
second
nature.
You
must
be
able
to
see
behind
you
on
both
sides.
Your
mirrors
can
save
your
life.
I
myself
have
purchased
a
pair
of
blind
spot
mirrors
that
stick
to
my
factory
mirrors.
Cost
me
a
couple
of
bucks
and
can
be
found
at
any
automotive
store.
Remember,
cars
cannot
see
us
like
they
would
if
we
were
in
a
car.
We
must
act
like
we
are
invisible
to
cars.
Keep
Both
Wheels
On
The
Road
