Welcome |

2010 |
 |
Welcome
to
the
September
Issue
of
our
newsletter.
It's
a
great
time
of
year.
The
kids
are
back
to
school,
the
intense
summer
heat
starts
easing
it's
grip
on
the
valley,
and
all
the
powersports
manufacturers
begin
unveiling
all
the
of
the
changes
and
upgrades
for
the
next
model
year!
This
month
we
have
put
all
of
our
top
of
the
line
KTM
product
on
sale
for
the
fall.
So
get
out
and
ride! |

to
be
safer
on
the
street |
Motorcycles
can
disappear
in
traffic
because
they’re
smaller
and
harder
to
spot
among
other,
larger
vehicles.
Whether
you
wear
brightly
colored
gear
or
not,
smart
positioning
is
critical
in
making
your
presence
known
to
other
drivers.
Best
of
all,
using
positioning
to
increase
your
visibility
costs
$0,
and
it’s
a
way
to
have
fun
and
stay
alert
when
riding.
And
as
noted
earlier,
it
will
also
reduce
the
number
of
surprises
you
face
every
day
and
reduce
the
chance
of
getting
blindsided
by
someone
else’s
last-minute
decision.
Smart
riders
understand
strategic
positioning
and
use
it
every
time
they
ride.
The
Lane
with
less
pain?
A
study
was
done
analyzing
from
what
angle
most
motorcycle
collisions
occur,
and
the
results
were
astounding.
Over
40%
of
all
crashes
are
from
the
11
o'clock
position.
Usually
in
an
intersection.
On
the
streets
around
town,
your
best
strategic
position
lies
somewhere
between
maintaining
as
much
separation
as
possible
from
potential
left-turning
drivers,
having
adequate
distance
to
the
right
side
to
avoid
roadside
obstructions,
and
being
able
to
see
the
road
and
traffic
ahead.
In
a
multilane
situation
this
puts
you
in
the
left
portion
of
the
right
lane.
 Depending
on
your
riding
style
(that
is,
whether
you
would
classify
yourself
as
"aggressively
defensive"
or
a
"laid-back
cruiser")
you
might
be
comfortable
in
the
classic
right-lane
position.
Aggressive
types
are
probably
already
at
the
front
of
the
line
in
the
left
lane.
That's
okay
too,
as
long
as
you
recognize
you
are
physically
closer
to
that
ever-present
left-turner.
That
closeness
limits
your
response
choices,
perhaps
eliminating
them
altogether.
For
most
lethal
left-turner
situations,
braking
is
your
only
last-resort
maneuver
--
swerving
is
not
an
option.
It's
much
better
to
not
be
in
the
wrong
place
at
the
wrong
time.
You
can
accomplish
this
by
analyzing
the
interaction
of
the
traffic
ahead
and
anticipating
potential
conflicts.
Choose
actions
that
will
keep
you
away
from
these
conflicts
in
space
and
time.
To
do
that,
you
need
to
see
and
focus
on
the
road
well
ahead
of
you.
Of
course
on
the
freeway,
it
is
a
different
story.
With
no
intersections
to
worry
about,
the
biggest
threat
to
motorcycles
are
merging
vehicles
especially
where
ramps
funnel
traffic
on
and
off.
If
you
aren't
entering
or
exiting,
stay
away
from
these
conflicts.
Once
you're
up
to
speed
and
in
moderate-to-heavy
traffic,
the
best
place
to
be
is
in
the
left
lane.
In
this
lane,
you
limit
your
exposure
to
traffic
conflicts
on
all
sides.
In
the
left
lane
you
can
essentially
eliminate
concerns
to
the
left
--
a
significant
reduction
in
area
that
you
must
monitor.
In
less
congested
traffic,
just
go
with
the
flow.
Follow
the
basic,
and
generally
ignored,
rule
of
the
road
and
stay
to
the
right
except
to
pass. |

Glamis
Poised
To
Get
40,000
Additional
Riding
Acres
According
to
the
American
Motorcyclist
Association,
the
Imperial
Sand
Dunes
Recreation
Area,
popularly
known
as
Glamis,
could
soon
see
nearly
40,000
acres
returned
to
the
OHV
(off-highway
vehicle)
ledger,
thanks
to
a
new
plan
developed
by
the
federal
Bureau
of
Land
Management
(BLM).
“This
is
great
news,”
says
Nick
Haris,
AMA
western
states
representative.
“The
groups
that
want
to
restrict
off-highway
riding
have
gone
to
court
in
the
past
claiming
that
the
Peirson’s
milk-vetch
growing
at
Glamis
is
endangered
and
needs
protection,
but
the
U.S.
District
Court
for
the
Southern
District
of
California
recently
ruled
that
the
plant
is
being
protected
appropriately.”
In
April,
the
BLM
released
a
draft
Recreation
Area
Management
Plan
(RAMP)
for
the
200,000-acre
California
recreation
area.
The
Imperial
Sand
Dunes
area
ranks
as
one
of
the
most
important
public
recreation
areas
nationwide,
attracting
more
than
1.2
million
visitors
each
year.
OHV
riders,
through
their
purchases
of
food,
fuel
and
lodging,
contribute
significantly
to
the
local
economy.
The
public
comment
period
for
the
RAMP
ended
June
23.
Federal
officials
are
now
reviewing
the
comments,
and
the
“Preferred
Alternative”
—
that
is,
the
plan
that
the
BLM
intends
to
follow
that
adds
about
40,000
more
acres
for
off-highway
riding
—
is
likely
to
be
adopted
unless
the
public-comment
process
points
out
a
legitimate
flaw
in
the
BLM’s
planning. |
