Tom Wright, Chiropractor and CRM customer held an excellent seminar on how the imbalance of your body strength and joint flexibility will affect your riding posture and ultimately your riding tolerance. He even did some amazing demonstrations to emphasize his points. I think we all learned the importance of being physically fit for our best riding tolerance. We thank Tom and we thank you all for attending. Estimated attendance was 75 several of whom rode in on motorcycles. How 'cool' was that. Watch for photos on events page.
We're planning our annual chili-off. This has been the best fun on a cold winter day. We hope that more of you will get in your kitchens to make your favorite chili recipe and bring it in for sampling. And the cookies, yum,yum. What a great variety we have had and so nice to taste after the chili. We've had one pretty consistant winner in both categories so we need some new chef's to challenge her! This year we are asking for tasting donations which we will give to the Red Cross or local food pantry. There will be a CRM gift certificate to the overall winner of the chili contest and of the overall winner of the cookie contest.
Marcin is a world traveler, having visited some 30 countries on his bike. He has also worked as a motorcycle mechanic so he knows his way around bikes. Marcin has generously offered to come to CRM and give a Presentation about some of his trips and share some of his awesome photography. His photos alone could entice you to take an adventure on your bike. Come join us for a exciting Travelogue and talk to Marcin one-on-one about how he does it.
Come watch this 60's classic with us. Against the backdrop of riots in 60s Brighton, Quadrophenia perfectly captures the teenage need to belong, and identify, with your peers. In 1964 London, Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels) divides his time between hanging out with Mod friends and slaving in the post-room of an advertising firm. He doesn't work because he wants to or through a desire to further a career. No, all Jimmy wants is to have enough cash in his pocket to keep his scooter running and bespoke suits trim, leaving a little for "blues". There's nothing that Jimmy likes more than motoring with his pals Dave (Mark Wingett), Chalky (Philip Davis) and Spider (Gary Shail). What better way could there be to exasperate his parents (Michael Elphick and Kate Williams) and chat up birds like Steph (Leslie Ash) and Monkey (Toyah Wilcox)?
We'll be there
Linda & Bob Williams will be here to tell us about their Pennsyvania motorcyle tours. You may think that going to Pennsyvania for a tour isn't all that exciting however Pennsylvania has some hidden & beautiful motorcycling roads that Bob and Linda would like to share with you. Also a Pennsyvania Tour would be reasonably priced and close enough for those of us too busy working to take a lengthy exotic motorcycle trip. For those who have not yet experienced much motorcycle travel, this would be a good way to try it out. Country Rode and Canyon Vista are beginning to work on a CRM sponsored Tour tentatively scheduled for June 11, 12, & 13 (Fri.-Sun.) If this interests you, let us know. We will keep you updated on plans.
Refresh your riding safety skills as you get on the road in 2010. Ron Hinz, owner of Learn 2 Ride, will be here to give you a great review session. Everyone has fun at this event as well as relearning.
Jim Ford returns to discuss the Zen of motorcycling or the ability to develop a smooth riding style. Riding smooth will allow the Rider to effortlessly ride for miles. He will tell you how to find "invisible roads" as you learn to position your motorcycle, your eyes and your mind for safety and the clearest view of the road ahead.
