MCC'S RIDE POLICY REGARDING THE WEATHER
How do we determine "go" or "no go" on a potentially weather-affected ride?
We call it the 40/40 rule*. According to the WEATHER CHANNEL, if the high temperature is 40 degrees or less, OR there is a 40% chance of rain or more, the ride is cancelled.

The decision is at the discretion (and direction!) of the Road Captains in charge of the ride. 

*(40/40 rule applies during Standard Time, ie, Fall & Winter. We change to 50/50 rule during Daylight Savings Time, ie, Spring & Summer)


 
We Have a Lot Stuff Happening!
The snow's been keeping us off the roads. Let's get the business and training side of riding done now, so we can ride when the weather warms and the sky clears! During the winter months MCC and Boswell''s H-D organize and offer a variety of classes to MCC members to prepare for and enhance your riding experience. Read on...

About the Bikes
 
About the Bikes? - An Intro to the Motorcycle Models is a fun, educational and interactive course designed to help riders discover which bike fits them best. Taking place both in the classroom and on the showroom floor, this 2 hour class teaches you about motorcycle history, features, function, specs and modification options. While you're learning how different bikes offer different riding styles, and all the unique ways you can customize your ride, you'll discover which motorcycle is right for you. This is a great class for anyone wanting to learn about the variety of models offered in H-D's class of 2010.

February Chapter Meeting

This month's meeting will be held on Thursday, February 18th. We are privileged to have Arnie Beaman, our HOG Regional Manager, as a special guest speaker. Arnie's been around the Motor Company for a long time and has a lot of stories to tell. Don't miss this opportunity, as he is contemplating retirement, within the next year.

Also, Mi Amigos y Amigas, Pat (Paco) Sanford and his sidekick, Joe (Wappo) Siano, will introduce this year's riding contest. You can bet your last peso that it will be at least as good as the Dam Ride. Plan to eat Jefe de Cocina (Chef) Ray's best South of the Border cuisine and enjoy a cerveza (beer) or two. We will begin gathering at 6:00, eat at 6:30 and start the meeting at 7:15.

Accident Scene Management Course

What do you do if you are on a ride and someone in the group crashes? What if you are riding through the countryside and you happen upon a rider and bike in a ditch? Do you know when and how to properly remove a helmet? What emergency supplies should you carry? If you don't think you can answer these questions and, probably, even if you think you can, you need to take the Accident Scene Management Course. See what it's all about at http://www.accidentscenemanage.org. We have scheduled a class on March 6th, from 9 am - 5 pm, in the HOG Room. We are giving first priority to Music City Members, so sign up fast. If you go to the schedule portion of the Accident Scene website, you can sign-up. Or, if you prefer, you can pay Tess at this week's Officer's Meeting or Road Captain Training. The cost is $55 and we must have at least 30 signed up to hold the class. If you have questions, contact Tess at patandtess@comcast.net or call her at 615-948-9766.
