March 16th, 2021
Good afternoon all,
Over the past month I’ve been faced with difficult decisions with helping my parents & grandmother
through some troubling times. These kinds of decisions make me sad for them but proud & happy for Tami & I.
We have both watched others in our lives, not to learn what to do right but what not to do. We are by far
shining examples of what good decision making will do for you. We both come from struggling backgrounds,
we did not want to bring our kids through. As we age & our health concerns become more real, our children
will not be faced with the same struggling decisions we face now. I tell our kids “you can thank us later”!
In making some of the trips to / from visiting. I’ve had a chance to ride my bike. Some things I note that
are so much different, it’s quiet – nobody talking opens my mind to think about the task at hand & gives me
clarity. By the time I’ve reached my destination, I’m more focused & less stressed. On a bike, you don’t get to
snack the whole trip. That’s great for me because I LOVE gas station food! Chips, cookies, popcorn, hot dog,
corn dogs YUM!
This last trip was taken during Daytona bike week. I had a chance to meet many other motorcycles on
the road in passing, riding along with or talking with while at the next fill up. Along my route with so many
bikers in passing I noticed some things that made me question, do you wave? How? Do I pass? How? Do I
approach other? How? I’m very curious this way. Tami is way more outgoing & approachable conversationalist
than I am. Its very hard for me to start or just jump into a conversation. I did get to talk to many people at gas
stops, the POLK COUNTY HOG CHAPTER patch on my vest probably helped some too. Even with the local law
enforcement that approached me at one of my stops to talk about their own bikes & wishing me well along
my way.
I ask if there is a proper biker etiquette to the road. I’ve read many notes, recommended “rules” of the
road for bikers. Search forums that talk about the do’s & don’ts of the motorcycle world. What did I learn? You
can read all you want but the truth is – be yourself, be kind, be respectful & treat others as you would like to
be treated. That does not mean everyone on a bike thinks the same as you. Everybody is not going to ride as
your local HOG Chapter. Some like to ride side-by-side, some like to keep a large distance between bikes. HOG
Chapters should obey the rules of the road, we ride staggered formation & attempt to follow the 1 – 2 second
rule, right?
The one thing I think most motorcycle communities can agree on no matter if you’re a riding club, 1%
motorcycle club, social club / group, whatever you call yourself. Riding in a group can be safer than riding
alone. The more you have the more likely you are to be seen right? Well, even though the 1% groups have bad
reputations, if you look at how they ride – tight nit, as a group staying together nobody can deny cars do not
split those groups up, rarely will a car get a chance to pull out on a group because there is a gap between
groups.
Be Safe! Have Fun!
Which group would you feel safer with? Sloppy Group Organized Group Thank you! Randy

Dale Barkman,
Ladies of Harley
Ladies of Harley
Spring is coming and the warmer weather sets the stage for outdoor activities. The HOG annual
spring picnic gets things started with a chance to hang out, eat some chow and this year do a little
rock painting to share. The picnic will be held in the pavilion at the Mulberry Civic Center on April
17th, with lunch being served around 11:00 am. We are partnering with Jimbo’s barbecue for the
boxed lunches that were so well received in the fall. The cost is $12.00 each and include ribs,
chicken, baked beans, macaroni and cheese and hush puppies. Drinks will be provided as usual:
sodas, tea, coffee and water. Anyone wishing to bring a dessert may do so. If you do not wish to
order a boxed lunch, you are welcome to bring your own and share a table with us. Payment for the
barbeque can be made to any of the board members, put in the mailbox at the dealership or given
to me anytime we meet up. The last day to pay will be at the April 10th meeting so we have time to
contact Jimbo’s for order.
We are planning to have a table set up with all the supplies to paint rocks that will be placed at
some of the area medical facilities. It puts a smile on someone’s face when they find a simple little
rock with an inspiring message. Let’s spread some good cheer!!
A big shout out to two of our ladies who took us on nice country ride this past weekend. Tammy
Stanton took us from Lakeland through the winding back roads up to the gas station south of
Brooksville to meet up with Connie Zimmer who continued our journey. We made a stop at a local
farm for some fresh vegetables and then cruised again on the winding back roads to lunch at Coney
Island. Great having these ladies take charge and plan an enjoyable day out. Looking forward to
more!!!
If anyone has ideas for things the Ladies could help out with, let us
know.
Let’s keep riding and hanging out,
Dale Barkman

NOTES
This month has been crazy busy for me – I know I say that a
lot, but it’s been full of family visits and playing with
grandkids and many other things that has stolen my
attention. Because of my shortage of time, I decided to pull
an article I wrote a few years ago. We have a few folks that
are learning to ride for the first time and a few members tre changing up their ride, so I
felt it might be appropriate to share how I felt when I first started out. Hope you enjoy!
What Makes a Great Rider?
Being the baby of the bunch, I find myself constantly wondering to myself if I’m a good
rider. I ask my peers if they see me doing anything I shouldn’t or if there’s something I
should be doing that I’m not. This is always on my mind – which leads me to my question,
what makes a great rider?
In the beginning I would think to myself, if I could just get out of my own head and
allow my confidence to build I’ll be a good rider. I slowly got to the place that I wasn’t
terrified just sitting on my bike and then I began thinking if I could only get to the
place that my muscle memory was stronger I’ll be a good rider. By the time I would go
thru my thoughts “throttle off, clutch, shift, clutch, throttle on” more time had gone
by than actually takes to perform the function. Let’s not forget the hand signals and
watching for road debris and random cars that appear out of nowhere – so many things
to learn!
Finally I’m sailing thru my gears, shifting up and down as if tying my shoes. But am I a
good rider yet? Maybe it comes down to choosing the right riding gear. Maybe it will
come after I have a few years under my belt. Or would it be more related to the number
of miles I’ve ridden? And what about riding on different terrain and during different
weather conditions? If a seasoned rider began to feel they had learned all that needed
to be learned and their skills were all they would ever need to be, would that not then
make them a careless rider? So is there a magic formula that creates a Great Rider?
Maybe we never become great riders....maybe we just need to strive daily to be better
riders. I believe it’s a conscious effort every time you get on your bike. I believe it’s
staying alert to what’s going on around you. I believe it’s about owning your actions and
riding responsibly. How do we ride responsibly? By honoring your lane, using your
signals, following the traffic laws, staying alert and being sensible about what’s safe. I
will never achieve being a great rider, but I’m constantly trying to become a better
rider and maybe that is what makes a good rider.
Tamara Stanton - Newsletter EditorChecklist for New Motorcycle Owners:
You’ve done it. You’ve bought your first bike.
Congratulations - and welcome to a whole new world.
It’s easy to let the excitement and anticipation be at
the forefront of your mind, but before you hit the open
road, it’s important to be aware of some basic safety
tips and tricks in order to keep you (and everyone
else!) safe.
We’ve put together a handy mental checklist for first-
time motorcycle owners – though these are good tips to
keep in mind regardless of your experience level.
1. Take It Seriously: Motorcycles are awesome,
and riding a bike is an absolute blast. That shouldn’t
distract you from the fact that biking is a high-speed, high-risk activity. Don’t
try to go full throttle on your first few rides out, and ride even more defensively
than you drive. An accident that might slightly damage a car could destroy your
bike beyond repair (and more importantly, kill or seriously injure you). You can
only control your own bike on the road – how everyone else drives just isn’t up
to you. Therefore, strive to be ten times more observant while on your bike than
in a car. Check every intersection, be wary in parking lots, and never ride in
anyone’s blind spot. Work on anticipating potentially dangerous situations
ahead of you, so that you are prepared for the worst.
2. ATGATT: A famous acronym among bikers, ATGATT stand for All the Gear All
the Time. Being geared up is an absolute must when it comes to riding your
motorcycle. It doesn’t matter if you’re hopping down the road to grab a snack –
crashes can happen anywhere and anytime (and most often, accidents happen
close to home). Visit your local bike shop or dealer and ask for some help
getting all set up for your first ride. You’ll need a high-quality, DOT-certified
full-face helmet, along with an armored jacket and/or pants, riding boots, and
reinforced gloves – and those are just the basics. You have plenty of options to
up your safety even further, including ear and eye protection. You get what you
pay for, so buy high quality. How much is your head worth? Do you want to bet
your life on a $25 helmet? We didn’t think so.
3. Take a Class: Just because your uncle or your college buddy has a bike doesn’t
mean they are your best bet for teaching you how to hit the road safely and
confidently. Dirt biking all your life does not mean you will be all set on a
motorcycle. Find an MSF (Motorcycle Safety Foundation) course near you – it
will only take a weekend, and you’ll come out a much more confident biker. In
some cases, taking safety courses can also make you eligible for insurance
discounts, and allow you to skip road and written tests in certain states’
licensing processes. If riding your bike is something you plan on doing
regularly, it really is worth it to take a beginning and even an advanced course
to help you maintain a strong visible presence on the road.
4. Check the Weather: Safe riders plan ahead. As a new biker, this holds
especially true for you. Wet pavement reduces traction, particularly on painted
road lines, and heavy rainfall can make road hazards harder to see. Even
something as simple as a puddle can be quite dangerous to an unsuspecting
biker. Know your limits, and take extra caution during wind, rain and fog. If you
know about inclement weather beforehand, you can be prepared with water-
resistant gear, or map an alternate route to avoid the worst of the weather.
There’s nothing worse than being caught out in the rain without the proper
riding gear.
5. Set Yourself a Routine: Check your bike before and after every ride. This might
be hard to remember at first, but force yourself to make it a habit. Check your
tire pressure, test out your brakes, and make sure you have enough gas to get
you where you want to go. After your ride, check that your wheels are in good
shape and that nothing is dripping. Visually checking your bike is one of the
best ways to avoid larger problems down the road (pardon the pun).6. Don’t Ride Impaired: Obviously, don’t drink and ride. Even having a single
drink can affect your ability to turn smoothly. But drinking isn’t the only
impairment you might face before choosing to get on your bike. Anything that
affects your ability to be hyper vigilant is a big no before biking. This includes
things you might not think about, like your prescription medications – even over
the counter medicines can affect how you function. Don’t get on your bike if
you’ve taken anything that might decrease your attention span or cause you to
be tired, groggy, or slow to react. Speaking of being tired: tired biking can be as
dangerous as drunk biking. Even a 15-minute nap can help retune your senses.
Another thing to keep in mind - riding under the influence of a strong emotion,
like anger or grief, will affect your decision-making and take away from your
ability to pay attention to the road. Don’t get on your bike unless you are calm
and rational – and think about riding as if you are in no hurry. Arrive Alive!
7. Be Prepared for the Worst: You should always carry Uninsured Motorist
Coverage on your bike, also having Uninsured Motorist Coverage (“Stacked”) on
your automobile insurance agreement(s). But what if something terrible
happens to you? Do you have a family? If so (and really, even if not), you should
have disability and life insurance, and should have all of your affairs in order.
Write a will, if you haven’t. Engaging in a potentially high-risk habit like biking
means that you should be prepared for the worst, so your family isn’t left
picking up the pieces in the event of a tragedy.
This checklist of tips and warnings is not to deter you from riding – we do, however,
want you riding safely and smartly for many years to come.PIG TALES This month pig tales is all about highlights from the month. Some are with the little piglets and some are about achieving another BINGO! Hope you enjoy the photos! And please, share with us your PIG TALES!
