Chapter N News
By : Mitch & Cheryl Brumitt
Looks like winter is going to stick around for a few more weeks, at least according to Punxsutawney Phil. I’d have to agree with him after all this snow. April can’t come soon enough! So have you found all those accessories that we want to add to your bike?
Looks like a good turnaround for our annual Sweetheart’s Dinner at Mancini’s on February 20th. Good food and good friends, what a combination for fun. This month we’re trying out a new location for our monthly breakfast social.
We lost an old friend and a new friend in the last month and half. We will miss you.
Everyone think spring!!

Today as I sit here contemplating the upcoming riding season, the helmet issue comes to mind. The first question: Is the wearing of a helmet necessary? In States where it's the law, YES! In States that allow freedom of choice, the answer should still be yes, however freedom of choice should prevail.
Physiologically, the wearing of a helmet is the wise choice as it helps protect one from head injury, provides comfort in inclement weather, and if so equipped will provide good radio communication.
Psychologically, we as a people like freedom of choice. Going back to the inclement weather part of the last paragraph, the hot side of weather can be uncomfortable under a helmet. The experts tell us that under helmet temps in an outside temp of 112 degrees is only 104 degrees; however today’s helmets do not provide enough ventilation to evaporate the sweat that helps cool us.
Knowing what the helmet can and cannot do for you, the best choice should be to choose to wear your helmet. Where freedom of choice is available, the choice should be yours and yours alone.
