Chapter Member Spotlight - Rodney & Sherry Wooten I started riding my first street bike in 1981 a Suzuki 360.

Chapter Member Spotlight - Jimmy & Sarah Brown I have been riding motorcycles since I was 4. About two weeks after my dad took the training wheels off of my bicycle, he brought home a Yamaha YZ50, the YZinger. I got my first street bike when I was 15. A Suzuki GS650. I appreciate all manner of motorcycles, but since that first inline 4, I have preferred V-Twin cruisers. I’m on my 12th off-road bike, and my 12th street bike. Sarah started riding when she met me in 2002.

How often do riders get lost in the scenery or music playing? It’s not hard when you’re riding somewhere new or your favorite Lynyrd Skynyrd song is blasting from your speakers. Isn’t part of the fun being lost in the moment or making memories while out on the ride? I think we can all say we’ve been guilty of it a few times. Let’s talk about focusing and how it impacts braking while out riding. Braking consists of three separate parts: Perception, Reaction, and Braking Distance

With the riding season in full swing, I want to remind everyone to ride safely. Here are ten motorcycle safety tips to keep you alive and well this season:

Chapter Member Spotlight - Rick Barber I've been riding for at least 50 years, getting my first dirt bike when I returned from Viet Nam in '69. I've had several over the years. Currently riding an '09 Root Beer Custom Ultra. (Retirement present from me to me, lol!)

Chapter Member Spotlight - Kenneth Bingham In high school I always wanted a motorcycle. Back then being from a small town (New Iberia), the bike to get was a Cushman Scooter. But having a very sensible father, “NO” was the answer. “Those things are dangerous.”

Chapter Member Spotlight - Mark & Micki Babineaux I’ve been riding since my High School days, (in other words a long time). The first scooter that I had was a Vespa. Then in “73” I graduated to a Yamaha. As the years flew by, I went to a CB 360 Honda, a 500 Suzuki, and then a Honda 750 ACE. I kept that Honda for 10 years and rode it 7,500 miles.

Chapter Member Spotlight - Brad Vidrine Well, Mine is a long story with lots of twists and turns. As most folks, I had lots of dreams. Both 4 wheeled and 2 wheeled. Back in the day when muscle cars were actually fairly commonplace and cheap, I owned several which are now considered classics. I was able to live a lot of those dreams, but in the end, the 2 wheeled dream won out.
