The Cape Fear Chapter Fayetteville NC #3473 was Chartered in September 1987. The name was derived from the region that it was in. The original club consisted of fifteen (15) members and soon grew to forty (40) within a few short months. Over the years, the club has gained and lost members through relocations, change of life styles and demise. Overall, the club has steadily grown and prospered with a current membership of 273 as of January 2007.

The Warning Signs of Impending Disaster |
Perhaps you don't consider yourself an athlete when you're riding your motorcycle on the road. But in intense hot weather, you should.
Think about it. When the summer turns really steamy, the folks in cars all have their windows rolled up and the AC on max, while you swelter inside your armored clothes. So even if you couldn't do a Special Forces pushup if your life depended on it, that puts you in a category with others who need to manage their body temperature in the face of extreme conditions - people like runners, bicyclists and triathletes. |

Safe riding is always good riding. Riding safely is mostly a matter of knowledge and attitude, and riding safely doesn’t have to be boring. In fact, practicing safe techniques could add years of fun to your life. Simply put, here are 10 habits to practice that will help keep you safe and make riding more enjoyable. | | 1. Be ready: mind, body, and bike. 2. Be smooth. 3. Know where you are. 4. Use your head (to look where you’re going.) 5. When your line of sight or path of travel becomes restricted, reduce your speed and use great care. 6. Before proceeding through any intersection, check left, check front, check right, then check left again. 7. Whenever you slow, first check your rearview mirror. 8. Keep a 2-4 second following distance. 9. Ride with a great attitude. 10. Practice. (Source: Minnesota Motorcycle Safety Program) -Steven Adam (RC / Safety Officer) |
