Las Vegas, NV
by El Presidente
Unfortunately, I was unable to attend the traditional January Club Meeting & Dinner at the George & Dragon Pub this year because I was in Las Vegas for the weekend. I always look forward to this dinner as it’s the first place I attended an AZRATPack dinner way back in 2006. At least though, I was doing something motorcycle related!

Heat Related Illness
Here is another worthwhile article that Rodney found in the GWRRA newsletter:
Heat related illnesses are extremely dangerous. The symptoms and causes are gradual and can accelerate to the point that can cause your body organs to function improperly. The biggest cause of heat related illness is dehydration. Without the proper amount of fluids and salt, vital organs like the kidneys, brain, and heart cannot function. Your blood thickens and your heart pumps much harder to circulate blood throughout the body.
Getting in the Mindset of Tire Safety
Rodney found this article in the GWRRA newsletter that he thought should be posted here especially with the hot summer months upon us.
This month we are going to focus on the three most important things on the bike. The two contacts (tires) and the one under the helmet. Everything we do rides on the tires. We need to train ourselves on the importance of checking and maintaining our tires. Protection against avoidable breakdowns and crashes, improved vehicle handling, better fuel economy, and increased tire life. Just a few reasons to check your tire pressure EVERY day.
