Safety Report

by Gary Klinker

Fall clean-up is under way for Safe Rider. We have emptied our storage facility and are returning some retired bikes to the DOT. Along with the state bikes, we have six of our own bikes that we are putting up for sale. Check the list below to see if there is anything that you are interested in. I’m sure they all will need batteries and probably carb cleaning. An oil change and some TLC should make them very nice for young riders to learn both maintenance and operation, One or two would even be nice for restoration. To see the bikes call me (608) 427-3845 and we can set something up.

1974 Yamaha 200 2 stroke, 5900 miles                                           $250

1981 Suzuki GS 250 4 stroke twin,13000 miles                            $350 with title

1981 Yamaha Virago 250 4 stroke single, 9800 miles                 $250

1978 or 79 Suzuki GS 250 4 stroke twin, 9700 miles                   $250

1974 Yamaha RD 250 2 stroke twin, 6800 miles                          $500 with title

1986 Honda Rebel 4 stroke, 10000 miles                                       $250

We have already set a date for our scheduling meeting and will have the next season of classes listed by the first of the year. The Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety Program held a fall wrap-up at the end of October. I’ll have some information about that next month. I want to thank our office staff and Rider Coaches for another successful year. The bikes have been hauled to storage for their winter maintenance.

I hope everyone had a good time at the State Meeting and Anniversary celebration in Johnson Creek. Thanks to the folks in District 1 for all the work. Next thing to look forward to is Officer’s Training. It is always good to get together with so many dedicated people. Have a good Thanksgiving and a safe deer season. It is a good time to count our blessings and enjoy family time.

Ride Safe,

Gary
