Greetings to all of our Central Route Riders!
Hope this newsletter finds all of you well and eager to ride! On Saturday, March 12, our RFTW Board members made the unanimous decision Run XXXII is a “GO” in May 2022! Our hard working state coordinators are finishing up the last details so that we can get the itinerary approved and published.
IMPORTANT NOTE: ALL registration MUST be done electronically. NO “paper” registration will be done on site. If you register right now, it will cost you $30; beginning May 1, the price goes up to $50.
No matter where you join the run, there will be a “check-in” process rather than a “registration” process. You will need:
- Proof of insurance
- Valid Drivers’ license with a motorcycle endorsement
- Current registration for your motorcycle/vehicle
Without ANY of these three, you will NOT be permitted to join us. I recommend you take photos of each of these three documents in case of an emergency, as they will be acceptable at the check-in table.
Last month I asked riders who had trailers if they would consider loaning them to us for chase drivers to haul disabled bikes. We had an overwhelmingly positive response, and now have a full complement of chase vehicles ready to roll. The generosity of our RFTW riders never ceases to amaze me.
We have over 330 Central Route riders registered as of this writing, and are 63 days until KSU (Kick Stands UP)! If you haven’t had a chance to enroll in a Riders Training Course, I urge you to find one in your area. As I stated last month, riding in formation is difficult because it requires a higher level of concentration than a normal Sunday Hog ride. Some of you don’t get much riding in the winter, and we missed two RFTW years due to Covid, so this could be a really important safety measure for you.
I look forward to seeing you in May. Stay Safe. God Bless the United States of America.
