We have been asked by Melissa at the Home Office (GWRRA) to see if riders are having transmission problems to see if this is a problem Region-wide.  The Home Office is trying to determine if the problem described in the below PDF is of sufficient  magnitude as to warrant some kind of interaction with Honda of America.  Please read the letter that was received by our Chapter Director.

Motorcycling has risks, like any other sport or form of transportation.  But the consequences of an incident are greater than say a car or truck.  In addition, since a motorcycle must be balanced, they demand a greater skill level to properly and safely operate than a car.

 

In South Carolina and in GWRRA we are fortunate to have excellent training resources available.  South Carolina Rider Education, or SCRiderEd, provides learning opportunities from beginner to advanced through the State's Technical College System.  Research has shown that not only does initial training reduce the likely hood of being involved in a crash, but regular refresher courses help keep riders safer over the long haul.  So consider taking an Intermediate or Experienced Rider Course with certified MSF Rider Coach instructors at a Technical College near you.  It is a lot of fun and you'll be a better, safer rider for it.
