Check your helmet before riding this spring The start of riding season is a good time to inspect your helmet because over time, the glues, resins and other helmet materials break down and reduce its effectiveness. Manufacturers say a helmet should be changed every 3-5 years and if dropped once, it should be replaced. That’s because your helmet is only designed to absorb one impact, and even a small one can damage its protective capabilities. Check the fit – if your helmet feels loose on your head, then the impact-absorbing padding has disintegrated and it’s time for a new one! When buying a new helmet, wear it for 15 minutes around the store to ensure the right fit. It should not be too tight or too loose and it should sit above your eyes properly. Clean With Care Most riders, like you, take the time to clean and polish their bikes. On the surface of it, that's a good thing. Let's talk about what not to do when cleaning your bike. First, NEVER use high-pressure washers to clean the bike. Those devices often found in self-service car washes and available at hardware stores can do more harm than good. A stream of water and detergent under pressure can push past wheel and fork seals, allowing the water to contaminate the lubricants. High-pressure air, while not pushing water past the seals, does create an easy path for dust, sand and grime to sneak past seals. So don't high-pressure clean anything. Next, some cleaners contain abrasives that can damage the clear coat used to protect aluminum engine parts as well as the clear coat applied over the paint. UV inhibitors are often used to discourage paint fading and to protect tires. If used on your tires, take care to avoid getting any of the spray on the tire treads. It makes the tires look shiny black but acts like a lubricant. It will reduce the tire's ability to grip the road. Using it on the seat makes it look good too, but if you have to use the brakes, you'll slide forward fast, stopping only when you hit the gas tank (which may not be the most comfortable feeling in the world). Windshields also require special care. They are all made of plastics and are more scratch-prone than glass. Small haze and surface scratches can be polished out using polishing creams specifically formulated for plastic windscreens. Finally saddlebags are made of fiberglass or other plastics so abrasive compounds should be avoided. |

The SCRC has choosen St. Jude Children's Hospital as its primary charity. We are not discouraging the participation in other charities. We do want to point out some reasons that we chose St. Jude as our Club Charity.
2. St. Jude's Hospital serves the world. 3. St. Jude has a very high success rate in curing or sending disease into remission. 4. St. Jude shares the results with Cancer Treatment and Research Centers from around the World. 5. St. Jude relies on the assistance of organizations like the Southern Cruisers Riding Club to keep their Research and Treatment Centers in operation. Without the generosity and concern of groups like ours, their mission would fail. |
