REGION “A” GWRRA TRAVELING PLAQUE RULES
2007-2008 The Plaque may be captured by any GWRRA member(s) or
chapter who arrive at the meeting place of the chapter holding the plaque and
must travel by motorcycle between March 15 & November 15.
The capturing chapter must not be composed of unassociated members who
assemble on site for the sole purpose of capturing the plaque. Guests who ride with a challenging chapter cannot be officers
in any other chapter. The capture will be determined by combining the sum total of the number of chapter members times the number of miles ridden one way. The miles must be computed from the chapter monthly business meeting place to the capture site by using the shortest distance as determined by Mapquest. A copy of the Mapquest calculations must be presented at the time of capture. The chapter with the greatest total amount of miles becomes the new “Captive” chapter. All Region Staff, District Directors and Assistants should exclude themselves from the mileage calculations in capturing the plaque. Any question as to miles traveled or other issues must be resolved at the time of the capture. Once the plaque has departed the point of capture, there is no recall. It will be the responsibility of the captive chapter to
report the capture immediately to Ed Porter, Region “A” Webmaster, eeporter@verizon.net
and to Bob Shrader, Region “A” Director, floridadd@msn.com.
The captive chapter must make the plaque available within
30 days of capture on a Saturday or Sunday.
The plaque goes into play at the Region
“A” Rally and will be recalled and returned to the Region “A” Director 2
weeks prior to the next Region “A” Rally. AT THE REGION “A” RALLY THE WINNING CHAPTER WILL BE
THE CHAPTER THAT TRAVELED THE MOST MILES. THEY
WILL BE AWARDED $100.00 AND THE ENGRAVED PLAQUE. THE CHAPTER WITH THE SECOND MOST MILES WILL BE AWARDED
$50.00. NEW INCENTIVE THE CHAPTER THAT MAKES THE MOST ATTEMPTS TO CAPTURE THE
PLAQUE WITHOUT SUCCESS WILL BE AWARDED $50.00 AT THE REGION “A” RALLY.
PLEASE E-MAIL THE REGION A DIRECTOR WITH YOUR ATTEMPT INFORMATION WITHIN
2 DAYS OF ATTEMPTED CAPTURE.

Below is a brief explanation of the insurance coverage and
process that your Chapter dues cover. If you have any questions please
feel free to give me a call. The GWRRA liability insurance policy goes into effect
immediately upon the approval of a Member becoming an officer, the
approval of a chapter designation and the receipt of the annual
chartering fee. The two million-dollar liability insurance policy protects GWRRA Officers when involved in authorized GWRRA business for social events and a designated third party (mall, meeting place, co-sponsoring authority, etc). This policy extends coverage for approved District and Region rallies and certain Chapter-sponsored events. The limits of this policy are stated on the Certificate of Liability Insurance that appears on GW Info Exchange. The policy numbers are stated on the Certificate of Insurance located at www.gwrra.org/officers/officerresources. GWRRA has adequate insurance to cover officers and volunteers when representing GWRRA in authorized GWRRA business and GWRRA events internationally. Liability coverage pays, on behalf of GWRRA, sums GWRRA is legally obligated to pay for bodily injury arising out of GWRRAʼs business activities. Any present Directors, Officers or Volunteers of GWRRA are covered. GWRRAʼs insurance policy covers the various "officers" who are involved in the various activities of the Region, District and Chapters. Other GWRRA members who volunteer their time and services at GWRRA rallies are covered by the insurance policy and are included as additional insureds. The limit of liability is $2 million. Please refer to Certificate of Insurance www.gwrra.org/officers/pdf/insurance/link4.pdf Also, Chapter members of GWRRA who plan, assist and take leadership roles in various chapter events (mall shows, ice cream rides etc) are covered by the liability insurance provided by GWRRA. As referenced above, there are no exclusions of coverage for volunteers. Family members or friends who volunteer at a rally are also covered under the GWRRA policy. GWRRA Home Office and the Event Management Group support / endorse guided tour rides at rallies. If a group of GWRRA members leads a tour, they are covered by GWRRA insurance. When a Region is hosting a rally and there will be vendors present, GWRRA requires vendors to carry liability coverage with a limit of $1 million. This information is taken directly from the GWRRA insurance policy and verified by K & K Insurance Group. In the event GWRRA insurance coverage does not satisfy the requirements of the GWRRA group putting on an event, the group may purchase additional coverage at their own expense. Diana

As such, it is important that the process be done in a professional manner and with respect for all participants. Consistency in the classification process, safety inspection and judging will make all the difference in the world in the success of a bike show.

We have had some inquiries regarding the Bill #322.0255, this is a copy of page 70 and we got clarification regarding this issue. ABATE is stating that all motorcycle registrations will require a safety course. That is true BUT this only applies to riders who are not currently holding a Motorcycle endorsement on their license. This will only apply to those riders. The wording has changed to exclude the under 21 yrs of age and will apply to all unendorsed riders. This information came to GWRRA through Louie Kyler, State Administrator for Florida Rider Training Program, Division of Drivers Licenses. Mr. Kyler also stated that the ERC License Waiver is not in compliance with state statues and will no longer be recognized for endorsement. 593-2419-06 322.12 Examination of applicants.-- 5)(a) The department shall formulate a separate examination for applicants for licenses to operate motorcycles. Any applicant for a driver's license who wishes to operate a motorcycle, and who is otherwise qualified, must successfully complete such an examination, which is in addition to the examination administered under subsection (3). The examination must test the applicant's knowledge of the operation of a motorcycle and of any traffic laws specifically relating thereto and must include an actual demonstration of his or her ability to exercise ordinary and reasonable control in the operation of a motorcycle. Any applicant who fails to pass the initial knowledge examination will incur a $5 fee for each subsequent examination, to be deposited into the Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund. Any applicant who fails to pass the initial skills examination will incur a $10 fee for each subsequent examination, to be deposited into the Highway Safety Operating Trust Fund. In the formulation of the examination, the department shall consider the use of the Motorcycle Operator Skills Test and the Motorcycle in Traffic Test offered by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. The department shall indicate on the license of any person who successfully completes the examination that the licensee is authorized to operate a motorcycle. If the applicant wishes to be licensed to operate a motorcycle only, he or she need not take the skill or road test required under subsection (3) for the operation of a motor vehicle, and the department shall indicate such a limitation on his or her license as a restriction. Every first-time applicant for licensure to operate a motorcycle who is under 21 years of age must provide proof of completion of a motorcycle safety course, as provided.
