Group Pleasure with Jay Slomka What’s the difference between a ‘group’ and a ‘bunch’? Do you have fun when you join a group ride, or do you avoid it? If the answers are not in the affirmative, maybe there’s something missing. Group riding, when done properly and safely can be one of the best times to be had on 2 wheels! Come in and let’s discuss the differences and similarities all of you have concerning group riding with our own ERC and BMF. We think you’ll be surprised!	2:00pm-3:00pm Room TBD
Jay Slomka Co-Riders Who are these people back there, hollering in our ears? What do they have to do with anything? Isn’t it just “Sit down—Hold on—Shut up—Enjoy the ride”?  Anyone who subscribes to that is missing all the enjoyment of the 2-UP experience! Let me paraphrase, “If the Co-Rider ain’t happy, ain’t NOBODY happy!!” Let’s explore what goes on back on the pillion seat, how they make, or break, an excursion, how they affect you, the rider, and how you can both enjoy things more! Be sure to bring your Co-Rider with you, if possible.Be sure to bring your Co-Rider with you!	3:00pm-4:00pm Room TBD

Money in the Bank with Bruce Yates Bruce Yates will again (for the 6th year in a row) hold this seminar to help sort out these erratic financial times. Bruce's financial seminar has been extremely popular at past reunions. He (and the planners) originally received a great deal of flack for putting a financial seminar on at a "biker" event. But that first session was a hit, proving once again that LT riders are not your average "bikers". Attendees left with a new understanding of financial planning in these confusing times, and the financial session has been a popular part of CCR ever since. Bruce, author and founder of an investment firm with clients in 26 states, is a savvy investment counselor who puts on an excellent presentation. We already have great interest in this session so make your plans to attend.	4:00pm-5:00pm Room TBD
