I’ve been keeping this under my helmet for awhile, but am so excited to finally be able to mention that the CHROME DIVAS have come to Des Moines – and that I am a founding member!
While poking around on the Web one night last summer I did some reading about this organization for women motorcycle enthusiasts, founded in 2002. I was surprised to learn that although there was a very large and active chapter in the Cedar Rapids area, there was not yet a chapter here in Des Moines.
So, together with my gal pals Shirley, Susan (Coyote) and Stephanie (Iowa Harley Girl), we launched the Chrome Divas of Des Moines in August 2011. We’ve added two additional members since then – Janet (“Seven Over”) and Penney (“One Cent”).
The Chrome Divas is simply an organization for women who share a passion for motorcycles – all brands, all levels of riding. We currently meet monthly, and we’ll be creating opportunities to ride together and work on behalf of some our favorite community organizations. Our primary mission is four-fold:
We’re lucky and thankful to have Sambetti’s, a local bar and grill, as the “official home of the Chrome Divas of Des Moines.” A big THANK YOU to Paul Strome, owner of Sambetti’s, for his encouragement and support of our little group! (I personally recommend the “10 oz top” special, the chicken strips, the house dressing on the crisp, cold salads, and – OMG – the ONION RINGS!! Lunch, dinner or drinks – Sambetti’s is one of my favorite spots in Des Moines!)
As for membership, right now we’re keeping growth slow and purposeful so as not to get too big too fast, but we are excited about being part of this great organization and are definitely planning to increase our numbers!

I recently had a few days off from work and the days were sunny so I was determined to get at least a couple of good day-rides in. Steve had been wanting to get out to see the 2012 mural on the Freedom Rock, so Greenfield was our first destination along with Shirley, Garry, Dave R., Kristin and Teri Ann.
It was going to be another very hot day, so even though Greenfield and the Rock are only about 60 miles away, we planned a stop halfway. We took off along SW 9th Street in Des Moines, which quickly becomes County Road R63 heading south, and turned west at Highway 92. In the past we’ve stopped frequently at the Casey’s General Store that sits a hundred feet from the junction of 92 and 169 at Winterset, and such was my plan here again – but, upon making the left turn off 92 I quickly realized that the familiar building was gone and the site was under re-construction. Thank goodness this is Iowa, and there is always another Casey’s!
After a brief stop to “stretch and hydrate” (as my former boss used to say), we took off again to the west – traveled the 24 miles to Greenfield along 92, then north another 12 miles along Highway 25 to the Freedom Rock – so named because local artist Ray Sorensen paints a new military-themed mural on the rock every year. This year’s Rock recognizes the Tomb of the Unknowns, US Naval Petty Officer Taylor Morris, the POW experience, and Iowa’s Sullivan Brothers.
The Rock has become a destination for bikers, veterans, and other military supporters from around the country. There is a contingent of bikers that now stops here each year while en route from the west coast to the Viet Nam memorial in Washington, D.C. just before Memorial Day.
While at the Rock we encountered an older gentleman who was also visiting – turns out he is a Greenfield area resident and also a WWII veteran and Pearl Harbor survivor. He said he visits the rock frequently to chat with the people who come to see it.
We also met a fellow rider – a gal named Michele who had come down on a solo ride from her home in Story City. She gave us a terrific gift – a group photo that included ALL of us (rather than the usual “all minus the photographer”). It was neat to chat with her there at the Rock, and we invited her to head north with us to our next stop at Guthrie Center.
We left the Rock and headed north along Highway 25, which took us into Guthrie Center and yes, another Casey’s. This was the same location where we’d stopped in 2006 and met the woman whose dad helped trowel Albert the Bull over in Audubon.
Visited a little more with Michele here, and finalized our route home. She traveled a few miles east with us to Panora, where we waved a farewell and turned to the south on County Road P28. We picked up F59 a few miles outside of Panora, then F60 outside of Redfield, and stopped again for a final stretch-and-hydrate at Adel. We picked up Highway 6 going east out of Adel, and took that all the way into Des Moines. It’s funny that this used to be a very rural drive. Now, after decades of record growth westward from Des Moines, it’s a short 7 mile path from Adel to Waukee and then 100 percent developed from Waukee clear through to the far east side of the Des Moines area. So we’re now “back in town” even though we are riding through a town that used to be considered “out in the boondocks.”
In all we traveled 150 miles and were pretty well roasted by the time we got home (I was going to say we were “baked,” but I think that might mean something else!), but it was certainly a great way to spend a vacation day!

One of the great things about a worn down track is the help from ruts and berms. Sure they can make things difficult, but they essentially help us keep our speed up in the corners. Just like in NASCAR, the angled surface allows the bike to lean over and still find plenty of traction. However, there are situations where you don’t always have this luxury and you must bring out your inner flat tracker.
Since you don’t have any help with your leaning, the entrance needs to be a little bit different. When approaching the corner, take a wider approach than you normally would. If you have ever watched any kind road racing, drives use wide lines that are smooth arcs. Traction is very important here, so you want to get all of your braking done before you start to lean in. When you are upright, the tires have the most bite for better braking. Just like normal turns, you want to be in the attack position and keep looking ahead.
When it comes time to sit down, remember that this is one, fluid motion: get off the brakes, sit up on the gas cap, leg out and apply the throttle. The smoother you are, the easier the corner will be. Sitting up close to the gas cap will put as much weight on the front wheel as possible for optimal traction which will give you some confidence when you lean in. The best way to sit is on the outside edge of the seat. This keeps your weight centered and straight down, rather than out and away.
The basics really play a big role in this situation. That outside elbow better be up and the outside peg should be weight. Again, this puts more emphasis on traction. If you feel that the rear wants to drift out still, you can drag the rear brake to weight the back end down. This is a great technique to use on the exit when power is put to the ground. However, if you have a steady throttle hand, you won’t need to use this as often.
Drifting out too wide can leave the door open for a pass. Keeping your elbow up and weight on the outside peg gives you the traction to power through the turn and avoid drifting out. Unlike riding through a wide arc, squaring up flat turns robs momentum and drive. It is time consuming and a waste of energy. Once you find that balance between leaning and twisting the throttle, these corners become excellent passing opportunities.

Before warming up and putting in a ride at the Compound, Garland and Jacko went question for question for an uncensored update.
JACKO: So Garland, how are you today?
GLAND: Doing great bud. Getting ready for a great practice sesh here at the Compound.
JACKO: Alright sounds good… Now let’s get into the serious stuff. You’ve got to marry one, bang one, and kill one. We’ve got Shane’s wife, Jimmy Fitzpatrick, and Jimmy Hill’s sister. The noble thing to do would be to kill Shane’s wife.
GLAND: Yeah, I’d have to. Sorry Shane, it’s the most reasonable thing to do. As for Hill’s sister, I’ve never met her but he has that long hair so I don’t know.
JACKO: So answer the question… are you gonna bang Hill’s sister?
GLAND: Yeah.
JACKO: Looks like your’e marrying Fitzpatrick. Your fucked! So what’s your plan for 2013?
GLAND: 2013.. Nuclear Cowboys is kicking off we will see what the rest of the year brings with some demos or tours. I don’t know… we’ll see if the worlds still standing after 12/21/12… that’s the end of the world apparently.
JACKO: Fuck… Looks like I’m going on a bender! I never even knew. I thought that was next year. Well we shouldn’t plan too far ahead. I guess we will just worry about then. How’s the love life?
GLAND: It’s good… girlfriend.
JACKO: That’s a slippery slope.
GLAND: How about you? Whats new in the world of Jacko Strong?
JACKO: Not much really… I am now a professional sled rider. Freestyle is just a hobby now. Welcome to Australia, we have a bobsled team. Let’s talk about the beard because the beard is coming back… Who is ready for a beard ride?
GLAND: The beard was around for about 3 years, and then went away and now it’s coming back.
JACKO: It’s gone, you got a chick.. You’re like “she aint’ leaving me now” so you’re gonna grow it again.
GLAND: Exactly.
JACKO: Do girls hate beards? I know chicks are absolutely repulsed by mullets. Fuck.. every single girl that sees you with a mullet just turns their nose up at you. So you gotta go with a beard.
GLAND: Yeah. A beard is kind of a hit or miss. They either love it or hate it… and I guess there’s some indifferent ones.
JACKO: Do you ever get any chicks that come up to you and ask you if they can sit on your beard?
GLAND: Of course… Especially in the Midwest you know. They like it out there. I think back in the day a lot of the men had beards, and I think some of the girls still like that I think.
JACKO: Yeah, it makes you feel like the alpha male. If I could grow a beard I would have one… I’ll put it that way.
GLAND: Working on any new tricks?
JACKO: We have Summer X Games coming next year so just training for best trick. The pressures on, I have to quit drinking beers and start thinking it’s that time of year again. I don’t know, after the whole winter things over I’ve got a couple of ideas and a couple of tricks that I’ve already done in my foam pit in Australia. So I’ll be back the 9-5 grind trying to figure it out. Putting the time in. How about you… How’s that boat going? Have you had any boats and hoes episodes yet?
GLAND: The boat is good it still floats… I’ve had a couple of issues of water in some of the compartments.
JACKO: They make a pump for that, don’t they?
GLAND: Yeah it’s all good… It happens. But yeah, maybe some big adventures, maybe Catalina, maybe Hawaii… who knows.
JACKO: Do you think Australia might be in the sights? Pack the bike and storm the streets to my pad?
GLAND: I think so… I think it’s definitely do-able with a 27 ft. boat. I think I’ll either make it or I won’t… but it will be a fun adventure.
JACKO: Sounds good. Well then you can do that one first on your own.
GLAND: Yea, ill meet you there.
JACKO: 10-4 rubber ducky over and out.

In addition to the graduation and Memorial Day activities we enjoyed this past weekend, we also managed to squeeze in a ride. (I actually squeezed in a solo ride, too.) On Saturday, we took off on a short “ride to eat” trip with Garry and Shirley to the tiny town of Williamson, Iowa.
This trip took us southeast along Highway 5 out of Carlisle to County Road S45, which we took south through Melcher-Dallas, then a short jog on State Highway 14 and in to Williamson.
At our destination, lunch at the Williamson Tavern was large and cheap – it was also the only thing to do in this tiny town of under 200 people. The view from the main road in either direction is testimony to the “sleepiness” of this little place, which is still three times bigger than Millerton! (Garry & Shirley also ended up buying us lunch – what Williamson lacks in venues it also lacks in ATM’s. Thanks guys, next time we’ll try to remember to bring cash!)
After lunch we headed back out along the same route, but stopped in Melcher-Dallas for a couple of pictures. We had detoured through this hyphenated town on our way down (instead of passing right by), and I wanted to go back and catch pictures of a bridge and a mural.
Unfortunately I haven’t been able to find any information about either of these local features. My “keen eye for the obvious” tells me the bridge is very old, given the weathered boards showing through under the top layer of asphalt. It arches over train tracks that run parallel to the highway. Heading into town isn’t as tricky as heading back out – the bridge dumps you right at the highway with a very short approach and a sharp downhill slope.
The other photo opp was this really neat mural painted on the back wall of the Melcher-Dallas Coal Mining Heritage Museum. A small landscaped seating area provides space to enjoy the artwork, which is signed simply “D.E. Adams, ’98.”
I posted more pictures from this ride on the BCN Facebook Page.
After taking my pictures we headed home along a route that included G76 west and S23 north. We did have one near-incident along S23 – I spotted what I thought was roadkill in the middle of the road up ahead, but quickly figured out that it was actually moving (walking) right to left. Uncertain whether it was something that could quickly reverse course, I slowed way down and went around it on the right – turned out to be a large turtle – my friends followed, but not before riding up on each other a bit too quickly. Of course I didn’t see this happening behind me, but I learned later that by slowing I had almost caused them to wreck in the back. Not good!
This, plus another near-incident on my solo Monday ride and my recent bike drop in the garage, have sort of caused me to wonder if I’m “off my feed” this year for some reason… maybe thinking too hard, or not thinking enough… anyway, it feels like I need to take a breath and push the re-start button on this riding season!

Life-changing
I am just one of those regular motocross riders that occassionally enjoy some downtime. Instead of spending the days relaxing by the beach, I decided to take up martial arts classes because I felt the need to lose weight. I’ve been hearing about the different raves and ramblings of people who lost weight because of martial arts and I thought that it would be a good idea to enroll myself in a mixed martial artsor MMA class to get fit and learn a thing or two about kicking butt.
It’s a whole new world
When I enrolled in an MMA class a couple of months ago, I wasn’t sure what I was getting myself into. The first session felt like getting on my bike for the first time and doing my first jump. The rules and etiquette of the dojo were simple, and yet it felt so complicated for me. I wasn’t exactly used to the idea of me bowing all the time to my seniors and sensei, but I did anyways. Somehow, I felt compelled to do and follow everything that was written on the dojo rulebook.
The first few days
I was serious in taking the classes, even if it meant having to sacrifice two to three hours of my time every day. My first week in the dojo was both good and bad. I didn’t realize that I could feel pain in every part of my body without having to break every bone. My first sparring session gave me two bruises in the forearm, one bruise in the ribs, and one busted lip. This was the equivalent of a minor slip and slide in motocross, and I’ve had me a few of those on every ride that I had. Thankfully, I shelved my pride as instructed by the dojo rules and etiquette, otherwise it would’ve been a crushing blow to the ego.
Then and now
Two months into the classes and I can firmly say and conclude that motocross is a lot safer than martial arts. I enjoy these two sports and I want to incorporate martial arts into my lifestyle. It helps to fill the void when I’m not practicing for any Motocross challenges or events, and it keeps me in shape. Of course, I am still open and willing to accept any injury that I get from the future sparring sessions and/or drills from my MMA classes.

Motocross Racing is a dangerous sport and many race drivers feel the stress when the race is drawing near. Some people said that a trip out, 2 to 3 days before the race will be a good stress reliever. You can hide away in the forest or the mountains or escape the pressure by joining luxury cruises to get pampered and taken cared of before a big race. According to asport psychology and mental training expert, Dr. Patrick Cohn, motocross and motorcycle race drivers improve performance and lap times by boosting mental preparations, focus and confidence on race day. There are powerful mental game tools that will boost your mental horsepower, improving one’s confidence, teamwork and consistency. No matter how skillful and talented a racer is and no matter how updated the equipment and tools he has, he is sure to fail if he is unprepared mentally for the competition.
Dr. Cohn came up with proven mental game strategies to enhance confidence and improve race focus for championship performances. He developed the RacePsych program that improves mental skills for race driver and the race team’s success.The Mental Power of RacePsych is about developing prepare routines and mental strategies to enter the zone faster, regain composure when stress or frustrations are high or when things go wrong, master the strategies to enhance teamwork and maximize your winning potential, and maintain confidence and momentum to keep you focus throughout the race.
Getting ready for the race is not just about physical preparation or conditioning. Conquering the psychological and emotional barriers is equally important. When preparing for a race, you need to prepare both physically and psychologically. Self-doubts and fear are common hurdles for athletes. The difference between the ones who succeed and those who fail can be offset by a psychological plan.
