Raffle, Food, Fun

New Century’s monthly Bike Night (second Thursday of the month spring through autumn) is a social gathering where motorcycle industry professionals, enthusiasts and owners meet and mingle in a friendly, fun atmosphere. New Century is hosting the bike show to support the work that Redbird does with its Motorcycle Technical Skills Workshops at Chilao School (Angeles National Forest near Newcomb’s Ranch restaurant). The workshops pare peer learning with track days to give riders the opportunity to learn skills and exchange ideas in a friendly, supportive atmosphere, and have a chance to go out on a track, under controlled circumstances, with coaching and support. The goal of this fundraiser is to have an operating budget for a few more workshops in 2018 or early 2019.

The next workshop at Chilao School will take place on September 30, following Moto Yoga, when Ian Carpenter will join us to talk about motorcycles and cars in a presentation we’re calling “The Physics of Things with Wheels - an afternoon with Ian." This workshop will be audience-driven, to insure the information presented matches the needs of the participants. It has not been pared with a track opportunity as of September 18; Chilao School is always open to making new friends and new relationships, so if you are affiliated with a track provider and would like to partner on this event, please let them know. Email is the best way to reach us at Chilao School - redbirds_vision@hotmail.com

(A bit of history about technical skills workshops at Chilao School - our first workshop was lead by Lance Holst in spring 2017 and actually took place in Santa Clarita at Old Town Newhall Library, in conjunction with the art show Highway 2 - the journey and the destination. It has always been the goal of the art show to diffuse some of the public’s negative image about motorcyclists and find ways to work riding skills on a peer to peer learning level into our art program. People are still talking about Lance’s presentation, which was followed several months later by California Highway Patrol officer Aaron Gonzales, and two workshops in conjunction with Pete Esquivel of

West Coast GP Moto. Workshops are free, lunch and refreshments are served, donations are appreciated, and when we can, we pare the workshop with a discount at an existing track day by agreement with the track day provider. When feasible, we offer on-track support via the workshop leaders. New Century Motorcycles sponsored the track opportunity with Aaron Gonzalez in 2017; Brady Walker’s Classic Track Days sponsored our most recent workshop with West Coast GP Moto on July 7, 2018).

Chilao School is owned and operated by Redbird, a 501(c)(3) non profit association, www.RedbirdsVision.org
