The following description was provided by Michael Nelson nelson@seahunt.imat.com

Dr. Harry Wong, a prominent Belmont chiropractor and extremely knowledgeable sport rider, is holding a monthly series of MotorcycleRiding Clinics. These seminars are FREE, and consist of a one hour lecture followed by a three hour group ride in the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains.

The Doc Wong Riding Clinics are now in it's 15th year!

PURPOSE: Enhance your riding skills, increase your enjoyment, and learn better riding survival reflexes.

TYPE OF MOTORCYCLE: If it has 2 wheels and a motor, you're invited.

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED: The bottom line is that if you can safely negotiate the mountainous roads off Skyline Blvd, then you do have the minimum skills for the ride.  Since these are not fast sport rides, any reasonably competent rider should be able to participate. We recommend that you be comfortable with your bike and knowledgeable about your(and your bike's) limitations and capabilities. If you have been riding for at least six months you've probably got the minimum level ofexpertise required. 

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: A motorcycle in good mechanical condition, helmet,gloves, heavy jacket (leather or heavy material), heavy pants, boots...in other words, sensible riding attire. If you show up in shorts, tanktop, Oakley blades and flipflops on your feet, you _may_be invited to go home. You must also have a valid motorcycle license and insurance. Full leathers are encouraged but not required. You are responsible for your own safety.

WORKSHOP FORMAT: (Each month is a different riding skills topic)

1. Meet at Doc Wong's Chiropractic oiffice in Carlmont Shopping Center at 9 AM. After signing wavers, Doc Wong gives an hour lecture on the day's riding topic. He'll also go over Riding Within Your Abilities, Group Riding, and Road Manners. You'll be asked to fill out an optional survey for riding feedback and health issues. Then we will be split up into small groups with ride leader volunteers to lead you thru the hills.



2. The Ride: You can ride at a slower pace, you don't need to feel like you have to keep up with the riders in front of you.

We'll have volunteer ride leaders leading you on the route thru the hills. Those riders will be designated to you prior to beginning theride. As volunteer riders, they are often very willing to help you inany way they can. So feel free to ask them questions on riding, the route, etc. 

It's important to approach this whole thing with the right attitude.

If one of the volunteer ride leaders talks to you, it's meant to be constructive criticism and should be taken that way. After all, the purpose of the Clinics is to improve your skills.

We try to ride at a moderate pace, and we hold the speed down on the straights to allow slower riders to catch up. We stop at any intersection where we're turning off to another road and we don'tcontinue until everyone has arrived.

We'll try to make rest stops long enough so that the slower riders will get a rest, too.

Ride Route: http://tinyurl.com/6gs5yu

From Dr. Wong's office up to Woodside Road, up Kings Mountain Road, down Tunitas Creek Road and a short stop at the San Gregorio Road. Continue on Stage Road to the town of Pescadero to Cloverdale, Gazos Creek Road to Hwy 1. Then down Hwy 1 to Davenport for lunch. After lunch, it's south on Highway 1 to Bonny Doone Road, right on Smith Grade to Empire Grade, down Jamison Creek Road to Boulder Creek, then up Hwy 9 to the corner of Hwy 9 and Skyline at the rest stop for a final meeting. After our meeting and bull session, the group breaks up and everyone is on their own. Hope you can find your way home from there!

Special Doc Wong Workshop: Crash Scene-Life and Death Workshop, Th Night, Aug 24, 2017 6:30PM


Hi,

I lost a dear friend several years ago in a motorcycle accident and the information in this workshop may have saved his life.  Life can get pretty wild sometimes and just calling and waiting for emergency services to arrive may not be enough to save a life.  Come find out what you need to know, pro-actively, to help at the scene of a motorcycle crash and assist Emergency Medical Services.  Jill Jaehne will attend to share her experienced insights too.



What: Special Doc Wong Workshop: Crash Scene Life and Death Workshop

Special guest speaker, Paul Willett, a 20 year experienced Fire Fighter, Search and Rescue, Paramedic and motorcyclist has been at the scene of many accidents and has some vital information to share with you.  

He’ll share with you how to manage or help at the scene of an accident that may make the difference between life and death!  Much of this is not mentioned in standard First Aid/CPR classes.  This is VITAL because when help does arrive, they can be vastly assisted by your interactions!!

Paul will cover the vital topics of:
 
--Who’s coming when you call 911?  What agencies and what are their roles.  What you need to know.  Who responds in what area?

—How to manage or help at the scene of an accident.  What do you do before help arrives, how do you make the roadway safe and prevent secondary accidents?  When should you call 911? What do you say?  Who should call the shots before they come?  

—First Aid considerations: Should you move the rider?  Remove his helmet? CPR, trauma, tourniquets and more.  

—Communications: What to say to 911, police officers and Medics.  How to describe the crash and why this is important to medical staff.

—Gear: what protection works best?  Medical history ID.  What should be in a motorcyclist’s First Aid pack.
 
—Importance of speed of transport and what to do if something is wrong.

Doc Wong Braking Confidence & Skills Workshop! Thursday, Aug 17, 6:30PM




Hi,

I'm sure you're aware how to brake effectively is as important a skill as all of the other skills necessary for smooth, confident and safe riding.  I'm finding that a lot of riders can improve their skills in how and when to apply the brakes.  There is definitely a safety issue with the incorrect use of the brakes.  This causes either increased braking distances and at worst locking up the brakes prematurely, sliding out or crashing.



It's one of those skills that a lot of riders don't think of until the SHTF.  In this very unique clinic I'll be covering key points and techniques that every rider should know such as:  

Emergency Braking, Threshold Braking and Locking up the Front tire (how not to)
Braking at the limits of traction: How best to avoid crashing
Braking and Corner Entry Speed: How to Smoothly and Effectively Transition from one to the other
Critical Dos and Don'ts regarding Braking
Braking While In a Turn
Trail-braking
What Brake To Use: Front vas Rear brakes
Engine Braking
All About ABS
Braking and Downshifting
Downhill Braking



Improving riding confidence comes with knowing, applying and practicing the basic skills of riding.  With improved knowledge and skill anyone can become a smoother and safer rider.  I hope to present this vital topic to you in a way that truly improves your understanding and ability to apply this while riding and braking. This is a non-riding workshop so bringing your motorcycle is not necessary.

The Doc Wong Riding Clinics are now in it's 18 year with now over 40,000 riders having attended!  Is that cool or what?  Anyway welcome to this new clinic, I hope you find it helpful.

Yours in great health, great riding and great fun!

Hi, I’m really really excited to do this first ever clinic for new riders!

I and special guest speaker, Erica Worthington will be putting on this special evening talk! Erica has been volunteering her time to help new riders and since my wife started riding 3 years ago, I have a LOT more insight on what would help a new rider.

In the last 24 years there have been thousands of new riders that have come to my various classes, clinics and rides but never have I gone thru the growing pains of getting a new rider up to speed, until now. My wife started riding 3 years ago and boy did I get some enlightening viewpoints. It really opened my eyes to what new riders go through.

So I’m pleased to announce this first time ever clinic for new riders. Here are some of the topics that we’ll cover:

-What is the best approach to learning to ride safely?
-What type of bike would be best to learn on?
-Physically moving the bike around.
-What gear should I have?
-How to keep warm.
-How to stay cool.
-How should I store or park my bike?
-What is the one, most important, riding technique?
-Where should I go riding?
-What if I get scared while riding?
-What to do for your faceshield fogging up?
-What type of sunglasses should I avoid?
-That and many more topics will be discussed.

Doc Wong Basic Suspension Workshop Part 1, Sept 28, Thurs Night!




Hi,

You're invited the next Basic Suspension Part One Workshop!

I'm hyper-excited, this workshop will demystify and really enhance your knowledge of suspension setup. It is geared for those of you who are neophytes in suspension to those of you who want to know more about how set up your bike properly!

One month there was even a guy that flew from Colorado to attend the workshop and flew back the next morning!

What: Basic Suspension Part One
When: Thursday, September 28, 2017, 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm
Where: Doc Wong's Full Motion Chiropractic Office
          Carlmont Village Shopping Center
          1021 Alameda De Las Pulgas
          Belmont, CA 94002
Cost: $0.00
How to sign up:  just e-mail me at: docwong@aol.com



About the topic, "Basic Suspension Setup": Worksheets have been made up with pertinent data that will be very simple and understandable. I will even have basic terminology defined so that you will know the terms and how they apply to making your bike feel good, bad, bumpy, springy, etc. The workshop will give you a very good understanding of how a suspension works and what you need to do to your bike to improve it's handling characteristics.



Workshop format:  

1.  Basic terms with demonstrations on a sport bike. I'll go over each term one by one and demonstrate them so that you will see them in action.

2.  Adjustments and how they effect the handling of your motorcycle and how you can do them on your bike.

3.  Poor handling characteristics due to "mis-adjustments" and how they can be remedied.

The workshop will be kept simple enough to ensure that when you leave, you'll have a very good understanding of how a suspension works and an idea of how to adjust your own bike. You'll have handouts and worksheets to make notes on too!

Due to the content of the materials presented, parental guidance is suggested as your enhanced understanding of how your suspension works and its subsequent demystification may bring about wide grins!

We do have to limit the number of riders to 40, due to the fact that we want everyone to see how the adjustments are made on the motorcycle.  

Want to use your bike as the demo bike for the evening? E-mail me with the specifics of your bike:  Make, model, year and if it has adjustable front and back preload.

Cost:  $0.00

This workshop is designed to help you make the necessary adjustments to your riding positons and to your bike to optimize your personal efficiency and comfort of riding your motorcycle in all conditions.

To achieve this, I'll be covering different riding styles or positions
on different bikes in differing conditions along with what needs to be changed to ergonomically fit your bike to you. Also, I'll cover the most common neck, back and wrist problems I see and what you can do to ride comfortably.

Riding Positions will include optimal positions for street, sport,
torquing, racing and dirt or dual sport riding. Which positions
produce optimum performance and which get riders into trouble along with which causes the most pain and what to do about it.



I'll demonstrate on a couple of very different bikes, a sport bike and an upright dual sport bike. That way I can demonstrate the range of riding positions and the range of ergonomic adjustments you can do to your bike. Find out how certain riding styles and poor bike setup can be hazardous and how to solve them. The end result is you being more comfortable on your bike with less fatigue and having more fun!





The ergonomics part of this workshop will cover how to adjust your bike to your body and style of riding. The ergonomics of different bike types and body types will be addressed and participants will have a working knowledge of what do do with their bikes adjustments.Optimize your bike for your riding style. Adjusting levers, foot controls, handlebar bar placements

I'll also cover exercises and stretches for you neck, back and wrists.

After the talk and demonstrations, etc., we'll go outside where you'll get on your bike and I'll coach you on body position and make suggestions on the ergonomics of your motorcycle.

If one of the volunteer ride leaders talks to you, it's meant to be constructive criticism and should be taken that way. After all, the purpose of the Clinics is to improve your skills.

We try to ride at a moderate pace, and we hold the speed down on the straights to allow slower riders to catch up. We stop at any intersection where we're turning off to another road and we don'tcontinue until everyone has arrived.

We'll try to make rest stops long enough so that the slower riders will get a rest, too.

Ride Route: http://tinyurl.com/6gs5yu

From Dr. Wong's office up to Woodside Road, up Kings Mountain Road, down Tunitas Creek Road and a short stop at the San Gregorio Road. Continue on Stage Road to the town of Pescadero to Cloverdale, Gazos Creek Road to Hwy 1. Then down Hwy 1 to Davenport for lunch. After lunch, it's south on Highway 1 to Bonny Doone Road, right on Smith Grade to Empire Grade, down Jamison Creek Road to Boulder Creek, then up Hwy 9 to the corner of Hwy 9 and Skyline at the rest stop for a final meeting. After our meeting and bull session, the group breaks up and everyone is on their own. Hope you can find your way home from there!

Doc Wong Braking Confidence & Skills Workshop! Thursday, Oct 19, 6:30PM




Hi,

I'm sure you're aware how to brake effectively is as important a skill as all of the other skills necessary for smooth, confident and safe riding.  I'm finding that a lot of riders can improve their skills in how and when to apply the brakes.  There is definitely a safety issue with the incorrect use of the brakes.  This causes either increased braking distances and at worst locking up the brakes prematurely, sliding out or crashing.



It's one of those skills that a lot of riders don't think of until the SHTF.  In this very unique clinic I'll be covering key points and techniques that every rider should know such as:  

Emergency Braking, Threshold Braking and Locking up the Front tire (how not to)
Braking at the limits of traction: How best to avoid crashing
Braking and Corner Entry Speed: How to Smoothly and Effectively Transition from one to the other
Critical Dos and Don'ts regarding Braking
Braking While In a Turn
Trail-braking
What Brake To Use: Front vas Rear brakes
Engine Braking
All About ABS
Braking and Downshifting
Downhill Braking



Improving riding confidence comes with knowing, applying and practicing the basic skills of riding.  With improved knowledge and skill anyone can become a smoother and safer rider.  I hope to present this vital topic to you in a way that truly improves your understanding and ability to apply this while riding and braking. This is a non-riding workshop so bringing your motorcycle is not necessary.

The Doc Wong Riding Clinics are now in it's 21st year with now over 41,000 riders having attended!  Is that cool or what?  Anyway welcome to this new clinic, I hope you find it helpful.

Yours in great health, great riding and great fun!

This workshop is designed to help you make the necessary adjustments to your riding positons and to your bike to optimize your personal efficiency and comfort of riding your motorcycle in all conditions.

To achieve this, I'll be covering different riding styles or positions
on different bikes in differing conditions along with what needs to be changed to ergonomically fit your bike to you. Also, I'll cover the most common neck, back and wrist problems I see and what you can do to ride comfortably.

Riding Positions will include optimal positions for street, sport,
torquing, racing and dirt or dual sport riding. Which positions
produce optimum performance and which get riders into trouble along with which causes the most pain and what to do about it.



I'll demonstrate on a couple of very different bikes, a sport bike and an upright dual sport bike. That way I can demonstrate the range of riding positions and the range of ergonomic adjustments you can do to your bike. Find out how certain riding styles and poor bike setup can be hazardous and how to solve them. The end result is you being more comfortable on your bike with less fatigue and having more fun!





The ergonomics part of this workshop will cover how to adjust your bike to your body and style of riding. The ergonomics of different bike types and body types will be addressed and participants will have a working knowledge of what do do with their bikes adjustments.Optimize your bike for your riding style. Adjusting levers, foot controls, handlebar bar placements

I'll also cover exercises and stretches for you neck, back and wrists.

After the talk and demonstrations, etc., we'll go outside where you'll get on your bike and I'll coach you on body position and make suggestions on the ergonomics of your motorcycle.


Ride street, ride track, ride dirt, trials.....ride.....well!

The following description was provided by Michael Nelson nelson@seahunt.imat.com

Dr. Harry Wong, a prominent Belmont chiropractor and extremely knowledgeable sport rider, is holding a monthly series of MotorcycleRiding Clinics. These seminars are FREE, and consist of a one hour lecture followed by a three hour group ride in the beautiful Santa Cruz mountains.

The Doc Wong Riding Clinics are now in it's 15th year!

PURPOSE: Enhance your riding skills, increase your enjoyment, and learn better riding survival reflexes.

TYPE OF MOTORCYCLE: If it has 2 wheels and a motor, you're invited.

SKILL LEVEL REQUIRED: The bottom line is that if you can safely negotiate the mountainous roads off Skyline Blvd, then you do have the minimum skills for the ride.  Since these are not fast sport rides, any reasonably competent rider should be able to participate. We recommend that you be comfortable with your bike and knowledgeable about your(and your bike's) limitations and capabilities. If you have been riding for at least six months you've probably got the minimum level ofexpertise required. 

EQUIPMENT REQUIRED: A motorcycle in good mechanical condition, helmet,gloves, heavy jacket (leather or heavy material), heavy pants, boots...in other words, sensible riding attire. If you show up in shorts, tanktop, Oakley blades and flipflops on your feet, you _may_be invited to go home. You must also have a valid motorcycle license and insurance. Full leathers are encouraged but not required. You are responsible for your own safety.

WORKSHOP FORMAT: (Each month is a different riding skills topic)

1. Meet at Doc Wong's Chiropractic oiffice in Carlmont Shopping Center at 9 AM. After signing wavers, Doc Wong gives an hour lecture on the day's riding topic. He'll also go over Riding Within Your Abilities, Group Riding, and Road Manners. You'll be asked to fill out an optional survey for riding feedback and health issues. Then we will be split up into small groups with ride leader volunteers to lead you thru the hills.



2. The Ride: You can ride at a slower pace, you don't need to feel like you have to keep up with the riders in front of you.

We'll have volunteer ride leaders leading you on the route thru the hills. Those riders will be designated to you prior to beginning theride. As volunteer riders, they are often very willing to help you inany way they can. So feel free to ask them questions on riding, the route, etc. 

It's important to approach this whole thing with the right attitude.

If one of the volunteer ride leaders talks to you, it's meant to be constructive criticism and should be taken that way. After all, the purpose of the Clinics is to improve your skills.

This workshop is designed to help you make the necessary adjustments to your riding positons and to your bike to optimize your personal efficiency and comfort of riding your motorcycle in all conditions.

To achieve this, I'll be covering different riding styles or positions
on different bikes in differing conditions along with what needs to be changed to ergonomically fit your bike to you. Also, I'll cover the most common neck, back and wrist problems I see and what you can do to ride comfortably.

Riding Positions will include optimal positions for street, sport,
torquing, racing and dirt or dual sport riding. Which positions
produce optimum performance and which get riders into trouble along with which causes the most pain and what to do about it.



I'll demonstrate on a couple of very different bikes, a sport bike and an upright dual sport bike. That way I can demonstrate the range of riding positions and the range of ergonomic adjustments you can do to your bike. Find out how certain riding styles and poor bike setup can be hazardous and how to solve them. The end result is you being more comfortable on your bike with less fatigue and having more fun!





The ergonomics part of this workshop will cover how to adjust your bike to your body and style of riding. The ergonomics of different bike types and body types will be addressed and participants will have a working knowledge of what do do with their bikes adjustments.Optimize your bike for your riding style. Adjusting levers, foot controls, handlebar bar placements

I'll also cover exercises and stretches for you neck, back and wrists.

After the talk and demonstrations, etc., we'll go outside where you'll get on your bike and I'll coach you on body position and make suggestions on the ergonomics of your motorcycle.

Doc Wong Basic Suspension Workshop-Part 2, Nov 17, Fri night!



Topic: Basic Suspension Workshop -  Part 2

Place: Full Motion Chiropractic http://tinyurl.com/6vp36k3
          Carlmont Shopping Center (Next to Baskin Robbins Ice Cream)
          1021 Alameda De Las Pulgas
          Belmont, CA 94002

Time: Friday night, November 17, 2017 from 6:30 PM-8:30 PM

Cost: the cost has doubled  ;-)   ( $0 * 2 = $0 )

How to sign up:  e-mail me at:  docwong@aol.com



Hi,

You're invited to the next:  Basic Suspension Workshop - Part 2

Here's the only catch:  It's limited to 35 riders because we will be taking apart and examining the internals of a set of forks.  Yes, you'll see the innards of the thing and see how it works to gain a deeper understanding of how suspension works.  Those who attended the last Basic Suspension Workshop (Level 1) will get first priority.  

One month there was even a guy that flew from Colorado to attend the workshop and flew back the next morning!

The Suspension Seminar Part 2, should be extraordinarily interesting tonight, I will go through the normal presentation portion of the program and will vary from the previous format by adding a lab where I'll be setting up a folding card table to perform a complete "piece by piece" dissection process on a full front fork assembly, and a rear shock assembly, while the students observe.  We'll be identifying the function of each individual item, as it's removed.  Should be a very educational experience, and rare opportunity for the riders in attendance.  I'm excited about implementing this new "twist" on the suspension training program!

I'm very pleased with the materials that I've put together so far, as I believe they will be quite effective at directly addressing the questions and issues that most motorcyclists have regarding the 'black magic' of setting up their compression and rebound adjustments, as well as other related aspects of suspension tuning.

Having attended Suspension Seminar Part 1 is not a prerequisite for coming to Part 2.

You'll also get a working knowledge of how compression and rebound works on a bike by actually adjusting the suspension.



"The format for The "PART 2" seminar looks like this:
******************************************************
1. Spring "Preload": "Setting proper "SAG", a quick review"
2. Compression & Rebound : "Solving the mystery"
3. Dissembling a set of forks and examining it's internals
4. Advanced suspension tuning: "Going beyond the factory": Wheelbase, Fork tube height. Fork oil level/viscosity
5. Troubleshooting common bike handling complaints (student contribution)
