DIRECTOR'S REPORT

No Report!

Ride Safe and Have Fun,

Dan Gardiner
Director,
Atlanta Chapter, H.O.G.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR'S REPORT

Harley "Doers" Group

Sounds a bit strange, right? Especially after hearing Harley Owners Group all these years, but if you looks at the "official" web site of Harley-Davidson and get to the H.O.G. information under the "Experience" tab, it states that "having a Harley-Davidson is about doing, not just owning.

So while one could easily predict that the name of our organization will never be changed to the Harley Doers Group, (and lets face it, who would want it changed?), a philosophy of riding and having fun together, called the R&F factor, is the very reason for our owning the great motorcycles we ride. Even helmet stickers abound that say "$15,000 and 500 miles doesn't make you a biker". This a friendly challenge (usually) to get the bike out of the garage and put some miles on it, hopefully with some friends.

Why do I bring all. this up? Only to encourage those who are letting their steeds sit home in the garage with the seals drying up, to come out and join us for some fun!!! Those of us who do ride often should encourage our more inactive members to rediscover what the Harley experience is all about We, each of us, are the stewards of our right to ride; we are those who carry forward the legacy of Milwaukee Iron. Chapter newsletter features such as Dave Devlin's Canada trip feature in the May issue and magazine articles which describe beautiful destinations to the point they are almost a "virtual ride" only go so far. You still can't feel the wind in your face (or the bugs) or the heat or cold or the rain; you can't smell all the sweet smells of spring, and you sure can't hear the drone of multiple sets of pipes which create the loveliest of all bass sounds, that "American Thunder" which sets us apart from other "motorcyclists". This is what Willie G. means when he talks about "the passions". The passion of Harley owners (the doers or active ones) is what sets us apart from other motorcyclists or hobbyists of any sort.

So, I am hopeful that those who read this who may not have ridden in a while will feel an overwhelming temptation to rediscover that feeling of freedom and fun. If you are an active rider, then this article will not tell you anything new you don't already feel or know; OK, great, but why not share your enthusiasm with someone who might be new to Harley ownership, or with someone who somehow may have gotten too busy with other things to remember? Sometimes all folks need to "get back into if' is an invitation from someone like yourself. Be that steward of "The Legend" and invite an owner to become a "doer".

L.O.H. Sponsored MDA Porker Run, Saturday, July 29, 2000

Come on out and show your support for the Muscular Dystrophy Association, Saturday, July 29th. We are planning a great ride which will be less than 100 total miles. The ride will end at Taco Macs on Dallas Hwy (120) and Barrett Pkwy. where there will be lots of prizes and give-a-ways in addition to the $100, Harley-Davidson of Atlanta Gift Certificate, for best poker hand.

We will start the run at Harley-Davidson of Atlanta. The first bike out will be between 9:30 and 10:00 am. We will also be selling tickets for a 50/50 drawing to be done at Taco Macs, so be sure to buy a few!

SAFETY OFFICER'S REPORT

Are Your Tires Properly Inflated?

All reports are good and improving for Past Director, Jim Durham. I believe, Rene' is going to survive too. Our prayers are still with you and we hope for a full and speedy recovery.

Summer is here! The Alabama State Rally and the Macon Braves Ride sure were fun and Hot!

While at the Talladega Speedway, our group got an extra tour around the gas pumps. I won't call any names but our leaders initials were J.C. (his wife Judy calls him Joe).

As the temperature climes so does the heat from the road and the tires. Be sure to keep those tires at correct air pressure. A low tire will get much hotter that one with proper air pressure. I don't want any of you to have a blow out while two wheeling at about 70 miles per hour. This brings up our 'safety note' for July. This time of year always be on the lookout for "Road Alligators". (blown rubber tire carcasses from 18 wheelers, always, in the lane at which, you are currently driving). This relates back to proper air pressure. Most "Road Alligators" are due to under inflated truck tires. If you see one of these deadly creatures or other obstacles in the road, immediately slow down and look for a safe route around it. Be sure to look at the safe route around the object and not at the object itself. Your mind, body, and bike will follow where you look. This being so, if you look at the object, you will drive to it and if it is a "Road Alligator" that would be bad. When you are riding without a group and it is safe to do so I would encourage you to practice this. Remember, your bike will follow your eyes. Since we are having a lot of group rides I want to refresh your memory. When group riding remember the group is only as safe as you are.

"Ride your Harley 'safely' and you will ride your Harley 'longer'".

Atlanta Chapter, H.O.G.

Activities Officer's Report

DIXIE SPEEDWAY RIDE

Activities Officer update Renaissance Festival

On Saturday May, 27^th, we had 6 bikes and 9 rides on the Renaissance Festival Ride. The ride was not to long and the weather in the morning was overcast but warm. By 10:30, we were at the festival and the temperature was climbing and getting hotter by the hour. Most of us were headed for home and air conditioning by 12:00.

Ride Attendance and H.O.G. Meeting Attendance Contest

Don't forget about these two contests. There is still about 5 months left until we know who the winners will be, but you can't win if you don't ride and come to the meetings. So, come on out to the meetings, come on the rides and have fun.

Lunch Ride To LaGrange, GA Saturday, July 15, 2000

Since we had to cancel out the river rafting trip down the Ocoee because no one signed up (guess I should not have mentioned the strenuous paddling after all) and rather than leave a hole in our ride calendar for the summer, we will do a substitute ride.

We will have a lunch ride down to LaGrange, GA to eat at Charlie Joseph's. According to a website I found entitled "eathere.com", they say Charlie Joseph's has really good hot dogs and burgers. It is a small place, but should be able to handle our group OK. The route we'll take will be GA 166 to GA 5 and south on GA 219...those who went on the Run to the Border ride will remember some of this. Join us for a fun ride and a good lunch!!

Day/Date: Saturday, July 15th.
Meeting Time/Place: 10:30 AM, H-D of Atlanta.
Route Coverage/Safety Briefing: 10:30-1 1:00 AM.
Departure Time: TIME: 11:00 AM --- arrive gassed up and ready to go

Been There Done That

Macon Braves Ride, A Winner!

The Macon Braves ride was a lot of fun. We had a dozen bikes and 24 folks in all, 22 of whom patiently waited at the nearly shadeless Atlanta Motor Speedway for the ride leaders to show up a "fashionably" 30 minutes late.

Tommye and I hit a snag coming out of Hampton with a wrecker totally blocking Highway 20, so we had to back up and take 81 over to 19/41. We were off by 3:45 and had a very warm, scenic ride into Macon. We were all checked into to our hotel by 5:00 and by 5:30 we headed over to Hooter's to meet up with the Macon Chapter who were there waiting for us. After only a half hour or so of socializing, it was off to the game, as the Braves PR folks recommended we get there no later than 6:15 PM. It was Blues Brothers Night and the boys really put on a great show, singing and dancing their favorites, along with lots of mingling with the crowd. Arriving in their police cruiser with the massive speakers mounted to the top, they sang and danced, posed for pictures, signed shirts & hats, and at one point took a tray from one of the concession workers and tossed bags of chips to the crowd...saying later it was all a joke and those folks really had to pay for the chips drew a good laugh from the crowd.

The ball game itself was good for about 4 innings and then the opposition really broke it open, as the Braves pitching staff looked like they were throwing batting practice. We left in the bottom of the 8th inning and it was 11 to 2. On the way out, Elwood Blues was most happy to pose with our Chapter folks in front of his cruiser, and mentioned that the next time we are down and they are scheduled, they would like a motorcycle escort to the game. One of our guys said we could definitely handle that for them.

Once back to the hotel, we had drinks and conversation in the lobby until after midnight, with Dan an Joe closing up shop. The next morning about half of the group headed back to Atlanta around 8:45 AM and the remainder of us went to Cracker Barrel to chow down before taking our route home.

There should be some good photos on our Chapter Bulletin Board at H-D Atlanta, so check it out. To those who could not make the ride, you missed a great time with a great bunch of folks...catch this annual ride next year!!
