DIRECTOR'S REPORT
2004 Closed - 2005 Opened
Well, we have closed the door on 2004 and started out with 2005. I hope you were able to start
the New Year with a motorcycle ride! If not, there will be many more rides to choose from.
What did you accomplish in 2004? What do you wish you had? What rides did you make?
Which ones did you miss? Is there anything the Chapter or the Chapter Officers / Road Captains
can do to help you achieve your goals?
There will be a lot of rides, activities and changes taking place this year. For those of you that did
not receive a January HOGWASH I will recap some of the important items:
First off, if you show up at the meeting hungry you will still be hungry. There will no longer be a
meal provided. (See Terri Varnum’s article in this issue) We will start the meeting off with The
Pledge of Allegiance and then a Moment of Silence. This is not intended to be a time of prayer, it
is to be what you make of it. If you choose to pray - then pray - if you want to reflect on the past
week or next week, then use this time for that. If you just want to take a deep breath and clear
your mind and think about riding, then that’s okay too. All we ask is that you be courteous to the
other members and remain silent. We are trying to shorten our meeting time so that we can spend
more time riding. Gather a group of people and ride to eat after the meeting. Remember to invite
someone new to go along (hey, maybe they’ll buy). We will no longer have all of the Road
Captains presenting their rides. The rides will be printed in the HOGWASH and shown on a
Power Point presentation. If you see a ride you are interested in and have questions, talk to that
Road Captain about the ride.
Can you believe the weather that we have had lately? Hopefully you have been able to get out
and do some riding. But as we know it can’t last forever. As I sit here writing this article the
weather is about to change to a more normal weather pattern, highs in the 40’s, lows in the teens. Or some of you could just plug in that heated stuff. The rest will just have to tough it out, or miss
out.
Whatever it is you plan to do this year, I hope you take the steps to “Git R Done”. Otherwise it will be January 2006 in a couple of weeks (at least the year seems to go by that fast) and you will be saying “I wish I had done this” or “I wish I had done that”.
I hope to see you at the meetings and on the road.
Until then, Ride Safe and Have Fun.

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Live to Ride - Ride to Eat
It seems that the issue of the Chapter not providing meals at the meetings has become a sore spot
for some members. While it has been nice to have had these meals, we need to understand that the
dealership NOT the Chapter had been paying for them. We are changing the format of our
meetings so that we can get you information quickly then afterwards we can "Ride to Eat". We
are going to ask different Ride Captains that live in various directions to lead groups after
meetings to restaurants. This will be easier to do once the time changes and warmer weather
comes our way but it will also give you an opportunity to choose which restaurant you might
want to eat at and in which direction you want to ride.

SAFETY OFFICER'S REPORT
Dress for Success
With the colder months upon us I thought it would be a good time to review some good old
fashioned common sense rules of riding. The one I’m talking about in particular is to dress for
success. Everyone who has been riding for a while knows what I mean when I say that being
prepared is the first step in staying safe, particularly when it comes to what we are wearing.
Let’s think for a minute about why this is so important. We know that driving a motorcycle,
especially in metroplex areas, calls for the utmost attention to what is going on around us. Even
in perfect weather conditions this can be hard to accomplish after several miles as the old
“highway hypnosis” sets in. Now let’s add in a little cold. You can’t judge how cold it is by the temperature when you are riding a motorcycle.
You have to judge what the wind chill is for that given temperature. Not the wind chill for the
temperature the weatherman is giving, but the wind chill for that temperature if the wind is at 60
miles an hour. Take a look at the chart—you may be surprised.
So we are a little cold. Big deal. Well we should think about a couple of things that happen to us
when we get cold. For starters we are just flat uncomfortable. Nobody wants to be miserable.
More importantly however several things physically begin to happen to our body. First we lose
feeling and dexterity in our extremities. Our arms, hands, and feet lose the ability to work as fast
as usual. This becomes a big deal if you suddenly need to make an emergency stop or evasive
maneuver. Not only can your body be cold but your mind tends to look for a warm place to be
also. Many people “zone out” quicker in cold weather thus greatly increasing their reaction time in an emergency situation. The worst part about these physical changes we experience is that they involve numbing or a lack of sensation which means we probably don’t realize it until it’s too late. How many times have you gone to apply the brake or clutch after a long cold ride and found your fingers are very stiff?
I have heard many people say that they are okay until their hands and feet get cold, but after that
happens they are just miserable. I am told that this makes perfect common sense. As our body
gets cold the body works harder to warm our core or torso area and tends to worry less about our
extremities. To sum it up, our blood is just not pumping as efficiently as it usually does. If we
reach this point our body is probably telling us to “pull over and warm up dummy, what you’re doing is not good for you.” It’s not exactly safe for the people around you either.
So, from this we can conclude what we already know. If we plan ahead, evaluate the weather,
and dress accordingly, we are much more likely to have a safe and enjoyable ride. Proper planning
for the weather, be it rain, sun, or cold can make all the difference.
Till next time, “dress for success” and chances are you’ll be better prepared to always keep the shiny side up.

MEMBERSHIP OFFICER'S REPORT
Membership does have its rewards:
A big welcome to our new members and a welcome back to the returning members. Our chapter
had a great year in 2004. The officers and road captains did a fabulous job. We had all types of
rides to a wide variety of places, from Savannah and Charleston in the spring then the mountains,
caverns and museums in the summer. Then we found Jack Daniels, Signal Mountain and Toccoa
Gorge in the Fall. When you add in the “chow” rides this chapter had a full calendar of rides. Some of the rides started out as suggestions from our members. So, if you have any more just let
us know.
It is good to reminisce and share those fond memories. However now is the time to plan ahead
and prepare to make new memories. Like the Nissan commercial says “Make better Memories”.
I have owned several 4x4 trucks and a couple of performance cars, and a couple of other
motorcycles. Not one of them has brought as many pleasures, fun and “better memories” as riding and playing as an Atlanta H.O.G. member.
You might ask “Why?” “It is just a machine.” Yes it is just a machine; however, the people riding this machine are not like the rest of them. The people are what make riding a Harley different. They understand what you’re going through when the weather turns bad and you’re 200 miles from home. They really know how badly you feel when you drop your bike. They will help and encourage you, because they want you to have as much fun as they have.
Let’s steal the slogan “Make better Memories”. You know we can do a better job at it than any four-wheel cage driver.
Now I would like to challenge each member to introduce himself/herself to at least two new
people at every Atlanta H.O.G. event. Remember it’s the people that make the difference. Just ask the kids at SHARE House about Atlanta H.O.G.

WEB MASTER'S REPORT
Atlanta Chapter, H.O.G. Web Page
Due to a review of our web page by national H.O.G., I have had to do some changing. I will no longer list chapter members’ birthdays on the web page. They will still be in the HOGWASH and on the web page in the HOGWASH Print as Mailed. I had to move the HOGWASH Archives and the
HOGWASH Print as Mailed to a password-protected page. You will need a userid and password to access these pages. I will print the userid and password in the HOGWASH each month so you will have access to these pages. This is security protection for our members who names and email addresses appear in past and/or current publications. This does not apply to chapter officer/road captains per national H.O.G. This information is for Atlanta Chapter, H.O.G. members ONLY and is not to be disseminated to NON-Chapter Members. These changes only apply to the web site. The HOGWASH publication will remain the same.
Keep Email Address Updated!
If you have updated your e-mail address, PLEASE send me your new address. I get several undeliverable e-mail messages each time I send a message updating members on up coming or changed events. Please, keep you e-mail address up to date and stay informed! E-mail me at hog@mindspring.com. Thanks!!
Atlanta Chapter, H.O.G. on Yahoo!
Atlanta Chapter, H.O.G. has a "Club Address" on Yahoo at the
following URL:
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/atlantachapterhog
Please, check it out! You will be able to chat with other Atlanta Chapter Members. You will have to register to sign on to chat, load pictures and post messages. When you register, please give you "Real Name". That way other members will recognize your name and be able to e-mail you as a member of the Atlanta Chapter and not someone in Kalamazoo. If you have problems, e-mail me and I will try and help.
Gary Langmaid will keep the calendar up to date, so there is no need to miss an important event date. Terri Varnum is now in charge of the Hot Line. If you have concerns about the status of a ride, PLEASE, call 770-908-3435.
This does not replace our HOGWASH Web Page,
www.atlantahog.com or the HOGWASH Newsletter, just
another e-service of the Atlanta Chapter.

TECH TIP
First off, let me correct myself for last month’s tech tip. The softail frame has a ½ inch nut on the top of the jiffy stand, as opposed to the 11/16 nut on the touring models. With this said, onto
other matters.
Many of you have become used to driving your cages, most of which have a fuel gauge. Some
have indicators when fuel is low or even automated voices indicating "fuel low". The wonderful
world of motorcycles has delved into this also. Now I'm a firm believer in knowing how much fuel
I have, but I do not rely on electrical components like a fuel gauge. I grew up with dirt bikes and
have had three different motorcycles without fuel gauges.
Carbureted models come normally with a fuel valve that has on/reserve/off settings. If used
properly, you will not run out of fuel (unless you’re in the middle of nowhere and there are no gas
stations - pay attention to road signs). Fuel injected models DO NOT have a reserve setting,
hence low fuel indicator on the fuel gauge. The time varies, depending on the manufacturer, on
when the low fuel indicator comes on.
The most accurate way to gauge the time to fuel up is by using your odometer to keep track of
your mileage. Average your fuel mileage in town and on the highway and keep up with it. As a
last resort, fill your tank up every 100-110 miles. Unless your engine is highly modified or you
have a heavy wrist, this is pretty accurate on MOST models of motorcycles. If your friends give you grief because you can't go 200+ miles per segment, tell them you'll catch up. Until next time ladies and gentlemen, keep it real (fast).

POTPOURRI
Who was Tommy Tyner?
Tommy Tyner was an employee of Harley-Davidson of Atlanta back when they were on Sylvan
Road. On Saturday, October 7, 1995, Tommy was test riding a customer’s motorcycle that he had serviced. A car crossed the center line and hit him head on. On January 1, 1996 the First Annual
Tommy Tyner Memorial Ride was held.
Harley-Davidson of Atlanta Offers Experienced Rider Course
Clear skies and warmer temperatures have allowed Georgia Motorcycle Safety Program officials
to prepare the dealership’s Rider’s Edge Course range for the more advanced Experienced Rider Course (ERC). After making precise measurements, new lines were carefully painted onto the range on Wednesday, December 29. The new markings, as approved by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation and state regulations, will enable Harley-Davidson of Atlanta to begin offering this challenging one-day course beginning February 5.
“Our new range will allow experienced riders to build on their skills. The ERC will help improve rider safety and build confidence so that more riders can enjoy their motorcycling experience even more,” said Chris Houghton, owner of Harley-Davidson of Atlanta. Mr. Houghton added that
“The ERC will also bring experienced riders into the dealership where they can see the new
motorcycles, protective motor clothes, and how we’ve improved the dealership.”
The ERC is designed for the experienced rider, those who have completed the Basic Rider
Course, or who have been riding for more than a year or two. “This course will help riders
improve their abilities in turning, braking and carrying passengers and cargo. I think it’s exciting
that we’re doing this, especially with the number of riders increasing every year,” said Chris Carr, Program Manager for the dealership’s Academy of Motorcycle Training.”
Carr said that riders wishing to enroll in the course “will need to have an “M” endorsement on their license, provide their own bike with proof of insurance, plus the required gear, including full-fingered gloves, sturdy over-the-ankle boots, long sleeved shirt or jacket, and long pants. Riders will also need to wear a DOT full-faced helmet. If they don’t own one, they can borrow one from the dealership.” The one-day course covers group instruction and riding. The cost of the program will be $100, including all learning materials. The certified, state-recognized
Rider/Coaches will be Chris Carr, Larry Marquit, and Adam Towns. Chris, Larry and Adam have
been teaching the Basic Rider Course since it began here in 2001.
Ronnie Godwin, General Manager of the dealership, was pleased that the ERC is being added to
the dealership’s offerings. “There are lots of veteran riders and HOG members out on the roads who will find great value in this program. We welcome them all and look forward to their
participation.

MEMBER COMMENT
New Year - New Adventures
After too many years of thinking “one day” I finally made up my mind to learn to ride a
motorcycle. With my husband Dan's full support, I enrolled in the Rider's Edge class (Larry and
Adam are the BEST instructors - I still hear their instructions when riding today). I graduated
from the class on November 11, 2004 and on the same day I purchased a brand spanking new '05
Softail Deluxe. It's soooo pretty! About a week later I picked it up and was still such an
inexperienced rider at that point I asked Dan to drive it home because I just wasn't ready. After
weeks of progressive practicing in a church parking lot, then on neighborhood streets and finally
going out on short trips like a 15 year old practicing with the car - I knew I was ready for more. I
had been told that a great benefit of being a Harley-Davidson owner is the ability to be a part of
H.O.G. so I began reading my husband's newsletters. I didn't have the time to take advantage of
what the group had to offer in December so when the January newsletter came I scanned it to see
if there was something I could participate in that was more than 10 miles from home - but not too
far. There was a ride planned to Bruckner's restaurant - a 2 pig. Well, I didn't know the restaurant
or what 2 pigs meant so I emailed Nancy Bjerre (the H.O.G. Activity Officer) and she promptly
answered my questions and warmly invited me to participate.
Upon arrival I quickly learned everyone is extremely friendly, welcoming and willing to help a
rookie. And, to my surprise it was free (and being a girl I like free stuff.) The weather was
beautiful and we had about 42 bikes on the way down! Whoa! I was toward the back (where I
wanted to be) and it was terrific. By the first couple of miles I had the rhythm down and the ride
was gorgeous. At the restaurant I learned that rides are one-way only and that when you reach the
destination that they are “officially” over. However, what I quickly realized is although I thought I was alone for the ride I wasn't really alone at all. Ride leader Tom Arnold and my new friends
Nancy and John Bjerre would make sure that I would ride with them on the way back and that
meant the world to me. A “lessons learned” is to carry a Georgia road map, have a return plan, or ask other riders if you can ride back with them before departure.
Returning home I opened my ride book and made notes about all of the wonderfully nice people I
had met, logged my route, distance, thoughts about the scenic ride and how grateful I was that I
had made the effort to join the group. I'm really looking forward to taking Dan on the exact same
trail the next pretty weekend we have again. I strongly encourage all H.O.G. members to
participate in these wonderful rides. If you are new like me, it's a terrific way to meet new folks,
practice longer rides and have some real pros show you the way. I look forward to meeting you at
the next ride!
All the best.

Hear Less, Ride Further and Arrive Fresh
Say, what?!
A few months back, our Safety Officer Doug Claycomb wrote an article about the importance of
using hearing protection while riding. I don’t remember all the details he might have offered in
that article but I finally decided to take his advice.
After several weeks now of Tommye telling me my favorite word is becoming “Huh?”, I felt maybe that with eight years of riding a Harley behind me along a with continually growing
distance from my 25th birthday, perhaps my hearing is beginning to suffer. And so it was this past December at our chapter social that I decided to order a set of custom ear plugs from the folks
who were there that night.
With the great weather we have had so far this year, I’ve had an early chance to try them out. For sure, my bike sounds different, along with everything else, but the thing I’ve noticed is that by
reducing the noise factor, I am much less fatigued at the end of the day----and amazingly so. I think the biggest reasons are not so much from my own pipes but because I do not use a windshield and in spite of the fact I wear a helmet with a skirt on it I still got tons of noise from wind rushing constantly in my ears. Since I most often am out front, I never worried about noise from my pipes but I can tell you that when I do follow that noise is also greatly reduced, especially in a situation where the person in front is gearing down and re-accelerating such as up here in the North Georgia mountains. So the benefit is that if you lead you reduce wind noise and if you are not leading you reduce all sorts of noises. It is important to remember though that other ambient noises such as passing vehicles is also minimized so be sure to use your eyes more where before you relied on your hearing. And of course when you stop, be sure to take them out as soon as you can, unless you really want to share those great motorcycling moments with everyone within shouting distance!
Think about giving some serious thought to wearing ear protection if you have not already done
so. They need not be custom plugs, but I never had much luck with the Wal Mart foam kind you
roll up and stuff into your ear before they expand, but suffice it to say they are a lot cheaper if you
lose them. Whatever works will be of benefit and I think you’ll be amazed at how less tired you
feel after a long day on the bike. Which means you can ride more and more often, right?

ROAD TRIP RECAP
New Year’s Day Ride Recap
What a beautiful day. The weather forecasters finally got it wrong in our favor. It turned out
mostly sunny as opposed to mostly cloudy. We had 42 bikes to ride down to Buckner’s to put on
the feed bag. We had a total of 64 people for lunch including a few that met us there. We had
several new members who made this their first Chapter ride. I won’t remember everyone, but
welcome to Diana (future Road Captain), Kevin and Kelly (a recent graduate of Riders Edge and
owner of a new Harley) She showed up for her first ride with 400 miles on her bike (see Kelly’s
article in this issue). Welcome to everyone and thanks for coming out. Thanks to Scott
Vandiver, Chris Robey, John Riggs and Terri Varnum for the help in putting on this ride and
making sure that everyone arrived safely.
Hope to see you on this ride again next year.
Tom Arnold, Road Captain
P.S. For those who were there for the pre-ride briefing - yes, I do know my left from my right, I
just get confused sometimes and it does matter which direction you come from. Thanks to about
60 people for keeping me straight.
ROAD TRIP
The Steak House Ride
I will be leading to The Steak House in Rockmart. We will meet at HDA on February 26 at 1:30
p.m. and leave at 2:00 p.m.. It’s a nice easy 2 pig back roads ride that will take around two hours.
The Steak House has a good selection of reasonably priced food. I have a copy of the menu. If
anyone would like a copy e-mail me and I’ll send it to you. Don’t get cabin fever. Warm up the bike and go for a ride. If you would like to participate but not a cold weather rider, you’re always welcome to bring the cage and tag along.

Baseball, Hot Dogs, Apple Pie and Chevrolet---Get Ready to Ride!
Our “Made in America” tour continues with our second trip, featuring a visit to the Corvette Assembly Plant and Museum in Bowling Green, KY and the Louisville Slugger baseball bat
factory in Louisville, KY. Trip dates are from June 23rd through June 26th, which is a Thursday through Sunday and this schedule is mandated by the fact that the Corvette plant is closed on the weekends and the Slugger factory does not do any bat manufacturing on Sunday. That means we must leave during the week, so I am getting this info out to you well in advance for your planning.
The trip schedule is as follows:
Thursday, June 23rd: depart Harley Davidson of Atlanta at 1:00PM and travel to Nashville, TN,
our destination for the night.
Friday, June 24th: kick stands up at 8:00 A.M. as we head to Bowling Green, KY, about 70
miles away to tour the GM Corvette Assembly Plant.
Following the assembly plant tour, we will travel to Louisville, a distance of 160 miles.
Saturday, June 25th: our tour of the baseball bat factory and museum begins at 10:30 and take
about 90 minutes, so we should finish around noon. The museum is located within the factory, so
one admission covers it all at Louisville Slugger.
HOTEL INFORMATION:
TBA in the March HOGWASH.
WHAT: Chevy Corvette Assembly Plant and Museum and Louisville Slugger Factory/Museum.
WHEN: June 23-26, 2005 (Thursday-Sunday)
MEET: Harley-Davidson of Atlanta at 12:15 P.M. Thursday, June 23, 2005
