DIRECTOR'S REPORT
As I prepared to write my article for this month’s HOGWASH, I was having a hard time coming up with a topic. However, all I had to do was get on my Harley and go for a ride and a story began to unfold. Terri and I had a trip planned with a couple of our friends, Ted and Terry Davis. (They were one of the couples who went on the Charleston trip). The trip plan was to head to the Outer Banks, N.C. then across Virginia, then down the Blue Ridge Parkway. So we took off Tuesday afternoon and of course got rained on before we ever got out of Atlanta. But the weather cleared and we made it to the Outer Banks and almost across Virginia before what was left of Tropical Storm Cindy caught us. We made it to Martinsville, VA where I have always had good service at the Hampton Inn. We pulled in just a few minutes after the bottom fell out. We were already pretty wet.
It just so happened that this particular Hampton Inn had just recently been purchased by Daily Seven Hotels and the Vice President of the company Mr. Larry Turner was on site checking things out. By now it was really pouring down and our friend Ted asked the desk clerk where the closest beer store. Larry Turner did not want Ted to go back out in the wind and rain. So he told Ted to get in his car and he would take him to the beer store. Did I mention Mr. Turner was the Vice President of this company and there was a nasty storm taking place. Off to the beer store they went. During the trip, Larry told Ted it wouldn’t have mattered if he was there or not. He would have expected any of his employees to have helped out. Little did Larry know what lengths his employees would go to in providing exceptional quality service. Justin Briggs, the desk clerk, was working to arrange two adjoining rooms for us. Tamara Johnson, General Manager was calling a local restaurant to arrange for them to deliver us some dinner. This restaurant does not generally deliver but Tamara explained about us being on bikes and made the delivery possible. By the way she also offered us her car just in case the delivery wasn’t possible.
About this time Terri V. realized she had left her debit card laying on the counter at a Texaco service station back at the last town where we had stopped to put on our rain gear. Ted and I prepared to get back on our bikes and head back hoping to find the debit card. By now the weather was getting really nasty. The town we were to head back to (Danville) is where the tornado warnings were. They were getting the brunt of the storm with high winds and several inches of rain. We couldn’t get a phone number for the Texaco so Ted and I were going back. Tamara (GM) did not want us to go back out in that weather on the bikes so she volunteered to drive Terri and I back to Danville. We got back to the Texaco and although the power was out from the storm the employee was still there. As soon as Terri walked through the door he held up her card. What a relief! We finally made it back to the Hampton Inn and our food was delivered
shortly thereafter. The next day we checked and we needed some oil in our bikes. I called H-D of Atlanta and talked to Connie and Glen in the service department who were very helpful in making sure I knew which oil had been used in our bikes at the last service. Since there was no Harley dealer nearby, Glen told us what to use until we could get to a dealer. A few minutes later we met a guy who goes by the name PT Cruiser. He directed us to Big Bird’s Big Twins, a local
bike shop that carries Harley stuff. We got the oil we needed at Big Bird’s and headed for the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Parkway is always a good ride but it seemed even better the day after a good cleansing rain.
This may seem like just a story about our motorcycle trip. But it is much more than that. It’s a story like many of you have experienced. Good riding, and good and honest people who go out of their way to make the experience so enjoyable. Many of these are people who don’t even ride but
just want to help.
Thanks to the employees of the Hampton Inn, PT Cruiser and Ricky “Big Bird” Holcomb from Martinsville, Va. and an honest man whose name I didn’t even get at the Texaco in Brosville, VA. You all made for a great trip. Thank You!
Riding a Harley is good, being a HOG member is better. Meeting good people … well it just doesn’t get any better than that!
Ride for Fun.

Volunteers
H.O.G. is an organization that is for and about riders and riding. As good as that sounds no event or activity we set out to do will happen without volunteers.
Why do people volunteer?
Their friends volunteer.
They want to meet people.
They want to contribute.
They want to be part of something.
They want to have fun.
They care about the cause or organization.
Our officers are volunteers. Our road captains are volunteers. Volunteers orchestrate our meetings. Volunteers accomplish our efforts for SHARE House and MDA. Sometimes we need a cook. We may need help setting up or dismantling something. Sometimes we need someone to sort items for SHARE House. Sometimes we need help with the newsletter. The list goes on.
I would like to challenge each member to consider what he or she has done to lend a hand toward the growth and well being of the Atlanta Chapter, H.O.G.
Thanks.

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 chapter 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 Chapter event. Remember it’s the people that make the difference. Just ask the kids at SHARE House about Atlanta Chapter.
Ride Safe and Ride Often

WEB MASTER'S REPORT
Atlanta Chapter 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 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 on Yahoo!
Atlanta Chapter 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.

Final Call for Jack Daniels
The end of August marks the “drop dead” date for pre selling enough bottles of Jack Daniels in order for our chapter to make the single barrel purchase. At this time if we do not go ahead with the purchase, monies will be refunded to those who have had their orders in.
If you desire to order a bottle or several bottles, please make a check payable to Atlanta Chapter H.O.G. in the amount of $43.00 per bottle and get that to Rene’. There is no limit on the number of bottles you can order.
To those of you who have supported this project since the beginning you may recall that we originally wanted to get this done by about the end of April, so your patience has been greatly appreciated.

One pig - steady cruising rides of relatively short distance, easy on the throttle, few curves, etc.
Two pigs - a bit longer or have some curves but nothing too challenging.
Three pigs - the ride should be of moderate difficulty.
Four and five pigs - rides with a high number of curves, long distance, saddle time, road conditions, speed, and weather.

ROAD TRIP
Good Ole Boy’s Ride
On August 21, I will be leading a ride to Good Ole Boy’s in Auburn AL. It’s going to be around four hours and 130 miles to the restaurant. I plan on having at least one rest/gas stop. This is a 3-pig ride and will be mostly back roads, but no interstates. We will meet at 9:00 a.m. and leave at 9:30 a.m.. Hope to see you all there. It is going to be a great ride. The food is always good at a reasonable price.

ROAD TRIP RECAP
Father’s Day Ride Recap
It was not as sunny as the weathermen had predicted but for the most part it was dry. The ride went great with 12 bikes and 15 people. It was shorter than I usually like but I wanted to make sure we didn’t have to wait long to get in. We arrived at the Frontier Restaurant about 15 minutes before they opened. There was only one couple in front of us. After hanging out in the parking lot
long enough to stretch and get acquainted with some new friends. We were seated in the back of the restaurant where they have a great looking 57 Chevy on display (its worth the trip just to see the car). Our waitress was more than happy to wait on us, actually she was “giddy.” She was a bundle of nerves the whole time we were there. Even with an overly excited waitress, we got great service and the food was great. I want to thank everyone for coming out for the ride. It is always great when people enjoy a ride I put together.

Troy's BBQ Highlights
It turned out to be a beautiful sunny day for my virgin lead ride (Thanks Terri). We had a nice group of bikes and some great roads to play on (Thanks Terri and Chris). We did our two-hour trip (should have been 2.75 hours) of back roads and our first stop was at Troy's BBQ in Rome, GA. The food was good. Then onto Streets of Chrome USA (New little Harley shop in Rome). Then most of us returned via Hwy. 101. It was a nice day for a ride. Lets say, I learned a lot:
1. Don't go 65 in a 25-mph zone(oops, sorry!)
2. Don't try to turn left onto 92 from old Main St. in Hiram on a Saturday morning (very hairy, especially with multiple bikes).
3. Always do the pre ride. (Pheeeeeeew)
4. Maybe we need a higher PIG system. (Some suggested mine was a 16 pigs, oh please!) Kidding!
Thanks to all that came out to ride, we (me and my nephew) had a very nice ride with ya'll.

Made in America II Ride Re-Cap
Our ride to the Corvette Assembly Plant and the Louisville Slugger Factory was a great trip with the exception of the heat and our venture from Bowling Green to Louisville.
We had 21 folks make the trip on our ride Thursday afternoon to Nashville. It was both refreshing and relaxing. Big John brought the group from Atlanta to Resaca where I took the lead across GA 136. We made our way on US 41 up to just below Murfreesboro where we took the interstate into town to our hotel. In the process, we went over the mountain near Monteagle, TN and it was like air conditioning through that area making for a very refreshing ride. The country scenery along US 41 N was also very nice. Most folks got settled and headed right out to dinner and a few even took in some of the local honky-tonks before calling it a night.
Friday AM: we headed out at eight sharp and arrived at the Corvette Museum around 9:15 or so. Most folks spent an hour or so and then headed back down the freeway to get lunch and make a dealer visit. My friends Hal and Pat from Hiawassee left a little sooner than that and when we arrived at the dealer for the 12:30 p.m. departure for the Corvette assembly plant tour, Pat was
talking in serious terms with one salesman about the gorgeous blue and white Softail Deluxe sitting on the floor. We told them we had to go and so all went to the Corvette plant for the tour which was excellent. Here are a few facts about Corvette manufacture: 60 ‘Vettes are made per day, and it takes about three days, including 10 hours for paint to dry, to make a single unit. The Cadillac XLR is also made here and about 12 per day are produced. This is the sole Corvette plant in the nation (St. Louis was closed in 1981), and it works only one shift per day. There is no job rotation per se done here---what you hire in to do, you do until a job vacancy becomes available, usually through a retirement, and then you must bid on the job, per the Union agreement, if you want it. The production line stops three times per day, once for lunch and
twice for breaks; all cars are not only Dyno tested, but also receive a 30-mile road test.
Following our tour, Hal informed me that he and Pat would catch us that night in Louisville because Pat had decided to go back to the dealership and close the deal on the Deluxe. Now that I think is a chapter ride first---someone trading in their bike while on the road! The rest of us headed out to Louisville for what would turn out to be “the afternoon from hell.”
About 20 miles up the road, traffic came to a halt and we crept along for almost an hour turning off our bikes several times in the process for what turned out to be a bogus lane closure. The sign said the left lane was closed ahead and traffic began merging right only to never see the lane closed once things opened back up. I had thought about getting off the interstate at that point and taking back roads but things opened up and I thought that in order to make it to the ball game on time we best stay on I-65, so we continued on. About 30 miles or so further on we came to a halt again, this time creeping along for over an hour. Now I am beginning to see visions of Captain Bligh, hands tied behind his back sitting in the dingy behind the larger ship mutinously taken over by his crew! It was during this time the group became separated on the shoulder and a cell call to Chris Robey revealed that Big John was having trouble with the console ignition switch on his bike. Finally they get him started again and they rejoin us further up on the shoulder where we shut the bikes off again. Upon our restart this time though, Big John’s switch shot a small blue flame and a wisp of smoke into the air and that was that for starting his bike. Keep in mind now it is only 95 or so ambient air temperature and probably 115 to 120 sitting on these about to overheat bikes on the griddle called I-65. We tried to laugh although I suspect everyone was not looking forward to more roadside time. As Big John called Roadside Assistance, Scott Vandiver decided to investigate the problem and by the time John had barely spoken his policy number to Roadside, Scott already had the instrument cluster with speedometer unplugged and in John’s saddlebag. He found the burned contact and immediately set out, with the help of Skeeter’s recently purchased tool kit (which happened to contain some gauge of wire and
electrical tape), to fashion a jumper which he inserted into the switch connector, bypassing the switch and Voila! We had starting capability restored. So John is now riding his bike with all sorts of wires exposed on top of the gas tank and at this point we decided it appropriate to rename his bike from “The Flounder” to “The Terminator.” We also decided we would take a chance and take 20 bikes up the shoulder to the next exit to get off the freeway (there’s a misnomer) and in doing so went by the scene of a two-truck accident which was the cause of our extended afternoon tanning session on I-65. The police were too busy with that to worry about us, but I had a good medical excuse story waiting just in case! Finally, we are on our way again via back roads and we arrive in Louisville around 8:30 P.M., too late for the game but still in plenty of time to suck down a few cold ones which along with some fried shrimp seemed to help melt away the tensions of the afternoon. Later, full and exhausted we all fall into our rooms and into probably the best beds in any hotel I’ve ever stayed in. By the way, Hal and Pat made it to
Louisville about two hours ahead of us! Ah, the wonder of an Ultra with CB radio. The truckers told him where to get off and where he could get back on and he bypassed most of the mess.
Our tour of the bat factory was also very interesting. I think the smallness of the factory surprised everyone. It is the only “Louisville Slugger” plant, so all those bats are turned out from just one plant. Each major league player goes through about 60 to 120 bats per season and they can choose from more than 1000 different types. Metal patterns are used for most to insure consistency but a few players actually like their bats “hand turned” by a Master craftsman, which takes about 30 minutes as opposed to 30 seconds if the CNC automatic lathe does them. Additionally bats are made for minor league teams and sporting goods stores. Slugger factoid:
Metal bats are used by college teams for two reasons: economics and mostly because they are much more “forgiving” like today’s high-tech golf clubs. We were told they actually have to send college players drafted into the pro’s off to school to relearn batting with a wooden bat due
to the difference in the forgiveness of wood vs. metal.
Following the bat factory tour, we went back to Nashville first in two groups and then there was a third. Big John and Sonya along with a couple of others skipped the Slugger tour to get him to the dealer to get his bike fixed and they left about an hour ahead of the rest of us. Our group made it as far as Glasgow, KY where Jay Sims had a tire going flat, so he and two others hung
back at the local Honda dealer where he got road worthy again in an hour or so. By 8:00 P.M. all of us were again in Nashville, hot, tired and ready for food and drink.
Sunday we came home in two groups going in opposite directions, with Pat aboard her new bike. Jay, who had awakened to find his rear tire low again stayed with us and had planned to stop in Murfreesboro at the dealer, hopefully for final resolution. However several interim checks of his rear tire along the way revealed that the tire had healed itself and was holding up OK, so we went
on via the back roads we came up on. The day was cloudy and very cool which was much needed break from the last two-day broiler we had endured. All made it home fine and I think despite everything that happened, everyone had a very good time.

Dale Moorefield Memorial Ride Recap
We had a great turnout for the Ninth Annual Dale Moorefield Memorial Ride on July 4. The count of motorcycles varied but a count of more than 200 seemed to be the norm. A “BIG THANKS” to Allan Farmer for setting up and leading the ride for another great job “Well Done!” A special thanks to McDonough Police that helped us get out of town and to Henry and Newton County Deputies and others that escorted us all the way to Bostwick. Don’t forget the wonderful people of Bostwick for making us welcome. It was a great ride and great food. I’m sure Dale appreciated the thought and love from everyone. Dale was a special person, loved his motorcycle, riding with his friends and eating. This was one of Dale’s favorite rides.
