DIRECTOR'S REPORT
There has been a lot going on the past few weeks and it has given me cause to think of how fortunate we are to live in this country and to be able to ride our Harleys. Think about it this way. In the most recent Hog Tales magazine there is an article that tells the story of Del Hofer. Del bought his first Harley in 1950 at the age of 16. Then he went on to buy a Harley dealership a few years later. I met Del at Primary Officers Training. He is a truly inspirational man. People like Dal are the reason we have Harleys today. Remember he was just 16 years old. Then there is the story of Max Kight, who at the age of 103, was asked what he wanted to do for his birthday. He said he always wanted to ride a Harley. The Mile High Chapter fulfilled that wish for him. So it doesn’t really matter at what age you decided you wanted to ride a Harley, young or not so young, you’ve made your dream come true. So whether you’ve owned one or owned many motorcycles these days, you ride the best.
I say we are fortunate to be able to ride today because remember there are those who are not so fortunate. I think we take some things in life for granted like riding a Harley. One day life rides right along and then all of a sudden something happens to change all that. We’ve had a few in our Chapter who have been injured while riding and are now on the road to recovery. Two of the
Motor Officers for the Cobb County Police Motor Squad were hit by autos while on patrol and they are recovering. What about the victims of Hurricane Katrina? Thousands of people whose lives have been turned upside down. When will those who rode be able to ride a Harley again? More importantly when will they get some of their lives back to normal? They need a place to live, clothing, food, all of the necessities of life. This includes Harley Dealerships and HOG
Chapters as well as their family’s work. We as a Chapter will be joining with our Dealership to assist some families from those Dealerships and Chapters. Look for more information on this endeavor.
Not to be forgotten with all the recent media attention on Hurricane Katrina today is 9/11. We remember that four years ago terrorists changed the lives of many in the world. From those who were just going about their daily lives to those who went into the danger to try and save lives only to have theirs taken away.
There are many things in life that are out of our control. So when I say we are fortunate to ride, I believe it. Take a moment to think of all those who have suffered through these many tragedies. Then get out and ride whenever you can. Feel that wind in your face and hear that Harley rumble. Some of the best riding weather is approaching with the coming of Fall. I can’t wait for some mountain rides to see the colors change.
Yeah we are fortunate, be thankful and enjoy it.
Ride for Fun.
Tom Arnold
Director, Atlanta Chapter
ASSISTANT DIRECTOR'S REPORT
October!
I can't believe that this article is for October. Where has this year gone? I hope that you have had many opportunities to get out and ride. As we move into the fall season, I begin to look forward to the mountain rides and the leaves changing colors. It is definitely my favorite time of year to ride. What's yours? As I talk to members about places that they have been or restaurants that they like to eat, I realize that there are still many places around where I live that I haven't been too yet. My goal is to start exploring some of those places, and other areas of Georgia that I have never been. So, if you have visited some place that you really enjoyed please let me know about it. Also, send me your pictures. Each month I put together a slide show of pictures for the Chapter meeting of rides that members have been on. I would love to add yours.
Thank you.

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.

POTPOURRI
Jack Daniel’s Update
The purchase of the single barrel of Jack Daniel’s whiskey is on! The chapter has decided to go ahead with the buy and I am working through the details with the folks at the distillery presently. The medallions will read “Atlanta Chapter---20th Year” and our “brick” on the Single Barrel Society Wall at the distillery will read “Atlanta Chapter H.O.G., Lithia Springs, GA.” A barrel selection tasting will be held by mid October and our bottles and a barrel should be delivered by about mid December. As soon as a more definite bottling date is set, we will set up a
“distribution Saturday” for all members to receive their bottles.

Pig Ride Legend
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.
MEMBER COMMENT
It’s more than a Motorcycle
Have you ever tried to explain to someone what being part of the “Harley Family” actually means? I must admit, that I didn’t “get-it” either until Sonya and I purchased our Harleys and
joined the Atlanta HOG Chapter. Most people view it as a large group of people who share a common interest in a certain brand of motorcycle, the HARLEY. I certainly won’t argue that point, but there’s a lot more to it than that. That’s when the explaining part gets hard for others to understand.
Sonya and I have set a personal goal to spend our 2-week vacation each year on our bikes. Last year, we spent two weeks out West enjoying the desert scenery and beautiful parks in Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and New Mexico. Spending those two weeks with great friends is something we will always cherish. Before we left the desert last year, we started thinking about where we would spend our 2005 vacation. Sonya put a lot of information together which led to several
planning evenings with Scott and Corolla, Doug and Carole, and two new friends from Texas (introduced to us by Doug and Carole). Our plan was to ship our bikes to Portland, Maine and ride back to Georgia. The 2-week adventure would take us up Maine’s coast to Bar Harbor, across the White Mountains of New Hampshire to the summit of Mount Washington. From there, we were to navigate the Green Mountains of Vermont on our way to experience the beauty of Niagra Falls. The adventure would continue to build as we would make our way through the beautiful countryside of the Amish farmland in Pennsylvania and what trip wouldn’t be complete without a scheduled stop in Hershey, Pennsylvania for some chocolate. Ultimately, we planned to hop on the Shenandoah skyway heading south down the Blue Ridge Parkway, our final artery home. After 10 months of planning and anticipation, we boarded our Delta flight for Portland on July 29.
Our first three days were fantastic! We enjoyed the spectacular coastal scenery of Maine,stopped at one of the numerous roadside “lobster pounds” for a 3 lb. fresh lobster. Experienced a sunrise from the top of Cadillac Mountain in Bar Harbor and enjoyed a lot of laughs each night after a great day of riding. Things were about to change.
We stopped in Killington, VT for lunch. After a deli sandwich and chips, we decided to take a 20-mile detour to visit North America’s longest-covered bridge that Scott had read about. Ironically, after lunch Scott’s bike wouldn’t start. After a few minutes of trying to determine the problem, Scott was able to get his bike running. The group decided to cancel the covered bridge plans and head into Troy, NY for a dealer stop and get Scott’s bike checked. When we pulled into Brunswick-HD, something strange happened. I began to notice a slight loss of vision in my left eye. A dark spot was forming and beginning to obstruct my sight. No pain, just things were going dark. Ironically, Scott’s bike seemed to be working just well now.
I kept it to myself (a guy thing I guess) until we got to our hotel, when I mentioned it to Sonya. She immediately said that it sounded like a detached retina and said that we needed to get to a doctor right away. Again, the guy thing took over and I said, let’s join the group for dinner, and maybe it will go away. (You would think that after 16 years of marriage to a clinical research nurse I would listen.) It went away all right, within in 20 minutes, my vision was totally gone. The cook at our hotel took Sonya and me to the emergency room. The ER doctor quickly confirmed Sonya’s diagnosis and said that I had a tear in my left retina. However, the hospital in Troy didn’t have a sufficient level of expertise in this type of emergency, so an ambulance was called and I was transferred to Albany Medical Center (15 minutes across the Hudson River, NY). I was seen by an Ophthalmology Resident who urgently scheduled me at the Lion’s Eye Institute with a retinal surgeon. At this point, reality set in and it was made clear that this was
going to be the end of our vacation, only three days of our trip, and more than 3000 miles from home. Lying in the hospital bed, my mind begins to race. All I could think about was what needs to be done first? Most important, what about Sonya? I’m pretty much rendered helpless and can’t assist her in any of this. Nobody should have to handle something like this on their own, no
matter how capable they may be. How long will we be in NY? What about our bikes? How will Sonya get them to Atlanta? What about all of the hotel reservations waiting for us? What about Scott and Corolla, Doug and Carole, Dave and Les? I didn’t want to ruin their vacation. Sonya will need a rental car. How can she get to the airport to get a car? What about her motorcycle? How do we get shipping arranged?
I started this article by asking the question, “Have you ever tried to explain to someone what being part of the “Harley Family” actually means? The answer to that question was validated for Sonya and me that night in the ER. I can’t explain in words how supportive and helpful our six vacation friends were. They are definitely more than just friends…they are family. Unconditionally, they put all vacation plans on hold and made us their priority. They assisted Sonya in every detail. They provided the most positive atmosphere imaginable. They prayed for us. They gave me hope.
>Sonya and I spent over a week in Albany, NY, during which I had two pneumopexy procedures (they inject a gas bubble into your eye to stabilize the retinal tears) and an emergency surgery in an attempt to save my vision. After the surgery, they discharged me to head back to Atlanta. Sonya drove us home over the course of a couple days (doctors wouldn’t let me fly due to the gas bubble they placed in my eye). Once home, I had an appointment with the retinal specialists at Emory. The surgery in NY was a success, but for whatever reason, my retina was now showing a new detachment and three additional tears at the bottom. The Emory surgeons admitted me right away for a 2nd emergency surgery. This time, they surgically placed a scleral buckle around the circumference of my eye to take the pressure off of the retina. One week after this surgery, we got some great news that the retina is stabilized and is staying in place. The doctors are optimistic and feel that I should regain all of my peripheral vision and will determine later how much of my ability to see detail will be preserved.
My motivation for writing this article has nothing to do with me or my eyesight. I’ll be fine and have faith that God will have me back in the saddle in no time. I’ve spent a lot of hours reflecting over the past three weeks and came to realize that out of the numerous people I interact
with professionally and personally, my immediate family and my “Harley Family” were unconditionally there for Sonya and me. All of the visitors during my surgery were “Harley Family.” The first people to offer to help was Harley Family. The people who continue to help Sonya during my recovery were Harley Family. I was especially touched when I received the
“Get Well Card” signed by many of our chapter members wishing me well and a speedy recovery. I will forever look for opportunities to return the goodwill to my Harley Family. There’s more to it than a motorcycle.
By the way, Scott and Corolla, Doug and Carole, and Dave and Les were able to continue on their vacation. I’m so happy that they were able to enjoy the rest of the trip. I felt as though Sonya and I were with them every step of the way. They called to check on us every night from the road. I came to look forward to the phone call…and like clock work; I’d close my eyes at night with a smile on my face. THANKS GUYS!

ROAD TRIP RECAP
Southern Highroads Recap
Southern Highroads # 5 was another great trip this year although the weather forced us to lose the third day this year and we all missed the Cheoah Dam Loop and the Cherohala Skyway. Last year we missed Day 2, the Blue Ridge Parkway, but I would have to say this year’s ride was filled with Bits of Good Luck. We had about 21 folks on 18 bikes and some of our riders like Richard and Deb Jackson have been on each and every of the four previous trips.
Steve Magel was kind enough to bring the group up to Blue Ridge for me on Friday which saved me a couple of hundred miles of road. I’ve become all too familiar with I-575. From Blue Ridge we made our way to Hiawassee, GA where we waited out a nasty thunderstorm going on in North Carolina which was our destination for that night. After about 20 minutes or so we headed on thinking we had missed the rain but we had to stop about 6 miles up the road to don our rain gear. It was here that Steve’s bike began misbehaving. It did not want to start. Steve had just put a new battery in the day before but it was just about shot; however, we pushed him off and got going again. Bit of Luck # 1. Nine miles later, about a mile or so before we got to Ricky Dixon’s farm for a BBQ that Rick wanted to do for our group, Steve again broke down, and as luck would have it right in the driveway of one of Rick’s neighbors who took the bike into his garage and put the battery on a charger. Bit of Luck # 2. At Rick’s, we enjoyed wonderful BBQ’d Boston Butt Roasts with all the trimmings, including fried green tomatoes and summer squash and a lot of good company. We were back underway just before dark and we all made it into Franklin where the Hampton Inn proved to be a great place for the night. At pool side, we all had a few cold ones and had funny stories to share --- Nathan and Skeeter provided lots of laughs. The evening did have a damper on it however as we all learned through Skeeter that Big John who was on his bike trip in New England was having some serious eye trouble that would cut his trip short and land him in the hospital, both in New York and at home some several days later.
Early next morning, Steve decided to try one of the local bike shops rather than try to make it to the dealer (Gene Lummus) some 75 miles away. One phone call was all he needed--the shop had a voltage regulator and a stator as well as the necessary primary gaskets and said they would get him on a lift as soon as he got there, so they felt whatever the problem was, even the worst case was covered. He was over there and back in about 50 minutes and missed no riding
whatsoever as we had to wait until 10:30 for the fog to lift before we could get underway. Turned out to be a bad voltage regulator. Bit of Luck # 3. We then enjoyed a scenic ride along US 64 into Highlands replete with all the waterfalls that make this stretch of road so special, and made our way into Brevard. Along the way, a light sprinkle rapidly turned into a downpour while we were getting out our rain gear, but we had come to a spot which featured a building with a large porch, so we all managed to stay dry while putting on the rain gear. Bit of Luck # 4. After a gas stop in the near end of Brevard, NC we made our way to the far end and Hawg Wild BBQ. Wow, was it good--just as I remembered it. This is the place that burned down a couple of years back but nothing in the recipes has changed and the hush puppies were like dessert! I tried an East/West plate as I could not decide between the sweeter BBQ and the more vinegar-based style. While we ate, which took about an hour, I fretted over what to do about the Blue Ridge Parkway as the weather was not too good and it looked like the only way to our next destination was back the way we came. Bit of Luck # 5---in that hour, the weather became gorgeously clear and we took off over the Parkway and arrived at the Nantahala Village Inn in fine fashion by early evening.
Here our luck ran out. Dinner in a private dining room was nothing less than a disaster. Orders got screwed up, it took forever, and we all got our choice of two of three sides---baked potato, sweet potato or rice. Not a good thing for those trying to “low carb it.” Dr. Atkins would have flipped out! But since many of us had visited the store across the street, the consumption of a few adult beverages made it all seem sort of funny anyway. Everyone saved a glass of whatever and we toasted Big John at dinner. We missed you this year Big John and we’re all pulling for you to be back in the saddle real soon!
Then, as usual we took over the front porch for story telling and some background harmonica music from “Harps” Jackson. Harps had a special tune for me based on last year’s ride which he had taken the time to learn. Thanks again Harps, I appreciate it!
We awoke to a steady rain and a group vote after breakfast saw us take the most direct route home. Everyone was soaked within an hour’s ride despite wearing rain gear and we began breaking up into smaller groups in Blairsville, where we all had warm drinks before continuing on. All in all, we had a good time and I was thankful that in spite of losing a day, that the two days we had been blessed with good weather and safe riding for all.
