MEMBER BENEFIT CHANGE
NEW RIDER'S REWARDS PROGRAM
Ronnie Godwin, General Manager Harley-Davidson of Atlanta
I want to take a moment to let you all know that in 2006 Harley-Davidson of Atlanta is launching a Rider's Rewards Program. This program is designed to reward those customers who are most deserving. Consequently, customers who do more business with Harley-Davidson of Atlanta will reap more benefits as a result of the program.
In the past, many have only joined the Atlanta Chapter merely to receive a discount anytime and every time they made a purchase at the dealership. To many, the Chapter is known only as a discount club. This has removed the true purpose and meaning behind what H.O.G. chapters are really about. Harley-Davidson Motor Company and the National Chapter both discourage
dealers from having an across the board discount for H.O.G. members for this very reason. In keeping with the factory and National Chapters recommendations, we are amending our store’s discount and rewards programs.
The Rider's Rewards Program will be available to our entire customer base, including our Chapter members. The Rider Rewards Program will be included FREE OF CHARGE as a part of active chapter membership. For non-chapter members there will be a cost to be a member of the Rider Rewards Program. Non-chapter members will have to acquire their Loyalty card for $9.95 annually or $39.95 for a lifetime membership.
The program is a way for Harley-Davidson of Atlanta customers to earn credit toward future purchases. Each time you make a purchase in MotorClothes, Parts and Accessories and the Service department you will earn a percentage back of every dollar spent. Moreover, points will be earned on qualifying merchandise only. Chapter members will also receive points for their participation in Chapter or dealership sanctioned events and functions (e.g., chapter meetings,
chapter rides, socials, volunteer time, etc.).
The Rider's Rewards Program will begin in January 2006. We are looking forward to implementing this new program. We are confident you will find this Rider's Reward program to be rewarding to you.
DIRECTOR'S REPORT
Sometimes when I prepare to write a monthly article, it’s difficult to think of something to talk
about. But then all I had to do was go for a ride and things just started happening to write about.
First off I’ll start with the Service Department here at HDA. It seems that more often than not
when I hear about the Service Department most comments are of a negative or disgruntled
nature, even when what is being complained about is totally out of the employee’s control. Like a
part not being in or something like that. So I want to take this opportunity to tell you about not
only our Service Department but also one at another dealership.
A couple of weeks ago Terri and I were preparing to take a trip up to Pennsylvania to Gettysburg
and then ride back down Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway. Top to bottom. On Sunday
evening suddenly my bike started making an awful noise in the engine. Monday morning we
were all loaded up with T-BAGS ready to go. I knew that the dealership was closed but that some
employees did work on Monday. So not being to far away I decided to stop by and see if a
mechanic was working who could diagnose my bikes sound noise and tell me whether I was safe
to go on my trip or not. When I arrived, I met Niki at the service desk and told him about my
problem. Niki, David, Travis, and Jason all were working on bikes trying to get caught up. They
stopped what they were working on and listened to my bike. Their collective response! No, you
can’t ride this bike out of town. You’ve got serious problems. Long story short, knowing I was
trying to leave town on a trip Travis stopped what he was working on and went to work on my
bike with David assisting when needed. It took a few hours to put in new cams, push rods, lifters,
etc…but they soon had us on our way. My bike had more than 65,000 miles of hard riding on the
original parts.
Thanks to the Service Department for all your help. On a day when they were closed, but
working trying to get caught up they took the time to get me back on the road.
The other dealership I want to mention is Shenandoah Harley-Davidson. While on, the Blue
Ridge Parkway Terri’s bike began making a noise in the rear brake/wheel area. We rode to the
dealership and I spoke with Jim Moore at the service counter. Once I explained the problem he
called for a mechanic announcing that he had a traveler who needed help. Larry Rodzinka came
out, looked the bike over and took it for a ride. Larry worked on the bike for about an hour. He
advised us that he did some lubricating and cleaning and the sound went away. He showed me
that the rotor was good as well as the brakes shoes and assured us that we were safe to continue
our trip. Fortunately he did not have to replace any parts. As I was waiting to pay my bill for the
labor, Jim Sprouse (Service Manager) walked up to tell us that there would be no charge. They
all wished us well on our journey and waved as we rode away.
So if you’re ever in the Shenandoah Valley area and you should because it’s beautiful up there.
Then stop in at the dealership. Not only are their people first rate but the dealership has a great
story to it and is a small museum of motorcycle history.
These are examples of two excellent Service Departments and their employees who took the time
to take good care of Harley riders and get them on their way.
Thank you both once again!

ASSISTANT DIRECTOR'S REPORT
The Georgia State Rally 2006
The 2006 Rally Started on Thursday, September 9. The Ride from Atlanta HD started out cool
and dry like the weatherman predicted. That lasted about 30 minutes. The light rain started about
the time we hit I-75. As we rolled into the Flying J to meet the other group the rain was steady.
We all donned full rain gear while cursing the weather forecasters. A steady light rain continued
until our lunch stop at Pizza Hut. We filled our bellies and our gas tanks and headed south again
in the rain now a little heavier. Just before we got into Hazlehurst the bottom fell out and it
rained hard as we tried to find a safe place to stop. Chris got lucky and pulled into a gas station
that had a large awning covering the front of the store. While we were waiting it rained even
harder and flooded the streets. Water was running over the curbs and trucks were throwing walls
of water off their tires as they passed. After about 45 minutes the rain let up a bit so we headed
out again. Not far down the road we hit it again and stopped for gas. I was pleasantly surprised
when I turned into the gas station I went through a low area and water flowed up over the
floorboards but Harley rode through it with no problems. I really thought someone would have
engine problems with all the water on the bikes. All the Harley’s ran well. It finally stopped
raining about 50 miles from Jekyll but remained cloudy the rest of the day. Just outside of Jekyll
we saw a sign “Super Soaker”. How appropriate! We never dreamed we’d be “swimming” down
Hwy. 341. That night at the welcome event we partied in the remnants of the rain.
Friday brought a break in the weather. Several of us took the guided ride to the Okefenokee
Swamp. This was a nice ride through the South Georgia countryside. The Swamp Park was full
of Alligators and other wildlife including otters, turtles and two black bears. This ride was very
popular with about 100 participants. That afternoon we watched the Fort Lauderdale drill team
perform. The evening events started with a parade around the island with around 200 bikes.
Friday evening’s dinner was a chance to try some of the local restaurants. We settled on
Blackbeard’s at the beach. The food was excellent and service was quick. Friday evening’s
entertainment was from the band Rockasaurus. They played a variety of music styles. We all had
a good time dancing and socializing.
Saturday morning the sun was shining. Corolla and I went on another guided ride to St. Mary’s
and the Submarine Museum. After lunch on the waterfront we took a leisurely ride to the Harley
dealership so Corolla could get a much needed face shield. She didn’t want to ride home in more
rain without one. Saturday evening started with the Low Country Boil. The food was delicious. It
was so good in fact they ran out of food. Seriously! The caterers must have planned for a group
of little old church ladies instead of 1000 hungry bikers. Lesson learned! Never be late to a biker
dinner. The party Saturday evening was moved inside due to weather. That did not dampen the
spirits at all. The same band played for the final party of the rally.
The 2006 Georgia Rally was one of the best ones I have been to. There were enough activities to
keep everyone interested. The variety of rides and other non-riding events made for a fun filled
weekend. The ride home was a very pleasant ride north through the Georgia countryside. The
ride was also dry and we got to see the country we missed on the way to the rally. Hopefully I’ll
see you at the 2007 Georgia State Rally.

HEAD ROAD CAPTAIN'S REPORT
August's Road Captain of the month is Terri Varnum. Thanks for all the time you GIVE
to the Chapter.
When I joined the chapter our calendar boasted several rides as well as Chapter Socials
throughout the month so people could get together between meetings. These seem to have gone
by the way side. I would like to start these again for those who would like to socialize more than
just at the meetings and rides. On October 5th. I would like those in the Carrollton area to join
me at the Sonic Drive Inn at 419 Bankhead Hwy. Carrollton, Ga. We will meet at 7:30 p.m. Just
look for me. I’ll be there looking for you.
Gary Langmaid will be having a social at the Sonic Drive Inn 580 Thornton Rd. Lithia Springs,
GA (near the dealership). It will be at 7:00 p.m. on October 5.
If you would like to have a Social in your area let me know. It would be cool to have the Atlanta
Chapter popping up all over town.

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 post messages and upload pictures. You will have to register to sign on. 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.
Chris Robey will keep the calendar up to date, so there is no need to miss an important event date. If you have concerns about the status of a ride, PLEASE, call the Road Captain listed for the ride.
This does not replace our HOGWASH Web Page,
www.atlantahog.com or the HOGWASH Newsletter, just another e-service of the Atlanta Chapter.

Group Riding Basics
Riding with a group of motorcyclists can be a great experience, but it also requires a different set
of skills, including ride planning and preparation, formations, hand signals, dealing with road
hazards and more.
To help educate riders about unique challenges and strategies for safe group riding, Harley-Davidson rider’s Edge (www.ridersedge.com) teamed up with the Motorcycle Safety Foundation
(MSF) to develop the Guide to Group Riding–a self-study video seminar that details how to
organize and ride in groups. Here are just some of the highlights of this detailed and highly-informative package.
Riders’ Meeting
Successful group rides include a short meeting prior to hitting the road. Here the ride leader and
sweep rider (last rider) are identified along with pre-determined hand signals, while
maps/directions are distributed along with fuel, meal and rest stops.
Formation
Ride in a staggered formation. It requires less space than a single file line, is easier for other
motorists to see and is less likely to separated by other traffic. Plus it allows adequate space
cushion on all sides.
In staggered formation, the leader in the rides in the lift third of the lane, while then next rider
stays at least one second behind in the right third of the lane, with the rest of the group following
the same pattern. Larger groups should divide into smaller groups of five to seven riders.
Intersections
When making turns at protected intersections, the group should turn single-file or in a tight,
staggered formation.
In unprotected intersections with no turn signal, go in single-file with each rider acting as an
individual. Turning safely is the chief concern, since the group can reform after everyone has
safely negotiated the intersection.
Passing
On freeways or the interstate your group can pass slower traffic as a unit as signaled by the lead
rider. On a two-lane highway the group should pass one at a time.
Roadside Emergencies
If a member of your group needs assistance the riders following should all stop, including the
sweep rider. The riders ahead of the incident should continue to the next scheduled stop area.
Harley-Davidson Enthusiast Article
By LESLIE MILLER, Associated Press Writer
WASHINGTON - Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger's near-fatal crash on a
motorcycle this year reflected a troubling trend: More bikers are getting killed on the road.
Roethlisberger's June 12 accident was one of three within two days that the National
Transportation Safety Board looked into. The accidents, which killed seven people, were the first
the safety board ever investigated.
"This trend is very troubling," said NTSB member Debbie Hersman, who chaired a two-day
forum on motorcycle safety that began Tuesday. "The number of fatalities is outpacing the
increase in ridership."
Late-blooming motorheads are part of the problem. The average rider is older now, and the
average age of riders killed is also on the rise.
In the last 10 years, there has been a 230 percent increase in fatalities among motorcycle riders
who've reached their 40th birthday, according to Umesh Shankar of the National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration.
Fatalities are also on the rise for seniors on hogs, according to Shankar.
As riders get older, motorcycles get bigger. The number of 50-plus riders killed in a crash
involving a bike with a 1,001-1,500 cc engine rose 540 percent in the past decade, Shankar said.
Alcohol continues to kill motorcycle riders. Of those who died in a solo crash in 2004, 41 percent
had a blood alcohol concentration above the legal limit of .08, Hersman said.
Ted Miller, a safety economist with the Pacific Institute for Research and Evaluation, blames the
rise in motorcycle deaths on plummeting helmet use.
At one time almost every state required all motorcycle riders to wear helmets, according to the
Insurance Institute for Highway Safety. Now, only 20 states and the District of Columbia require
riders to wear protective helmets, according to the institute, which is funded by the insurance
industry.
Pennsylvania repealed its mandatory law in 2003, which is why Roethlisberger, 24, wasn't
wearing a helmet when he crashed on Second Avenue in Pittsburgh.
James "Doc" Reichenbach, a bearded and tattooed biker who lives in Silver Springs, Fla., said
better statistics are needed to show whether or not helmets protect riders.
He said helmet laws infringe on his rights. "I did three tours in Vietnam," he said. "I have a right
to decide for myself whether I wear one or not."
Motorcyclists are often the victims of drivers who don't see them. Roethlisberger came close to
death in such an accident. He rammed into a 1996 Chrysler New Yorker that failed to yield when
making a left turn.
Research is needed into ways to improve the visibility of motorcyclists, as well as the
effectiveness of protective gear, the NTSB was told
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
ROAD TRIP
Asheville, NC Overnighter
This will be a three-day trip to view the fall leaf color. We have a few options once we get up
there: the Biltmore Estate; the laid-back friendly city activities of Asheville; the Blue Ridge
Parkway; and/or the options put forth for a Saturday-sanctioned ride -Linville Falls, Linville
Caverns, Grandfather Mountain, or Mount Mitchell.
I decided to upgrade the trip to a 5-pig rating due to the distance and some minor twisties along
the way. As I indicated in last months HOGWASH, it’s really an easy ride. The pace will be
dialed in at ‘Grandpa’ so we can enjoy the scenery and have fun.
Hopefully, most of you are on the Yahoo e-mailings and received the one BK sent about motels
last month. This will be a high tourist weekend, so when I did the pre-ride, I spoke with
approximately 60 hotel/motel properties, and found the following facts as of August 21, 50%
were already full; 25% had no group rates available during October; and 20% had group rates but
only about 10% cheaper at $110-$300.
It was suggested by one hotelier that some motels 30-40 miles south might have availability. I
rode that area and sure enough a few at 30 miles out still had rooms and at much more reasonable
prices - $55-$85.
Several of us have reserved in the ASH airport area and south to Hendersonville.
I proffer these ponderings only because I feel it would be prudent to know where you are staying
before we leave town.
On Friday, October 13, the sit-down rendezvous point is the pavilion at 8:05 a.m. and we will
depart at 8:25 a.m.
Do you enjoy the sound of rushing water, the smell of autumn, the sight of bears, deer,
woodchucks, swooping hawks, mountain views galore, and good food?
Join us as we ride through the NC forests and see nature at its best.
Andy Andresen, Road Captain
Signal Mountain III
As I stand next to my easy chair after returning from the Georgia HOG Rally 2006 in Jekyll
Island, I am thankful for the very kind words many of you made about my past rides. So...I'm
BAAAAACK! in the Saddle again! I'm BAAAAACK! (Any Aerosmith fans!)
It's time for the 3rd Annual Signal Mountain, TN ride SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 2006. This
year we will add some new twisties and keep some of the past favorites. We will make our way
quickly to Suck Creek and approach Signal Mountain from the west. We can watch Noel eat frog
legs, go past My Favorite Martian's home, and step out to see Edward's Point. Then we will
traverse down the mountain's eastern slope through Falling Waters...yes, the switchbacks from
last year's ride. For those of you wanting to do the "W,” I can show you the way and you can
rejoin the group.
After completing Signal, we head north and then west and approach Monteagle, TN. YES, this
will be the OVERNIGHTER you have requested!
We will spend the evening on top of Monteagle. Here we’ll dine at a chef-owned restaurant,
CELEBRATE my birthday and ride more on Sunday morning.
Sunday, we will visit the "Peace Monument” at Sewanee College, travel west and south through
TN and northern AL and into western GA. We will be coming into Dallas, GA shortly after
lunch.
For those needing to head south for home, on SATURDAY, we can say our good-byes and you
could be home for dinner.
COME JOIN US FOR A GREAT FALL RIDE! GUARANTEED TO BE NIFTY AS I TURN
FIFTY!
I am working on the details for meals and hotels. So e-mail me at (steve.magel@shawinc.com). I
want to see how many e-mail responses I receive to determine the number of rooms for my
negotiations. I have two places in mind.
P.S. Bring/wear leathers and winter gloves...it is generally 10 degrees cooler in the mountains
during the day and could be in the 40's at night.
Love to Ride, Ride to Love!
Steve Magel, Road Captain
ROAD TRIP RECAP
Good Ol’ Boys Recap
We headed out from the dealership with 12 bikes and 12 people. We stopped in Roopville to pick
up two more. The sky was clear and the weather was warm, well hot may be a better way to
describe it. The ride went well. Everyone seemed to have a great time. When we arrived at Good
Ol’ Boys they were ready and waiting for us. The food was great and everyone had a great time.
It was a great ride and the day was perfect except for the monsoon I rode through the last 3 miles
to my house. That's a story for another day.
