MAY/JUNE  Newsletter

 

 

Letter from the Director:

 

            It was a dark and dreary night and all the little bike riders were fast asleep, waiting for a nice sunny day to hop on their HOGS and RIDE.  And ride they did, all the way to the wienie roast.  Can you believe all the bikes on that ride? (22)

Thanks to everyone for the support that you have shown the road captains.

Not only on that ride, but all the rides this year.

            I want to welcome all the new members and old members who found their way back:  Doug-Rhonda-William-Greg F-Greg T-Andy-David-Mindy-Dan-Kalanda-John-Charley-Al-Keith and I hope I didn’t miss anyone.

            The swap meet is on for June 16, 17 and plans are going strong with our power committee at the helm – Mario-Lexie-Kevin.  Watch for the poster to come out because Mario posed for the picture on his bike.

            Please continue to make as many rides as you can, mainly because I like seeing your smiling faces and there’s a better chance that I won’t be the ugliest in the group!

            Ride and Have Fun!

            Terry

  WESTERN SLOPE CHAPTER

HARLEY OWNERS GROUP

 

GENERAL MEETING MINUTES

 

 

 

President Terry Edwards called the meeting to order at 7:15.

Membership Officer Ike Isakson introduced our new members: Kalanda Morgan, friend of Bev Allen, with her softtail deluxe, and Greg and Eve Freeman with their softtail heritage. Ike added that our membership is pushing 80 members! Yea!

 

Secretary Pam read the minutes and they were approved. It was mentioned that Scott’s sale brochure had arrived, with a model very similar to our own Erik…

 

Mario Zulian, vice-director, mentioned that the swap meet will be held at the Harley dealership June 16-17.  Mario mentioned several rides: Hays, Ks June 8-10; Saints to Sinners ride from Salt Lake to Las Vegas, June 19-22; Wyoming rally in Cheyenne, July 13-16; Sante Fe, Sept 21-23;

One of our favorite 3 day rides, to the Green Cabins at Meeker in mid-July, is again being planned. Call Tim Himes, 241-8570, to get more info.  He’s in charge!

 

Road Captain Neil Webster added that the Rangely Run on May 21st on our calendar will actually include lunch at Rangely, but will ride all the way to Dinosaur National Monument. He reminded riders to be sure to contact the road captain if they plan to leave the group, as it saves the road captain and sweep many gray hairs!

 

Activity Director Amy Dyer said 22 folks showed up at GJ Scores and had a ball, but indoor functions will not be included again until fall. Let’s Ride!

 

Karen Staples has volunteered to be in charge of this year’s toy run. Volunteers needed.

 

Safety Officer Bill Gert spoke of group safety practice: 1).When a rider leaves the group; the group should not crisscross to move up. Only the lane occupied by the departing rider should move up, thus eliminating dangerous weaving. 2). On 2 lane roads, bikes should have formations of 6 bikes, allowing about 1 minutes between groups to allow for car folks.  This also decreases chances of a crash, as the more bikes in a row, the less space to stop in an emergency. 3) Each rider is responsible for his/her own safety, so make your own decisions at turns etc.

 

The meeting was adjourned at 8:10.
