1 HOG Newsletter Chapter 4052 By William Cox Welcome to the 2018 Redstone HOG Chapter

2 I would like to welcome everyone to the Redstone HOG Chapter. I am very excited about this upcoming year with all of the great rides and events that we have planned. A note from the Director Jeff Wemple. Welcome to Redstone H.O.G. What is H.O.G and what can it do for me? H.O.G is the National Harleys Owners Group. To participate in the great events, rides and experiences it begins with an introduction to HOG. This introduction might come from someone at national HOG but more than likely it will come from one of you. Often times a new member will get introduced to the chapter after a Harley-Davidson motorcycle purchase. This introduction to HOG is extremely important as it can lead to life changing experiences (life changing in a good way). Think about all of the great rides and adventures you have had because of your connection to HOG. I know some of the best memories, friendships, and laughter, have are because of the HOG family. When asked How does our chapter welcome new members to HOG? First, the new buyer is given the chance to complete the enrollment/waiver form and invited to attend a meeting; you are greeted by officers and members as you make your way to the sign in table. Then as not to embarrass anyone, during the 2

3 membership officers update all new members are asked to stand and introduces them, say what they ride and something about themselves. Whoa! A meeting with strangers combined with public speaking; that is most people s greatest fear. I certainly understand that there are many chapter members that enjoy the monthly get together but that is largely to hang out with the great chapter brothers and sisters. They have been friends with for a long time. For new members this format can be a bit overwhelming; not to mention they bought their bike to ride, and riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles is what H.O.G. is all about! We have many great ride captains that know where the best rides in the area are and for all riding skills! We are bringing back new rider orientation which is no more than a small group of riders not sure about riding in large group on a simple ride, while the larger group take a different skill level ride, all meeting up at the same place for lunch and fellowship. If you can ride in during the week or want to plan a ride, please take those new members for a ride. That initial interaction is absolutely critical to obtaining and retaining new members. Let s keep it all about the RIDE! See you on the road! Be safe! Jeff Wemple Chapter Director 3

4 The Chaplains corner by Ray Worley. Matt. 12:28-34 A scribe asked Jesus which is the first commandment of all and Jesus answered thou shall love the Lord thy God with all your heart soul, mind, and strength. The second is to love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater then these. This kind of love only comes from God. Romans 13:8 Tells us to no man anything to love one another. 1 st Corinthians Tells us to let everything we do to be with love. 1 st Corinthians 13:13 tells us now abideth faith, hope, love these three but the greatest is love may everything you say and do be motivated by this kind of love. I Would like everyone to know I am available anytime if you need someone to talk to and if you or a loved one is in the hospital please feel free to call me anytime my number is (256) Thank you Ray Worley Chapter Chaplin. From Danny Light Safety Officer from Motorcycle.com Top Ten Motorcycle Safety Tips 1. Make eye contact Never assume others see you. Always try to make eye contact with drivers who may be about to pull into your path. 2. Read vehicle language Even when drivers, cyclists and pedestrians do see you approaching, they often misjudge your distance and speed. Don t rely on them. 4

5 3. Watch out for left-turning vehicles at intersections Getting hit by an oncoming vehicle that s turning left is the most common type of motorcycle crash. 4. Check behind when turning left from a highway Watch your mirrors and make sure you have plenty of space behind. The drivers behind might not slow down for you. 5. Look out for hazardous road conditions Wet roads, fluid spills, sand, gravel, highway sealant, railroad tracks, potholes and other road-surface hazards reduce your traction. They cause many falls. 6. Take it easy on the curves Many crashes happen there. You might overshoot the road or cross the centre line and get hit by oncoming traffic. Watch the road ahead, slow down and choose the correct lane position-before entering a curve.. 7. Wear a good helmet Helmets prevent head injuries in 67 per cent of crashes and deaths in 29 per cent. Make sure your helmet has a sticker showing that it meets current safety standards. Avoid buying a used helmet. It may have been in a crash, and the damage may not be obvious. 8. Wear protective clothing designed for motorcycle riders It can provide some protection during a crash, as well as shield you from the weather and flying debris. Keeping warm and dry will help you stay alert and maintain coordination. Wear your riding gear in layers so you can adjust to changing conditions. Jeans give little protection. Never ride in lightweight pants or shorts. 9. Protect your eyes and face 5

6 Constant wind can make your eyes water, preventing you from spotting hazards. Flying insects, dust and debris can hurt your eyes and face. The best protection is a full-face helmet with a built-in face shield. 10. Be visible Wear bright, reflective clothing. Add extra reflective material to it or wear a reflective vest. Likewise, buy a bright-coloured helmet and stick reflective tape to the back and sides. Always keep your headlight on. Ride in the lane position where other drivers can easily see you and you ve got room to move. Avoid all other vehicles blind spots.
