    Editor’s Note. Arnny Abad

    So if you haven’t figured it out yet, this is the month that you are getting your newsletter in the mail. Proof of that is that you are holding it in your hand at this very moment. You can also look at the color version of it in the web page. Next month you’ll only be able to access the newsletter online. This edition of your latest and greatest has some pretty cool articles by some of our newer members. I like these articles because even though compared to some members I am relatively new with little over a year, (being an officer in the chapter adds years to your membership life, kinda like dog years) reading the newer members take on our

    rides gets me almost as excited to ride as they are and reminds me what this chapter is about. So read on and look at the nice little pictures.

    Next month we are going to do our version of “Where is Waldo?” except that it will be called “Where is Johnny?” Now if I can get our direc-tor to wear that silly red and white striped sweater we’ll be set. Remember the website address is www.hog.lvhd.com

    Cheers,

    Arnny

    but let me tell you how it was handled. Our Road Captains responded quickly, the ambulance and the police were called, the Road Cap-tains attended to the biker and administered first aid until the para-medics arrived. So it’s not important who goes down or why they go down, what is important to know is that as a Chapter we are pre-pared to handle situa-tions like this. Our Road Captains are certified in CPR and first aid. That is why we say “ride your own ride”, as a rider make yourself prepared for the days ride, wear the proper attire, drink plenty of fluids , wear sunscreen ,long sleeve shirts, if it is an over-nighter, check out what

    down the runway and weaving in and out all over the run-way. After leaving the base, we will head to Sunset Sta-tion in Henderson for a concert by rock band Molly Hatchet. Prices for the ride to Nellis are $30.00 per rider, $20.00 for the passenger and the concert cost is $ 15.00 and every penny of the concert money will be donated to our military personnel and their families so PLEASE sign up early and support our troops. Also there will only be a limited number of ride pin for this

    (Continued from page 1)

    event. Then, Sunday at the Henderson Harley-Davidson dealership there will be a Poker Run and bike show with celebrities joining in for a great follow up of Sat-urdays ride. Now on to Chapter busi-ness. We’ve have had some great participation in the last few months, with a breakfast run to Mountain Springs, the dinner ride to Tommy Rockers and a couple of overnighters to name a few. Having just re-turned from an over-night trip to Ely, we had the misfortune of a rider going down on the way to Ely. Now let me tell you, as the Director it was my hope that this would not happen this year or any other year,

    the weather may be for the weekend. You might bring a rain suit or heavier clothes for the trip. We are not the Boy Scouts but be pre-pared. Now, we have some great rides coming up in Septem-ber starting with a 2 night overnighter, first to San Luis Obispo on the 3rd and then on to Calabasas on Sunday the 4th. So my mes-sage for this month is for you to think about riding with this chapter and the friends that you have made because of it. I hope to see you on a ride in the near future and as always Ride Safe and have fun.

    Meet and Greet ride to Mount Charleston Sharon Miller

    Greg and I ride a 1998 Heritage Softtail. We were active in our HOG chapter in Phoenix but since mov-ing to Nevada in January, we have not had the op-portunity to ride. Finally, we are 95% moved in and Greg registered the bike and secured his Nevada license so we were excited to join SNHOG for the Meet and Greet. At first, we were over-whelmed by the size of the turnout. We had been used to much smaller rides. All these good peo-ple out for a morning ride are an indication of a very well run chapter. The or-ganization and thought put into the day’s ride im-pressed us. And, of course, the friendliness that makes us proud to be HOG members was evi-dent. A special thanks to Little Joe for taking us un-der his wing. The ride began with a

    drive by to Doc Carney and his wife. Recently injured in a biking accident, Doc was surprised by his HOG family in a show of sup-port. It seemed like his neighbors enjoyed the sur-prise as much as he did. We were told the SNHOG loves to surprise people. It sounds like just our kind of group! Then it was on to Mt. Charleston. Greg and I were especially excited about this ride because it took us beyond the city limits and out to see more of our new state. We are avid hikers and look for-ward to seeing more of Southern Nevada’s coun-tryside. The ride was a great introduction. Once again, the planning made the trip worry-free and we

    enjoyed the scenery, the company, and quizzing each other on hand sig-nals. Our stop on Mt. Charles-ton was brief but gave us

    a chance to meet many members of our new fam-ily. It will take awhile to learn faces and names but we appreciate all the introduc-

    tions. I am sure the other new members will agree with us that we felt very welcome. We would like to thank the dealership for lunch, and kudos to the staff mem-bers who pitched in and stepped behind the counter to help the Sub-way staff meet the de-mand. Sure, the line was long but what’s a little wait for a free lunch among new friends? We stayed

    for the tattoo contest and remarked to each other that SNHOG was definitely going to be a fun experience for us. We look forward to a long and involved membership. Greg and I live in Hen-derson. We have four sons, David, 19, Stephen, 16, Mat-thew, 15, and Martin, 9. Matthew is count-ing days (and his pen-nies) until he can have his own bike so maybe this time next year he’ll be joining us on rides.

  • August Meeting Minutes. Lynnette Abad

    Johnny opened up the meeting by welcoming all of the new members. He then proceeded to speak about the upcoming Ce-lebrity Ride on September 10th. The money raised for this event will go to the family members of the men and women from Nellis Air Force Base. Af-ter the ride, there will be a party at the Sunset Sta-tion for $15 in which Molly Hatchet will be per-forming. Johnny then proceeded to speak about what it takes to become an Ambassa-dor with the Chapter. An Officer needs to be 50% active in the chapter and a member for at least six months. He welcomed all who are interested to fill out an Officer application. Tom Plehn, our dealer rep, has asked that all children are kept under complete supervision dur-ing the General Member-ship meetings as there have been some incidents in the past. Then Joe Hewitt, our past Secretary, spoke to every-one and has extended his home in Samoa to anyone that wants to visit. He is offering a place to stay and tons of sight seeing. Johnny announced our new webmaster, Larry Lewis. Welcome Larry

    and thanks for taking up the job! Johnny then pro-ceeded to speak about our new schedule for sending out newsletters every other month and it will be on the website every month. We will also increase the amount that will be available at the main dealership on the months that we do not send them out. Johnny also spoke about the Christmas party this year which will be at the Golden Nugget. It will take place on December 10th and the price will be $25 per person. Lene Mogavero then spoke about the Annual Chil-dren’s Run this year in which a committee has been formed. If anyone has any questions regard-ing the Run, please con-tact them. As always, this is a non-alcoholic Chapter. There-fore, drinking is not ac-cepted right before or dur-ing a Chapter ride. If someone chooses to drink, they will not be al-lowed to ride with the group for the remainder of that ride. Also, during this summer heat, please remember to wear lots of sunscreen and drink plenty of water before a ride. This is essential to summer riding in Las Ve-gas. There is always a chase vehicle on each

    ride that will provide plenty of water as well. Lastly, always arrive for rides on time and fully fueled. Lastly, we have been send-ing Chapter correspon-dences via email and it has been quite a success. So, don’t be kept out of the loop and keep your email addresses current with us by sending them to [email protected]. Re-member, the Calendar in your Newsletter is the last word! Also, check out our new Chapter website at www.hog.lvhd.com and fol-low the link.

    chronized group; Joe and I seemed to fit in just fine. I was impressed with how safe I felt and never pushed be-

    yond my limits by having to “try to keep up”. Speed limits were always observed and it all seemed like clock work. What a great way to travel! Plenty of gas and potty breaks (and of course those REALLY GOOD COOKIES at the one stop!) As you can tell… I loved it! And of course “Joey” continues to be “a happy boy” on his new ride! We are looking forward to the next trip!

    Joe and I just got back this afternoon from our first overnighter with the SNHOG chapter. We went to the Grand Canyon; North Rim. We stayed the night in Kanab, Utah. Wow! We had a great time. Can’t wait for the next one! Everyone made us feel really wel-come and riding was wonderful. I was a bit nervous about riding with a large group, especially when I found out we’d come back through Zion and there was rain in the fore-cast. I still don’t feel really com-fortable on some of those curves. However, I was really pleasantly surprised. Everyone rode so well together, it was like a syn-

  • Hello to all and we hope you all have had a great summer of riding and fun. I have talked to some of you and have heard many sto-ries of the great summer rides. The Chapter has also had some great rides and overnighters this summer; we hope you’ve had the opportunity to join in on some of them and started to build memories. This newsletter will arrive just as our summer ends and we start getting ready for the fall, sending kids and grandkids back to school and getting back to week-end trips and rides instead of week or longer rides. A quick note to all new and newer members, we have a New Member Meet and Greet about every other month, we would love to see you at one of these rides. We will introduce you to some of the Chapter’s Officers, instruct you on our hand signals, and introduce you to our riding style. We then take a short ride around the Vegas Valley and usually have lunch af-terwards. During this ride we will at one of the stops introduce ourselves (meet and greet) and have a chance to get to know each of you. The New Member Meet and Greets are not just for New Members we have a large member turn out and a great time getting to know our ever growing family.

    For those of you that are new to riding with us and have not had a chance to attend a Meet and Greet ride, here is a couple of things to know. First all rides are posted on the current calendar with the leave locations and times also posted. The leave time is the leave time, we arrive at least a half hour prior to posted leave time, fully fueled, ready to sign in for the ride and have a chance to mingle. The Road Captains will give a quick over view of the day’s ride, demonstrate our hand signals and advise where we will line up for the ride to start. We will introduce the ride’s Lead, Lead Rear, Scout and Rabbit Road Captains. Please note that once again all leave times posted are leave times and that also means fully fueled and ready to roll. An-other note is that when the group stops for fuel, we recommend that you get fuel! The Road Cap-tains plan the rides and routes to allow for both fuel and rest stops but missing a fueling chance can have you sputtering to the side of the road. Please re-member also that we have at least one Road Captain at the back of the group, we call him

    the Lead Rear Road Captain, he will assign someone to stop with you or stop himself to assist as needed in get-ting you back on the road and or to call for mechanical assistance. The Chapter has some great things coming up this Fall and Winter, we have the September 10-11 weekend events, the Celebrity ride to Nellis, The Desert Thunder Poker Run, ride to Oat-man, Top Gun and 2 Up Top Gun, a few more overnighters and the Holiday Party in Decem-ber, the Hair of the HOG on New Year’s Day and then we will start all over for 2006. Top Gun and 2-Up Top Gun are coming up. We hope you plan to join in, have fun and work on your riding skills with us. We do these events a couple times each year to work together to hone our slow riding skills and in turn help to make us all better rid-ers. We will have people on the course to talk through the events and give you tips to help bet-ter your ride. Come out and join in on this, bring the family have some-thing to eat as we will BBQ and have snacks.

    (Continued from page 7) on the past rides and look forward to having you join us for the up and coming rides yet to come.

    As always Ride Safe and Have Fun

    Mark

    When we started out on Saturday morning, we had no idea what the weekend would bring. Our ride took us north along the Scenic Byway of State Route 93 and through Alamo. After refuel-ing, we were on the road again and heading east through Caliente. We then headed north again and into the old mining town of Pioche. Our gas stop was next to the Courthouse, which many of you will re-member from a previous ride. Then we continued onwards towards Ely. Along the way, we had a mishap and one of the bikes went down. The Road Captains and fellow riders came to the rescue and emergency medical person-nel were summoned. The remainder of the group went ahead a bit and found a place to wait. During that time, those at the scene joined together to help a fallen friend and those who went ahead had time to sit, talk and reflect on how wonderful it is to be part of such a great group.

    Our fallen friend was taken by ambulance to the hospital and the group headed into Ely. After checking into the Historic Nevada Hotel or Jailhouse Hotel, a check was made at the hospital. Word came that was en-couraging but that he would need to spend the night. Back at the hotel, some people got together to take a ride to check out the area, others tried their hand at the table or ma-chines while others walked down to the park to check out the Classic Car show. Later on, those of us who had made reservations to take the Sunset Wine Train ride got together in the lobby and made our way to the depot, either by bike, car, limo or van. There we picked up our tickets and table assign-ments. Dennis spoke with the Engineer to make sure all was okay and the Conductor came out to greet us. After boarding,

    we were on our way. We headed out of the station and towards Steptoe Val-ley. While enjoying the view from the open car, they set out trays of rolls, cold cuts, fruits and vege-tables. The tables were set with linens and wine glasses. We were served a bottle of wine from the Pahrump Valley Wineries and the evening was ours to enjoy. As we traveled, the sun set and we were treated to a beautiful sky. At the end of the route, we stopped so that the engine could be brought around to the other end of the train for the ride home. During this time, the train was “robbed”. There were four of them and they took the Sheriff and the cash box off the train and then made their way through the train. Af-terwards, we were back on the move, heading back to the Depot. We can all appreciate the workers on the train as they are all volunteers who give up their time so that we can have an en-

    joyable evening. As we made our way back, Johnny started to sing to us. We tried our best to join in and now we know why we haven’t had a Karaoke night! Sunday morning we met up again for the ride home. The air was cool and refreshing. By the time we got to Pioche, the coats came off and we were back on the road. The clouds started to move in and we had a bit of rain, hail and lightning. By the time we made Alamo, the sky was clear and the weather was warming up for the ride back to home. So like I said, the week-end brought us some new experiences. We made some new friends, rekin-dled some old friendships and renewed our faith in the Lord who watches over us.

    Really Important Business Directory Update You’ll find the latest copy for 2005 of our Business Directory in your Silver Eagle News envelope. We’d sure like to see more of you who have business or services advertise in the Silver Eagle News. Happens to be the least expensive way known to man to get your business information out to more than 1,000 folks each month!! (And when I say more, I really mean MORE!! If you look at the Business Directory, you’ll notice that it takes 10 to 12 ads to fill a page...so we would really like to see at least 10 to 12...or 20 to 24 more business cards to completely fill those pages!!) If you would like to advertise, the rates are as follows: $30 for 3 months (3 months is the minimum); $50 for 6 months; and $90 for 12 months. Call Pat (435-9004) to secure a spot, and send two business cards and a check to the Chapter PO Box listed on the back of this newsletter to Pat Crittenden’s attention.

    September 2005

    As a Reminder... When you get around to sewing on your Chapter patches (see the back page of the Silver Eagle News for sizes and prices from the SN H.O.G. “Store”)...remember that all three patches (your central H.O.G. patch and SN Chapter and Las Vegas rockers SHOULD BE TOUCHING)...There’s a reason...it’s to distinguish our patch from the “three-patch” (or 1% MCs)...and to abide by H.O.G. regulations for displaying your patch...wear it proudly...and correctly!!
