Message from your Director
Harley Owners Group
INDIANAPOLIS CHAPTER NO. 1, INC
CHAPTER #1238
I am pleased to see the continued growth of our Chapter both in total members and
members who attend our meetings. With the loss of 4 officers I was very happy to see four
members step up to replace them: Barb Wilson, Secretary; Mark Ridgeway, Safety
Director; Jason Robertson, Sergeant of Arms; and Mike Salami, Publicity Chair. These
new Officers will bring more new thinking to our Officers Core and continued
improvement of your Chapter.
The Dealership has not requested our help with CycleThang so I might suggest you take
advantage in the Charity Rides leaving the Dealership that day. Thanks to all of you that
went on the "Mystery Ride" (Beef House). The feedback I have received was very much
appreciated. I am looking forward to our riding activities the rest of the season and your
preparation. I also look forward to the Brickyard Ride and Conner Prairie. THANKS
RUSS. I will see you on the road. Bob Bill.
Bowling for MDA
On Sunday, July 9th, Harley-Davidson of Indianapolis/HOG Chapter #1 bowled
against Harley-Davidson Southside and Westside HOG Chapters to see who could
raise the most money for MDA and have the most fun. Northside won the Participation
Award for having the most bowlers; Southside won the Best Bowler Award, average of
220; and Westside lost all around. Thanks to Russ, all the HOG Chapter members and
the staff at Harley-Davidson of Indianapolis who participated in a victory not only for
MDA, but for Northside. Also, thanks to Beth Bey for arranging this fun event and for
the prizes, especially the crowns, they were a big hit.
BUNS OF THE BRICKYARD RIDE
This is the 2nd Annual Buns of the Brickyard Ride, which will follow the August 5th
Chapter Meeting. This escorted ride will begin at approximately 9:15 am. The August
meeting will begin with breakfast and the meeting at 8:30 am. If you are interested in
participating in this ride, please contact Sherri via e-mail: [email protected] or
317.815.2537, so we can purchase advanced tickets. Harley-Davidson of Indianapolis
will contribute $5 towards your ticket price, so your cost would be $10 per person. We
invite non-HOG Members to participate; however, their ticket price would be $15 per
person. We are looking forward to a fun filled day at the track. Please let me know if
you have any questions. - Russ -

National HOG Rally
The National HOG Rally was held this year
in Billings Montana where Sid and Yvonne
Lewis, Tom and Donna Ransdale, and Ed and
Carolyn James represented Indianapolis
Chapter No. 1. Since the ride takes you
through South Dakota and Tom and Donna
had not been to that part of the country, we
took the opportunity to hit all the hot spots
along the way, which included Wall Drugs,
The Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Crazy
Horse, Custer State Park, Needles Highway,
Devil’s Tower, Iron Mountain Road, Beartooth Pass, and Yellowstone National Park.
When it was all said and done, we rode over
4500 miles from June 24th through July 4th,
and had more fun than most normal people
should be allowed to experience and made
enough memories to fill a book.
During a little over a week on the road, we
experienced sun, heat, rain, hail, and more
sun. The trip started Saturday morning in Brownsburg where we all met for breakfast and I learned that it is possible
to put 5.12 gallons of gas in an Ultra and still not run out of gas. We rode to Albert Lea, Minnesota the first day and
started the second day in the rain, but the sun came out before we ended up in Rapid City, South Dakota. At each stop
for gas, it became a contest to see how much gas Tom needed compared to Sid and me. Much to Tom’s dismay, he
generally needed ½ to a full gallon more than Sid and me at each stop. Of course, we did not pick at him about this
small issue…yea right! In addition, I tried not to run over him as he tried to get up the mountain roads, which had him
wondering even more why his mileage was less than my bike with the big bore kit. It was on the third day that Sid
started to learn of his great wisdom (well, maybe Yvonne’s great wisdom) of purchasing an extended warranty for his
bike. He developed an oil leak around the push rod seals, but the Rapid City Dealership worked him into an already
busy schedule. While they were fixing his problem, Sid rented a bike from them and we spent the afternoon touring
the Badlands. He picked up his bike later that day and we spent the next day riding to Mount Rushmore, Crazy Horse,
and Custer State Park. We experienced incredible scenery and too many buffalo and antelope than you can count on
the Wildlife Loop in Custer, and beautiful scenery and twisty roads on Needles Highway. If you have not been to
Mount Rushmore National Park and Crazy Horse, you are missing an unbelievable feat of mountain sculpture.

Chapter Meeting Minutes
Submitted by Sherri Hammer
Meeting Called to Order
Introduction/Welcome of New Members/Guests
General Discussion:
Thanked Russ and the dealership for breakfast.
April Business:
• MDA bowl-off between Northside HOG-Southside HOG-Westside HOG on Sunday July 9, 2006 from 5 to 9:00 pm. Cost is $3.00 per
person and there is a sign-up sheet posted on the board.
• Secretary has resigned, again. Need to consider election of new Secretary by meetings end. No nominations were made.
•
•
Safety Director resigned. Mark Ridgeway was nominated, it was seconded and accepted. Congratulations to Mark and welcome.
Publicity Chair has resigned. Mike Salami was nominated, it was seconded and accepted. Congratulations to Mike and welcome. It
was stated that no Awards Chair had ever been elected for 2006, but no nominations were made. It was suggested and tabled until next
meeting.
Assistant Director:
•
Talked about the ride to Louisville where 13 bikes joined the ride. They had a great time and the food at King Fish Restaurant was
excellent.
Treasurer:
New name tags are in and if you haven’t picked yours up, they are now available. If anyone is interested who hasn’t ordered one, a
new list has been started.
• It was stated that there was $1,000 in the Charity account and reminder that half of the 50/50 goes into this account.
•
•
Someone asked about ordering chapter shirts. Please put your name on the list and when the minimum is met, then shirts can be
ordered. Harley-Davidson of Indianapolis indicated that items for the HOG Chapter will be available soon in the store. It was stated
that the patches can be purchased through motorclothes right now.
Road Captain:
• Russ was thanked again for breakfast and his participation.
Make sure everyone has signed up for the ride and appropriate waivers are signed. The route will be 31 – 32 – 63, stop for a late lunch
and then return.
Ladies of Harley:
It was suggested to have bike nights and/or new rider rides. If you are interested in one or both or something else, please let Amy
know.
• Please don’t forget to sign-up for Ladies of Harley if you haven’t already. There will be some fun and exciting things to do. It is
important to remember safety as a rider and a passenger. Remember to wear appropriate clothing just in case the bike goes down. It is
important as a passenger to also be appropriately dressed. Also, as a passenger, it is important to be alert and help the rider of
upcoming obstacles.

On Wednesday we were headed to Cody, Wyoming, but about the time we hit Sundance Wyoming, Sid’s bike decided to spew oil
all over Yvonne’s jeans, into the breather, and all over the engine. (Note: this problem was not related to the first problem.) The
closest dealership was in Gillette. Sid and Yvonne went on the Gillette, and the rest of us continued on to see Devil’s Tower before hooking up with him and Yvonne in Gillette (again, Yvonne reminded Sid of the great wisdom in purchasing the extended
warranty). About three hours later we met them at the Dealership where we learned, after quite a bit of coaxing, they agreed to
look at his bike, and by early afternoon, we headed to Cody. Unfortunately, about 25 miles later Yvonne had that warm oily feeling on her jeans again and Sid had smoke coming from his exhaust. Obviously, Gillette did not fix the problem. We took it back
and received a less than friendly welcome. They basically said they could not get to it for about a week. Consequently, we called
Rapid City and they said they would take care of him if we could get it to them. Bright and early the next morning we headed east
to Rapid City. We had to stop after each 15-mile stretch to keep Sid’s bike from spewing oil, but we finally made it back to the
Rapid City Dealership where they were ready for our arrival. They found the problem, which was not properly fixed in Gillette,
and while they were working on his bike Sid rented another bike and we headed out to see more sights, which included Sturgis.
I’m not sure, but I believe Yvonne again told Sid about the wisdom of an extended warranty, and I think by now it was more like
“I told you so”. All kidding aside, the guys at Rapid City went above and beyond to get Sid’s bike in and out for repairs, and their
work was flawless. Gillette, on the other hand, well, that’s all I have to say about that.
With the bike problems behind us, we changed plans and headed
straight to Billings, Montana early Friday morning. We arrived in
Billings in time to get settled in our hotel room and head out for the
National Rally. We watched Bubba Blackwell perform, toured
some of the vendors, and later that evening attended the opening
ceremonies where we heard from the usual contingent of dignitaries
(including Willie G.). We ended the evening watching Sugarland
(a Country Music Group) perform.
Saturday morning we headed out for the day to Beartooth Pass and
Yellowstone National Park. Beartooth Pass is an incredibly beautiful area to ride with twisty roads and post card scenery everywhere
you look. At the upper elevation of around 11,000 feet we had
snow on the sides of the road and stopped near the peak where
Carolyn and Yvonne tried to start a snowball fight. After leaving
the mountains we headed for Yellowstone National Park where we saw an incredible waterfall and several hot springs and ponds.
Yellowstone also brought us the experience with hail. As we rode through a higher elevation of the park we ran into some rain,
but it quickly turned to hail. After the hail started, and Sid passed a turn-out, the road quickly turned white with hail and it was
like riding in slush. After a little coaxing by Yvonne, Sid stopped at the next turn-out where we sat through the remainder of the
hail storm and took a few pictures to capture the moment. From there we headed out of the park and found the road completely
removed and gravel in its place. We even followed a water truck out of the park that was coating the gravel and dirt with water to
keep the dust down. We rode through Cody Wyoming on our way back to Billings where Tom continued to try and keep up as we
rode through more mountains.
Unfortunately, Sunday morning meant it was time to head east for home because we all
needed to be back to work on Wednesday, which means we had 3 days to get back home
from Billings. The ride home was fairly uneventful with the exception of picking on Tom
at each gas stop and one small incident with a pheasant. As we headed into our first stop
Sunday night in eastern South Dakota and the sun was beginning to drop from the sky, I
saw a bird take off from the median and fly in front of Sid. The next thing I saw was an
explosion of feathers! I am not kidding, one minute the bird was taking off and the next
minute I was riding into a wall of feathers. The bird made it to the other side of the road,
but it had to be completely naked by that point in time. Fortunately, Sid had a good grip on
the handlebars and other than a couple of feathers stuck to the bike, the passing lamps
knocked out of alignment, and a few nerves shaken, everyone was ok and we were back on
our way. The last two days of the trip had us continuing to pick at Tom over his gas mileage, and enjoying the last few miles on
the road. Tom did also find out that it is possible to put 5.23 gallons of gas in an Ultra and still not run out of gas (just how much
gas does an Ultra hold anyway?). We all ended up back home the afternoon of July 4th with memories to last a lifetime, friendships still intact, plenty of pictures to capture the memories, Sid’s bike running good, and looking forward to the next trip.

MEMBER NEWS AND NOTES
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Pam Lowe
and her family following the loss of Pam's
Aunt Francis. Pam had taken care of her Aunt
for several years and was very close to her.
Flowers were sent on behalf of the Chapter.
If you pickup the August copy of American
Iron Magazine, you will find a couple of
familiar faces inside. Chapter Members,
Keith and Barb Parker, traveled to Australia
earlier this year with a group from the
magazine.
The story is in the magazine, but Keith and
Barb have several more stories to tell about
their adventures, so ask them about the trip
next time you see them at a meeting or event.
