The morning started off a little cool, but the sun was out and the day turned out to be really nice for a ride. We headed east from the dealership on 96th Street to Hazel-Del Parkway, then north to 116th Street and east on 116th Street to Olio Road, south on Olio Road to 113th Street, east on 113th Street and this is where the ride became more fun as 113th Street is tree lined and has some curves. On 113th Street, this lead us to State Road 238, over to Fortville, then we took Fortville Pike south through Greenfield to Davis Road, Davis Road east to Morristown Pike, south on Morristown Pike to US 52, then southeast to Rushville and State Road 44, east on State Road 44 to Connersville where we stopped for a short break. From Connersville, we took State Road 121 south, this road follows the Whitewater River as it makes its way to Metamora. Metamora however was not our destination this day, so we turned south on State Road 229 to Batesville, as we went through Oldenburg we met a group on Cushman Motor Scooters that were on an outing that day also. In Batesville, we stopped at the Sherman House for lunch. Chip, Mark and Chris were the lucky winners of lunch paid by the Chapter. After lunch we made a gas stop before heading back to Indy by way of State Road 229 and US 52. I received many nice comments on the ride with most saying that they didn’t know that a short ride to Batesville could be so long and so scenic, but after all, it is not the destination it’s the journey.

Newsletter Editor: Sherri Hammer 317.815.2537 • [email protected] Page 8 Hello To All , Let me start by saying, my husband and I are glad to be new H.O.G. members, and being new members, I was asked if I could write a little about our trip to Daytona, for Biketoberfest ‘06. I have never done this before, but here we go. We left Markleville on Sunday about 11:30 on the 15th. With the bike in tow, because we wanted a place to park the bike without worrying about it being stolen and leaving us stranded a 1,000 miles from home. We have rode other bikes that we’ve had to the French Quarter, and over the last 3 years we rode to North Carolina and Branson, MO. We decided to stop for the night in Marietta, Georgia and let me tell you, we’ve stopped over in Georgia before and each time we say never again, lol "lots of laughter." Monday we started off again and it seemed like we were never going to get through Georgia, with all the construction going on, but we finally made it to Daytona about 4:30 that afternoon. We checked into the Outrigger Resort in Ormond Beach, right on the ocean and it was beautiful, I’ve never been to Daytona before. The temperature was in the high 80's when we got there. After we unloaded everything we were told that we could not leave the truck and trailer on the lot, so we ended up having to pay another place to let us park them in a empty lot across the street from where we were staying. Come to find out, last year they had several bikes stolen, and they had trucks and trailers parked everywhere in the lots and really didn’t know who owned the trailers. The City told all the motel’s, hotel’s and resorts to keep some kind of control on who parks trailers in their area. By this time, it was starting to get dark and we were getting hungry, and tired, so we took a little ride and got a bite to eat and went back to the room. Tuesday we got up and Tom said he was going to take me to some of the places were he’s been before during BikeWeek in March. Oh by the way, Tom is my husband, lol. We went to places like Broken Spoke, Cabbage Patch, Iron Horse Saloon, but due to the city of Daytona not recognizing Biketoberfest until Thursday thru Saturday they won’t let any " dealers - venders " set up until Thursday. What people we talked to said that each year there’s more and more people coming earlier, so they look for City officials to start letting things start a little earlier real soon. In the meantime, things are a little dead until Wednesday night and Thursday, then " WATCH OUT " all of a sudden there’s more bikers than you could count, coming out of the woodwork. Lol starting Wednesday, you’ll see trucks and trailers full of bikes, and bikers riding in, full of gear and ready to enjoy the next few days, arriving all day and night. We decided to go spend a day at the dog track, which was really neat, we both won a few races, but was too green to bet much, so we still had to come back home Sunday like planned, lol .Then we went to Main Street, this is where I think most of the bikers hang out watching the bikes cruise and going to places like: Boothill Saloon; Corbins; and Frogs Saloon. There’s so much stuff going on all around Daytona you can’t see it all. We went to the Daytona International Speedway and if your into NASCAR fan "WOW". There was motorcycle racing and demo rides with about every motorcycle manufacturer there at the track, not to mention all the vendors and live music too. If your into flea markets and motorcycle swap meets, just about a half mile west of the track there was something for every one. Oh, by the way, while at the dog track, we met a lady that worked there and ended up going riding with her and her husband, they ride a real nice Nighttrain. Friday and Saturday they took us to other hot spots that we would have never found. If you go down there, try to make it a point to eat at the RiverGrille, it sits in a wooded area right over the water. They have a dock where boaters can come park their boats and walk up to the restaurant to eat. We tried some alligator tail and it really wasn’t that bad. One day we rode over to the worlds largest Harley dealer in Ormond Beach. That place was really neat, it had an elevator and escalators as well as more new Harley’s in one spot than we have ever seen, both downstairs and upstairs. Believe it or not, they have Harley merchandise that we’ve never seen around here. It is worth the trip to go see it, if your in the area. We didn’t think much of the fact that we had to pay $5.00 just to park in his lot to see one of his 13 or 14 Harley stores that he owns down there. They did have several vendors and live music going on, so I guess it really wasn’t bad. We found out he never offers any discounts, except during Labor Day and no discount’s for out of state H.O.G. members either. Well, I better get off here before it’s considered a novel, lol. I’m sorry we didn’t take more pics, we had no idea we would be asked to do this and like Tom always says “KEEP THE SUNNY SIDE UP & THE RUBBER ON THE ROAD!!” Tom & Carol Case, Markleville, IN VOLUME 19, ISSUE 11 Page 9 BUSINESS DIRECTORY PLEASE SUPPORT OUR ADVERTISERS and REMEMBER TO USE THEIR SERVICES Advertise here for 12 months for only $5.00 per month Call Mike Salami • 317-844-9925 • e-mail: [email protected] VOLUME 19 , ISSUE 11 Page 10 VOLUME 19 , ISSUE 11 Page 11 Indianapolis Chapter No. 1 Newsletter Editor PO Box 80448 Indianapolis, IN 46280-0448 DEALERSHIP NEWS *Don’t forget about your 15% discount provided to all HOG Chapter #1 members.
