THE HARLEY OWNERS GROUP
The Harley Owners Group® (H.O.G.) is an organization founded and
sponsored by Harley-Davidson Motor Company. The group was established
to offer motorcycling benefits and services to Harley-Davidson enthusiasts
throughout the world, and to develop a close relationship between the HarleyDavidson rider, the Harley-Davidson dealer and the Harley-Davidson Motor
Company.
The opportunity to start an independent chapter affiliated with the Harley
Owners Group is offered to bring members together for the common interest
of promoting motorcycling activities. The goal of each chapter is to generate
an increased level of enthusiasm for riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles.
The chapter shall be a family-oriented and nonpolitical organization. All
events are Open Events unless otherwise noted.

The Director: February Activities and the Future
We held two of our annual events in February – our
Chili Challenge on Super Bowl Sunday at John and
Lynne McKerlie’s house and our Valentines Party
at the Peddler Steak House. John and Lynne did an
outstanding job hosting the chili challenge. Our
thanks to both of you! 13 pots of chili competed for
first, second, and third place. Paula Lassiter tied for
first place with Roger Holmes and Rich Heider took
home third place.
Congratulations to the 3 winners and a big thank
you to all who competed with their special recipe.
Other guests brought great appetizers and some
helped with moving tables and chairs to and from the
dealership. The food was great and everybody
chipped in and had a super time.
The Peddler Steak House is one of my all-time
favorite places for beef. Shannon Barschaw and
Gail Bartz did a super job of planning our
Valentines Party and hosting as our masters of
ceremony. Thank you both! A huge thank-you goes
to one of our members who donated a case of wine
for the 50/50 drawing. I haven’t been able to get anyone to tell me who our Santa Claus is. It was a wonderful gift to the chapter and 12 winning members
went home with a nice bottle of wine!
The Finance Committee has a budget in place
and we’ve added a number of social events to this
year’s calendar. They include 2 general meeting
picnics and a weekend lunch picnic at Morrow
Mountain State Park, a Halloween Party hosted by
Autie and Teena Cochran, and a New Year’s Eve
Party. We also allocated funds for 4 Game Nights –
one each quarter of the year. Check out the chapter
calendar for dates and be sure to place them on your
personal calendar well in advance. We want you
there! The budget is posted on our Rewards web site
so feel free to take a look.
We are down to less than 8 weeks for selling raffle
tickets and we have a long way to go. At last count,
we had 407 members and 92 members had checked
out at least 1 book of raffle tickets to sell. If you’re
one of the 315 members who have not checked out a
book of tickets, I encourage you to do so and help us
meet our goal.
There are 3 groups of winners in this raffle. The
first, of course are the charities that we will make a
donation to. The second winner is our chapter. Last

was honored by the
city of Raleigh for

The third winner
is our sponsoring dealership. The raffle drawing
plays a significant role in the large numbers of people
who attend the dealership’s annual Open House in
April. Everyone is a winner by selling tickets.
Our dealership is building an inventory of
previously owned Dyna and Sportster motorcycles.
Their intent is to position the Harley brand in the
younger market’s price range. We would like every
one of those sales to bring a new member into our
chapter.
Tim is leading an effort on ways we can reach out
to those younger Harley owners when they buy.
Facebook has been a very effective marketing tool
for the dealership and we’re looking into Facebook
and other media as well. Got an idea on this effort?
We’d love to hear it!
Thanks to Mike Page for volunteering to be our
Historian. Jesse did a great job of selling the
position at February’s general meeting. Several of
you volunteered to take the position and I thank you
all for stepping up.
Spring is just around the corner and I’m ready to
ride! I’m rusty on my swerve and quick stop skills so
I’m planning to practice them. What riding skills are
you going to work on?

Assistant Director: NC State Rally
has recognized that the rides are limited in space and
will be putting the route up on the Rally website for
download. This is a great option as I’m planning to
lead a couple of rides while we’re at the rally.
I have secured 12 rooms at the host hotel, The
Hampton Inn Mount Airy. The great thing about
staying at this hotel is this is where all the action
begins. All the rides and bus tours leave from here as
well as a shuttle bus running back and forth between
the hotel and the Rally site.
The hotel information is as follows:

Secretary: Get Your Rewards
As Raleigh Harley Owners Group® (H.O.G. ®)
members, you start at the 5% rewards level. To move
to the 8% level, you must attend 3 meetings and have
4 hours store work credit OR 8 hours of store work
credit. January 1, your rewards level is reset to 5%.
However, store work credit and meeting attendance in
October, November, and December of the prior year
count toward building your rewards level back to the
8% level. Primary officers are at the 10% level.
You are responsible for logging in your start and stop
time in the Volunteer Work Log Notebook which is
kept at the front desk at RPHD. When you signup to
sell raffle tickets in the shop or other venues, you
must sign in and out in the “Raffle notebook” AND in
the Volunteer Work Log notebook to increase your
rewards level from 5% to 8%.
Credit for Meeting Attendance and Store Work
Hours: Once a month, the Secretary takes the logs
from the Volunteer Work Log Notebook and records
member’s hours so the dealership can assign the
percentage of member’s credit. The hours will be
recorded on the general meeting sign-in sheet and
that sheet is turned in to the dealership monthly. In
the first quarter of 2013, volunteers have logged more
than 400 hours.
Credit for Special Events: The shop will credit us
$5 per hour to our Rewards account or to dealership
gift cards when we volunteer to work at dealership
special events such as the Open House and/or the
Ray Price Capital City Bikefest. The sign-up sheets
for volunteer work will be on the back table during the
monthly general meeting a few months prior to the
event. The hours you work will be turned in to the
dealership and your rewards account will be credited.

Our membership has grown to 408 active members.
We have 3 members set to expire in March and
unfortunately 2 members were archived in February.

LOH: Ridin’ With the Ladies...
We had 31 LOH members in attendance at our
February meeting at Ray Price Harley-Davidson.
We began our February LOH meeting with Jim
Williams (Raleigh HOG Director) as our guest
speaker. With all the social activities planned for
2013, the LOH will have plenty of opportunities to
get involved. We are planning to serve dessert at
the picnic on May 2nd to thank the general club
membership for their support of our fundraisers. We
learned from Jim that the club will try to reach out to
younger membership this year as one of its goals.
Several of us ladies have children that are part of
the HOG club.
Our survey was completed by 27 LOH members
to give input on what direction they want to see the
club going in. The survey returned a lot of positives!
We all agreed that it was great fun and friendship
and camaraderie to meet with other lady riders.
The survey asked who is riding what rides? The
responses were varied, some preferred LOH rides
and others preferred HOG rides. Some said they
would ride all rides including the parades. It is also
OK to drive.
The activities identified that the ladies want to
participate in:
Lunch Rides: 88%
SPCA donation ride: 73%
Games night: 69%
Fundraising: 69%
Beach and Mountain Trips:
were an even split at

We are making plans for a local Scavenger Hunt
Ride, an Ice Cream Ride, a trip to the Lemur
Center in Durham, and of course our Weekend
Beach Trip in the fall. We are also talking to the
Lonerider Brewery about a Poker Run to benefit
charity.
The March meeting will be a dinner meeting at
Ragazzi’s in Garner at 6:00 PM on March 12th.

Chaplain’s Corner: Does Wisdom A Safe Rider Make?
I've always
wondered why
they call them
Wisdom teeth.
Have you ever
had one or
more removed?
Were you less
wise? If you
want some
cheap
entertainment
Google “Why do
they call them
wisdom teeth”
and see what
comes backBruceBrown
sorry I digress...
Chaplain
Do we
automatically get wiser as we age? Is that where
the term “wise old man” comes from? Are wisdom
and common sense the same thing? What about
simple practical experience?
Have you ever sought wisdom? If so where
did you look? Did you find it? Would it be helpful to
be a wise person when riding a motorcycle; to know
everything there is to know about your specific
model and to know practical things like slowing
down at intersections?
The dictionary defines wisdom this way:
“Understanding of what is true, right, or lasting;
insight. Common sense; good judgment. The sum
of scholarly learning through the ages; knowledge.”
I know a lot of really smart and well educated
people but less frequently truly wise people. So
where exactly does wisdom come from? As with
most questions I generally go to the Bible (God's
words to us) to see what God has to say about the
topic; In the case of wisdom there is a lot of
information and many verses to reference. Here are
some of my favorites.
King Solomon was one of the wisest men
that ever walked on the earth, here is where his
wisdom came from: 1 Kings 10:23 King Solomon
was greater in riches and wisdom than all the
other kings of the earth. 24 The whole world
sought audience with Solomon to hear the
wisdom God had put in his heart. God gave him
wisdom! Then there is this verse: Proverbs 2:6 For
the LORD gives wisdom, and from his mouth
come knowledge and understanding. Are you
Interested in gaining wisdom, knowledge and
understanding? James 1:5 If any of you lacks
wisdom, he should ask God, who gives
generously to all without finding fault, and it will
be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he must
believe and not doubt, because he who doubts
is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by
the wind.
I really enjoy the book of James, very
practical information; He writes: James 3:13 Who
is wise and understanding among you? Let him
show it by his good life, by deeds done in the
humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you
harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in your
hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.
15 Such "wisdom" does not come down from
heaven but is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil. 16
For where you have envy and selfish ambition,
there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is
first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate,
submissive, full of mercy and good fruit,
impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow
in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.
Whether or not wisdom affects our
motorcycle riding skills, I would say probably so;
Wisdom comes from God alone and having a right
relationship with Him will benefit us in many ways.
This wisdom will help us make decisions based on
what the Lord would have us do instead of trying to
make those decisions on our own especially since
life can sometimes be a
time of emptiness and
perplexity. Trust Him-ask for
His wisdom and when He
provides it walk in His ways.
Please ask Floyd or I how to
know Him personally.
Raleigh H.O.G.® sends Condolences to all who have suffered loss. Our thoughts are with you and we send
a “get well soon” to those bumped and bruised and on the mend!

On Saturday, February
2nd, Terry Iverson led a
nice back roads ride to
Nunnery-Freeman BBQ
in Henderson. It was a
little chilly but four of us
still braved the cold (with
electric help of course).
The place is not fancy but
the food is good. We then headed back to Raleigh, a little
over a 100 miles total. A good time was had by all with no
incidents to report.
Article & Photos by Jake Sanok, HOG Photographer Congratulations to Richard Barfield on being
honored by the dealership and the members of the
Raleigh Harley Owners Group as the
2012 HOG Member of the Year.
The annual award is voted on by the Raleigh HOG
members and given to the member who best
personifies the goals of the club and the dealership.
This year, the honor couldn’t have gone to a more
deserving person.
In his first year as Raffle Chairman, Richard has
enthusiastically taken on the very challenging
position with a drive and focus not often seen. He
truly enjoys what he is doing, always has a smile and
willingness to shake your hand or help out in any
way possible.
Richard is frequently seen on HOG rides
and RPHD dealership events. As you can tell
from these pictures, he is also a devoted
Carolina Hurricanes fan and family man,
shown below with his wife, Jennifer at the
2012 Raleigh HOG Christmas Dinner.
Again, Congratulations and thanks for all you
do.

On Sunday, February
10, the Peddlers Steak
House on Glenwood
Avenue in Raleigh closed
its doors to the public to host the Raleigh HOG
annual Valentines Dinner. There were 53 members
& spouses in attendance with a lot of people wearing
red. The evening began with drinks at the bar and
conversations among members. There were crackers
and cheese to satisfy the hunger before dinner.
Once everyone was seated, the tables took turns
going up to the salad bar while the waitresses took
each person’s order. With four different choices, I took
the rib eye and my wife selected the prime rib. Both
were outstanding!!
Dinner was followed by a delicious Valentines Day
cake before it was time for games and door prizes.
Everyone had a lot of fun with good food and close
friends.
Social Chairs Shannon Barschaw and Gail Bartz
did an excellent job planning, preparing, and hosting
the Valentines Dinner. Thank you for a great time!!

On Saturday, February 16th, Marc
O’Grady was to lead a lunch ride
leaving Ray Price HD at 10AM. He left
his home in Johnston county and rode
into rain as he approached the
dealership. That rain turned to snow just
before the departure time and went from
uncomfortable to dangerous riding
conditions.
The ride was therefore cancelled and
instead, Marc gave his bike to the RPHD Service Department to detail while
Marc, Butch Evans, and I decided to head to Angie’s Grill in Garner (on four
wheels) for breakfast. Just because the ride had to be cancelled didn’t mean that a couple of friendly Raleigh
HOG members couldn’t share some good food and good conversation!
Thanks, Marc for following through on a ride that wasn’t.

A native of North Carolina, Bruce grew up in New
Bern before moving to Raleigh in 1984. That year, he
began working at the dealership in its earlier building
with Ray Price himself as his mentor. Bruce learned
to work on Shovelheads and the Evolution engines at
the time. He also has had formal training at the
Harley-Davidson factory in Milwaukee, Wisconsin
earning his Master Level Technician certification.
Two years ago, Bruce was promoted to Shop
Foreman.
Randy Hamm, RPHD Service Manager
Spring is right around the corner and the time is
now to get your bike ready for riding. Many of us ride
less often during the winter months or leave our bike
in the garage for an extended period of time. Now is
the time to bring it to the Service Department at Ray
Price HD for a tune-up, safety check, or installation of
those accessories that you’ve been wanting. They’re
not as busy now as they will be if you wait a month so
you can get in and out quickly.
Bruce stresses that the team of service technicians
are constantly updating their skills to stay up to date
on all of the technological advances on the new
motorcycle models. Each technician has their own set
of skills and the combination allows the Service
Department to provide the customer with the best
possible service.
Whether it is installing accessories, tires and brakes
check up, digital technical analysis, fuel injection
work, Dyno testing the motor, changing the oil and
fluids, simple repairs, or a total engine overhaul, these
guys can do it and live for the challenge. They have
even taken on complete custom fabrication projects
for that rider who is looking for a competition race or
show bike. The Service Department (only) will begin

Randy explains that the use of genuine HD parts

reasons to bring your bike here as opposed to

mini-bikes and dirt bikes when he was 8 years old.
His father was a big influence on his interest in

particular. Bruce bought his first Harley in 1981, one
year after his dad had bought one.

Fall ride in the mountains. Our new host hotel
last year was the Big Lynn Lodge and the
unanimous opinion was that it’s a great place to
stay and the hospitality couldn’t have been more
friendly to our HOG members. The Lodge is
located adjacent to the Blue Ridge Parkway
and convenient to a ton of scenic roads in the
area.
The Big Lynn Lodge started out as a
collection of cabins on an old dahlia farm over 70
years ago and has grown into the current 42
room Inn. It features a main Lodge and separate
cottages overlooking a beautiful valley with
Big Lynn Lodge on Hwy 226-A in Little Switzerland, NC 28749
views for miles on a clear day. Those who
confirm early can reserve the valley view cottages and there are some valley view rooms available in the Inn.
The special Raleigh HOG rate (ask for it) is $115 per night plus tax and that includes breakfast and dinner
daily. It’s home cooking with breakfast to order and a set meal in the evening including dessert and beverage.
In the evening you do have a choice – eat what you are served or go hungry! But I didn’t hear any complaints
last year. Call 800-654-5232 to make your reservation. The cut-off date for our room block is July 1. There is
a $20 cancellation fee and if you cancel within 10 days of arrival, it is non-refundable. They will ask for a
credit card to confirm the reservation.
**Special Bonus** - if we book 30 rooms we get a complimentary Pig-Picking and a Bluegrass Band to
entertain us on Saturday night. So, book now and let’s make it happen!
The Inn has a hospitality room with fireplace and pool table we can use in the evenings and an outdoor
porch perfect for the bon fire and enjoying your favorite libation. Beer and wine is served in the Lodge and if
you want to bring your own, you can partake discreetly at our outdoor venue. It seems some deep intellectual
dialog is always forthcoming as the evening lengthens – go figure? Big stories, bodacious lies and bad jokes
are abundant.
Jim Williams will lead the ride up departing at a
time to be announced later. Greg Nichols and Jim
will have some interesting rides on Saturday and don’t
forget to bring your leathers as the mornings and
evenings are cool at the higher elevations. No need to
worry about mounting your snow tires or chains.
We’ve had some flakes in the past (but they don’t ride
with us anymore) oops! I meant snow flakes! Anyhow
– be cool but ride warm.
When you make your reservations, shoot me an
email at [email protected] so we can keep up
with the room count. Many thanks and we look
forward to having you on the ride.
Harold, Jim and Greg
