May, 2013
It’s pretty obvious from all the recent
changes that Harley Owners Group is evolving.
Having spoken with Fred about the “old days”
when Skagit H-D first sponsored a chapter, it’s
hard to imagine how the chapters had to be
managed then as compared to now. A full contingent of our officers was able to attend the
HOG Officer Training (HOT) in March and
change was a theme whether intended or not. I haven’t
been a member of North
Cascade Chapter the full 25
years but I’ve been an officer on and off for 8 years
and the changes within
HOG have been very apparent. My opinion would be
that some have been positive and some not so much,
but does it really matter?
For at least the past 13
years, our chapter has been
managed within the charter
and the spirit of HOG. If
we’re out riding and having
fun, does the rest of it really
matter that much?
For me, the most
interesting question from HOT was “what motivates you?” Whether it is accepting the nomination to be voted on to become an officer, volunteering to fill an open officer’s position, or
just volunteering to help out at an event. At our
last officer’s meeting I asked everyone there
what motivated them. I didn’t want to hear the
answer, I just wanted each of them to reach
inside and contemplate why they were there
each meeting, each event, etc…tomorrow is
our RC meeting and I plan to pose that question there as well. Frankly, if it’s not to have
FUN and help the chapter members to have
FUN then find something else to do with your
time. Years ago I belonged to a different chapter and to become a Road Captain you had to
be specifically invited by one of the existing
RC’s. There was a gentleman who became an
RC and one day I heard him state that he hated group riding. I thought it was odd so the
question was asked “why become an RC
then?” His response was so he could ride
where he wanted to go and out in front so he
wasn’t part of the group. I’ve never understood
his logic...why not just ride on his own if that’s
how he felt. He later became Head RC and
then Chapter Director and in my opinion not a
very good one. If you’re
interested I can share the
story of his departure as
Director, just pull me aside
and ask some day. What
was his motivation? With
his less than positive approach, is it any wonder
that he wasn’t that great of
an officer? That chapter
didn’t get to elect their officers which is why I’m
thankful that our sponsor
supports our elections.
So, what motivates each of you to keep
coming back as members? Take some time to
consider it. I hope it’s to
have FUN, enjoy the riding, and the companionship of your HOG brothers and sisters. If not, find something else that
makes you happy. In the long run it’ll be
healthier and better for you as well as everyone
around you. We all bought Harley-Davidson
motorcycles to ride and have FUN. That’s
what I plan to keep doing and hopefully help
you have FUN as well.
Every weekend for the remainder of
April is full and the May calendar is filling up as
well so, rain or shine, take advantage of the
opportunity to get out, get active, and RIDE!

Pennies From Heaven
And he said to Him, if now I have found grace in your
sight, then show me a sign that you talk with me. Judges
6:17
In my time as Chaplain, the one thing I have been focused on is to get you to put God in your life in a bigger
way. For some of you it may be to invite Him in for the
first time and for others, to invite Him back.
I got this story from Tara Corona the other day. I
thought it was a good demonstration of those “God
Things” that happen in our lives that we don’t often pay
attention to.
Several years ago a friend of mine and her husband
were invited to spend the weekend at the husband’s employer’s home. My friend Arlene was nervous about the
weekend. The boss was very wealthy with a fine home
on the waterway and cars costing more than her house.
The first evening, as they all were about to enter an
exclusive restaurant for dinner, the boss was walking
slightly ahead of Arlene and her husband.
He stopped suddenly, looking down on the pavement
for a long silent moment.
Arlene wondered if she was supposed to pass him.
There was nothing on the ground except a single darkened penny that someone had dropped and a few cigarette butts.
Still silent, the man reached down and picked up the
penny. He held it up and smiled, then put it in his pocket
as if he had found a great treasure. How absurd! What
need did this man have for a single penny? Why would
he even take the time to stop and pick it up?
Throughout dinner, the entire scene nagged at her.
Finally she could stand it no longer. She casually mentioned that her daughter once had a coin collection and
asked if the penny he had found had been of some value.
A smile crept across the man’s
face as he reached into his pocket for the penny and held it out
for her to see. “Look at it” he
said. “Read what it says”. She
read the words “United States of
America”. “No, not that...read
further”. “One cent?” “No, keep
reading”. “In God We Trust?”
“Yes!”
‘And?’
on a coin. Whenever I find a coin I see that inscription. It is written on every single United States coin,
but we never seem to notice it! God drops a message right in front of me telling me to trust Him? Who
am I to pass it by? When I see a coin, I pray, I stop
to see if my trust IS in God at that moment. I pick the
coin up as a response to God; that I do trust in Him.
For a short time, at least, I cherish it as if it were
gold. I think it is God's way of starting a conversation
with me. Lucky me! God is patient and pennies are
plentiful!
When I was out shopping today, I found a penny on
the sidewalk. I stopped and picked it up, and realized that I had been worrying and fretting in my mind
about things I cannot change. I read the words, 'In
God We Trust,' and had to laugh. Yes, God, I get the
message.
It seems that I have been finding an inordinate number of pennies in the last few months, but then, pennies are plentiful! And, God is patient...
The best mathematical equation I have ever
seen: 1 cross + 3 nails = 4 given
That's the whole gospel message simply stated.
Thanks Tara for reminding us that signs are everywhere.
Ride Safe
and Pay
Attention!

And if I trust in God, the name of God is holy, even
Next Meetings: May 5 & June 2 - Time, 10:00 am - 9:00 for breakfast

The meeting was opened by Chaplain Howard at
10:02am. Today was a testament to NCHOG, not a single
motorcycle showed up to the meeting due to the rain.
Chaplain Howard shared a humorous story of a widow
who had her daughter set her up on a date with a similarly
aged gentleman. Afterwards, the daughter asked how it
went. The widow replied that she had to slap the man three
times. “Was he getting frisky?” the daughter asked. “No”,
said the widow, “I thought he was dead”.
With all the things in our lives today, find out what you are
facing whether it is financial things, relationships, safety or
technology so you can reduce those worries. You can eliminate them by delegating those things to God if you choose
to do so. Trust in the Lord with all
your heart, and he will make your
path straight. If you carry around
too much, you don’t live life, you
simply endure life.
Activities Officer JD thanked the
people who helped with the Pool
Shoot. He is now organizing the
25th Anniversary committee. They
will meet at the Farmhouse Inn on
April 10th at 5 pm.
Treasurer Tom said that the
chapter has money again! If any
members have questions, ask Tom.
Webmaster Kenny reported that
everything is going smoothly. The
NCHOG website calendar is up to
date and FaceBook is being used
regularly. If interested, he has printable member/officer business cards should you want them.
Lindy with Membership was not here, but as of this
week, the chapter has 191 members.
LOH Lead Angela said the next meeting will be April 16th
at Bob’s Burgers and Brew in Burlington. She has printed
paperwork/registration for the upcoming LOH summit in October.
Assistant LOH Judy said that she has a two bedroom
beach house south of Keystone ferry on Whidbey Island, if
any friends want to use it for the State Rally in July, get with
Judy if interested.
Editor Mike reminded everyone to keep the cards, letters,
stories and pictures coming in!
Lead Road Captain Roger asked if any members knew
what S.E.E. meant. When riding alone or in a group, you
must Search, Evaluate and Execute. Always use your head
when riding! April 13th was the original RC meeting but it
has been changed to the 14th at Sedro-Woolley School;
look for Roger’s email for more info! The 21st of April is
Chet and JD’s run through Bow, up to Bellingham, and
stopping for lunch at Cutters. On May 4th, Marji and Rhonda have a ride but no destination yet. May 19th will be with
Chet and JB and possibly will be to Mt. Baker. As for the
Memorial weekend ride, hopefully you already have your
rooms.
Historian Rhonda couldn’t make it to the meeting. She
would like to say if you have any old newsletters, please
bring then in and let her borrow them.
Assistant Director Cathy reminded everyone that the
orange booklet with the calendar and events is on the front
table. Inside it is highlighted with flyers for a variety of different events, so please take a look. Remember to access
www.nchog.com website for the chapter calendar. Two sign
-up sheets are available for the Spring Bike show! She
needs people to help with parking. She also needs volunteers for the Skagit H-D 25th Anniversary HOG table.
Director Vince would like to thank the volunteers for the
month of March, Jeff and Angela. Len and Lindy were also
thanked but not present. Did anyone see their number in the newsletter? Bill did not see his number!
Vince noted lots of people don’t like
to write newsletter articles, but
would still like to share stories
about their events and rides. If you
want it published, get another officer/member to write it for you, like
Vince, Roger, or Briess! We’d like
you to share your stories with the
Chapter. There will be a Poker Run
the last week in April. On April 27th
there will be a Lighthouse Mission
ride as a fundraiser for a new elevator. This will be 90 miles for 90
years with a barbecue and other
fun events afterwards. The Skagit
H-D Bike Show will be April 20th
and still needs a judge! Please talk to Vince if interested.
The floor was opened to members: Allen has his bike and
15 cords of wood for sale. Contact him if interested or for
more info.
Chet discussed the Washington State Rally and needs
volunteers! If someone could sit at a table for the poker run
it would be appreciated. He doesn’t know exactly where the
stops are yet. Dates are July 18-20th. Please let Chet know
if you’re interested.
Tom discussed the Memorial Day ride through Idaho and
Oregon. Sign-up sheets are at the front table or, for more
information, see Tom. There is a possible surprise patch if
you go.
If you saw Vince’s email, the Burn Foundation purchased
property at Anderson Creek Lodge. However they do not
have any cabins so perhaps different organizations could
help construct or decorate a cabin. Jon mentioned that
many high schools have construction classes and maybe
they would be interested in assisting.
Door prizes winners were Lori and Dick.
Howard gave thanks and gratitude for the lives we live
and the special people we have in our lives. Thank you
Lord, we are grateful.
The meeting closed at 11:03am.

Packing your bike for a trip
Well, the season for road trips is just around the corner
and many of us will be taking to the road shortly.
For this issue of the newsletter here are a couple of ideas
or suggestions that could make your trip safer and more enjoyable.
Packing your motorcycle right is essential for many reasons: safety, maneuverability, gas mileage, access to gear
and your comfort.
 Tip
- Lay out everything you are going to carry with you
around your bike so you can add them methodically.
- Lay out an assortment of bungee cords arranged by
length.
Your motorcycle.
Your motorcycle should be suitable for the load you’re
about to put on it. Simply stated, will your motorcycle accommodate the extra 100 pounds or so that you are planning on
carrying?
Saddle Bags.
Most common saddle bags are soft throw-over or hard
mount. In either case this is where you should carry a full set
of tools. The tools should be in the right saddle bag where
you can access them while on the side of the road. The
heaviest tools go on the bottom. You might want to consider
wrapping wrenches and drive sockets in shop towels. You
never know when you may need an extra rag or two.
 Tip
- A four foot siphon hose, long enough to reach another
bike is cheap insurance.
On top of the tools is a great place for a siphon hose.
There is always that chance you or someone will need a little
extra fuel. Next layer, first aid kit and the ever popular cleaning items to keep the shine on your bike.
The left saddle bag would be for other items that may be
needed on the road. Items such as your camera, extra
gloves, maps, sweatshirt. Whatever you feel that you might
need quick access to.
The Core
The really important part of loading a bike is the core. Having your bike loaded properly will help in safety and maneuverability. Heavy items must be kept as low as possible. If
the heavy items are high your bike can become very unstable.
Think of a “load triangle”. The high point of the triangle
will peak at the rider’s shoulders with the base at the point of
contact where the front and rear tires meet the road. As
much weight as possible should be inside this triangle for

safety and stability as well as maneuverability.
When using a travel bag this is where extra boots or anything heavy should be stored. Often this is where your extra
clothes are carried. Roll your clothes to fit more compactly
and stack them tightly.
Once packed, place it on the bike ahead of the passenger
seat back. It’s best not to have the bag on the luggage rack.
This puts the heavy items outside of the triangle of weight.
The luggage rack
When using the luggage rack for additional items, place
the heaviest items in the most forward part of the bag.
Now is the time that the bungee cords come in real handy.
Hook one end of the bungee on the right side, bring it up over
the load and hook on the left side. Do the same in reverse,
using the same length of bungee cord, hooking to the identical places on the opposite side of the bike. Symmetry equalizes the load. Build your pack upward and inward, crossing
bungee cords at critical points on your pack. They need to be
tight and equal to stabilize the load.

 Tip
- If need be, you can always adjust your packs when you
stop. Be aware that your load can loosen and shift.
Check and double check your bags on each stop.
Extra items
An additional packing tip is how to secure and place extras. These could be layers of clothing if it turns cool or, conversely, where to put extra layers as you peel them off during
the day.
Cargo nets can be placed over the whole load, attached
symmetrically to the bike allowing easy and quick access for
those extra items.
When finished loading
your bike the
entire pack
should be no
higher than
shoulder level
or lower.
When riding with a
partner, take
turns leading
and following
when you first
start. This way
you can check
each others’
packs for stability.

Our LOH meeting for April was a good one. Thank you all
that joined us. Those that were not able to make it I imagine
were out riding on that gorgeous sunny day or something
equally as fun. We are collecting retired Harley T-shirts for
a quilt we are putting together.
If you have one or two or a dozen please let me know. Thank
you, Doug and Elaine Fielding
for your donation of the T-shirts.
On May 11th we are having a
canning day. Cheryl Kilcollins
has opened her home for this
learning experience. We will be
canning Bread and Butter chip
pickles. The fun starts at 10:30
that day. Let me know if you are
interested in going and I will get
you directions and what supplies
you need to bring.
Mark your calendar for June
22nd. Yes, it is the Quilt Shop
Judy
Hop. Several Quilt shops around the counties will be visited
that day...hope for nice weather. If you would like to participate meet at Skagit Harley-Davidson at 8am.
The LOH ladies have a new flag. Check out our picture.
We are proud of our chapter and are now able to show it.
The next LOH meeting will
be at Bob’s Burgers and
Brew at I-5 and Cook
Road. Everyone is welcome. The meeting starts
at 6:30pm. Come early for
dinner or just good company. Hope to see you
there.

NCHOG - IN THE BEGINNING
by: Fred Smith, Sponsor
As you know, NCHOG is celebrating its 25th birthday this
year. Our Director, Vince Danner has asked me to reminisce about the early years of the NCHOG. Since I did not
keep written records, these ramblings may differ from those
of others that helped found NCHOG in 1988. Some of the
1st year members were Lee Jamison, Jeff Arnold, Ted Mathias, Steve & Sheryl Smith, Ed Barrett, Frank & Cherrie
Hardy, and Art Fournier. Lee, Ed and Ted were all Directors
of the group in the early years. Sheryl Smith was secretary
and Jeff Arnold was treasurer.
From 1976 - 1987, (until the founding of NCHOG), Skagit
page 10
Harley-Davidson planned most of the organized rides and
parties. The annual Bowman Bay Party became very popular and I was always looking for volunteers to help me put it
on. Even my Mother was enlisted to make huge amounts of
potato salad every year for the party. We would BBQ pork
roasts over alder on the park grill. Besides potato salad and
BBQ pork we usually had baked beans, corn on the cob and
hot dogs. Keg
beer was allowed by Deception Pass
State Park so
there were
always a few kegs
kept on ice
along with soda
pop for refreshment. After
the founding
of NCHOG in
1988, the
rides, events and
parties were
pretty much handled by the
group rather than
me. As the
Sponsor, I very
much appreciate NCHOG and
all that they
do to organize fun
times for Harers. Congratley-Davidson ownulations to NCHOG for 25 years of fun, great rides and
memories!

Although this photo pre-dates NC HOG (this is circa 1982), it
shows that the groundwork was being laid for the camaraderie
that typifies our Chapter. Photo submitted by Fred and I’m bettin’ that’s (a much younger) Fred, top left center.
We’ll head out Friday June 21st at 8:00 am from the I-5 south
Smokey Point rest area. We’ll be riding freeway to Auburn
then over to Enumclaw. Then it’s over Chinook Pass and
down into Yakima with a visit to Owen H-D. On to Othello,
Coulee City, and spending the night in Grand Coulee at the
Columbia River Inn. From there it's over near Colville, up to
Ione, and Metaline Falls before dropping down to Spokane
on the Idaho side of the river with a visit to Lone Wolf H-D.
Then it’s either Stevens Pass or Washington Pass on the
way home Sunday.

get your reservations now
since many events are
happening in Spokane

What is HOG?
HOG is some really crazy friends.
Meeting up at a National Rally for fun!
Poking fun at friends, that then laugh at YOU.
Finding cafés in small towns.
Finding the perfect parking spot for a bike.
Remembering that some friends aren’t here forever.
Giving a friend a ‘push’ when they need it,
And playing endless jokes on friends when they least expect it!
Helping families in need & showing kids that Bikers are great people too.
Riding with friends, & sometimes their pets.
Knowing when that tattoo happened & why it’s important.
Knowing their family as well as their bike.
Accepting that some of us are ‘old farts’ even when we really aren’t!
Riding ferries, hanging out on beaches, seeing our states’ great sights.
Realizing that some friends will always ‘pose’ for the camera.
Seeing amazing country with great friends, sometimes in snow.
Representing your HOG club in far off places & right here at home.
Honoring fathers & mothers. Honoring friends.
Meeting other riders & sharing stories.
Being part of a larger group than you realized!
Year: 2006
Yep, this is Mike and
Linda
For you newer members, this is the
much beloved and
respected Kono who
we lost but who will
never be forgotten.

ROAD CAPTAIN'S REPORT
This is always a good ride. Lunch will be in Glacier.
May 2013
I know we are all screaming for sunshine so we can get
out and ride. I only wish I could ride. It doesn't matter if it's
raining a little, I enjoy the ride but the sun is always better.
I look back and remember some rides I have been on with
Don, Darcy, Robbie, or Vince and they always were fun
because we were there for the ride, the fellowship, and
making sure we were available at all times for the new
members even if it was raining. I'm hoping after the Road
Captain's meeting we have some good rides for everyone
to enjoy through the summer.
FSR May 4th Rhonda and Marji will be your Road Captains for this ride and the destination is to be announced.
Details on the
June FSR will be
announced later
The June TSR is
the Border Run
and more info will
be provided later.

TSR May 19th will be the Mt. Baker ride with JB and Chet.
They will be filming this ride as they go to Mt. Baker.
by JD “Dizzle” Stewart
Hey all, it’s time to gear up for a big month. We have a
25th Anniversary Party at Skagit H-D on the 18th of
May. Also, we have a big ride coming up at the end of
the month, “The RattleSchnitzen Ride” to Oregon and
Idaho. We all need a big shout-out to all the gals that
helped me pull off a great and fun silent auction for the
Burn Camp. Big thanks go to Sandi, Katie, Cheryl, and
Linda for allowing us to set up the night before. Thanks
also to Marji and my wife Angela for helping and bidding
and keeping me spending my money for the Burn
Camp. Without all their help I would have gone crazy.
Thanks go to Mark for a very fun and soggy Three Island Ride. We had about eight riders show and we
rode through all kinds of weather but throughout all the
weather we had a great time and good food.
We will be looking forward to having a great time at our
25th Anniversary Party at Skagit Harley so please set
the date and time on your calendar to come join your
brothers and sisters help celebrate 25 excellent years
as a Chapter.
Well, there’s not much more to shoot out to you now but
I want to thank you
again for allowing
me to represent
our Chapter as
Activities Officer.
Dizzle
Be safe out
there and
have fun.

Ed’s note: Our Historian Rhonda cut this page from a ten year old newsletter and we apologize for the grainy resolution (you know how scans can be) but it’s a fun look into the past. Yours truly was a member back then and I likely was
at this meeting. Darcy was Director then and Susie Heller, pictured in the center photo, was our (excellent) Editor. Believe me, Kathy and I had big shoes (figuratively speaking) to fill when we took over. Also, at that time, Susie was in
charge of “Blooper Awards” and, as funny as Mark is today in that role, Susie was at least as funny...maybe even funnier if that’s possible! Anyway, bottom line, the Chapter was just as good and fun then as it is today.
IT’S BEEN A VERY GOOD 25 YEARS!
