Wow! It’s been a busy couple of months! Chapter Overnighter, All
Harley Drags, and Latus Motors’ (our sponsoring dealer’s) 20th

Pacific Northwest weather! Hope your getting lots of miles in riding
your Harley-Davidson motorcycle and having lots of fun while you
are at it! Time now to keep going and hit a great Poker Run, maybe
Street Vibrations in Reno(HOG Pin stop), and chapter rides with
your Rose City friends! Remember to keep an eye on your tires and

August/September 2011
In the early evening of August 17,
2011, a raucous group of Rose City
HOGs gathered at Latus Motors
for a little safari up to Stephanie’s
Café. The leader of this awesome
little group was Carmen Weakland
from John Clark’s Team. Carmen
did a great job on this route and
promised that we would “not go
away hungry!” Tim Doty served
as the Safety Officer for the troop
and off we went on a few little back
roads on the way to Sandy. The
group drove through the Carver
area, took the back road off the
Estacada highway into Sandy and
parked all our bikes out in front of
the restaurant. As normal, the Rose
City HOG gang tend to always be
in great spirits; or maybe they were
just hungry.
Inside Stephanie’s there was a back
room that was reserved for our
group. This was very special and
allowed us to be our normal selves
amongst other deviant motorcycle
fanatics. Everyone ordered, and
Carmen said “you won’t believe
how much food will be delivered.”
She was correct! Out came the
salads that Carmen and her husband
had ordered basically on platters.
They didn’t know whether to eat it
or climb it. Then a chicken fried
steak arrived, also on a platter, and
the steak itself looked like a Frisbee
it was so large. The burgers arrived,
and like the salads earlier they
were huge. No way was anyone
going to go away hungry; it was
virtually impossible. Personally, I
had never been to Stephanie’s Café
but after this event, I will be going
back! Next time, though, I will
order one order and split it with my
wonderful wife.
Great job on the ride Carmen;
undoubtedly some super pictures
from Tom Matthis and wonderful
fellowship with the gathered mass
of RCHOGs.

2011 Salem HOG
Poker Run
Kerry Matthis
My husband, Tom, and I looked forward
to riding in the 2011 Salem HOG Poker
Run. We had missed it for the last few
years. The calendar was clear, and we were
hoping the weather would stay that way,
too. Rick Loewen formed a small group
to ride to the Salem Harley-Davidson
dealership, start-point for the poker run.
We made plans to meet him in the New
Copper Penny parking lot. New Rose
City HOG members, Lee and Melanie
Sprague (long-time friends of Rick’s),
were there, and Rick brought his nephew,
Travis Loewen. We knew that we would
see a lot of great scenery later in the day,
so decided to take the quick route, I-5, to
Salem. That way we could get signed-in
and grab a donut and watch the arrival of
the official Rose City HOG group, riding
in from Latus.
Tom led the small group to Salem. We
quickly paid our money, got registered,
drew our cards, and grabbed our donuts.
Not long after, the Rose City HOG riders
roared in. They were quite a sight!
We decided to get started, and Tom
would be the leader. When we do a ride
with printed directions, I hold the paper
and read it to Tom. I always like to take
two copies of the directions, one to hold,
and one to keep in the bag, just in case the
first one blows out of my hand.
The ride took us on rural back roads to
Champoeg State Park. The sky was clear
and blue, and the temperature was not
too cool or too warm. As we passed by
Butteville, Tom and I reminisced about
the fabulous BBQ lunch that Rose City
HOG was treated to when we rode in
the relay celebrating Oregon’s 150th
birthday on July 4. 2009. Best of all was
the homemade pie. Wish we’d had time
to stop for some!
Champoeg Park was a great place to
stop. There was lots of good parking, nice
restrooms, and snacks and drinks to buy.
It felt good to stretch my legs. We drew
our cards, and got directions for the next
part of the ride.
This part of the ride took us through
Newberg to McMinnville. It was great
to see so many fields of crops growing,
and fruit orchards, too. The clover field
we passed smelled so rich and sweet, just
like the honey it would flavor someday.
Another field smelled of fresh mint.
Mmmm...
Soon, we were at our second stop, the
Evergreen Aviation Museum. I loved
the driveway painted like a runway.
Since I grew up next to Air Force bases,
I particularly enjoyed seeing the military
planes. Good parking and facilities made
this a good stop, too. We drew our cards
and got our directions. We took a little
time to visit in the parking lot – a few
people wanted to see (hear ) how loud the
horn on our bike is.
The next leg of our journey took us 40
miles through beautiful rural areas to
Rogue Ale’s Hopyard in Independence.
We saw the hops growing, and I enjoyed
their names – freedom, independence,
and maverick. We drew our cards, and got
our directions for the last leg of the trip.
We cooled off in the shade of the trees,
and visited for a while.
Soon, we were back on the road, and only
about 30 miles to finish. Somewhere,
somehow, we got on the road less traveled.
As we first headed towards the Hopyard,
we encountered lots of riders going the
opposite way. I kind of wondered why we
didn’t see many riders as we started back,
but I thought maybe we were some of the
last riders. And why didn’t the name of the
road we were on match up with any that
were on the directions About the time we
were starting to think we might be “lost,”
Rick said he was getting low on gas. He
decided to stop at a farmhouse and ask if
he could buy some gasoline. Nobody was
home except the chihuahuas. He flagged
someone down and got directions to the
nearest gas station. After taking care of
our fuel needs, we decided to forget about
trying to find out where we went wrong,
skip the rest of the ride, and go directly
to the end of the ride. The end of the ride
was at the Salem Elks Lodge. Did anyone
in our group know where that was No.
The gas station attendant didn’t know,
either. He directed us to the Elks Lodge
in Independence. Maybe somebody there
would know – except that there wasn’t
anyone there. Tom has a GPS, but it
needed a street address to guide us there.
I suggested going back to Salem HarleyDavidson, and perhaps someone there
could direct us to the Elks Lodge. Wait a
minute, though, Lee and Melanie had an
iPhone. Melanie used it to get the street
address for the Salem Elks Lodge, and
then Tom programmed the address into
the GPS, and we were on our way.
We drew our final cards, turned in our
hands, and got in line for lunch. Some
folks were trying to get us to volunteer to
play one of the games, but we begged off. I
was feeling a bit bad for not participating,
but a little better after I saw the game. I
would have died of embarrassment to be
handed a frozen pair of underwear and
told to put them on!
After lunch and games, it was time for the
prizes. Lots of nice things to win, but the
best prize of the day was the plaque that
Rose City HOG won for the Chapter
Challenge

The National
2011 Patriot
Flag Tour
By: Jerry Stanley
Once again, The Nation of Patriots is
organizing an effort on a national scale
that will act as a massive tribute to, and
in honor of all of America’s Armed
Forces - Past, Present, and Fallen. This
effort is known as The Patriot Tour.
We’re launching this national effort for
the members of our military to show
America’s support, our thanks, and our
united pride. It will consist of passing
a great symbol throughout the country.
It’s a symbol that all American’s see
every day and that unites us all. It’s the
very foundation of this symbol and all
it represents that our brave men and
women in the military have stood and
died defending, continue to stand and
protect, and will forever fight for. That
symbol is the US flag.
The Patriot Tour is an annual event and
will start this year on Saturday, May
28th of 2010 at 10:30am in the parking
lot of Wisconsin Harley-Davidson
Oconomowoc, WI. With the help of
many thousands of proud Americans,
the Patriot Tour and the American Flag
will end right back in Wisconsin on the
Saturday before Labor Day during the
Wisconsin Bike Rally.
What an honor it was for Don Coen
(Rose City HOG Chapter Member)
to be asked two years in a row to
transport this historical flag of honor
to Kennewick, Washington. This event
took place on October 9th about 10:00
AM at Latus Motors Harley-Davidson
Dealership. With a full military honor
guard, the Historical Flag of Honor was
presented to Don Coen and placed on
his Harley Davidson Motorcycle. The
ceremony included military and Patriot
Guards. Including military vehicles
from World War II and a channel-12
news team covering this great event.
About 10:30 AM Don Coen left Latus
Motors with the flag proudly flying in
the wind. There were about a dozen
motorcycles accompanying him on
this celebrated event to Kennewick,
Washington.
Our first stop was a rest-stop just on
the other side of Hood River, Oregon.
Here we took a short break and
stretched our legs before getting back
on Interstate 84. Just before we left one
man and his daughter (about ten years
old) came up to us and asked if that was
the Patriot Flag going around the USA.
When Don told him it was, The man
replied, that he had been reading about
it and told us he was very glad to get to
see it in person.
Now we were back on the road and
headed for Biggs Junction, Oregon.
Here we would fuel-up our motorcycles
and crossover the Columbia River
in to Washington. After we got gas,
we met a young man in the parking
lot that had just mustered out of the
military. He was riding a motorcycle
all painted in a desert khaki color with
military terminology on the paint.
Huge bags were strapped on the back
of the bike. The bags were so high I
though the machine might be a little
top heavy. This man looked to be in his
late twenties and told us that he was
in a race. The Hoka-Hey Motorcycle
Challenge. The objective of the race,
ride from the Pacific to the Atlantic
10,000 miles all 48 states and be the
winner. He was quick to see our Rose
City HOG patches on the back of
our vests and pulled out his vest from
a large pack on the back of his bike to
show us he was from the Fort Worth,
Texas HOG Chapter. He got out his
camera and took pictures of our vest
and the Patriot Flag. Before he left you
could tell by the look in his eyes that
he was glad to have met some Rose
City HOG member from Oregon and
crossed paths with the Patriot Flag.
Now we were headed up HWY 14 on
the Washington side of the Columbia
River to a truck scale on HWY 82 just a
few miles north of the Columbia River.
Here we were to meet some members
from the Rattlesnake Mountain HOG
Chapter along with a County Sheriff
that gave us a red light escort (about 22
miles) to the Kennewick, Washington
Harley Dealership where the flag
ceremony would take place.
As we arrived at the dealership, lots
of people were waiting to see the flag
arrive. The dealership had some lunch
ready for us and after a hot dog or
two it wasn’t long before the transfer
ceremony of the Patriot Flag was under
way. After Don Coen presented the
flag to the dealership everyone took a
one minute of silence to pray for the 31
Navy Seals that lost there life in service
for our country.
Most everyone stayed the night in
Kennewick and would head back
home in the morning. Some would go
their own way and others rode back as
a group. I went with the group and we
rode to Goldendale, Washington on
back roads. We had a lot of fun and
only had to backtrack one time when
we ran out of blacktop road into gravel
in the middle of nowhere. Oh well,
we finally made it to the little town of
Bickleton, Washington and stopped at
the Bluebird Tavern, a very interesting
place. After lunch we headed on to
Goldendale to refuel and head down
the Klickitat River canyon to Lyle,
Washington on the Columbia River.
This is where we ended up back tracking
about seven miles to the bridge crossing
August/September 2011

Rose City HOG
the river over to the Dalles, Oregon.
From here we would head south to
Dufer and stop to get an ice cream cone
and stretch our legs.
As we sat eating our ice cream cones,
Paul Wickersham told us his friend he
meet in a GTO club had the old bank
building across the street. We noticed
that the door to the place was open,
most of us got a good look inside.
When I looked in I could not believe
what I was seeing. On the left wall up
high there were three rows of buck deer
mounts all the way to the back of the
room, about 50 feet deep. On the right
side of the room there were two rows of
antelope mounts going all the way back
as well and at the end of the room were
nice trophy mounts. The next room
was a old bank that still had the large
vault door. Paul’s friend, told him he
had rebuilt the bank teller cages just
like they use to be in the old days. On
the floor in front of the teller cage were
huge piles of antlers, hundreds of them.
Wow, what an interesting place to see.
Back on the road again and this time we
chose to ride Dufer Mill road heading
west right towards Mount Hood. This is
a remote forest road, no house or power
poles. Very scenic, with the mountain
right at the end of the road. Well
anyway, that is what it looks like when
you ride it. At the end you take a left on
to HWY 35 around the mountain to
HWY 26 and then into Portland.
We had a great time and all were very
proud to have been part of the Historical
Patriot Flag Ride from Portland,
Oregon to Kennewick, Washington.

Rose City HOG
Rally ‘Round the Sawtooths
By Tim Doty
The Idaho State HOG Rally was
hosted by the High Desert HarleyDavidson in Meridian, Idaho.
This was a tremendous event held
July 7-9, 2011, with rides circling
out of Meridian/Boise to several
outstanding mountain retreats. I
had the opportunity to first of all
get some time off work, which is
a miracle, and then to travel the
distance over to Boise. With my
old-style Harley there are always a
few little hiccups along the way, for
instance losing the main shifting
rod from foot pedal to the shifter
into the transmission on Interstate
84; but with duct tape, or is that
DUCK tape, I managed to fix it
until it could be repaired. When
I did arrive at the High Desert
location on July 7th the bike was
doing well and I was thirsty. It
seems that most of my riding has
been through snow lately, so warm
weather was a treat and I hydrated
immediately.
A large HOG crowd were already
getting registered, eating food,
drinking water, and filling in their
names for the feature ride the next
day up to Stanley, Idaho. This
dealership was humming with
activity and I met many new friends
from Utah, Colorado, Canada,
and points East in the line. They
too had ridden quite a few miles
and were in need of a drink and a
time to meet other HOG friends.
With the many vendors outside,
the live band, and other activities
this was a great experience. I also
managed to buy a couple High
Desert T-shirts to seemingly add to
my collection. For the feature ride,
the rally committee had decided on
the sign up for the Stanley ride to
usher out about 20 bikes the next
morning every 15 minutes. This,
I thought, was very smart and
stopped the rush of 300 plus HOG
folk jamming up the highway.
The next morning each group of
riders met in specific locations
around the High Desert parking
lot and got organized for the trip.
This was a 350 mile round trip
through some fantastic twists that
also featured a lot of rocks on the
road. It was important to stay alert
on this route. I met my group and
immediately they noticed I had a
Safety Officer patch on my coat
and instantly I became the same
for the balance of the ride. The
trip took off appropriately and
we began to climb after about 10
miles and would continue to climb
nearly all the way to Stanley. The
canyons were nearly endless and
we had some major boulders in
the road; it was important to ride
single file in several places. We
did eventually pop out to see the
Sawtooths from the western side
and that was stunning. So many
people think that there is nothing
but sagebrush from the Cascades
to the Rockies but that certainly is
not true on this day. After our brief
look into the Sawtooths we kept on
climbing making a large right turn
and dropping down on the valley
to the east of these mountains and
the view was even more powerful.
Large, jagged peaks complete with
snow just dominating the entire
horizon to the west. You will notice
some of what this looked like in the
pictures but it was just not the same
as actually being there soaking up
the glory of this setting.
We all parked our bikes at Redfish
Lake Lodge Resort and enjoyed a
meal under the huge tent. Virtually
the entire group at this State
Rally went on this ride; hence,
the various grouping of bikes to
keep the flow through the lines to
a minimum. I enjoyed the lunch,
took some pictures, and we loaded
up the bikes and headed back down
the mountains into Boise. One
of the pictures details my “little”
group, and all of them were fun to
be with!
Activities at High Desert included
the various rides, either guided or
unguided, and the entertainment
and hilarity of the closing act.
Kip Attaway was the cowboy,
comedian, singer, song writer,
musician, and he was perfect for
our austere group. This rally was an
awesome event at a very wonderful
dealership.
It was time to return to Portland and
I decided to avoid the Columbia
Gorge going west due to the element
of wind. I know I got over 80
miles to the gallon going east but it
would be doubtful if I could get 30
going west. So, I opted to turn off
at Baker City take Hwy 7 around
to Hwy 26 and follow that route
all the way back to Portland. This
was a wonderful trip passing four
major wilderness areas right along
the highway, and seeing a fair share
of animal activity. I might add that
I saw about 30 deer either dead or
alive, 4 elk, a bear beside the road,
several rodents of various shapes
and sizes, and multiple rattlesnakes.
But the views enjoyed, the people I
met, and the experience are etched
in my mind for many years to come.
Thanks for joining me on this little
adventure; I wish you could have
been with me.

The “Coastal Trek”
August 6-7, 2011
By: Tim Doty
This coastal overnighter based in Hammond, Oregon,
turned out to be a tremendous opportunity to sort of
“get away from it all.” Anticipating that the runners/
walkers with the SHOC program going on at Latus
Motors; the switch down to High Rocks turned out to
be a positive help in setting up the ride. While there
are several “normal” ways to get down to Astoria
(Hwy 30 or Hwy 26), the route chosen was to utilize
the middle route, which is where many of the Hood
to Coast runners actually travel in their safari. This
was a great choice and allowed for lots of turns, a
slower pace to the journey and also a great opportunity
to share with the group. A total of 16 motorcycles
participated, along with 22 riders/passengers. Also,
another “passenger” for the shorter little treks met the
group at Buoy 9 for lunch and shared in the weekend.
Each motorcycle received a routing sheet, a “what
to do” listing, and maps of Hammond/Astoria with
locations of each item. There were some tremendous
options for activities.
After the initial routing over the freeways 205, 5, Hwy
217 and Hwy 26; it was a relief to get to Cornelius
Pass Road going north. In attempting to formulate
the travel time down to Astoria, I sort of had to take
a more direct route to gain some time otherwise this
HOG chapter would have been eating at 3 p.m. After
the pit stop at the Shell Station next to McDonalds in
Scappoose, the group ventured off Hwy 26 just at the
north end of Scappoose and began the long trek through
the backwoods to the coast. There are always deer on
this road by the way, as well as a number of people in
our group evaluating the leading Road Captain/Safety
Officer (Tim Doty) for roads selected, when some
gravel parts were discovered. After some stops, some
viewing of elk in the wildlife refuge, and travel, the
group arrived at Buoy 9 for lunch.
Tim reviewed that now it was basically “free” time
to explore quite a range of options for the afternoon.
With the variety of museums in Astoria, the Seaside
Aquarium, the beach, gun emplacements, and even the
continuing Clatsop County Fair going on; there was
plenty to do. This was a smart choice since it appeared
everyone had a different agenda in their mind and set
about to enjoy the rest of the day. Some; however,
chose to just sit around in the KOA Campground
and fall asleep, I believe they were too exhausted to
experience any more and enjoyed the quiet part of the
day. The KOA “gully” where a number of RC HOG
members slept was very quiet; and that was a relief!
The leader and his wife, did take off to the Columbia
Maritime Museum along with two other cycles and
enjoyed that experience. There was a lot to see in that
museum and a full two hours might have been more
appropriate. I know personally being on the ships in
the movie coming into the Columbia Bar and going
out, and getting seasick, it was nice to stand up and do
something different for a minute or two. We also got
on the Columbia Coast Guard ship, which is docked
right beside the museum. The next event was going
over the Astoria-Megler Bridge into Washington. That
was a special treat on this sunshiny day, and enjoying
the Ilwaco, Washington, port with recently caught tuna,
incoming boats, and a chance to just walk around.
While this was our afternoon experience, each of the
23 folk in attendance all had an event to share.
The Sunday morning set up was to include gassing up
the cycles, eating breakfast and preparing to leave the
KOA Campground at 9:30. All were ready and away
we went. There were some choice picture opportunities
along the way with Rosa Giorgini capturing the balance
of RC HOG team just north of Cannon Beach. Another
location at the top of Neahkahnie overlook allowed for
the southern view to be captured digitally. I know Jerry
Stanley, one of the RC HOG photo guys, basically
walks around with a lens sticking out of his right eye,
and may have given Claudia, the Town Crier editor, a
couple hundred pictures as the result!
After another little potty stop, the group continued on
to the Tillamook Country Smoker where it appeared
that every bike bought food; and some bought a lot
of food. While it is cheap, it will be interesting to
know if they ate the large balance of the pepperoni
August/September 2011

all at once! At this point, some of the group needed
to hustle on back to Portland area for jobs that night
and other dimensions to their lives and the group sort
of split up. I suggested Alice’s Restaurant up Hwy 6
out of Tillamook for some to enjoy in their trip, which
some did and thought it was superb; while others ate
in different locations. I realize the variety of jobs and
commitments that everyone has; so this was not a
bad time to release some home before all of the other
Coastal Trek activities were completed.
continued on the Trek to the Forest Interpretive Center
outside Tillamook. When we arrived there Jerry
Stanley and his friends were already in attendance
enjoying the Center. This is a special place describing
the Tillamook burn, the replanting of trees, in a replica
of a forest guard station. My father, who grew up in
Tillamook, told me about the Tillamook burn, being
involved in the replanting of the forest, and finally how
the final burn in 1951, the firefighters were able to stop
the blaze from what they had learned previously.
Four motorcycles now continued on the Trek with
a stop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory, which was
VERY BUSY; and then on to the Tillamook Air
Museum. While at the Air Museum we enjoyed some
hamburgers, the best in Tillamook, and prepared for
the last leg of the journey. Two of the bikes headed
south to Hebo and around to Salem on their way home
led by Don Coen. With now only two cycles left, we
The leader of this pack wants to thank all that joined on
the Coastal Trek. Ron Mariani and his wife, Sharon,
who served as the Safety Officer and drag bike. Gregg
Lindsey who road up front on the initial route over the
coast range. And also the Road Captains from other
teams who joined in keeping the group together. It was
a privilege to be a part of this wonderful event.

Treasurer’s
Report
By Marc Gibson
Rose City HOG Treasurer
It’s been a while since we have reported to the chapter
concerning the rchog account. Been gone as most
know on a cross country road trip back to the Vietnam
Wall in D.C. then south into North Carolina and beyond
plus we skipped a newsletter.
From the
LOH Desk of
Terrie Marshall
Well our summer is coming to an end . . . just about the time
it finally got started!! We did have some fabulous riding
weather, and I know lots of our Rose City folks put some
good miles on their bikes! Our Road Captains have done
a great job on the chapter rides, still taking us on roads we
have never been on!! Of course we still have September
and October, September being my favorite month...even
though it means that I’m back to work driving the kiddies
to and from school.
Latus Motors H-D has had tons of things going on this
summer, make sure to head over there as they put the
summer stuff on sale and put out the newest in cooler
weather apparel. The new 2012 bikes are pretty hot too!
October 1 and 2, I will be attending 2011 Ladies of Harley
Summit in Vancouver at the Red Lion. I’ll be attending
classes with lots of other LOH officers from Washington
and Oregon. I’m looking forward to learning how other
LOH’ers operate.
Next business up would be our yearly “PARTY”. . . any
thoughts . . . Winter Party - Summer Party . . . what would
YOU like to do. Let me know your thoughts on this subject..
soon!
Enjoy the rest of your summer!
The balance as of right now is about $5350 but I know
there are a few bills yet needing to be covered.
Our 50/50 sales at meetings and rides have slowed down
and that could be a result of our economy that has taken a
spiral downward. But we are still holding our own at this
time and I’ll continue to work hard for the chapter and the
Treasurer’s position.
The chapter 50/50 at the last meeting was $130 to the
winner and unfortunately I don’t have the winners, name
but my congratulations go out to them.
Looks like the progressive jackpot will be $140 next month
so be sure to be at the meeting to get in on the drawing.
Hope to see you all at the meeting next month.
