Director’s Memo
Hello HOG Chapter members! As most of you know by now, we’ll be nominating offic-
ers for calendar year 2018 at the October chapter meeting. I also know that all of you
share with me the sincere appreciation for each and every individual that donated their
personal time to serve as an officer for this past year, and in some cases, for several
years in a row! Thank you all so very much! With the turn of the calendar and change
in officers, we’re sure to experience new ideas and new excitement within the chapter,
and I encourage all of you to please consider volunteering for one of the officer posi-
tions in 2018. It is only with your help and involvement that we can keep the chapter
fun and vibrant and full of good rides with good friends! If you’re even remotely con-
sidering an officers position next year, please contact any of the current officers and let
us know!
And don’t forget, we’ve still got lots of activities to enjoy this year, including the Re-gional HOG Rally in Chandler, an overnight run to Pie Town, NM, a CPR class and an Accident Scene Management class, a Poker Run in support of Breast Cancer Awareness, and much more! So again, please check the calendar on our Yavapai HOG Chapter web site (http://yavapaihog.com/calendar/) frequently so you can stay current on upcoming rides and events that may be of interest to you! We’d really love to have you come out and join us!
And as always, my heartfelt thanks to all of you for everything you do to make this chapter fun! Let’s get out there and do some
ridin’!!

3 LOH Notes
Hello Everyone! Hope you are enjoying end of summer activities
and anticipating the cooler weather!
We’ll have a short LOH and Christmas Party Committee
meeting following the Chapter meeting this month.
I’ve reached out to Rosa’s Pizzeria for catering this year – will
hopefully have some details before the meeting this Saturday.
Need some simple and easy ideas for table decorations that
we can also auction off for our charity giving!
The Christmas party is scheduled for December 9th – so put your artistic and creative caps on for Silent Auction items and dona-tions! Please feel free to send me your ideas and suggestions!
REMINDER – Ladies Garage Party this Saturday, 9/2 @3PM GCHD Mayer – sounds like fun!
Looking forward to seeing you all soon!
RIDE SAFE!

Editor’s Notes Hello Chapter Members and Friends, If you have received the agenda for the September General Membership meeting you should now know that I will not be coming back as the HOGwash Editor for 2018. I have had fun for the last two years as Editor. However, now is the time to pass the torch. So if any chapter member likes to be creative and help keep the chapter membership in-formed please let myself or the Director, Mike McKibben know by the October meeting. Don’t forget that we are still doing the hidden membership number contest. Somewhere in the newsletter are hidden National H.O.G. membership numbers. If you find that it is yours you need to attend the chapter meeting for the month that your number is listed (Sept.), let a chapter officer know where you saw it and you get first shot at one of the door prizes. I hope to hear from you soon!!! Troy Editor, HOGwash

Group Riding Tips
1. At every club meeting, officers should encourage continued rider edu-cation and set the example by organizing and participating them-selves. All riders should be encouraged to improve their riding skills through rider education or a mentoring program, if qualified riders are available to help.
2. Pre-ride meetings must outline the route and rider expectations, con-
tact information and a regroup location should riders get separated. 3. Group ride policies should be somewhat flexible. Take lane position
for example. Typically, lead riders always stay in the left half of the lane and stagger is always maintained, regardless of traffic consider-ations. It would be better for the lead rider to be positioned where vis-ibility is best and escape options are maximized. Riders should not be expected to stay in mandatory positions that compromise safety.
4. When the lead rider repositions, the group should change stagger to
match.

5. Encourage all members to wear All The Gear All The Time(ATGATT). 6. Consider dividing a large group into smaller factions. Large groups can
easily become unmanageable , and too many riders in one formation on the road can restrict the flow of traffic while needlessly making ene-mies of those who see the group as an obstacle. Five groups of ten are far better than one group of 50 and 10 groups of 5 are better yet. Allow several minutes between each group.
7. Never ride twisty roads in a stagger or side by side and allow a space
cushion of at least 2 seconds between riders. The faster the group trav-els, the bigger the gap should be.

Assistant Director’s Notes
Hello Fellow Chapter Members, The official end of summer has come with the Labor Day weekend. However, the riding season is go-ing strong. The chapter calendar has plenty of events listed. Our chapter has an awesome two day Pie Ride to Pie Town, N.M. It is being led by our Head Road Captain Wayne Schwetje. If have never been on a Pie Ride with Wayne you will be in for a real treat on this one. Wayne ALWAYS picks awesome routes to keep it fun and interesting. There several events going on throughout the state, especially in the Phoenix Valley area. Check the internet for info on these events. The West Regional H.O.G. Rally is taking place September 14th through the 16th. It is being held in Chandler, AZ. If you have never been to a H.O.G. Rally this is your chance. This is NOT a state rally, it is a regional rally. H.O.G. has discontinued state rallies, so this might be your last chance for awhile to enjoy a rally in your backyard. Go to the H.O.G. National site for more info about the rally. We as your chapter officers are always open to ideas about events and rides. Let us know what you might want to do, on or off the bike. Saddle Up, Lets Ride!!!!! Troy Assistant Director
Bowling Thunder “RIP:” Due to low participation all future Bowling Thunder events have been
canceled. It may be reviewed in the future and considered for reinstatement.
