will be sending out

At the January meeting, we welcomed in all
of our new officers for 2015. I want to thank
the new officers for all of the support and enthusiasm. Everyone has jumped in and started planning for this year. All of the officers
met with Sig on Jan 10 to discuss the year in
advance.
As we get started this year, everyone seems to
be excited to start riding again. Although
January weather has not been very inviting, it
only takes a couple hours of sunshine and we
see lots of motorcycles on the road.
Our Road Captains will be meeting in early
February to discuss and plan the rides for this
year. We currently have the First Saturday
and Third Sunday rides planned out through
April. They will be adding to these rides
through the summer and planning some of the
overnight rides as well. Some of the options
we are discussing are starting the rides at different times, as examples, starting a ride after
lunch or having a midweek ride. We want to
schedule rides so more members can participate.
There are currently 4 overnighters we are
working on. First is the Memorial Day
Weekend Ride (known as the FBR) which
would be a 4 day ride, Friday through Monday. This year, the FBR will return to the
traditional route, which includes Lolo Pass.
In June, Vince is discussing his Summer Solstice ride. This date is still in flux. In July,
there is a ride being planned to the Wyoming
State Rally in Sheridan, then continuing to the
Montana State rally in Missoula. These two
rallies are only one week apart, so in between,
there are great possibilities like Yellowstone
Park, Grand Tetons and even Glacier Park.
Dates would be around July 7th–July 19th. In
August, we are planning a ride to Central Oregon. We would ride to Sisters, OR and stay
for 4 nights, with rides from Sisters to Crater
Lake one day, a ride to the coast, Newport,
one day and possible a ride east on the high
desert for one day. Dates look like Aug 5th –
9th. I have also heard of a late summer ride
up through BC which includes Vancouver
Island, with a ferry ride from Port Hardy back
to the mainland and home through BC. With
these events we could have a very exciting
summer. As I said at the meeting, if you have
a favorite ride, short or long, and would like
friends to ride with, let us know and we will
forward the information. There will be signup sheets at the Feb meeting for all of the
overnight rides.
North Cascades Harley-Davidson is again
having a Mileage Contest Jan 1st through Mar
31st. There are 3 prizes this year. Stop in at
the dealership and register your starting mileage. It is not too late to register and win!
On Jan 31st, North Cascades HarleyDavidson is hosting the Men’s Night Out.
This is a great opportunity to get yourself or
your significant other a great Valentine’s gift.
A new motorcycle would make an awesome
Valentine’s Day gift. There will be food,
beer, and a raffle for a great doghouse.
Time will be from 6 to 8 PM.
The Valentine’s Day Party will be on Feb
14th at North Cascades Harley-Davidson.
Finally, remember that the end of February is
the deadline for NCHOG registration. Please
get your dues paid before then. We will be
changing the password for the NCHOG
website on March 1. Membership forms
are included in this newsletter.
See you the Feb. 1st for Sunday meeting.
Ride Safe and stay warm!

The T-CLOCK Inspection worksheet!
T-CLOCK is a mnemonic developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation for assisting you in doing a comprehensive pre-ride (or a pre-purchase) inspection of a motorcycle.
A good start for a new riding season! You can visit the website and print it off, keep
it in your garage near your bike or tuck it in a saddle bag, good to memorize and
know.

The Ladies of Harley Report
Angie Haynes
My name is Angie Haynes, and I’m super excited to be your LOH officer this year!
Some of you may recognize me from North Cascades Harley Davidson or Bellingham
Harley-Davidson where I’ve held several positions over the past 10 years, including
Sales, Finance, Sales Manager, HOG liaison, and now Business Manager. I’m looking forward to being more involved with North Cascade HOG, and will be attending
H.O.T training in Albuquerque at the end of February. I’m excited to learn as much as
I can while I’m there and bring that knowledge back to the chapter. I hope to see all
the ladies at the monthly L.O.H. meeting at Bobs Burger & Brew on Old Hwy 99 in Burlington. The meetings
are the third Tuesday of the month, and start at 6:30pm, but we love to show up at 5:30pm for dinner and chat
beforehand. Looking forward to a fabulous year with all of you!

Riding the FBR
Hope Star
The Flaccid Buns Run was started by Senior Road Captain, Don Carter. There were always a few,
maybe 6-8, hardy soles willing to take off on the 1200 plus miles for a quick ride to Montana and back over
Memorial Day weekend. The route is known for the diagonal sweep across Washington, with some great
blacktop two-lane hidden roads, and then up over Lolo Pass. Anyone that has ridden out of state knows that
Lolo Pass is a ‘must ride’ when you head across Idaho.
My first FBR was in 2005, riding two-up with Paul. That was the ‘hot ride’ where we hit over 100 degrees out of Moses Lake and Don went, non-stop, all the way to Lewiston. Everyone was about dying. I remember seeing ‘Ice Cold Pepsi’ signs as we got near Starbuck, WA….. yep, ICE cold. But we flew by. By
the time we reached Lewiston and the Red Lion Motel most of us were at the point we couldn’t get our legs to
work just to get off the bikes. Several folks had just pulled off and taken a break, but then didn’t know how to
get to the motel. But as we all piled into the restaurant patio for some cold ones and food spirits started to rise.
There’s an inside joke about ‘Flood Lights’ that goes along with that night on the patio.
By 2006 I had gotten a 2006 Deluxe and was ready to take off on the FBR, sort of a trial by fire since I
would be put in number two position with Don Carter leading. This was the year that the weather really didn’t cooperate and we weren’t able to get over Lolo Pass, or to Thompson Falls. We stayed on the west side of
the Bitterroot Range, low but not necessarily dry. Heading into Idaho we passed through a small town getting
ready for a parade. Everyone was lining the main street, waving and smiling. We rode down the main street
right ahead of the parade, lucky for us. After a overnight at Plummer, Idaho, just south of Coeur d’Alene, we
all met in the lobby to look at the weather forecast. Good thing they had nice couches. We hung out waiting
for Roadkills to get info about passes and where the snow was hitting. Our option was to stay low, try to keep
dry and get to Omak. The group photo shows us at Grand Coulee dam. We finally hit Omak where I have one
of my favorite photos of Buzz and Darlene, sitting between two angles.
We did get back over Hwy 20, just ahead of snow hitting and closing the road during a late spring storm. Our
last group photo was at a pit stop between the two passes. Snow surrounded our group, but we were all smiling.
Yes, I think every FBR has memories for many of our riders. Those Ride Determining Moments,
RDMs, that make great ride memories. Those times when later someone will say something really random and
everyone that was on the ride starts to laugh. ~ Hope

North Cascades HOG Is Active
by Bob Tisdal, Activities Officer
Greetings to all brother and sister HOG members. I’m

3rd (Tuesday) we will meet at the Iron Skillet in SedroWoolley and on Feb. 19th (Thursday) the dinner will be at
Bob’s Burger and Brew. The first Saturday ride Feb 7th,
Vince and myself will meet at the dealership by 9:45 and
leave for the Snohomish county area with a lunch planned
ar Roadhouse in Lake Goodwin. Hope to see a lot of
friends on the ride. On Feb 15th, Jan and JD will be leading a ride in the local area with lunch planned at Conway
Tavern. Of course we have our Chapter meeting on Mar
1st and if the weather is good someone may want to lead
a ride after the meeting, never know. Len and Dave are
the road captains for our 1st Saturday ride on Mar 7th.
Destination unknown. Our annual pool shoot tourney is
the next day Mar 8th and it begins with breakfast and the
tourney starts at 10:00am. The Sports Keg is the location

of our members there. The 3rd Sunday ride Mar 15th @ 9
am has Chet and Vince as the road captains, destination
unknown. HOG trough dinner nights are scheduled for
Mar 10th (Tuesday) and Mar 26th (Thursday). If someone
has a hankering for a certain spot for dinner on one of
those nights please let me know and I will arrange it. Bob
HOG Trough Dinner 11/20/14 @ Rhodes River Ranch
Chaplin’s Corner
By Buzz Harrington
I just received my 24th HOG membership packet this
month. My first Harley ride was in 1955 on the handle bars of an iron head 45”. In Aug of 1959, I
bought my first motorcycle, a 1956 BSA Goldstar.
Since that day, in 1959, God has blessed me with a
motorcycle most all of those 56 yrs. Near the back of
the 2015 HOG membership guide, it tells us, “When
you’re out on the road, who you know is everything.”
I believe they’re advising that we get connected with
a good Harley
Davidson dealer, to trust our mechanic, and rely on
H-D Insurance. This is good advice. The Bible tells
us in Psalm 139:1&2 “O Lord, you have searched me
and know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise, you perceive
my thoughts from afar.” You see, God knows us bet-
ter than anyone, our hopes and fears are not new to
him and he also wants us to trust in His guidance and
get to know Him, and believe in Him that everlasting
life might be ours.
Hug your Harley brothers and sisters for we are better
together.
Ride Safe, Buzz

Head Road Captain
Dave Ballard
Hello,
First thing I would like give big thank you to Keith for the hard work he put in last year, I really appreciated it!
There were some great rides last year, probably my favorite was Keith’s Hurricane Ridge picnic ride leading
into an overnight ride around the peninsula because it gave a chance for people to go just for the day or the
weekend. Now in the upcoming New Year, there are lots of multi day rides being planned that many are anxiously looking forward to attending. While you are planning and making preparations for this year’s big adventures, let’s not forget about the first Saturday and third Sunday rides! There are still lots of good roads and
destinations within a few hours ride to be explored.
I will be working hard this year to encourage the Road Captains to think outside the box & look for places perhaps a bit more off the beaten path when planning their rides. A little hard to do perhaps in the winter when we
seem to become trapped in the Skagit Valley Lowlands. but rest assured spring and its warmer days are not
too far distant. I hope we can all work toward making the little ole one day rides a little less predictable and
into something you don’t want to miss out on.
The third Sunday ride this month seemed perhaps to be a bit doomed from the start, it was after all scheduled
for a Seahawks NFC championship game day (to be fair it was scheduled before the Hawks decided to make
the playoffs), and the weather promised to be a bit damp. Then with the sweep coming down with the creeping crud and having to bow out, things did not bode well. Sunday morning arrived and I geared up and headed
for the dealership, expecting a quick trip up and back. As I got off the freeway, I found I was actually following another bike, when we arrived at the dealership, I discovered the bike I was behind belonged to Ron Hubbard, a new member who had purchased his bike at the black Friday sale, and that he had not been at a meeting
or a ride yet. After a bit of visiting the two of us decided to head out for a ride, and yes it was just going to be
the infamous ride around the Skagit Valley, however for Ron, who is new to the Skagit area, these were all
new roads and scenery. Even Mother Nature gave us a break for most of the ride. I look forward to seeing Ron
at the next meeting and riding with him through the year.
Moral of the story, let’s get out and ride – no matter where the ride takes you or how long it is, you never
know what you will find, or who you will meet along the way.
Dave
Editors Notes
Michelle Ballard
Hi,
I had no idea what all was involved with being an editor when I volunteered for this and am sure I still have no
idea. Mike and Vickie have done such an amazing job for many years and I am very thankful he is such a kind
man to help me out with this as I stumble through.
I am really hoping that this will be an opportunity for me to meet a lot of the NCHOG members as I am looking forward to adding more and more stories of favorite rides and fun experiences you have. To do this I need
you to mail your stories to me. You can email them to me at editor@nchog.com, write them down and bring
them to a meeting or even text to them to me 425-359-0880 Pictures and stories wanted! Thanks, Michelle
