1. Welcome to the
Great South Chapter #2505
Weekly 411 September 19th 2010
Help Needed
Monday morning, September 27, 9AM at the HOG Pen to finish preparing the floor for
the final epoxy finish. We will be acid etching and washing the floor. If you have a fan
please bring it in, we need a lot of air circulating in the room. We should be finished
shortly after noon. If you are available we could use the help. Thanks!!

2. HOG Pen Maintenance
Now that the HOG Pen is being used regularly it requires consistent maintenance and
housekeeping. We need volunteers to clean the bathrooms, kitchen and podium. This
program will involve cleaning the HOG Pen twice a month. We are looking for
volunteers to pick a month each and clean the pen. To reward those who volunteer
their dues for the next year will be paid for by the chapter. The chapter will supply the
cleaning materials`. If interested contact Linda Smith @ LOH@greatsouth.com.
Chapter Meeting
It’s that time of the year when the monthly chapter meetings move to Saturday. The
next meeting will be held on Oct. 30 at 5pm. To kick off the Fall/Winter riding season,
the new meeting day and time we will be offering a Low Country Boil. The last time we
did a LCB it was a delicious and great success so come out on Saturday Oct 30th.
2010 GA HOG Rally News
At this year’s GA HOG Rally Great South HOG was recognized as the chapter having
the most people to attend (76) and the most people to volunteer. We also came in 2nd
place in the chapter challenge. Thanks to Pat Greene, JJ Long, Karl McCarthy and Paul
Van Wagner who participated in the grueling challenge. The 2011 rally will be
sponsored by Atlanta HOG and be held in Hiawassee GA.

3. Photos
We have a new patch program for all you picture takers. If you submit 24 publishable
pictures in a year from Great South HOG rides and events you will earn a chapter
photographers rocker for your jacket or vest. All pictures are to submitted to
photo@greatsouthhog.com and be resized to 800x600. If you do not resize your
pictures to 800x600 they will not count and will not be published.
HOG’s TRAVEL
We had a new feature added to the HOG Holler in the past issue titled HOG’s Travel. If
you have taken a trip on your bike, taken pictures and want to tell your story and have it
published. Send your article and pictures to editor@greatsouthhog.com
Chromed Patch
For those of you who collect Chrome Points to get your Chrome patch you only have
until the end of November to get enough points. Remember you have to have points in
all four categories to qualify for your patch. Contact Tim Summers at
activities@greatsouthhog.com to find out how many points you have or need to qualify
for the patch.

4. Reminder GS HOG member’s can only bring a particular guest to rides and/or events a
total of three times. This is a HOG bylaw. After that guest has participated in three
rides/events they will have to join as a full member or associate member of National
HOG and the chapter to participant in more events. These visits will be tracked by the
Activities Director. If you want to sponsor your spouse and children, HOG members can
sponsor multiple associate members.
MSF Advanced Rider Course
This is a special opportunity for only Great South Chapter Members
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 14 TH , 2011 ALL DAY
The Course runs 1 day and is built on the curriculum of the Motorcycle Safety
Foundation® (MSF) Experienced Rider CourseSM Suite. It is taught by devoted MSF and
H-D® Certified Instructors.
The course focuses on improving these skills:
 Control at low speeds
 Risk management
 Limited space maneuvers
 Cornering judgment
 Swerving and stopping quickly on straights and in curves
 Multiple curve maneuvers and surmounting objects
When you're done, you'll earn an Advanced Rider Course pin and patch set, and a MSF
Experienced Rider Course completion card that may qualify you for a discount on
motorcycle insurance. With a couple extra maneuvers, you can earn an endorsement
for M on your DL….
To top it off the course has been deep discounted by GSHD.
It is only $100. AND, you turn in the completed paperwork to mother HOG and receive a
rebate of $50 Harley bucks. WHAT A DEAL.
Here’s the catch – the first 12 riders that get to Kevin Lloyd, register and prepay, are the
lucky participants. But hurry, there are already three signed up as of last Friday.

5. Grillers Needed
Fellow GS HOG members!! Come out and support Great South Harley by donating 3
hours of your time any Saturday to grill hot dogs and burgers. Get to know other HOG
member, recruit new ones to our chapter and talk bikes and rides (exaggerated truths
AKA lies are encouraged). Let Great South Harley know especially Gene and Kevin
that we appreciate how much they support the HOG chapter. I know we all enjoy our
GS HOG discounts and having use of the HOG Pen. This opportunity is available every
Saturday from noon to 3 PM. If you can spare a few hours on Saturday please contact
Tim Summers at activities@greatsouthhog.com and let him know you are willing to
help out. Your support is greatly appreciated!
DINNER RIDE -- GSHD (C) – EVERY THURSDAY, AT 6:30 PM

7. 10/8 Friday Fall Leaf Ride RC Andy Andresen KSU
7:00am 4 pig
We leave GSHD at 7 am on Friday morning and go by the Atlanta H-D pavilion to join
with some old friends. It’s northbound into the Appalachians, embarking on a scenic ride
of your life. This experience includes actually smelling and feeling the mountain air, free
of charge! Enjoy the fall colors in north GA and North Carolina on a 3-day ride through
some of the most beautiful mountains in the country. Mountains and valleys, forests and
glades, wild streams and lakes and peaceful ponds. Perhaps you’ll spot an eagle or
hawk or bear or deer. Have you ever traveled the lesser known Wayah Road?
Dramamine optional…Just imagine the possibilities. Lunch we’ll do at the River’s Edge
in the Nantahala Gorge on day one. We’ll explore the wonders of the Blue Ridge
Parkway on day two. Linville Viaduct, Linville Falls, Grandfather Mountain, the old
parkway and the new. Walk and eat in Blowing Rock and dip into the Linville Gorge
(North Carolina’s Grand Canyon). The third day finds us snaking our path thru Chimney
Rock and Lake Lure before traversing the Foothills Parkway and homeward bound. This
is a 4 pig ride due to the saddle time, distance, twisties, and weather. (There’s always
weather in them-thar-mountains) Due to many requests to leave the routing the same
as last year, I am pleased to do so unless the pre-ride presents a problem. If you wish
to sleep indoors for the two over-nights, 10 rooms at the Super 8 are blocked (they’re
the only act in town that will put up with us noisy riff-raff). All are non-smoking rooms
with two double beds and probably on the rear second floor again like last year. The
rate is $67.45 plus tax. You may be able to upgrade to a king size bed on the first floor
rear for only $5 more if you reserve early. When calling to make your reservation, tell
them it is in the name of HOG CHAPTER, Register the room in your name and on your
credit card.
Call before Friday October 1st to reserve – after that all rooms blocked under HOG
CHAPTER will be cancelled. When the ten rooms are gone they may or may not have
more rooms available. Rates in other nearby motels are between $103 and $139 per
night.

9. 10/9 Sat New Member Orientation Activities Director Tim
Summers
Newcomers Orientation – Open to ALL GSHOG Members! We are proud to offer a
great way for new comers, and any interested ‘older’ members to learn about Great
South Harley Davidson and Great South HOG! On the 2nd Saturday of every 3rd
month we will be hosting a New Member Orientation at the dealership. Meet other new
members and some who have been around the block a few times with GSHOG. We’ll
kick off with Breakfast with a Tech – come share coffee and doughnuts and listen to a
Technician talk about care and maintenance of your favorite ride. After that we’ll get a
tour through the dealership – parts, motor clothes – meet the great people at GSHD
eager to assist you in fulfilling your every motorcycle dream. Then upstairs to the
classroom for a down and dirty on group riding 101, discussion on how HOG runs,
figuring out the calendar, understanding the ‘pig’ ride ratings, learning how to turn your
dream ride into a reality (tell your nearest Road Captain and offer to help plan) and
answer any questions you may have. No orientation would be complete without a ride.
So after learning about group riding, we’ll head outside for a short and easy ride. Our
RCs (road captains for the uninitiated) have promised to share at least one of their rides
around the area that will keep it fun and fresh. We’ll either find food on the ride, or head
back to the dealership for grilled burgers and dogs. Ride rating 1-2 pigs. And after you
have been through the orientation once, feel free to come by for any part of it in the
future. It’s a great chance to meet new members, welcome them into the group, and go
on a ride.

After meeting Steve and fellow HOG riders at the QT at GA 278 & GA 61 in Dallas, we
will ride John's Mountain to the foothills of Lookout Mountain before heading up
Raccoon Mountain for a stop at the TVA Pump Station Reservoir. Further travel takes
us over a one lane road across the top of the reservoir for a spectacular view across
many miles of canyon. Riding across the valley along Hwy 27 towards Suck Creek, we
challenge our riding skills up and down the western face of Signal Mountain.
Warm your soul in the sunshine along the TN River until we reach the southern tip of
Signal Mountain to embrace our tanks for yet another twisty experience. We will pass
the Space Ship house, travel along the main Hwy 127 and down the eastern slope of
Signal Mountain. Stop in Whitwell for some fuel and share our colorful stories. From
here, we head north on Hwy 108 to Gruetli-Laager to be greeted by our last set of
twisties on Hwy 50 through Pelham and Hwy 41S into Monteagle.
Sunday morning we will head to Suwannee University for a bountiful breakfast and a
stop at the Peace Memorial to pray for our fallen and active military.
The return route will take us through TN, northern AL, back onto Lookout Mountain to
visit the Hang Gliders and into Dallas, GA.
