We send one a week. Check out our Facebook page to see what is happening on a daily basis and to look for new photos. Kevin Jones LAHDA 2 From Behind The Desk– Words From Our Director Frank Storms Director Greetings Fullhogsters, I will keep it short this month; everything is progressing nicely with our chapter and the folks at Mid Cities. We have an outline somewhat formatted so that we can get both boards together and iron things out for next year. Stay tuned for further information. What I would like everyone to do, is to submit to me your suggestion for a new name for the chapter for the 2013 campaign and on into the future. If you think you have a good one, get it to me via email so that I can track who submitted what, as there may be a nice prize if yours is chosen to be on the top rocker next year. Greg Jones (Director) at Mid Cities is doing the same thing with his chapter. I was going to mention how beneficial it was for me and several others on our board to have attended H.O.T. (HOG Officer Training) in San Diego the beginning of the month. You will see Wynn has that base covered. Thank you to those of you taking the time to partake in the learning experience, Wynn Hornburg, Cheryl Sincock, Frank Saldana, John Woodward, Lyle Wong, Denice Storms, Marilyn Seaman, and Eva Raleigh. So get out there and ride your Harley and hey, let’s have “Fun” doing it. Don’t forget, here at So Cal Fullerton HOG, “We don’t meet the competition, we create it”. Frank Storms Director 3 Notes From the Assistant Director Wynn Hornburg Assistant Director Greetings to All, Just a short note this month to pay homage to our parent organization, “Harley Owners Group, USA”. Every year our national organization, H.O.G. USA, provides “Officer Training” for every Chapter through-out the USA. This training is nicknamed “HOT”, Harley Officer Training. I must say this was one of the most rewarding weekends I have spent in a very long time. It was two full days packed with valuable information to help us promote the riding experience we all enjoy! Every class radiated the passion we have for “Harley Davidson” and the sport of riding. During the opening session we were introduced to the most important members of H.O.G. family, the participating “Chapter Officers”, numbering over (900) nine hundred strong. These individuals came from distant locations, riding all the way from Florida and the most northern State of Alaska. They road their bikes this distance to renew their understanding of the goals set out by National H.O.G. We were also introduced to a passionate “key staff”. These were going to be our instructors who would be helping us build our knowledge during the next two days. Every seminar provided time to network with other Chapter Officers across the Country. This networking time was designated as 50% of the training, sharing leadership resolutions to many common management difficulties! All this training was focused on keeping our Chapters focused on the key objectives, “Riding and having Fun”, the hallmark of National Harley Owners Group and every local Chapter. 4 The seminars included the following topics:t Ask a H.O.G. Manager Connect Through Social Media Craft Media for Print & Media Create Compelling Messages Find & Retain Volunteers Handle Conflict Lead and Delegate Make a Dealer Alliance Make Membership Stick Manage Finance Essentials Manage Risk Essentials Master Advanced Finance Master Advanced Risk Pass the Torch Produce Remarkable Events Rev Up New Riders Secrets of Successful Officers Work with Powerful Personalities The above training was totally on track with our Chapters daily operations, helping us provide the best experience to each and every “Chapter Member” and maintaining a strong working relationship with our Dealerships. This is an excellent time to recognize our affiliation, not only the Harley Davidson Product, but the very integrity of the Parent Company and their commitment to continue their support of the network of Chapters. Please know I am proud to be a part of this organization and will continue to “live to ride” with you in the best dam Chapter around! Thanks for your time, Wynn Hornburg Assistant Director, Fullerton HOG 5 THE SAFETY ZONE Frank Saldana Safety Officer Hello all you HOGs! I would like to talk about the subject SEE – Scan, Evaluate , Execute. Scanning is looking down the road for potential problems - like cars in the intersection or the car next to you - is that driver paying attention? Most likely not. To use short examples: road hazards, ladders, tire caps (known as alligators), people, from cars on the side of the road to animals, they are all potential hazards. Evaluate each situation and think, “what position of the lane should I move to?”; “Is that car getting ready to move in my lane?”, or “is that stray dog ready to cross in my path?” To evaluate is spotting an object on the road and identifying the hazard . Execute. “What's my out? How am I going to go around this safely and easily?” Each situation is different. I was talking to a retired State Trooper motorcycle cop - he claims that 95 percent of motorcycle accidents could have been prevented if they would have only been scanning the road. I was amazed with that statistic. Did you know it takes 30 days of consistently doing something before it becomes a habit? How about scanning the road consistently - that's a habit I can deal with. Remember, we ride staggered formation; use your hand signals and make sure your motorcycle maintenance is up to date. By the way, I want to share with you some pictures of my friend’s father. After World War II, this old timer was a motorcycle daredevil and race rider. Check out their activities - deer hunting on the backs of their motorcycles, somewhere in the middle of Grand Junction, Colorado. WOW! Take care and I’ll see you all on the road.
