Message from the Director
Finally, the weather is starting to warm up and we can start getting ready for riding season. We are close enough to the season now that it is time to think about uncovering the
bike and getting it ready for the warm days ahead. You do not want to get a call from a
friend on a warm day and have to miss a riding opportunity because the battery is not
charged or the bike needs serviced. With Daytona behind us, it is a good time to contact
the Service Department and schedule service so the bike is ready when you want to ride.
In addition, our first official ride of the season will be a Dealer’s Choice Ride which is
planned for after our first meeting in April. Please remember, the April Chapter meeting
will be held on Saturday, April 2. The Dealership is providing breakfast at 8:30 and the
meeting will start at 9:00. We will leave the Dealership about 10:30 for a short, but scenic, ride that will end up in Sheridan at the Red Onion.
In March several of us participated in the first HOG Chapter bowling challenge. It
was an evening of fun and camaraderie, and our Chapter had the highest average for the
night. The event was also a fund raiser for MDA. Look for another bowling challenge
to be scheduled for later this year (when the weather turns cold again).
We had a great turn-out at the March Chapter meeting and we also had a visit from our
advertiser of the month which was Castleton Trophy & Gift. They provided free pens to
those in attendance (some will also be available at the April Chapter meeting) and provided us with a door prize that was given away after the meeting. Please thank them by
supporting them when you need trophies, engraving, or gifts.
The Dealership also held a spaghetti lunch and fund raiser for breast cancer awareness
on March 21. Several people brought in a lot of good food. In addition, a lot of spaghetti was provided by Bob Evans. The event also included a band, contests, and for a
cloudy and rainy day everyone had a great time. We also raised about $400 for breast
cancer awareness.
In addition to the Dealer’s Choice Ride scheduled for April, we also have a New Riders
Orientation Ride scheduled for the 23rd. The New Riders Orientation Ride is for new
members who have not rode in groups before, or members who want to freshen up their
skills. The final ride in April will be the Chapter Breakout Ride which is scheduled for
the 30th. Please contact Sid Lewis if you plan to attend the Breakout Ride so we can
make reservations. Suggested rides and activities continue to flow in and are being
scheduled on our Chapter calendar. If you have suggestions for future rides please contact Sid Lewis to get them on the activities schedule. Stay warm and if you are riding,
please ride safe,
Ed.

Message from the Assistant Director
IN State Hog Rally: One room remains available at the host hotel. Please contact me if interested. We will have a
Rally representative at the April 2, 2005 meeting to answer any questions. Please plan to attend.
About the "New Rider's Orientation Ride" on April 23, 2005, 11:00 A.M:
From personal experience, it's a good thing to know something about what's ahead of you, when with others. On one of
my first group adventures, the rider in front stuck out his/her right leg. Thinking he/she might be merely stretching a
cramp, or something else irrelevant to me, I happily rolled into one our finest springtime potholes, bottomed out, and put
a blemish on front fender. Could that signal perhaps have been a warning? With this in mind, the following illustration, lifted from our recent "Hog Tales", is submitted to help acquaint the new riders with the group riding signals on,
perhaps, their first "group ride."

ad.
Check-out Impressions Graphics, Signs, & Designs ad. And, thank you Shelly & Chuck Wallace for donating the beautiful clock for our March meeting raffle!

Thanks to All
By Beth Bay
Big Thanks
I hope you all had as much fun as we did at the
dealership.
We raised $730.00 for Breast Cancer in honor of
Judy Lane. She's the sweetest woman. The Pink
Ladies of Fishers are going to do the Walk for
Breast Cancer on April 16th in honor of Judy Lane.
The food was great, the best yet.
Big Thanks to everyone:
Bob Greicco, Mike Weiss, Mike Hoffman, their
salads were wonderful. Ted Ellis brought salad that
didn't make it out of the fridge. The spaghetti
dishes were unbelievably delicious. My buddy Bert
Rattermann was the best server and first to spot her
white sweater with sauce.
Big Thanks to Sherri Hammer for her help.
Paulette Bowen, Donna Dellen, Rachael Dailey
and Jim Tresize made some mean spaghetti. The
Desserts were out of this world. Carolyn James is
serious on being Chef Betty Crocker. John Goodall
and Shani Zucker, your pumpkin pies were incredible. The breads by Vicki and Luke Payne killed the
donated bread sticks.
We need to Thank Bob Evans , Fazoli's, Camilles
and Hooters for all the gift certificates and food
they donated. If I forgot anybody I'm sorry but my
sign up sheets have spaghetti all over them. A little
hard to read, I think I forgot Jim and Dee Brown
and Abby and Randy Brockelman,Steve, Logan
and Reese but I can't remember.
Hope everyone is coming to the 2nd year of the
Salsa and Nacho Cheese Contest. It's for St. Mary's
Child Center.
Hey I have a silver bowl that had the greatest
salad in it. I would like the recipes, so we can share
the knowledge of the best of the best biker cooks.
all looked good in pink.

The MDA Bowling challenge
We Won! We have the trophies too!
Indy West started off by winning first high score
( Bob Culp )
The second game our own Phil Frazier bowled
in the 200s and it just got better
Mary Jane , Barb, Dee and Carolyn and Ashley
and Sherri were hot! The guys were great too.
We won by 18 points. How did we judge this, we
took the top 10 scores.
I wish we could have raised more money for
MDA, But the MDA people had a wonderful
time.
I'm very proud of my fellow employees and their
beautiful spouses. Poor Southside didn't have
the game but they had a ball trying to beat us.
Big Thank you for everything hope you had as
much fun as Jim and Patti and I had. Better luck
next time! I love the Hartshorne Men, Mike Hoffman you are a sweetie Plus you won the
Screaming Eagle Plaque
Thank You
Best Wishes

Thank you for coming and making me so very
proud of you all. You make my job easy, but don't
