It is so hard to believe the
Christmas season is upon us. We want to wish each and everyone of
you a very “Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year”. Our Chapter
Christmas Party is Saturday December 4th at the Gavin Employees
Club. We plan to meet at the Employees Club at 9:00 AM to decorate
on Saturday morning and get things ready. The kids party will be
from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. You will need to bring a gift for Santa
to give to each of the children you bring. The Chapters adult
party begins with dinner at 6:30 PM, the Chapter will furnish the
meat and rolls and everyone is to bring a covered dish (with
something in it, preferably food of some type). Tom Payne will
provide the music from 7:30 PM to 10:30 PM for the evening. The
Secret Couples will be revealed and if you want to get in the gift
exchange, a man is to bring a man’s gift and a woman is to bring a
woman's.
Chapter C2 will be having their Christmas Party on Sunday December
5th for friends and family, the dinner will be at 1:00 PM at
McKenzie Center Gallipolis OH. Our final dinner ride this year
will be December 11th at the Cool Spot in Coolville OH.

Safety Topic
|
This months Safety Topic is:
Close the gap between your jacket and helmet with an inexpensive
fleece neck warmer. It deflects bugs and rocks, blocks that cold
draft in spring and fall, and can help reduce sweat evaporation
(and possible dehydration) on hot summer days. They are cheap,
comes in colors to match your gear, and available wherever outdoor
equipment is sold.
Also be careful when group riding, always ride in a staggered
formation and keep a safe distance from the bike in front of you.
Crowding your buddy in front can lead to lack of reaction time and
the possibility of an accident.

Paul, Linda, Nancy and I attended
the officers meeting in Columbus OH on November 19th & 20th. Our
own Paul Darnell won the Buckeye Rally Logo Contest for 2005. The
theme for this year was “Wings In The Valley”. He took 1st place
out of 17 entries. He and Linda will get in the Buckeye Rally
free, and each will receive a Buckeye Rally Tee Shirt, a Rally Pin
and a Plaque. WAY TO GO PAUL… The winning logo is below:
This was the first officers meeting with Roger & Penny Hurley &
Staff as the new State Directors. They all did a fine job and
their motto is “Let The Fun Continue” and we are sure it will...

Tech Tip
|
Any fuel, be it gasoline, diesel,
or heating fuel, is made up of many different organic compounds.
These organic compounds are constantly changing over time becoming
new compounds that change the characteristics of fuel. The same
compounds that make up the best parts of gasoline can react with
oxygen and other elements in the environment and form new
compounds that build up to form gummy residues or varnish-like
films that can clog up passages in fuel lines, carburetors, and
injectors. Even though some fuels are treated with inhibitors that
can help prevent the formation of these harmful compounds for up
to 3 months it is still best to treat the fuel system to be sure
that these compounds are prevented from forming if the fuel system
will be idle for an extended period of time. The best product to
protect your fuel system throughout the winter lay up is STA-BIL.
It is a cheap treatment and may prevent a big expense when you
roll out your wing next spring.

 Well
it’s finally here, cold—wind—rain and all the crap that goes with
winter. I was able to get the wing out for a 20 mile ride last
Saturday, but it looks like that may be it for a while. Hopefully
the weather will be good enough to attend Chapter C2’s News Years
Day Artic Ride. This will be the first time I have been able to
attend and am looking forward to it.
I am already looking forward to our next big event Cabin Fever. It
looks like we are going to have a very good turnout by our
chapter. The Officers Meeting was held at the same hotel that
Cabin Fever will be held and we were all very impressed with the
hotel and the staff. The staff treated us great and I think they
will do a good job at Cabin Fever as well.
I have made about twenty five 2005 event calendars, I will bring
them to our Christmas Party and every one can take one home and
get ready for next years rides and events.
