Thanks
to
Everyone |

Many
months
ago,
the
discussion
came
up
about
a
bid
for
the
2007
Texas
State
HOG
rally.
During
this
discussion,
I
made
the
comment
that
after
a
successful
rally
in
99 in
Amarillo,
we
had
a
lot
to
live
up
to.
But
knowing
the
Amarillo
Harley
Owners
Group
and
all
the
staff
here
at
Tripp’s
Harley-Davidson,
I
knew
that
it
was
a
challenge
that
we
were
willing
and
able
to
take
on.
It
took
a
great
number
of
people
to
put
together
a
successful
bid
for
the
2007
rally
and
then
put
on
what
I
truly
believe
has
been
the
best
Texas
HOG
rally
to
date.
Certainly
no
one
person
could
or
would
take
credit
for
the
success
of
this
rally.
I
am
so
proud
that
every
event
that
this
HOG
chapter
puts
on
is
done
as
a
group
effort.
Everyone
involved
in
the
planning
and
execution
of
this
rally
worked
for
the
success
of
the
rally,
not
for
personal
gain.
I
am
so
very
proud
of
the
staff
of
Tripp’s
Harley-Davidson.
They
all
stepped
up
to
the
challenge
of
being
the
host
dealership
for
the
rally.
Since
the
conclusion
of
the
rally,
we
at
the
dealership
have
received
a
number
of
emails
and
phone
calls
complimenting
and
thanking
us
for
their
treatment .
I
could
not
be
prouder .
To
all
those
who
came
to
the
rally
as
a
rally
participant,
thank
you
for
allowing
us
to
be
your
host.
After
every
Harley-Davidson
event,
you
always
hear
about
how
gracious
the
Harley-Davidson
people
were
while
they
were
in
town.
Each
night
at
the
rally
I
was
taken
on
stage
and
Valerie
Ledterman
always
said
thanks
to
Tripp’s
for
all
they’ve
done.
But
I
want
you
to
know
from
my
father,
P.W.,
my
wife
Lynda,
all
of
our
children,
the
staff
of
Tripp’s,
and
myself
that
your
applause
and
thanks
is
shared
with
all
the
men
and
women
of
this
club
for
all
of
your
outstanding
work
on
this
year’s
rally.
We
have
been
asked
by
a
number
of
people
when
we
are
going
to
do
this
again,
since
you
guys
did
such
a
great
job.
That
is
probably
the
best
compliment
we
can
be
paid.
Sincerely,
Terry
Tripp,
the
Tripp
family
and
the
staff of Tripp’s
Harley-Davidson

GET
A
JUMP
ON
STURGIS
2007 |
|
|
Sturgis
will
be
here
before
you
know
it.
You’ve
made
your
reservation,
you’ve
laid
out
your
route,
and
everything
is
a
go.
You
have
walked
out
in
the
garage
and
looked
at
your
bike
and
you
are
thinking
do
I
need
the
oil
changed;
do
I
need
a
new
tire?
But
let
me
give
you
one
more
thing
to
think
about
or
several
more
things
to
think
about;
an
all
new
totally
redesigned
96
cubic
inch
motor,
6
speed
transmissions,
and
fuel
injection.
Maybe
before
you
put
that
new
tire
on
the
old
bike,
save
that
money
for
the
tire
and
use
it
on
the
down
payment
on
a
new
2007
Harley-Davidson.
Come
by
and
see
Jason
or
Tuggie
and
you
can
have
that
new
bike
broken
in
before
you
head
to
Sturgis. |

| BRAKING
IN
A
STRAIGHT
LINE |
|
To
slow
down
and
stop
in
a
straight
line,
apply
both
front
and
rear
brakes
simultaneously,
in
a
smooth,
coordinated
fashion.
As
you
slow
down,
pull
in
the
clutch
and
downshift
–
all
the
way
to
first
gear
for
a
complete
stop.
If
you
don't
pull
in
the
clutch,
the
motorcycle
may
stall
as
you
stop.
By
downshifting
as
you
slow,
you
ensure
you'll
be
in
the
proper
gear
when
you're
ready
to
accelerate,
whether
from
a
complete
stop
or
a
slower
speed.
In
emergency
situations,
where
you
want
to
stop
as
quickly
as
possible,
the
same
technique
applies.
Squeeze
the
front
brake
lever
smoothly
and
firmly
while
pressing
on
the
rear
brake
pedal,
taking
care
not
to
lock
up
either
wheel.
Keep
your
eyes
up
and
looking
straight
ahead,
not
down
at
your
front
wheel
or
the
road
directly
in
front
of
you.
This
will
help
you
keep
the
bike
in
a
straight
line
as
you
slow
and
stop.
Remember:
The
rule
of
thumb
is
your
front
brake
provides
about
70
percent
of
your
stopping
power,
so
using
the
rear
brake
only
(a
bad
habit
that's
easy
to
fall
into,
especially
at
slow
speeds)
deprives
you
of
considerable
stopping
ability.
There
are
also
still
some
misconceptions
out
there
about
the
"dangers"
of
using
too
much
front
brake.
The
fear
is
that
if
you
overdo
it
with
the
front,
the
motorcycle
could
pitch
forward
and
throw
you
over
the
handlebars
–
or
even
flip
the
bike
over
altogether.
In
fact,
in
high-speed,
quick-stopping
situations,
your
front
brake
may
actually
provide
much
more
than
70
percent
of
your
stopping
power.
In
the
case
of
a
light,
short-wheelbase
model
(think
of
the
Buell®
Firebolt®
or
Lightning®
models,
for
example),
where
it
is
possible
to
raise
the
rear
wheel
off
the
ground
in
a
sudden
stop,
it
may
even
provide
100
percent.
Here's
why:
As
you
apply
the
front
brake,
the
front
suspension
compresses,
and
the
weight
of
your
motorcycle
(including
you,
your
passenger,
and
whatever
load
you
may
be
carrying)
is
shifted
forward
onto
your
front
wheel
(and
away
from
your
rear
wheel).
This
increase
in
weight
results
in
an
increase
in
traction,
which
is
where
the
additional
stopping
power
comes
from.
If
it
shifts
so
far
forward
that
your
rear
wheel
is
about
to
leave
the
ground,
that
means
virtually
100
percent
of
the
stopping
power
is
being
provided
by
the
front
brake.
