| "Toys
for
Tots"
Celebration |
It
just
goes
to
show...bikers'
hearts
are
as
big
as
all
outdoors,
and
just
because
the
Albuquerque
Toy
Run
imploded,
it
didn't
stop
you
from
showing
everyone
what
generosity
looks
like!
Our
"Toys
for
Tots"
toy
drop
party
managed
to
collect
over
1600
toys
(and
more
continue
arriving
every
day!),
$600
cash
and
over
800
pounds
of
food...in
just
one
day!
Here's
a
huge
note
of
thanks
to
the
U.S.
Marine
Corp.
Reserve
and
the
Black
Beret
Motorcycle
Club
for
helping
us
make
our
toy
drop
celebration
a
tremendous
success!
We'd
also
like
to
thank
Garcia's
for
donating
all
that
wonderful
food
and
the
H.O.G.
members
and
other
volunteers
who
helped
ensure
the
day's
festivities
went
off
without
a
hitch!

| Mileage
Contest
Results |
The
"Iron
Butt"
winner
for
most
mileage
accumulated
between
January
21,
2006
and
December
16,
2006
is...
**Norman
Doty,
who
logged
a
whopping
20,414
miles!
Thanks
to
his
dedication
for
mileage
accumulation,
Norman
and
his
bike
are
the
recipients
of
two
new
tires!
Our
"Butter
Butt"
prize
is
reserved
for
those
who
didn't
get
to
feel
the
thrill
of
the
ride
as
often
as
they
wanted.
Honestly,
I
was
expecting
someone
with
only
couple
of
hundred
miles
added,
but
when
our
lowest
mileage
cleared
1,000
miles,
I
was
impressed!
**Mr.
Frank
Lujan
put
a
healthy
1,375
miles
on
his
Harley,
and
will
take
home
a
new
Rand
McNally
Biker
Atlas
that
is
chock
full
of
interesting
"bike
friendly"
routes
that
could
give
Frank
the
incentive
to
snag
that
"Iron
Butt"
crown
next
year!
This
contest
was
close,
I'm
not
going
to
lie!
The
mileage
that
separated
the
winner
from
#2...4
miles!
That's
it!
Four
itty-bitty
miles,
that's
how
competative
this
contest
can
get!
That
being
said,
I'd
like
to
list
those
people
who
surpassed
15,000
miles
this
year!
**Jamie
Gustafson-20,410
miles
**Renee
and
Ray
Romero-17,714
miles
**Bill
Rager-16,801
miles
If
you
didn't
win
this
time,
or
were
unable
to
participate,
2007
may
be
your
year!
Saturday
January
13,
2007
is
the
registration/start
date
for
the
new
year's
mileage
contest!
Bring
your
bike
and
get
signed
up...you
never
know,
you
might
be
a
winner!

As

special
"procrastinator

Thursday,
December

and
Friday,
December

be
staying
open
until

for
those
last-minute,
late-evening

We've
still
got
some
great
gifts
for
all
those
picky
people
on
your
list!

Now
through
Christmas
Eve,
anytime
you
shop
with
us,
take
advantage
of
free
gift
wrapping
between
11and
closing
time,
courtesy
of
H.O.G.
volunteers.
Any
donations
you'd
like
to
give
the
dedicated
wrappers
will
be
used
to
send
some
wonderful
kids
to
the
MDA
Summer
Camp
next
year.
You
might
also
notice
a
donation
container
at
the
hotdog
station
this
weekend...if
Frog
and
his
dogs
treat
ya
right,
toss
some
change
in
there
for
the
kids
(all
that
money
is
going
to
the
same
cause).
Because
of
our
donations
last
year,
we
were
able
to
send
four
kids
to
the
experience
of
a
lifetime.
This
year,
we're
shooting
for
more
(we're
hoping
for
10,
a
very
reachable
goal!)
