The First HOG Chapter General Meeting
Of 2007
New faces, new places and new spaces that were filled. Oh My Gosh, what a great turn-out we had for the first General Meeting of the New Year. We now have a suggestion box for all to use. It is located in the upstairs HOG meeting room. We want to hear from all of you about your new ideas!
If you weren't there, I highly recommend putting the next months Meeting on your calendar as a "MUST DO" for February 17, 2007 at 9AM for the General Meeting and New Members and also the 10AM LOH Meeting.

WHERE TO GO FOR ANSWERS
The Superstition Dealership supports and helps The Chapter, but they don't have the answers to solving Chapter issues. THEREFORE, Should you have suggestions, concerns, questions or that one of any kind complaint...LOL. Please contact one of the chapter officers.
Our goal as board members is to create an atmosphere of 'Riding and Having Fun!' We would be more than happy to help solve problems, find solutions, or answer your questions. To the left are the email links to contacts us. Hopefully, this will be helpful to you in the future.

KATHY LOPEZ
Membership/Editor
Kathy has been a Chapter member since March of 2006, but you would think she has been a member since the beginning. She is liked by most and always ready to give a helping hand. She has that kind of personality you just like to be around. She lights up a room with her smile and laughter.
She rides a 2000 Sportster 1200 and has been riding on and off for 40 yrs.
DUH, her new nickname, was given to her in Tombstone at Big Nose Kate’s. The story can’t be written, what happens in Tombstone, stays in Tombstone.

DUH hails from Annapolis, MD and has been an AZ resident for 3yrs. She considers the Chapter her extended family. Her favorite food is food, but loves Sushi as a treat. Her favorite drink is water.

Her favorite non chapter ride is a Charity Ride to Sunshine Acres. Her favorite Chapter ride is Tombstone (DUH).She would like to see the Chapter do more long overnight rides. She would also like to see more members in the Chapter participate in the meetings, not just show up for sale specials and parties.


Crazy George Pederson
Chapter Historian
He has been a chapter member since 2004 and a Life member of HOG. George has been riding off and on for 15yrs. He rides a 2002 Sportster 1200 with a Voyager Trike kit. Due to a foot/ankle injury, he had to move to trikes.
Crazy George hails from N.H.and was born in MA. Him and his wife Pat moved to AZ., in 1989. Since then his sister, brother in law, and niece have moved to AZ. As an Air Force veteran, he served as an Electro Power Production Spec.
George was forced to retire and now works part time as the Greeter at Superstition HD on Saturday’s and Sunday’s and a HOG representative at the dealership.
His favorite food is My Biker Burger and Ribs.
George's favorite non chapter ride is the Freedom Rally and the Sept 11th Memorial Ride. His memorable Chapter ride is the State Rally in Williams and community parades
He would like to see more Mystery Rides to historic sites, charity runs and Chapter get together, (cook outs, BBQ’s).
He would like to see the Chapter support veteran groups and community charities, anything that would bring the Chapter together as one. It’s always a great time when the Chapter is partying together
