Chapter Night debrief from the MO.

It was great to see a few members at Chapter Night, 37 to be exact with 3 guests, that being Trevor & Joy from MDN and a very enthusiastic possible new member Nicolai who is in the process of buying either a Road King or Heritage. Nicolai came along to see what we do as a chapter and conversed with anyone who would talk with him.

We had one new member at chapter night, we welcome Jean-Pierre (JP) who rides a Softail Standard and is looking forward to riding with us.

Cammo delivered his monthly report touching on our recent HOT training and we were quite happy we came away from that with a few refreshing ideas as we move forward as a Chapter, stay tuned for announcements and events.

One thing I picked up from HOT was "Spark" where we were asked, "what made you buy a Harley Davidson" and more so "why did you join HOG" well quite a few told us their stories over the weekend, Cammo and I included, so I thought it would be a great idea to introduce it to Chapter Night, well we got 1 bite so it's a start, thank you, Steve, for your Spark. It will be great to hear some more of our members' Spark stories so don't be shy at our next get-together when I ask.

Our HRC gave a brief report and he is looking forward to how we adopt the new CRIB session to the chapter and new members.

Ray informed us that new bikes are arriving and getting a lot of interest in the new models coming out of the Thailand factory and the quality of the builds is impressive. Ray also announced the shop will be the drags this weekend which is the first since covid, and they are looking forward to getting back into it. Click on the link below for the timetable.

Our MDN Rep, John B has asked for members to buy presents for the MDN Christmas party at Ngaruawahia on the 19th Nov, these are due before the 16th, however, please contact John as there is an envelope system in place.

Tribal Nations have a RATS ride (Riders against Teen Suicide) out of AHD this Saturday if members would like to support this worthy cause.

cheers all,

LUPPO
