Parts News “Another one down”, is what Al and I say on Saturday afternoon during the Rally. It sure looked kinda bleak the week before, but I guess the bikers were just a little late this year. When they did get here, they went through the place like a blight. We had a great time this year, and hope you did, too. Our staff was world class – it just doesn’t get much better! The 2009 models are out! Some changes are in the breeze this year, so come on out and see some of the new P&A we’ll have on hand for you. It’s been arriving almost daily, and should continue through September. Maybe 2

Pig Tails 2008 Board of Directors
Director’s Corner The rally is over (hope yours was a good and safe one). As Kelly is typing this, I am getting my bike ready to head east to Milwaukee for the 105th. Remember when I asked you guys to talk to her about getting me a new bike…??? Well it worked! THANKS!!! My only question is: Does that larger new tire make my ass look big? Be careful how you answer that folks…! I hope that ever yone enjoyed the rally and a hats off to all of you that had the time to volunteer where you were needed. It’s truly a great way to meet people throughout the countr y! In my situation I had an opportunity to meet four gentlemen that rode their bikes up from Mexico. Talk about the true meaning of iron butt. The Thursday night rides will continue through September
and we are leaving the dealership promptly at 6:00. If you are not receiving the e-mail blasts, you can go on Black Hills Harley Davison’s web site www.bhhd.com and find the information on the rides that way. Thanks to all of the rode captains that have led the rides thus far. They have been a blast. Nice job! October starts the monthly socials. They will be on the second Thursdays starting at 7:00. A light meal will be ser ved starting at 6:30 for those of you who want to be early. Ever yone is welcome and as usual the socials will consist of a small program, prize giveaways, and exchanging some new and definitely some old B.S (that’s where it’s the same pile, but it just gets higher). When it comes to the socials if anyone has any suggestions/ideas, please feel free to e-mail me and the board can discuss those ideas at an upcoming

meeting. This is a great way to become involved and feel apart of our chapter. Always looking for new imput!!! Well I have to run and finish getting my bike ready for Milwaukee. And yes, folks, I will help Kelly get hers ready too. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t hear the end of it….
