On Monday, 13th April 2015 Reading Harley-Davidson opened its doors... Hotline: 01753 578616 www.thamesvalleyhog.org.uk
Disaster! My grandson spilled water on my computer and it blacked out—stopped working! This happened TWO DAYS before the magazine was due at the printer’s. So, I had a mammoth task this month; not only did I have so few days to get the whole magazine ready, from scratch, but I had to do it on a new computer which I couldn’t easily find my way around. I’m sure I’m going to love my new comp, when I know how to use it, but I miss knowing what all the buttons do and it’s awful trying to do a simple thing, like change the background colour. It can take half an hour to find the simplest thing. Fortunately, Don spoke to the printer and he gave us until the day before club night, (thank you, thank you, xxx) so I had a couple of extra days to sort things out. Most of the material comes via email, so I could access that from any computer, but things that are stored on my broken one are, for the moment, lost. So, I’m apologising in advance if the magazine seems rushed — it is! I’m also sorry for anything I have omitted or haven’t been able to retrieve, I will do my best to rectify it next month. It’s a beautiful, sunny Saturday as I sit here; no chance of getting on the bike today. I also will have to miss the Toy Run tomorrow, but I’m going to tomorrow as make sure that I get to Reading for a couple of hours on Monday morning, to be there when the new Dealership finally opens its doors. What a great moment in history this is for the Thames Valley Chapter! Looking forward the the Grand Opening, too, on May 9th. See you there...

And to anyone else who is celebrating a birthday this month (my birthday file went down with my computer.)
Happy birthday to you all!
A big Thank You to ALL who have sent copy for this month magazine:

Hi Everybody , Welcome to the April edition of Tales from the Riverbank. It seems a long time ago when I announced that our dealership, Thames Valley Harley-Davidson had shut its doors and had ceased trading, and that Thames Valley UK Chapter would carry on, still supported by HOG. Last Monday we started a new chapter in the history of Thames Valley UK Chapter. We can now be very proud of our great new dealership, Reading Harley-Davidson, and a team of dedicated staff with Mike Wilson as Dealer Principal.
As you can see from the front cover of this month’s magazine the dealership looks fantastic. Looking forward to the future. The dealership will promote our chapter and with the sale of bikes will increase our membership. With the support we are going to give Mike and the team, the bond between Reading Harley Davidson & Thames Valley UK Chapter will only grow! On Saturday, April 18th we have planned a ride-out from SportsAble to Reading Harley-Davidson for as many members as we can muster together. It would be great to arrive on the first Saturday of opening with a mass ride-out from Thames Valley to show our support. The ride will meet at SportsAble at 9:00 for a 9:30 depart. 4
Please spread the word around as we would like a big show of members. A date for your diary- May 9th. Reading Harley-Davidson are having a Grand Opening party with a band and a food vendor and a few surprises! Membership Renewals Another year passes by and it’s time for membership renewals. This year we have set up a membership renewal option online, through our Website, which we hope will make the process a little easier for most of you. By now you should all have received your membership renewal letters and will see the membership costs are staying the same for 2015: Single membership - Rider only £28 Family Membership - Rider, Partner & 2 minors (under 18), £36 Memberships can be paid for, online, through PayPal. Anybody wishing to pay by cash or cheque at club night will still be able to do so. While we are on the subject of membership, our membership stands, as of April 1st, at 134 full members and 69 affiliated, giving a total of 203. March club night was attended by 66 members. Road Crew Do you think you have what it takes to become a member of our road crew? Thames Valley are now recruiting for Road Marshals to go through a training program with the Chapter and Hog to become Road Captains. The positions of Road Marshal is open to all members, but you would need to be an experienced, confident rider and have the ability to lead and organise Chapter rides to become a Road Captain. Mileage Chapter Challenge The Chapter has had a great start this year with around 65 members signing up for the challenge. You still have time to register for the challenge, all you need is a form from me at club night, to register. 5
SofER Rally 2015 Ticket sales at Thames Valley have been very slow this year. To date, we have sold just on 40 tickets. The other four chapters are running out of their quota, fast. There are many members who would normally attend the rally, who have not yet bought tickets. Please don’t leave it to the last minute and be disappointed. Tickets are available from me at club nights, Poker Runs & at the dealership on Saturdays, by appointment. Events & Rallies The Rally season is just about due to start with the Cider Rally over May Bank holiday. Although there is no accommodation left on site you can still camp, or stay in a local hotel. Tickets available from Bridgewater Hog. Chapter Chill-Out weekend May 22nd in Bridgnorth, home of the Seven Valley Railway. We still have space available but only camping is left. Contact Pat or Barry for more information about the weekend. Boys’ weekend away, camping at Fenlanders Rally 23rd July. If you fancy joining the boys’ weekend away with good bands, a few drinks and a bit of fun thrown in, get in touch with Fred for more information. Here’s to a great year with Reading Harley-Davidson. Ride Safe and carry on having fun,

Weekend 22 – 25th May
Information Update... Just to let you know that there will be a planned ride down to the Unicorn Inn at Hampton Loade on Friday 22nd May, with various pick ups along the way. More information to follow... For anyone making their own way there the full address is, The Unicorn Inn, Hampton, Hampton Loade, Nr Bridgnorth, Shropshire, WV16 6BN Tel: 01746 861515. For those of you that have already booked accommodation, rooms have all been pre-allocated. Towels are provided but there are no toiletries or hair driers in the rooms. For those of you camping, or with caravans, the Landlord will be roping off an area for us so that we can be camped together, so look out for the Chapter Gazebo. We are all booked, and have paid, to have breakfast every morning. The food at the pub is excellent and very reasonably priced. The Pub is situated a short walk from the Severn Valley Railway Station at Hampton Loade. Steam trains will be running from Bridgnorth (Street Market on Saturdays) to Kidderminster. You can purchase a Day Rover ticket which includes entry to the Engine House visitor centre (usually £6) at Highley Station. Prices are as follows : Adult Senior( 60+) Booking Fee Prebooked 17.50 15.50 1.75 On the Day 19.00 17.00 Log into their website at www.svr.co.uk or Telephone 01562 757900, tickets will be posted to you (please allow at least 5 days before your travel date). You can buy your tickets on the day but the ticket office at Hampton Loade only takes cash and if we all decide to catch the train at the same time the little man in the ticket office might not cope with the rush! We have some information brochures and train timetables available – see Barry on club night. Barry and I did the day on the train a couple of weekends ago and it was great fun but you need to catch the first train of the day from Hampton Loade to Bridgnorth, at 10.48, to visit all the stations and places of interest! We are not planning an official ride out for the Sunday but information and routes for places of interest will be available. If you have any questions just give me a shout.

Hi ladies, Well, we had a huge turn out on 14th March at the Reading dealership site for the mileage verifications. Thank you, Hazel, for looking after the refreshments, and thanks also to Mike & Tania Wilson for their warm hospitality, guided tour etc. Can't believe that by the time you read this our dealership will be up and running.
Each month, our very own Elaine Shepherd, (the National Chapter LoH Officer) sends a communication to all the LoH Officers in the UK & Ireland. In April's update, Elaine noted from one of the other chapter magazines the highest individual miles for participating chapters in 2014. The following ladies were named & congratulated: Karen Wilkie from Aire Valley 11,512 miles Toni Charles from Thames Valley with 11,351 miles Alycia Catterall from Hatters with 10,347 miles Have not long arrived home from the Bibury trout farm ride-out… Ohhh, at last the sun had it's hat on for this one! Fantastic ride led by Nick West, with Don & Freddie as crew, several lady pillions, and even a support vehicle There was plenty of choice on the menu at the little café, and it had to be done - smoked trout sandwich, yum! Swiftly followed by a lush 99 ice cream, or could it be a 69? Won't name names but it had us all in stitches! Speaking of stitches, you'll need to read Jammy's write up re our privileged parking arrangements on arrival at Bibury! What a great day out. Clocks went forward last month… OK, so we lost an hour in bed , but the lighter evenings make all the difference, if you fancy meeting up for a ride-out/drive out after work, maybe ? 8
Can't tell you how grateful I am, ladies, for your suggestions/ links for day/evening/weekend trips/ride-outs etc . I promise, girls, I haven't forgotten. (So long as I write it down in my little pink book! Sadly, my little black book was binned years ago, ha ha!) Current proper date for your diaries... SATURDAY 25th July (incidentally the lads weekend away) I'm planning to organise a day in Windsor to include a bit of shopping, a boat trip, cream tea and for anyone that fancies, maybe an overnight stay? Will send out more details via email. Thank you girls for your input & Yvonne for your homework on the boat trip, prices etc x As ever please keep your ideas coming. Soooooo looking forward to the ride-out on Saturday to our new dealership
Here's wishing Shirley Churchill heartfelt get well wishes from us all before her upcoming op this month Ride safe, Sue Dodds x LoH Representative

WOMEN WHO BEHAVE SELDOM MAKE HISTORY

With some help from a BMW S1000RR, 24-year-old Swedish rider Robert Gull has become the first person to wheelie a motorcycle at over 200 km/h on ice, and in doing so has set a new Guinness World Record. Swedish riders never let the winter get in the way of a good ride, they just use the smooth iced tops of frozen lakes instead of roads, and spiked tyres instead of sticky rubber. With plenty of ice guaranteed for several months every year, this offers lots of opportunities for sports, but why play ice hockey or go skating when you can ride your motor bike instead? Robert Gull has already established a reputation for his high-speed antics on ice.
After spending many hours in the garage building special ice tyres for the attempt Robert said: “Everything felt great and I was really comfortable on the bike.” He continued, “It felt like we were ready for the record attempt and from earlier experience I knew it would be hard, but that I would for sure do my best.” On the day, the weather was warm, which made the ice softer on the top. After testing a couple of different tyres in the rear, to find which one was most suitable for the conditions, it was time to do some serious wheelies. Robert managed to maintain his wheelie through the measured 100 metre line, and the overall speed was recorded at 206.09 km/h. The entire attempt was recorded by six cameras and witnesses, to qualify for the GWR. From Mike Connolly

Hi Everyone, Just a few words to say a massive, massive thank you to Ray Shepherd, Mick Friend, Nick West, Bernie Dodds,
Chris Smith, Don Wibberley, Frank, and everyone else who has contributed to the building of a downstairs loo for Gopher! We are both overwhelmed and so very, very grateful for all your hard work. Gopher continues to make progress, albeit very slow, but he may be home by the middle of April! Once again, we cannot express in words how very grateful we are. Love Lynn and Gopher
Nick got this letter from Lynn to share with club members, but especially with the people who so generously gave up their weekends and spare time to help.

It is Easter Bank Holiday Monday and we are on our way to Bibury in Gloucestershire for the 1st big ride-out of the year. Sixteen bikes plus 9 pillions + 2 more bikes at H's café. To say Bibury is busy would be an understatement! We have ridden through the village and turned around to see if we can see any parking spaces... HOLD ON! A man is stood on the pavement flagging Nick West down. He has opened his gates, he is waving us in, all of us in… ‘Nick the Stitch’ from the Hogsback Chapter, staying in his weekend retreat, has let us park in his drive and garage at the back of his house. What a result! An amazing man, a thousand thank yous are coming your way! ( In the group photo " Nick the Stitch " is standing between Mick Friend & Ray Shepherd ) Linda Friend

Yes, it’s C J praying! Praying that Reading H-D will finally open it’s doors. Sue and Bernie Dodds paid a visit to the dealership a couple of Saturdays ago and this was the sight that welcomed them. Well, it looks like his prayers have been answered! ...and is that a broom in Bernie’s hand? Wonders will never cease!
Bernie’s Back on a Bike! Not quite riding yet, but back on a bike for the first time since his illness. Malcolm and a few of the lads took Bernie to the Oxford dealership. Great to feel the wind in your face again, eh, Bernie?

Hi folks, our keen and very able editor has asked me to put together some information for our members about myself ‌ so hold onto your hat!
I have had bikes since I left school, in fact while i was still in school, Deb my wife, used to ride her Puch Maxi to my house and let me ride it up and down the street. As soon as I was old enough, I bought a Yamaha RD100, Deb did the same and we did mini rideouts together for years. When we got our first home in Oxford, as with many people, the toys had to go and whilst my girls were growing up cars were the most useful and affordable form of transport. In the mid 90s I got back on bikes and the first half-decent bike I rode was a 600 Bandit, followed quickly by a Kawasaki KLE550 (trials type). Just before I moved to a new job in Reading in ’98, I swapped out for a Suzuki GSXF750. I commuted from Oxford to Reading on that for a few years before being seduced by the beautiful lines and relentless power of a Suzuki Hayabusa, which I bought new in 2000. What a rocket ship that was! I had it for about 5 years and only put about 7k miles on it (mostly due to work committments). Now working for an American company and spending a lot of time in the USA, it was about this time that I bought my first Harley. It was a used 1999 Heritage Softail Classic. I bought it from a lady rider in New Hampshire, USA. I did about 20K miles on this in the My first HarleyUSA, including a tour to the Harley CVO 1999 Heritage Factory in York, Pennsylvania. Softail Classic
1999 Heritage Softail Classic
It was actually on the ride there that I realised that i needed a more comfortable bike. The ride took about 4 days and gave me some real bad back pain. On returning to the Boston area, I started to visit dealerships looking for a glide. In 2006, a very good American friend and I planned our first cross-American trip from Boston to California via Route 66 and back again via the Northern States, in 2008. In preparation for the trip, I traded in my Heritage for a 2003 Anniversary Ultra which I fully used in the U.S. until 2009. Meanwhile, back in the UK, I was still riding sports bikes (ZZR1400). In 2010, I shipped my Ultra back to the UK and a few months later I traded that in for my current 105th Anniversary CVO Ultra. Outside of the biking world I have my own Electrical Contracting business and until very recently I owned my very own microlight. Sadly, due to work and riding commitments, I had to let the plane go for now. Hopefully, there will be a chance for me to fly again soon (possibly as a part of a joint ownership scheme). Meanwhile I am concentrating on my business, my family and helping out at the HOG Chapter. I have made many new friends since joining Thames Valley. I love the atmosphere, the friendliness and the great fun we have at the Chapter, and I look forward to many more years benefitting from what the Club offers and hopefully, in some way, giving back to the club in my current and future roles.
With the riding season upon us, and with so many new members, the Safety Officer has asked me to include this article— PLEASE READ IT Editor
Ride Safety – How We Roll!
Here at Thames Valley HOG, we take safety very seriously. We are all riding for fun and we are all well aware of the risks of riding any motorcycle on our roads today. Here we have some information to help reduce the risk of incidents, accidents and injury of riders when riding as a part of our group. The suggestions are just that; you alone must adopt the safest way to proceed within the ride. At least the knowledge of what others around you may be doing and thinking will add further to reduce the risks. Most of the information is plain common sense but a few guidelines are in place to ensure everyone is expecting the same thing from our great days out ! Before you leave home to meet at the start point make sure: 1. your body has managed to purge any alcohol that you may have drunk the night before. If in doubt, sit it out ! 2. your bike is roadworthy and legal (tax, MOT, insurance etc.) 3. you know the location of the departure point and the time you need to be there 4. you have a full tank of petrol or enough to get you to the first refuelling point 5. you have enough money to buy fuel, food and any entry fees required 6. you have any necessary equipment to deal with expected (and sometimes unexpected) weather conditions. 7. you know how to get home from the destination (most rides are only to the destination and not home again)
When you arrive at the departure point, take early advantage of the restroom facilities. Most rides will have at least 90 minutes before the first break. Make sure you know where and when the briefing will take place and make sure you are there in good time. Listen carefully to what your Lead Road Captain is saying. Whilst most of it will be the same each time, there maybe important information about THIS ride that you need to know to stay safe and on the right route. If this is your first ride in a group, or you are unsure of how to participate in the route-marking method, please let a member of the road-crew know. They will help you to build the knowledge and confidence to participate successfully (sometimes by shadowing you and stopping with you). It is best to be honest at this point… you will not feel good if you don’t speak out and cause the ride to lose its way. During the briefing, the Lead Road Captain (LRC) will tell and show you who is the sweeper or tailman. He (or she) should be on their bike when introduced. This is to help you recognise who will be releasing you from your drop point during the ride. If you are planning to leave the ride before the destination please let the Lead Road Captain know. We operate a ‘Ride Exit Procedure’ which you should follow to prevent the group from being misdirected. Please consider dropping out at a fuel stop or comfort stop. 20
Starting out Usually the LRC will lead the ride to a holding point where the ride can form up for the journey. He/she is not a part of the ride formation and will frequently change position in the road to get the best view of the road ahead and the formation behind. The second rider will start the staggered formation. Riding in Staggered Formation It is important to maintain safe distance between you and the riders around you. Just like the Highway Code, we observe the ‘2 Second Rule’ within our riding pack. We create two lanes of riders within a single lane on the road (where the road width allows). This helps reduce the length of the ride and still maintains a safe manoeuvring distance. Each rider maintains a minimum of 2 seconds between the front of his/her bike and the back of the bike directly in front. There is a rider in the other column who maybe closer but because he/she is in the other lane we created, he/she should not interfere with you in the event that you have to pull up sharply. Whilst you are moving there should NEVER be any overlap between you and ANY other rider in the pack. Only when you come to a complete stop should you pull up directly alongside another rider. Remember, these are MINIMUM suggested distances. Road conditions, weather, visibility and a number of other human factors should be taken into account when making the decision on how much room you need. As always, you are responsible for your own safety and ensuring that you do not endanger your fellow riders. Occasionally, the road conditions prevent us from operating the staggered file formation. Where this happens, the LRC may indicate following riders to form a single file or, where riders deem it necessary, they will create a larger gap between themselves and the rider next in the formation and form into single file themselves. This is more common in cities and towns, on narrow roads and when filtering. Once again, if you do not feel safe in the staggered file because of one of these factors, take the decision yourself (don’t wait for signal from the front). Your safety and comfort is paramount, maintain that 2 second gap ! Marking the Route We operate two basic methods of ensuring that rides get to the final destination safely and together. Both methods require the involvement and participation of everyone in the ride. The Buddy System is used more for small groups (6 or less riders) and has a few risks of group separation and so the predominant method used by TVHOG is the ‘Second Man Drop Off’ system. Cont. on page 22 21
Second Man Drop Off This method of route-marking requires the participation of all riders in the group. As a minimum, there must be a Lead Road Captain and a Tailman/Sweeper. Occasionally, a marshal will ride with the tailman in case of a breakdown. This method works well with larger groups and operates well even if the group gets split up across junctions / lights. It is reliant on a rider being assigned a marking point by the leader, and that rider STAYING at that point until the tailman or sweeper indicates for him/her to rejoin the ride. Sometimes this can mean a wait of 5 or 10 minutes (or even longer). The point is, no matter what, you must only rejoin the ride in front of the sweeper/tailman. If you leave your station too early, everyone behind you will likely become lost… The mechanics are something like this… As the ride approaches a change of direction, a junction or fork in the road, the Lead Road Captain indicates to the rider directly behind him, the Second Man, to stop at a specific location. That rider, pulls over and points the way to all of the following riders clearly showing the direction they should go. When dropped, the second man should ensure he/she is in a safe position and MUST cancel any indicators. Do NOT put your hazard warning lights on (if you have them). If you are dropped and you feel unsafe, try to move to a safer spot, in clear sight of following riders. Dismount if necessary and stand at the side of the road to point the way. If you have a passenger, have them dismount and do the pointing. Don’t worry about rushing to rejoin the ride, if the tailman comes along he/she will either pull over with you and wait, or he will ride on in the knowledge that you will be coming to rejoin the ride shortly. The prime objective is to mark the route, show the way and be safe whilst doing so. The person showing the way MUST stay at that location until he is invited to rejoin the road by the sweeper/tailman. He/she then rejoins in front of the tailman and is now at the back of the ride. Meanwhile, at the front, the rider behind the guy who was just dropped has now become the ‘Second Man’. At the next turn or junction the Lead Road Captain will indicate a drop off to that rider and so the process will continue. On longer rides, each rider may get the chance to mark the route 2 or 3 times. The staggered formation DOES NOT change during this procedure. Each rider maintains their position and riders do not switch position in the staggered formation. Here is a tip for newer riders: The person riding in front of you will get dropped of just before you. This places him at the back of the ride. When YOU are dropped, look for that rider to pass you as right behind him should be the tailman. Make sure you see the tailman and he sees you before you move off, but this is a handy way to buy a few seconds to prepare to rejoin the ride in front of the sweeper / tail rider. If you cannot rejoin in front of the tailman (traffic, road position, it is not safe to pull out or you are simply not ready in time to pull out in front of him/her), allow the tailman to pass and pull out as soon as it is safe. He will know you are behind and will indicate for you to pass him as soon as it is safe to do so If you are on a ride operating Second Man Drop system and you follow all of the advice above, both you and your fellow riders will all make it to the planned destination, safely and together. Happy riding…
