Ed Quarters Welcome to July's issue of the magazine. What an astonishing month it has been since I put the last magazine together! The Chapter’s 20th birthday Clubnight in June was awesome. The turnout was great, the sun shone down upon us, the cake was amazing, the band rocked and I didn’t get lynched (standing in for Nick). Since then between the rides and more fabulous weather we've had the fantastic Valley Rally. What a rally! So many people just relaxing, enjoying the whole rally experience. The location was spot on. Congratulations to all that helped put it on (including the hundreds of hours of volunteer work that went on behind the scenes to make it happen). It was a great feeling just looking around and seeing happy people having a good time. For those of you who shared the weekend with us, thank you. The feedback you have given us already has been very encouraging, especially those asking when tickets will be on sale for the next one. In this edition of the magazine, you will find an eight-page spread covering a glimpse from the Valley Rally. It was impossible to cram the whole weekend into the space available, but keep an eye out on our FaceBook page after July’s Clubnight where you will see loads of photos capturing the fun. As always, a huge thank you to all who contributed to this magazine. Ride safe and have fun! Andy

Huge thanks to all who have sent copy in for this month's magazine: Nick, Cilla, Linda, John G, Chris S, Mac, Jo G, Elaine, Robin, Alan M, Mike J, & Jamie. :-)


Hi All, I will start with a huge thanks to Andy Tunley for taking the reins during my holiday absence. I am hearing that he did a great job and that you all had a great night. I saw the photos of the cake (and what a cake!) but sadly I was back too late to claim a piece. Again, many thanks to Cilla, our very own “Cake Mistress” who spent many hours researching for the photos and baking and decorating the huge tiered cake. In last month’s mag, I spoke briefly about Sylvia Pritchett’s battle with illness. Sadly, in the early part of the month Sylvia lost the great fight. I would like to pay tribute to Sylvia for her contribution to the Chapter, her unending friendship and kindness to all that she came into contact with. Our thoughts and best wishes are with Don and their family as they deal with this devastating loss. The committee are now sponsoring a review of the recent Valley Rally which was a massive success. All made possible by the considerable planning and efforts of many Chapter members and the people who supported the rally with their presence. Well done to those on the Rally Sub Committee for setting us up to succeed, and for those (non committee) volunteers who stepped up on the weekend to make the Rally so much fun for others. Once again, our members made the difference by giving their time and energy to help the Chapter be successful. Chapter members were very welcoming of our visitors and friends from the wider HOG community and this has been widely acknowledged by attendees. It is well worth mentioning the recent success of the Thursday Night Reading


Bike Nights. Just recently they have been a roaring success and a really nice addition to the local social calendar. Mike and his team work tirelessly to find the right sort of music for you, often hitting the jackpot and finding both variety and talent. If you haven’t been along to one yet, maybe it’s time to go along. Remember all bike makes are welcome … My holidays have meant that I missed most of the action this month and so I’ll allow you to get a flavour of the more recent fun by digging into this month’s mag. Once again, I hear that the Coast to Coast (Lowestoft to Land's End) ride was a big success. Apparently, there was a lot of new people as well as the riders who have done it before. It seems all had fun and I have heard of no problems with safety at all. Great news! Coming up in August we have the Convergence Rally out in Cirencester where we will be hooking up with Hogsback and Rolling Hills for a weekend at the National Agricultural College. I have been making plans for a special surprise ride out on the Sunday of the Thunder in the Glens rally, for those who are not going there. (The destination is still a secret with a nice surprise at the end.) If the weather holds, it’s going to be awesome. As always, details for all of our events, activities and rides can be found in the Chapter Calendar. Keep the shiny side up folks …. Nick


Hi Ladies, Listen to that? Do you hear it? No? Exactly! It’s the sound of our lads far away in France whilst many of us are enjoying the warm weather and peace and quiet. Whether you are going to be out and about or at home not having to share your wine/chocolate/tv remote/bed, I hope you have a great weekend! We also have a lot of our members out in Prague at the moment for Harley-Davidson’s 115th Anniversary celebrations and from the pictures I’m seeing, you’re all having a wonderful time. I’m not jealous at all. Honest! So, what’s been happening since last month? Lots! At our last club night, we celebrated our chapter’s 20th birthday and I used that as an excuse to practice my other hobby – cake making! With help from Trish and Nij, I went through 20 years of magazines to find pictures to put on the cake and what an eye opener that was. It seems we have one or two exhibitionists in the chapter. It was also great to see so many familiar faces in past magazines, and I must say I got a little side-tracked reading some of the interesting articles and reviews from past events. A personal achievement for me – I took part in my first ever Coast to Coast challenge and I loved it! It worked out as 10+ hours of riding in one day but Bluebell and I managed it, mostly comfortably. There was a small team of Thames Valley riders, including our Speedy Gonzales pair John and Ray who I believe broke the record for fastest completion of the ride – well done guys! Following our 125cc induction session, two of our ladies have now gained their CBT certificates and are one step closer to being able to ride their very own Harleys. A huge congratulations to Kerrie Wayte and Sam Hand. I’m sure we’ll have one or two more ladies taking the plunge in the near future. Watch this space.


The rally we’ve all been looking forward to – Valley Rally – took place at the end of June and what a success that was. The weather was glorious, the music was great, the beer flowed, the cider flowed until we drunk it all. I believe we managed to get through twenty litres of chili on the Friday night - we don’t do things by halves! It was a lovely, relaxed atmosphere and many thanks to those of you who dug deep when I came around with the raffle bucket. Although, some people got the wrong end of the stick when I said ‘it’s a pound a strip’. I was NOT offering to pay you to start taking your clothes off! We have a few events in the pipeline for later in the year so keep an eye on your inbox and e-mail for further details and as always, if you have an idea for an event, do drop me a line. Well, that’s all folks for another month, see you soon!

Cilla P Thames Valley Ladies of Harley Officer loh@9746.co.uk 07525 462186 Dealership Update Reading Harley-Davidson is now getting to the point in the season where we are booking workshop time nearly four weeks in advance. This is not due to poor planning or not wishing to carry out retail work, just due to the pure weight of pre-booked service work. We have many customers who have experienced this phenomenon throughout their Harley ownership, and they will book in for service work a month or so in advance. Unfortunately, once this ‘slot’ has been allocated, we cannot create more hours in the day and the ‘lead time’ moves ever forward. This is quite usual in the summer months for most motorcycle dealerships. Reading Harley-Davidson are actively recruiting for an additional technician to alleviate the length of time our customers have to wait. This is a careful balancing act as it can then cause issues for the dealership in the winter when service workload reduces as many H-D riders are laying their bikes up for the winter months. Please don’t take it personally if there are extended lead-times during these busy times, just book well ahead for servicing. We will never ‘bump’ a customer from a preallocated slot although this is often requested. If you would like to find out more just call in at the dealership, we would be glad to see you.


One Day Run – Dawn to Dusk Let me take you back a year to June 2017 when Ray Sheppard and I were due to do the Dawn to Dusk ride from Ness Point in Lowestoft to Land's End. We had been due to do it with our other halves and a few other Chapter members, however fate conspired against us and I had raging man flu and chest cough so I felt like crap, to use the medical definition. Ray’s bike was off the road and he prioritised the boy’s weekend over the One Day Run for bike hire so couldn’t go. I did it through determination and stubbornness but when I got to Land's End early in the evening I felt too ill for a celebratory beer and just wanted to get some sleep. This year we decided we'd do it again, and Jo and Elaine told us to have a bloke weekend away doing it without them (I think they wanted a weekend at home with the TV controls). We hatched a plan to not get caught up too long at each stop and enjoy the ride possibly matching Elaine’s time in 2017 of mid-afternoon. We headed off to Lowestoft on the Friday with Mark, Cilla and Mike Cousins and got to Newmarket HD for lunch with the Fenlanders and Nick who’d had a lie in and gone straight there using the motorways. Following lunch Alan Moss led a rather slow ride up to Lowestoft for ice cream, beer, dinner and an early night. Next morning before it was bright but was certainly early we roused ourselves and got to Ness Point for sun up.


Ray and I left promptly at 4.30am for Newmarket with Mike Cousins deciding to tag along and I ended up leading a group of around twenty bikes out of Lowestoft and off to Newmarket HD for bacon rolls and coffee. The roads are completely empty that time of morning – fantastic riding. We got to Newmarket to find they hadn’t got the stamp sorted but the bacon was done so all was well. As others started to arrive Ray and I set off for Oxford HD with Mike, who clearly realized our company was better than a second bacon roll. We made good time and were pleasantly surprised to find we were first to arrive at Oxford HD, even beating Elaine and Jo who came over to welcome us through. It was at this point that I thought we could be the first Thames Valley group to finish (Elaine had that honour in 2017) and as Jammy had told me that Malc had the earliest TV arrival time of all at around 2.15pm I wondered if we could get close to that … The three of us set of via the A34 to the A303 towards the Route 303 diner that was the next stop via a refuel in Abingdon. The diner was packed when we got there so we got our cards stamped and kept going. I posted a FB update saying I’d not eaten anything there which prompted concern from my wife that I couldn’t be well and a number of funny comments from other chapter members – ha ha, you lot are so funny. Once we got on to the A38 we hit some traffic but most of it was easy enough to filter through and it delayed us less than Mike’s recommended Sainsbury’s (other supermarkets are available) fuel stop which culminated in a tour of the car park to get out. A bit more filtering and we got the the fourth check point which was the Route 38 Diner. This one wasn’t so busy and Mike kept asking if we could eat but Ray wasn’t hungry and I didn’t want to hang about so we said we going to keep going. Mike came with us but I’m sure I noticed his bottom lip quivering slightly … One we got on the A30 and into Cornwall proper we hit more traffic, and even CARAVANS! But managed to keep moving. By this time, I was fairly certain that we’d finish as one of the first although my Sat Nav wasn’t sure and kept changing the arrival time as soon as it even saw the next caravan. The last 10 miles from Penzance to Land's End is a lovely, but narrow road and the three of us were willing the cars in front to turn off or least get above 25mph. There was one stretch clear enough for me to get past the two cars we’d been following, unfortunately Ray and Mike had to wait a few minutes.


As I rode through the gates into Land's End Jammy and Lunchbox looked a bit surprised and didn’t quite get me in shot but were ready for Ray who was only a minute or two behind me with Mike. We were checked in by Charmaine at the last checkpoint at around 1.50pm making it a Thames Valley 1,2,3 for the finishes. This time I still felt fine at the end and enjoyed the first cider ‌ along with second and an ice cream sitting in the sun with others as they arrived. A great weekend with cracking weather and good company John Green



Euro Festival Grimaud, Golf De St Tropez 7th - 10th June 2018

Now I've clocked up a few rallies over the last 6 years but I had never travelled over 1,000 miles each way to attend one. Frankly I thought the people who did had a bit of a screw loose travelling all that way for a 3-day rally??? Then I had the problem who could bear my company for a week or more full on. Well to my surprise Nick Ekendahl & Malcolm Poulter were the victims and together we did just over 2,300 miles and some of the best scenery France has to offer. Like Lake Annecy pictured above. Day 1 was an early start getting the 7.50am train across the tunnel and then a straight forward blast down the motorway. We had debated between us, do we book hotels or do we wing it? We booked and stayed in a place called Chalon-sur SaČ?ne. Day 2 was on to Gap and it was the approach to this town that the scenery started to pick up. As the view from our hotel above shows we were now in on the edge of the Alps. We were all looking forward to day 3 we had heard a lot about the Route De Napoleon otherwise known as the N85 and it definitely lived up to all the expectations.


It was a great biking road. However just as we reached the Mediterranean coast it started to rain and boy did it rain I was soaked through to my underwear. but we pressed on. My personal highlight was the ride out on Day 6 just under two hundred bikes meandered their way around the hills above the coast line with outstanding views. We eventually stopped at Col De Canadel overlooking Cavalairesur Mer where the view was something else. Then we dropped down into the town and were met with free beer, food and a band on the promenade, a brilliant ride. Trouble was before you knew it, it was time to set for home. Malc and I had one last ride out to the Gorge de Verdon nicknamed the French Grand Canyon. Well it wasn't quite as impressive as that but it was a good ride and some great scenery. I can't wait to go again, there is so much to do and so little time to do it, I'm just going to have to retire I need more time off. We stayed with Al Fresco Holidays on site, you need to get in early, some people have booked for next year already. If you want any information to help you plan your trip just ask Malcolm he is the fount of all knowledge. Chris

Wow, did one guy really travel from St Petersburgh in Russia to be at our Rally? Yes, Anton (a friend of our Webmaster, Robin Sasson) made a journey of over 3 days to get to our rally. Whilst in the UK he plans to visit some of our other favourite locations. We also had a large contingent from Belgium, the Flanders Fields Chapter join us at the Rally as well as a big showing from New Forest Chapter. We had fellow guests from Belfast, Dunedin, Wales and the West Country, The Midlands, East of England (Fenlanders), and some from more local Chapters, Oxford and Hogsback. In all we had around 100 Thames Valley members at the rally, some missing out due to the ride to Prague, others from prior engagements (Fred was giving his Daughter away). The weather was obviously a factor in the success of the rally but honestly, a combination of dedication from the organisers and a willingness to join in and have fun by our guests for the weekend made it the Rally we wished for! Well done all and thank you for your continued support! Nick




Being the head of the rally committee, I found myself running around all weekend making sure that we had cover for the necessary positions on the gate, field and registration tent, whilst liaising with the football club and the traders. I think I spoke to nearly everybody attending the rally making sure that they were enjoying themselves. By the looks of everybody's faces they all seem to be enjoying themselves. I think I spent a total of twenty mins with Doris over the three day, finally getting home mid-afternoon on Sunday after an amazing weekend. A massive “Thank you” to all the volunteers that helped out this weekend. Also, I'd like to thank Sarah, Paul and the bar staff from the football club, Nick West and all of the Valley Rally committee for putting the rally together and helping throughout the weekend. Lastly, but by no means least, I’d like to thanks Reading Harley Davidson dealer for sponsoring Thames Valley UK Chapter. I’m looking forward to seeing if we the Thames Valley UK Chapter are able to put another rally on next year. A bit wiser and a lot more knackered than usual. Jamie






The road to becoming a rider So, what does it take these days to get your license and be let loose on the road on your very own shiny Harley-Davidson? In our Chapter, we are lucky to have riders with many years of experience behind them (no, I’m not calling anyone old!) who fondly recall their test as a ride around the block whilst an examiner waited for them.

Many of these riders have been surprised when I have explained the steps you have to go through in order to obtain your license now. Also, with a few of our pillion members taking part in the recent bike induction sessions, I thought I’d explain the route to being able to tear up your L plates and ride off into the sunset…in staggered formation, of course! Step 1 – Compulsory Basic Training There are five modules to complete typically over 1-2 days. This allows you to ride up to a 125cc motorbike with L plates for two years, however you will not be allowed to take pillion passengers or ride on motorways. The five modules cover clothing and eyesight check, on-site training, on-site riding, on-road training and on-road riding. You must obtain your CBT certificate before embarking on any further on road training or tests. Step 2 – Theory Test There are 2 parts to this computerised test. Firstly, a multiple-choice test and then a hazard perception test where you have to identify hazards in video clips of road riding scenarios. You book and take these as a single test and you have to pass both parts to pass the test. A pass certificate is valid for two years. Step 3 - Direct access scheme (DAS) training The DAS is for those people who would like to get a full unrestricted motorbike licence. You will need to take the tests on a bike with at least 595cc engine capacity in order to be able to ride a Harley-Davidson. There are two modules to complete. Module 1 - this test assesses your motorcycle handling skills. It is conducted at a DVSA test centre on a large tarmac off-road yard marked out with cones called the Motorcycle Manoeuvring Area (MMA). The test lasts around 15-20 minutes. The exercises you will be required to perform are shown on the diagram. These are:


1.

2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11.

Manually wheeling the motorcycle from one space to another and using the stand Riding a slalom Minimum of two figures of 8 Slow ride at walking pace U-turn within defined lines Cornering Controlled stop within cones 30kph/19mph circuit ride 50kph/19mph emergency stop 30kph/19mph circuit ride 50kph/19mph hazard avoidance

Module 2 - The Module-2 test assesses your road-riding skills. It is a 40-minute test conducted on the public roads and starts from a DVSA test centre. You will be followed by an examiner who will give you directions over a one-way radio. There will also be a 10-minute independent road riding section where you will be instructed to navigate the road signs to a particular destination. At some stage you will be asked to perform an angle start (pulling out from behind a parked vehicle) and an incline start (hill start). The test route will incorporate a wide variety of road and traffic situations and at all times you will be expected to comply with the rules in the Highway Code and ride according to the Essential Skills. You will also have to answer some questions from a list of Motorcycle Safety Questions, one show-me, one tell-me. So there you have it! From experience, what I will say is that once you have obtained your full license and have your own bike, THAT is where the real learning (and fun!) starts. Happy riding!


Petrolheads Classic Cars & Bikes Show @ Pinewood Nursery’s Beautiful Sunny Sunday. Ten gathered for a short ride from Beaconsfield Services to Stoke Poges. I was an ideal day for showing off bikes and cars. Darren, the organiser did a great job and plenty turned up despite lots of other events on that day. He had allocated us a space to show off our chrome. I have to say, there were some nice old chrome Yank cars there. They hold a breakfast meet here every last Sunday of the month from 10am-12pm. This was their annual day event. Good low key, friendly atmosphere and one of the better ones I’ve been to. Both bikes and cars are very welcome. So, if you have a classic or want a good place to grab a bacon roll, cuppa, reminisce, go down memory lane and have a chat, this is the place to go. There is also the Nursery to visit and 10% discount is given there during show times if exhibiting. Thanks to those that pitched up. It was an enjoyable few hours ;-) Mike J



News from the Cloud The Website, Phone App and of course Valley Rally site are running smoothly; the majority of work this month was to ensure software updates and patches (not the biker type) were applied and assisting users where necessary. Despite Valley Rally being over, the Valley Rally website will be maintained and developed further; it’s a useful tool that search engines (such as Google and Bing) are indexing which we can use to direct users to the main Chapter Website. And talking of Valley Rally – what an incredible event we had! The positive feedback I received from Chapter and non-Chapter members was amazing. Particularly nice was meeting some of the attendees that I’d conversed with online about Valley Rally in the weeks and months leading to the event. I spent a few hours on the gate entry on each of the days and checked in the arrivals as they rode up. I knew this would be a challenging task, especially as queues started to form and large vehicles that use the approach road tried to get around them. But all attendees were patient and happy to wait whilst I checked their tickets in applied the handcuffs, I mean security bands! I had a few riders that had seen the A-boards on the main road and tried to get in despite not being tickets holders. Some refused to buy a ticket, some tried to ride around me (teenagers on scooters) and one or two were argumentative bordering on aggressive. It’s amazing how reaching for a radio made all these fools U-turn and ride away quickly. Jamie, our Head Road Captain very kindly bought me a patch to celebrate these small conquests: No event runs smoothly, not even the best planned ones and there was a lot of planning and preparation for Valley Rally. I certainly have learned and thought about improvements I’d like to suggest to the organising committee for the future rallies. If you have suggestions email them into me at webmaster@thamesvalleyhog.org.uk and I’ll pass them on.


Passwords Let’s talk passwords for a bit. I despair over the number of passwords I have and the frequency that I must change them. It’s a necessary inconvenience for all the good stuff that devices, websites and apps provide to us. A weak password can be hacked, guessed and compromised in thousandths of milliseconds with the new generation of hacking tools freely available online and some of the best ones only cost a few dollars to buy anonymously. These hacking tools will use dictionaries of common passwords to try an illicit login and some dictionaries contain entries of millions of passwords that hackers can use. So what makes a strong password, and something you can remember easily? You could start choosing a secure password with a phrase. in my case: RobinRidesHisGlide This is a weak password as it contains my name and real words. The positive points are that it’s at least 10 characters long and contains a mix of capitals and non-capitals. Let’s make it stronger – I’ll substitute the letter ‘e’ with the number 7: RobinRid7sHisGlid7 This is a medium strength password. Let’s make it stronger: %Ro) inRid7sHisGlid7% I’ve placed some non-alphabetic characters at either end and in my name. As a result, the strength of the password, has increased. More importantly the passwords’ entropy has increased. In password theory Entropy is a measure of how unpredictable data is. There are lots of websites that will generate a secure password for you. If you need some help let me know. To summarise, here are some quick rules when making a password stronger: Use a mix of Capital and Non-Capital Letters Do make use special characters such as $ % & * £ ( ) Use some numbers instead of letters, but please don’t use a number as your password.


When swapping out letters for other characters (capital or non-capital), hackers know most people do the following, so don’t do them: Use 0 for the letter O Use 1 or ! for the letter i Use 3 for the letter e Use 4 for the letter A Use 5 or $ for the letter S Use 8 for the letter B And just for clarity, the above password is not one I use!

Anton Ulanov At the Valley Rally Saturday night speech given by Nick, Anton Ulanov was mentioned as having ridden from St. Petersburg, Russia to attend Valley Rally. Just process that for a second: Ridden from St. Petersburg, Russia to Beaconsfield. Myself and a few other Chapter members met Anton last year at the Lads Weekend 2017 in Belgium and he joined us for lunch and a day of riding on the coast. That year he was biking around Europe and camping wherever he could overnight. The Valley Rally was part of a larger UK trip that I helped him plan earlier this year. By the time he arrived at the Rally on Friday, other Chapter members were helping Anton to refine his riding plans. He left us on Saturday morning and was soon posting social media pictures from London, Cambridge, Northumberland and Edinburgh. Sunday’s postings included Stonehaven, Loch Ness, Ballacurish and The Highlands.


Monday started at Argyll And Bute and included Liverpool and Snowdonia amongst others. And by Tuesday 3rd July he’d crossed the Severn Bridge and made it to Land’s End. I tried to map out his UK route on Google Maps, but it couldn’t handle the number of destination stops. Top tip! If you have a lot of destination stops use Bing Maps:


Harley Davidson La Rochelle. Possibly the most friendly dealership in Europe. Called in with mate's sick bike (clutch trouble). Parked up and as we walked in, a voice shouts out "Would you like coffee?" in good english. This was the start of an incredible experience. We were given a handful of pressies each and a tour of the shop. Told the service manager what was wrong (again good english) and next thing Dave's bikes in the shop and three techs are around it. They stripped the clutch and gearbox to find crappy oil and then proceeded to go right through the bike. Four and a half hours later they had rebuilt it, changed all the oils and road tested it. Unbelievably the did all that for â‚Ź83. Anyone ever get the chance call in. Amazing place. Alan
