Hello Tucson HOG!
I hope January was a wonderful kickoff of 2022 for you, as it
was for me.
We saw a lot of activity for our chapter, that included the
return of the fun "Meet n Eat", our annual Chili Cook-off,
several group rides, and the big HOG Winter Roundup in
Yuma. You would be proud to know that our Tucson Chapter
was well represented in Yuma, despite a lower number of
chapters participating than in previous years. However, that
did not stop us from having a wonderful time with HOG
members from the 17 different chapters that were in
attendance. It was announced that the 2023 Winter Roundup
will be held in Laughlin, Nevada at the Tropicana Hotel &
Casino. I hope you can make plans to be a part of the fun!
I would like to invite you to join me on Saturday, February 26th as I lead a ride up to Desert Wind HD in Mesa
for their annual "HOGapalooza", sponsored by the East Valley HOG Chapter. For the first time, your Tucson
HOG Chapter will be overseeing the bike show. If you would be interested in being a judge, just email me at
assistantdirector@tucsonhog.net.
Remember, if you would like to submit ideas for rides and other events, you can email me at
assistantdirector@tucsonhog.net.
Let's Ride!

Many activities are going on around the two dealerships as we start the new
year. The last Saturday in January and the first one in February showcases
the chili cook offs. Watch the newsletter next month to see who the winners
were. I will be putting my chili in the cook off at THD.
On Saturday, January 22nd, THD hosted a swap meet with pancake
breakfast. The attendance was light, probably due to the dark clouds, light
rain and cool temperatures. But those that did show up got treated to some
yummy pancakes prepared by volunteers from our HOG chapter. Glad I was
there to help out.
See you next time. Ride safe!

Hello Tucson HOG!
It's February! The month of LOVE, so give your bike some love and
ride! I know mine needs a really good bath too!
We are getting more and more membership forms in, and the
numbers are changing daily! So, make sure your paperwork or
someone you know has turned in their paper work. Paper work can
be emailed to me at membership@tucsonhog.net.

Hello, Tucson HOG! I hope everyone has been getting out riding and
enjoying the mild weather.
Another HOG Winter Roundup is in the books and it was a great
weekend! There were 231 HOG members from 15 chapters at the
Roundup and Tucson HOG had 20 attendees. We enjoyed some good
social time, riding, and a nice trip to Mexico for lunch.
Coming up in February, we have a great ride planned for after the general
membership meeting on the 12th. I hope everyone can join us for a ride
out through 3 Points and Arivaca to Amado for lunch at the Longhorn.
We’ll get to check out the 20+ miles of new pavement on Arivaca Road
along the way!
Also in February is the 4th annual HOG-A-Paloooza at Desert Wind HD in
Mesa. We will have two group rides going up this year. One will leave
Friday afternoon from THD at 1:00 pm for those who want to spend the
night (special rate at the Holiday Inn Mesa). The second will leave
Saturday morning at 07:30 from the Speedway on Oracle Rd. if you can
only go up for the day. Check the calendar for details.
We had several HOGs get their initial Ride 365 mileage turned in after the January meeting. If you haven’t
done so, stop by either dealership and get your 2022 starting mileage taken. You can see Ronnie in Service at
OPHD or Paul in Sales at THD.
Keep the shiny side up,

Greetings, HOG Friends,
Well, I had a great time at Winter Roundup. I’ll let you all in on a few of the … off-
schedule happenings!
First, we had a few riders who trailered their bikes there. Amongst them our friend
Woodie. He has a really nice trailer, but when he got there—Oh, no! The battery was
dead! What to do? No worries! Numerous HOGs came to the rescue.
So, I guess you shouldn’t keep your FOB next to your
bike when trailering on account of the thing thinks it’s
being stolen for the whole trip—200+ miles, in this case.
Next, 2-Pop and Keith and I rode the back way into the
Yuma Proving Grounds Open Air Museum, which has a
ton of tanks and huge guns and things. Of course, I had
the exhibit covered before 2-Pop got through talking to
one of his old HOG friends from Colorado, so I got to
walk through it a second time.

Finally, It turns out Keith may have violated some law
because I found him incarcerated at the Yuma Territorial
Prison.
That’s all for now.

Wow! What a great time we had at Winter Round up this year. 231
people from 15 chapters were in attendance, unlike last year when
only five of us from Tucson showed up winning last year‘s chapter
challenge. We collected our prize, consisting of beer and whiskey.
Oh my!
This year Tucson Hog had 20 members with five first timers in
attendance.
Can’t wait for Winter Round up next year. The new location will be
the Tropicana in Laughlin it will be awesome.
Looking forward to HOGAPALOOOZA this month Saturday,
February 26. Always a great time with EV Hog.
Check out the Tucson Hog calendar for information on upcoming
Rides events.
Remember! Send your Tucson Hog related photographs to:
photographer@tucsonhog.net and check out SmugMug through the

Welcome to all 2022 Tucson HOG Chapter 096 members. It's great to be back
holding meetings inside once again. Hopefully this last variant of Covid has
seen its' better days and is behind us.
There is a lot going on this year and everyone needs to get involved and help
so all our members can enjoy what we, as a group, have to offer one another.
I have brought back the Person of Interest starting in February. I interviewed
one of our members and will do that report at the February General
Membership meeting on Saturday, February 12th, at 9am. The report will be
published in the March edition of the newsletter. I like to try and keep people
guessing who I'm talking about and sometimes the newsletter arrives before
the general meeting.
Besides writing on the history of our chapter and what rides we've gone on as
your Historian, I created this Person of Interest so our membership can get a
little "history' on its' members themselves.
Lots on rides recently to report on. Thank you to the road captains who have provided me the details so I can
report them back to you. Don't forget, if you go on a ride (either solo or in a group), and you want it published,
just email it to me at historian@tucsonhog.net. Let me know the destination, how many bikes and riders, the
mileage driven and anything else about the ride.
