On behalf of the entire chapter, as they step down we want to thank Paul and Betty Koermer for the excellent job they have done as our Chapter Directors for the past two years. We only hope we can do as well in our new positions and look to you all for your support. We anticipate a great year and if the planning meeting is any indication, it looks like most of you are eager to get into the swing of things too. We have plenty of visits to other chapters already lined up (Steve likes the idea of doing the ‘far away’ visits in the cold months in the car) and already have many rally and fund-raisers on the calendar. Be sure to get a copy of the updated calendar, either at our holiday party on Jan. 5 or at the next chapter gathering, which will

January 2008

be the THIRD Sunday of the month from now on. In January that is the 20th. We’ll have the current month’s calendar on the website. We plan to keep you informed with anything new, either via email, website updates or the phone tree if needed. Staff members meet at our house on Wed, Jan. 16 at 7pm. It was great to see everyone at the Holiday Party at the Bayou on January 5th. If you weren’t able to make it, hopefully you can next year; it is always a lot of fun. We had our VW for Winterthing there so everyone could see it, even if you won’t be going to OC with us. We really want to give a big thanks to Neal Reynolds for building it, to Paul Koermer for painting it, and to the Javis’s, Sue Miller, and the Surettes for helping us decorate it. I really think we have a winner! Also, for those of you who have not decided to go to Winterthing, please reconsider. We had a great time last year and expect to have a blast this year with the 70’s theme. And lastly a special thanks to all who attended the get-together at our house back in September and made a donation, the ‘Angels at

Ageless riding is the art of staying on your seat – your bike seat, that is. I was at a Michigan Road Riders meeting in July, with average people like Ron (62), R.W. (87) and Ward (85). Two of whom have completed Iron Butt Association rides in the last two years, by the way. I am just 53. I say “just” because about the time I was thinking I was getting older and might have to give up some of my motorcycling, a member who I had never met came to the July meeting. He’s not a new member. He has been riding for about 65 years or so. He pulled into the parking lot on a Gold Wing with a sidecar attached, climbed off the bike, and helped his wife out of the sidecar. Lou is 97 years young, and his wife, Judith, is 88 years young. I figured that I at least have about 44 years of riding to look forward to.
