Chapter Directors Words of Wisdom Wow October Already! Now the rest of the story, I got a new tire and installed in time. I had a couple of issues with my bike.

We found a replacement and the next day we noticed the set screw fell out. I was glad I had my handy men with me. That was the last of our surprises for the trip.

2 Chapter Directors Words of Wisdom Wow October Already! Now the rest of the story, I got a new tire and installed in time. I had a couple of issues with my bike. The bike was over heating which we found my radiator cap was leaking air. I replaced my CB antenna in July and I found out it was broke again. We found a replacement and the next day we noticed the set screw fell out. I was glad I had my handy men with me. That was the last of our surprises for the trip. Other than the great roads, the scenic look outs, the amazing scenery and great friends. Window shopping can rub off on your spouse, if you haven t taken a new Indian motorcycle for a test ride, you need to. Barb was surprised with them as well. Chapter items; Please think of some people that should be recognized for Family of the Year from Chapter A. We need to nominate and vote at our October Meeting. Also please consider being a Chapter Director. Need nominations and voting completed at the October Meeting. That way the new to be Chapter Director can participate in Fall Follies.

8 Mit s Motorcycle Musings A BASKET CASE It spent twenty years, sitting there, gathering dust, But his mind saw it still in its' prime, And the farmer said, "Son, though it may have some rust, That old horse doesn't owe me a dime." He allowed 'twould be nice, if one just had the time, To restore it to its' former grace, For it saddened him seeing it covered with grime, A forlorn, broken down, basket case. Chorus: Though it's not a "square" Harley by just one springtime, That is really not any disgrace, And that forty-six Harley with forty-five cubes, Was rescued from a basket case. It was crusted with dried chicken droppings and hay, When they wheeled it out in the light, And Olie swore he'd have it running some day, Looking new, looking sharp, looking bright. That mechanical genius examined its' plight, Said, "This derelict's not run its' last race, We'll replace a few parts and make sure that it's right." And he rescued that sad basket case.. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Heartland Wings October, 2013 Page 8
