January 2017 Warioto Wings Volume 2 Issue 1 P a ge 3 A Word from your Assistant Chapter Director: Assistant Chapter Director Well, another year in the books! What a good year it was! Not too much time in hospitals this year and lots of miles on the bike. I saw a lot of new country this year and lots of new roads. What I didn't get much of was Chapter rides. I know I was gone a lot of the summer but I think I could have done better putting rides together for the Chapter. So, I have already committed to making sure we have more rides on the calendar next year. I am going to spend some time this winter trying to put rides together that everyone will enjoy. I will have at least one ride per month on a Saturday, and some Sunday afternoon rides also. Please enjoy your holiday and be thankful for all your blessings I will see you in the spring with rides scheduled. I look forward to seeing everyone on 1 January for our new years ride. Hopefully the weather will allow a ride that day. See everyone there!! Dave Jones Remember your ride coordinator needs your help planning rides. Dave Jones could use your ideas as to where to go. Also let him know how you like to ride, ie; what area, how long you like to ride, what day you like to ride, what time of day you like to ride.
January 2017 Wa ri o to Wi n g s V olume 2 I s s u e 1 P a ge 4 Chapter Educator TOP 10 LIST OF THINGS TO DO WHEN YOU CAN T RIDE With temperatures in the teens, and snow, sleet, and rain (or all three at once) in the forecast daily, all we want to do is shut ourselves up in the house, turn up the thermostat, and lament over how long it will be before we can ride again. So to pass the time and satisfy that yearning to be near the Bike, you might do the following: 10. Look at old rally photographs. 9. Talk to friends about good times at past rallies. 8. Read old Wing Worlds and other motorcycle magazines. 7. Watch motorcycle races on TV. 6. Put on your helmet, put on your Chapter vest, sit back in your recliner, and go vroom, vroom, vroom. 5. Put on your leathers and go sit in a restaurant. 4. Drive forward in your garage, stop, put it in reverse and back up. (repeat this five or six times). 3. Put your vest and helmet on and drive in your car with all the windows open or with the convertible top down. 2. Put your motorcycle on its centerstand, start it up and let it run while watching the travel channel. Blow the horn now and then. 1. Stay in the house, put on a pot of coffee and plan your trip to Spring Fling, 2017 in Pigeon Forge! And Always THINK SAFE! Mickey Turner Chapter Educator
January 2017 Wa ri o to Wi n g s V olume 2 I s s u e 1 P a ge 5 MEMBERS CORNER FEATURING TOM MURRAY AND JAN PETERSON Well with the year 2016 closing chapter Q had a very busy weekend of the tenth of December. Starting out we were asked by Rural King here in Clarksville, to help them with their Customer Appreciation Day. They wanted us to serve hot dogs to their customers. Well we accepted the invitation. So Cindy Bidwell, Dennis and Jan Peterson and Tom and Pat Murray had a lot of fun from 10:00 To 2:30 serving 344 hot dogs. This worked out real well, we also combined it with a Fund Raiser for St. Judes Children's Hospital. It turned out to be a very FUN and successful Day. Also on the same day The chapter supported the Christian Motorcycle Association, by taking donations to the Appalachians so they could have a Merry Christmas. On Friday the 9th a convoy of trucks with trailers and cars departed for the mountains. Frank and Dana Wall, Dave Jones, Tim and Carla Toutges were involved in this support. I want to thank everyone who supported these events for the Chapter. We are looking forward to a very successful 2017, We need the support from the Chapter to accomplish this. Come on out and share some of this FUN with us, we will have more of these events in the coming year. Tom Murray Tennessee Chapter Q bestowed on us the honor of being their Couple of the Year for 2017. this is a real honor for us, it shows that the chapter appreciates the things you do to help out. We enjoy traveling and visiting other Chapters, Districts and Regions. While we travel we try hard to promote the chapter district and region and the things we do. This coming year we plan to visit all the Tennessee chapters and bring the Couples plaque home as much as we can. We hope to meet all the other couples and make new friends in the process. Our real hope is that some of our home chapter friends can join us for our visits. Again thank you Chapter Q for honoring us in this way. Jan Peterson
