Douglas County HOG Chapter Inspect Your Bike EVERY TIME The Motorcycle Safety Foundation's T-CLOCS method is an efficient way to inspect your bike before traveling: T: Tires - Make sure both tires are properly inflated, using an air pressure monitor that you bring with you on rides. Don't risk riding on tires that might need replacement; if suspect a tire will not last long enough for a ride, have it replaced. C: Controls - Are your cables (clutch and brakes) and controls intact and working? L: Lights - Make sure your headlights (high & low beam), turn signals, and brake lights work. O: Oils & fluids - Check everything from engine oil and coolant to brake fluid. C: Chassis - Ensure that the frame, suspension, chain, and fasteners are all secure and intact. S: Stands - Make sure the center stand and/or side stand isn't cracked or bent, and that springs properly hold the assembly away from the pavement when stowed.

The trend has been growing strong for the last five years and Harley projects the trend to remain. To meet this growing need and introduce women to the sport, dealers offer women's only specialty events. On Thursday, April 27, 2011, Mile High Harley Davidson of Parker hosted a garage party for women riders. The event is designed to provide current riders with an opportunity to learn more about the sport and for newbies to also learn about new bikes, clothing, parts, service and rider's education courses. The event was well attended by both veteran and novice riders. The women split into different groups and provided an opportunity to learn about the 2011 models and ask questions concerning proper bike selecton and fit. They next spent time with clothing representatives learning about the safety and function features of motorclothes. The evening also involved a stop at the parts counter where they learned about parts and accessories for their scooters. And last, but not least, they had an opportunity to spend time in the service department for a discussion of the importance of timely service. Armed with all this new knowledge, the group also spent time with members of the local Hog chapter.According to Deb Ferguson, board member of the newly formed Douglas County HOG chapter, the chapter will be reaching out to new riders by offering a mentoring program.
