Website: www.ottawahog.com Director's View Well as Fall approaches in earnest, we can reminisce on what a great riding season we have had so far, with soaring temperatures and little precipitation. (Who would have thought in Canada, so many would complain that it was too hot?) We had numerous joint chapter rides with Freedom and Renfrew chapters. Our joint chapter BBQs with Freedom went very well as did Test our Metal™ days. Thanks to our Road Captains, L.O.H.®, Activities Officers, Executive members and fellow members who organized and lead rides throughout the past season. We also have quite a few new members and several of the 'Ladies' who have joined us on our weekly excursions. I hope to see all of you on the road before we stop riding for the season. Keep your eyes out for wild life and crazies out there. (p.s. watch out for 'Mr.Donk'; apparently he is legal on 4 wheels now! Congrats Kyle.

Murphy's Motorcycle Laws Submitted by Sue H., from an email received from Andy W. 1. A motorcycle cannot/will not fall over without an audience. 2. The fact your keys are still in your pants pocket will become apparent after you put your gloves on. 3. Motorcycles are to yellow bugs what aircraft carriers once were to Kamikaze pilots. 4. Quick fixes are named for how long they stay fixed. 5. The only part you really need will also be the only part on permanent backorder. 6. Nothing is harder to start than a used motorcycle being shown to a prospective buyer. 7. You will never suffer a punctured tire on the road until you leave the repair kit at home. 8. "Universal" accessories are so named because that is where you must search to find the bike they fit. Eastern Ontario Ottawa H.O.G.® Chapter # 9007 Page 3 of 14 September/October 2012 - Issue No. 09 Dirty Roads and Dusty Bikes - Submitted by Earl Arnold Saturday, July 28, our Road Captain, Richard Auprix, led about a dozen bikes away from the Tim Hortons restaurant in Manotick for a ride to Westport with a "smoke break" in Merrickville. We then continued our journey over winding secondary highways and through scenic villages. I particularly enjoyed passing through Burritts Rapids where we crossed over a single lane bridge that has a road bed surfaced with wooden planks. I totally agree with the residents, this bridge should be saved. A few kilometers outside Westport we encountered road construction (a short stretch of gravel road), followed by a still shorter stop at the gas station for a pre-arranged rendez-vous with our Director Sandy and his wife Dawn. After an excellent lunch at the Country Kitchen, we set out for our return journey. Sandy and Dawn travelled along a different road to rally with us at our next planned stop. Richard led us off the highway towards a lesser travelled narrow serpentine road, one with plenty of hard right and left turns, including numerous sudden changes in elevation making for an exhilarating ride. This is exactly the type of side road that puts a smile on every biker’s face. Ooohhh!! How our smiles soon vanished. We found ourselves unexpectedly staring down another unpaved portion of country road, and we rode over crushed rock for the second time that day. This section of roadway had lots of loose stones and, where it was hard packed, the base resembled a wash board. It took some skillful riding on our part to negotiate this section but we eventually reemerged onto a solid foundation. Our relief was short lived. No sooner had our muscles had a chance to relax that we encountered our next challenge – another section of road without blacktop. Not only was this surface of crushed stone less packed than the previous section, the stone was also deeper and more hazardous to navigate. At one point the bike in front of me slowed down while I was in a particularly deep portion of loose rock. I too slowed down to match the bike's speed. This caused the front end of my bike to dive down and drop towards the left. The only option I could think of to prevent my bike from falling was to roll on the throttle to power out of the spill by gaining a few more kilometers per hour in momentum. After what felt like an eternity, everyone was able to breathe a sigh of relief as the road returned to a paved surface and a posted road sign declared "End of Construction". Louisa displayed her anger by furiously flipping it the finger as she rode by. Everyone was relieved to reach our next stop at Chaffeys Lock along the Rideau waterway. Sandy and Dawn greeted us there with "What took you so long"? Surprisingly enough, these two were not dusty or dirty?!? Sandy had arrived earlier and arranged for us to park our bikes in a shady spot on the grass along the canal. Art elected to park his on the opposite side of the road to perform some much needed maintenance on his bike as you can see from the picture (notice the Swiffer Duster in his right hand). As you can well imagine, the big topic of conversation during this break, after what can only now be described as an expedition, was the road conditions we encountered. There was a lot of teasing and typical good natured bantering and practical jokes that usually accompany our group. Notwithstanding this test of our ability, all the riders agreed that this road would be deserving of a second chance when the construction is over. Once the dust was shaken and the nerves were calmed, off we went to our next pit stop at the Tim Hortons in Smiths Falls. (continued on next page) Eastern Ontario Ottawa H.O.G.® Chapter # 9007 Page 4 of 14 September/October 2012 - Issue No. 09 (continued from previous page) Ten minutes after we were settled in at our tables in Tims, Sandy and Dawn arrived. Now it was our turn to ask them, "What took you so long"? After entertaining each other with more stories and planning future road trips, we realized that the day was getting on and we said our farewells to Sandy, Dawn and a couple of other riders who left to travel along a different route.

  • Place Studies on Tourism and Identity in Modern South Carolina
    ABSTRACT Title of Document: SOMBREROS AND MOTORCYCLES: PLACE STUDIES ON TOURISM AND IDENTITY IN MODERN SOUTH CAROLINA Paula Nicole King, Doctor of Philosophy, 2008 Directed By: Professor Mary Corbin Sies, Department of American Studies This dissertation examines the rise of tourism as an important social and economic force in the U.S. South through place studies of tourist sites in South Carolina. The roadside attraction South of the Border and the historically black town of Atlantic Beach are analyzed as touriscapes that provide historical narratives foregrounding the connections between place and southern identity in the modern era. Touriscapes are defined as places where perspectives overlap and identities intersect to produce spaces of serious cultural and historical significance as well as recreation and fun. Both of these touriscapes were enacted as tourism developed and Jim Crow segregation began to crumble, and they have survived into the twenty-first century. They are sites of commercial development, resistance, and political strife that should be studied, engaged, and preserved for future generations to better understand the complexity of southern history, culture, and identity.

A gathering of Historically Black College and University students and African American youth, Freaknik came to challenge the racial dynamics of a city that billed itself as “too busy to hate.” As black revelers cruised the streets, the congregation of up to 250,000 youth created major logistical problems for the city and forced the residents of the predominantly white neighborhoods of Piedmont Park and Midtown to examine the racial dynamics of Atlanta. These contested neighborhoods became hotbeds of protest, with many white residents viewing the actions of the fete participants as damaging to the neighborhoods. While many within Atlanta’s white community opposed the party, leaders of the black community condemned the actions of African American Mayor Bill Campbell and the white populace for restricting Freaknik, suggesting the actions of Freaknik opponents as racist and unnecessary. Utilizing Atlanta’s Civil Rights legacy, Freaknik participants not only confronted contested spaces of community within Atlanta, but also disputed the ownership of the Civil Rights movement.
