Thanks Doug

I was wondering if this ride was worth going on.

Has anyone else done it?

Is the pack too large to enjoy the ride?

Is safety a concern?

It just seems BIG.

I would like to do it once, just to see if it is as exciting as it sounds.

Subject: [240] Re: Forum

I didn't realize this was posted on the internet for the whole world
to see.
I thought you wanted to forward it to our members.
Hmmm, I answered you via personal email, before I saw this.

Well maybe now folks will be as bold, with their own comments, and
you will be able to see what you have as of yet missed in their
subleties, and abstainment.

Some people prefer broadcasting, others like a more personal, one on
one type of conversation.
Generalizing vs personalizing.

I see, from Lou's post on the "other STAR240 Forum", that this must
have been discussed recently. Maybe at the BOT meeting, good. Here's
a copy of my reply to that "otherForum"

To the Board of Trustees:
I agree with Lou's comments, about Pat and his willingness to take
on the position of president, when no one else wanted it.
Pat does spend a lot of time on chapter matters.
He also did that last year, as Sgt. at Arms, Tail Gunner, and
Webmaster, a.k.a. Sgt. Tail-Master.
That is why he was a good choice to lead this chapter for 2005.

Hearing other people's concerns and counter opinions should not add
pressure to the position. Ignoring them will.
It should be taken as constructive, not negative.
It is not insubordinate to speak your mind in this country.
Getting this information should help you realize other's desires for
the chapter's direction. There are diplomatic ways to react, without
causing furhther disgreement.

That is why I have approached Pat.
I thought that I was offering him information he was not getting
elsewhere. And frankly, some that he seemed to be ignoring.
I assumed that our previous years of friendship, and respect for
each other, had created an atmosphere conducive to discussions of
these sensitive issues.
My judgement may have been off, slightly, but I hope you can all see
that my intention was to advance open communication throughout the
chapter (especially within the B.O.T., all 5 members).

As far as other members speaking to me about chapter issues goes;
most of that was in conversation with several members at once (some
of them chapter officers). Usually on rides or after meetings.
The comments weren't always directly to me, and are not what I would
call complaints. They are more like concern and/or differences of
opinion. Some members are closer friends and do call or email me,
with questions regarding the chapter. These are not secret
conversations.

As far as chain of command goes;
I am Past President, and was a member of the 2005 B.O.T., till
communications issues changed that. I think those members that
contct me feel I still have some knowledge of chapter protocal.
Most of what I have spoken or written to Pat, is known by other
officers. I only took it upon myself to communicate directly with
Pat, because of a feeling that no one else likes to. A feeling I get
because things seem to go on without remedy.

I care about this chapter, as an institution, because I put a lot of
effort into helping it grow and survive.
I do not ignore issues that could "turn off" members. They need to
be addressed.
There is not one member of this chapter, who we would like to see
leave. In fact, there are a few non active members who I woul dlike
to see more often.
We are a great group of people, and each deserve to always have a
place to ride, here in Star240.
Keeping the chapter up to that standard meens thinking of each
other, before thinking of ourselves. 

I chose on a few occasions, in confidence, to try and present these
issues, to my friend Pat, as a matter of enlightenment and to
suggest he be more communicative, on a one on one basis, with
members. Pat, for the most part, has been receptive and respectfull
of these situations. My only regret is that our discusiions have
become "less than private", but... here we are, again. 

I do not think it is an easy thing to lead a chapter that is always
growing and changing.
Pat, David, Louie, Gail, Scott, Pam, Roxanne, Doug, Kurt, etc. I
thank you all for what you are doing. 

Please, do not get upset, by we members, who want to make our
opinions known. We are all individuals, and will never be in 100%
agreement with all your ideas and plans. 
Take it all with a grain of salt. Consider the CHAPTER'S best
interests and make an informed, well thought out decision on chapter
matters. Use each other as resources. It is difficult, and unfair,
for one person to make all decisions, and take all the heat. 


Now, tell me again what the October ride will be.
Who's leading it?
What time do we leave?
Where from?
Will there be any stops for group photos?

Doug,

I did a little research and here is some info to fill in the blanks...

The ride starts at Boston Harley-Davidson and ends at Pickering Wharf
in Salem.

Registration is 10 AM - 2 PM.

Ride departs at 2 PM.

There will be FREE refreshments in Salem.

I think that this might be fun. Salem around Halloween is a blast and
having a couple thousand bikers there will make it even more fun. If
the weather is good, I might do this. It would be fun to have a Star
240 contingent ride.

......I recognize a lot of new names I haven't seen before, and I want to say thanks for getting the website off the ground. To answer a few questions that have been asked, this is a free website for all the New England Chapters to use. All of the Chapter Presidents are being listed as moderators, and they should invite members of their chapters to join the site. A couple things I hope to accomplish are, a calendar with events going on all over New England at all different time s and places. And a place for Star Members to talk to each other, outside the realm of their own chapter. I believe in honest and open dialogue as a way to reach agreements and cooperation. This site may not be for everyone. Some chapters may not want to Have Fun, Ride a Lot, and enjoy other Star Members, that's OK. I can tell you from experience, our Chapter (291) is known for a good time. Isn't that why we joined?

 ......Please use this site in the best interest of your chapter. If you don't want guests at your monthly meeting, that's OK, if you don't want to attend other chapter party's, that's OK too. I want it all. I can't squeeze enough weekends in a year.....

....... About Star, we have several chapters in the area, including, New Haven, CT, Hartford, CT, Providence, RI, North Adams, MA, Westfield, MA, Worcester, MA, Framingham, MA, Plymouth, MA, Beverly, MA, Concord, NH, Laconia, NH, and Portland, ME. There are several more in the works at this time. Star is growing, and this area is loaded with riders looking for a Family type Association. We have all of the best riding within a couple hours.....

........The obituary was posted for Mike Mullins son, yesterday. It was sad news when I spoke to Mike on Saturday, and I'm sure he is thankful for all the well wishes.....

........There will be an open house membership drive at Chapter 196 in North Adams and I'm waiting to hear if he wants any support. If needed, we can get some riders up there to help out...........

.........Putting together some workshops for the winter, to be held at our warehouse in central Mass. Some already offered are Road Captain responsibilities, Tail Gunner Safety, Vets Benefits, First Aid & CPR certification. Also, a Powder Puff mechanics course, and our own, how to lift a bike.........

........Lets have some input on the site.
