P&P are Prince and Princess rides sponsored by LOH.  These are skills workshop type rides, usually in a parking lot where we won't run into cars and drivers who don't understand. P&P is for all riders. Skills include emergency stops, s- l- o- w ride (no feet down) circles (turns) or any skill you feel needs to be improved on. As weather improves we may change when and where we go. 


Every Thursday Evening from 5:00 - 6:00 PM - The Motorsports Show (not a GNWHOG event)
Tune in to the
Motorsports Show with Dave Preston on KKNW 1150 AM.  Listen, call in and talk live with Dave on the air. Ask Dave any motorcycle (or motorsports) question you like. You can
email Dave questions beforehand or during the show or phone 425-921-1765.  Yes, this is the same Dave Preston who's our Chapter Treasurer!
