This week's spotlight are Tisa and Bill Lawless!

Tisa & Bill bought their first Harleys and joined Decatur HOG in 2017. When Tisa expressed interest in switching from a 400cc Suzuki Burgman to a trike, Bill said it would have to be a Harley. They headed out to Coziahr HD and purchased a red 2016 Freewheeler. By December, Bill was the proud owner of a 2002 Road King. Loving purple, Tisa traded her red FLRT for a Snake Venom Freewheeler in 2021. When Harley announced a purple RG3 in 2025, Tisa had to have one! Bill has had three Road Kings and now rides a 2022 denim green Road King Special. Over the years, they have participated in many local rides & bike nites, including those sponsored by Decatur HOG and Coziahr. Longer ride highlights include trips to Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Texas (where they participated in setting the Harley Parade World Record in 2019), Georgia, Florida (dodging hurricanes in 2023), Colorado, Louisiana, and to/from Maryland for a family wedding. They have attended HOG rallies in Springfield, MO, and Lafayette, LA, and plan to attend National HOG in Branson in September. They will be attending their first Sturgis in August 2026, winning Pappy Hoel wrist bands through a Coziahr drawing! Altho Tisa & Bill moved to Arkansas in January 2026, they continue as members of Decatur HOG and Prairieland ABATE. Tisa & Bill invite friends to visit in Arkansas when riding south!

Afternoon lunch ride with the Decatur Hog Group 20 bikes today and a great ride over to Litchfield at Mavericks steak house and buffet. Good food, good friends, and a great ride on an awsome day. But as usual when I lead a ride it starts out nice then gets windy.?? Lol

This week's spotlight is Chris Thunder!

My name is Chris Thunder. I have been riding motorcycles since I was 19 years old, when my father purchased a 1996 Yamaha Virago 750, knowing I had always wanted to ride, but couldn't afford an HD. It had one HD bolt in it, so some nicknamed it my "Yamaha-Hog." I taught myself to ride on that bike because I did not want to wait three months to take the Motorcycle Safety Foundation course. I rode in all types of weather everywhere until I was rear-ended at a T-intersection on my way to college. I hobbled into the dealership on crutches with a cast on my left leg and right arm, ready for the next one: a 1997 Yamaha Virago 1100 that I still have to this day. When I graduated from University in Daytona Beach, Florida, my best friend and I rode to my home in Chicago, and spent the next five weeks tracing the path in Robert Pirsig's book "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance," down the Pacific Coast Highway, and back to Chicago along Route 66, before riding to his home in New York City. When I enlisted in the military, I was the first Soldier to fly back home from Maryland, pick up my motorcycle as my permitted one personally owned vehicle while in training, and ride it to the coast, around base and the local area, and then zig-zagging north and south westbound around the Blue Ridge Mountains, The Great Smoky Mountains, Ohio River Valley, and Great River Road home after graduation. I yearned to earn the Iron Butt, yet always fell short to revel in the surroundings and link up with friends and family along the way. I have ridden the Civil Rights run when I was stationed in Alabama, attended rallies in Daytona, Panama City, and Sturgis; and taken Route 41 like an Allman Brothers Rambling Man! A virtual Forrest Gump of motorcycling! I adore the coastlines, mountains, open plains, and everything in between. There is nothing like throttle wind therapy meditation! I look forward to exploring the Inverse Deals Gap of Illinois (11 curves in 318 miles) and getting to know my new-to-me 2018 Harley Davidson Fatboy Softail as well as the CHD HOG Chapter as weather and my travel schedule permit! Attached you will find a picture of me along the Northern California Coast in 2002, and another of me after my first HD purchase here at CHD last year. I also threw in a couple photos of the HD shop I came across while layovering in Paris last month.

Keep the greasy side down, and shiny side up! Safe travels!
