The Accordion Effect Devotion
When my brother John and I attended basic training at Fort McClelland, Alabama, almost immediately I became painfully aware of the term “accordion effect”. Those of you who have been in the military will most assuredly cringe at those horrible words. The accordion effect happens when a company of soldiers is on a road march. If the soldiers in the lead do not maintain a constant pace, the soldiers following must continually speed up and slow down over and over. Those soldiers who are unfortunate enough to be in the rear are forced to sprint while carrying sixty pounds of equipment and a weapon just to keep up. The “speed up, slow down” motion of the group resembles the movement of an accordion while it is being played which is where the term comes from. On a recent 2000-mile road trip, my buddy Big Dave was riding in the back of our group and yours truly was in the lead. As we rolled through the hills of Kentucky, I was attempting to maintain a constant 50 to 55 mph which was perfect for the route we had chosen that day. When we stopped for a short break and some gas, Big Dave came up and mentioned that he had been running 60 to 65 in order to stay with the group. Again, this is the accordion effect. Over the years, I have noticed the same sort of thing happening while riding in toy runs and other large group events. The bike in front may be tooling along at 45mph, but the guy in the rear could be trying to keep up at 70mph before suddenly slowing to a crawl. With a hundred or so motorcycles, any small change in the front of the pack translates into a “ride hard and then slow down” effect for those in the rear. This is nothing new to those of us who have been riding for most of our lives, but folks who are new to motorcycling could get a little unnerved when this happens. I have seen riders gas it as hard as they can for a few seconds only to leave skid marks on the pavement when the group in front of them slows to a snail’s pace. It happens on every group ride that we do no matter where it goes. While it was awesome fun, it can also be very dangerous. On a recent memorial ride for a deceased brother, I found myself doing 70mph or so on a back road in Clinton, SC trying to keep up only to slow to about 25mph when we reached the lead motorcycles. I am used to this, and it really doesn’t bother me. One of the bikes in front of me, however, apparently did not understand this concept. It was easy to see he was not at all comfortable with the situation and I chose to stay back an extra bike length or two just to give him a little room.
10
So why all this talk about the accordion effect? The speed of motorcycles up front may only fluctuate a mile per hour or two, but by the time that slight difference reaches those in the rear, it can be quite dramatic. The bikes in the back may be really struggling, but the guy up front most likely has no idea. His actions, great or small, directly impact everyone involved. This is true in our daily lives as well. Our actions can and will directly impact those around us in a positive or negative way, possibly for generations to come. We may never realize how something seemingly insignificant to us, has far reaching implications. Have you ever heard of Edward Kimball? Probably not... In 1858 Kimball was a Sunday School teacher who made a commitment to give every young man in his class the chance to accept Christ. One of those students was Dwight Moody. Kimball visited Dwight at the shoe store where he worked, eventually leading the young boy to Jesus. D.L. Moody became an evangelist who preached to thousands of people during his lifetime. Seventy-four years later, in 1932, a young Billy Graham accepted Christ at a Christian Crusade in North Carolina where one of D.L. Moody’s many successors was preaching the gospel. While Edward Kimball never knew Billy Graham, his commitment to Christ directly led to Billy Graham becoming a Christian and millions upon millions of people hearing the gospel. Billy Graham became the pastor to not only all of America, but to leaders around the globe. All because a guy visited a shoe store to speak with a young man about Jesus. To someone, you could be Edward Kimball. What you deem to be the smallest, most insignificant gesture may change people’s lives for generations to come. When you offer and encouraging word, share a meal with someone, or even drop a coin into a Salvation Army bucket this Christmas, you could be making an enormous difference in someone’s life. When you do, you may never know the lives you touch. “And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” Hebrews 13:16 NIV

Drr. D Dilligaf illigaf Dear Dr. Dilligaf, With the weather turning colder how do I know which heated gear is for me? Sin-serly, Cold!! Dear Cold, (Hell may be your go-to...) You have several options depending on your bike and it really is a matter of preference; you can get heated grips and/or seat or if you prefer you can get gloves and/or jackets that plug into your bike And that’s just to start with... I personally, don’t want anything on my body that is plugged into my bike! I personally would get the heated grips and/or seat however just like everything else about YOUR bike; it’s YOUR choice! ~Dr. Dilligaf

If you have been offended, understand; that is not our objective. Thank you thick skin readers and for those other readers; the Chrome Crew offers FREE hugs! Send in YOUR Questions for Dr. Dilligaf to: carolinachrome@yahoo.com.
Dear Dr. D, Hopefully you are a girl or have a female perspective for this question... Why, do I always, feel like, I have to pee while riding in the cold weather ? I love riding on the back with my husband, especially to the mountains, or even on my own to the post office! But, gezzzzzzz, Ive only had one kid, and lost my 3rd virginity to him so I don’t feel like I need the “wet absorbing” panties....YET!!! HELLLLLPPPPPPP?????? ~Anonymous According to Google it’s most likely a little thing called “cold diuresis” which pretty much your blood vessels constricting to preserve your internal organs warm and your kidneys filter out excess fluid by you guessed it urination. Buy the panties (one girl to another!) Good luck Dr. D

Save the Tatas Save the Tatas is an annual event that was held on Saturday, November 17, 2021 and is hosted by the Carolina Rebels MC, Sumter Chapter. They team up with Shuckers of Sumter to host this event annually. They have been hosting this event for 8 years now. The event started off small with only a t-shirt for profits. The Rebels also had to put the Tatas on hold for a couple of years due to the Carolina Rebels Clubhouse burning down and Covid. In 2020 the Carolina Rebels brought the event back by adding more sponsors, a band, and raffles!
This year they were able to raise $1,500.00 for the Susan G. Komen Organization! This organization is the world’s largest nonprofit source of funding for the fight against breast cancer today! Susan G Komen started her fight to beat breast cancer when her sister died of Breast cancer in 1980. She Promised her dying sister she would do everything she could to end breast cancer. They have already reduced the amount of deaths from breast cancer by 40% and she promises she won’t stop until that promise is fulfilled. The Carolina Rebels MC, Sumter Chapter with Shuckers of Sumter put on a great event.
Let’s Save the Tatas in 2022!

2020; 25th Annual Gaston County Toy Run for Kids By Wally Wersching On December 5th the 25th Annual Gaston County Toy Run for Kids was held in Gastonia, NC. The meeting place was the Ranlo Church of God in Ranlo, NC, which is located just north of Gastonia on Cox Road. All that was required to participate was a new unwrapped toy. The group left with a police escort at 11:30AM on their tour of the area dropping off toys along the way. The ride went to Dallas, Bessemer City, Gastonia, and ended at Parkwood Baptist Church on Garrison Ave. in Gastonia. Hundreds of toys were distributed to families in need out of U-Haul trucks at each stop. I went last year, and had a great time. I decided to go again this year especially since I attended a couple fundraisers for the run this year. That’s where I met a few of the people who were responsible for the run every year. I had a plan for Saturday if the weather cooperated. It was the first Saturday of the month so I’d have breakfast at the Crestview Baptist Church to start. Then, I wanted to arrive at the Ranlo Church of God before 10:30AM so that I would have time to visit with the bikers as they rode in, and before they left at 11:30AM. It was raining hard when I went to sleep on Friday night. There were even claps of thunder during the night. I was worried that it would still be raining in the morning. I awoke at about 6:15AM. It was still dark but not raining – that was a good sign. After walking the dog, I drove to the Crestview Baptist Church where I had a delicious breakfast with friends. I also gave out a few magazines to the bikers who were there. When I returned home, I dressed for the ride. It was still in the upper 40’s outside so I wore long johns, my chaps, and my winter leather jacket. I left home at 9:15AM heading east on Rt 74. I stopped at the gas station at the intersection with Rt 180, and met “Grumpy”. Then we both headed east on Rt 74. We merged into I85, exited at the Cox Road exit, and turned left to go north. After a couple miles, we turned right to go into the large parking lot for the church. It was about 10:15AM, and we were guided into the lot by members of the Carolina Thunder, and Guardians of the Children (GOC). I parked “Miss Vickie” along the outer boundary of the parking lot. I didn’t want her to be in the way when all the other bikes came. “Grumpy” did the same since he wasn’t going on the run either. The main part of the lot was empty, but there were quite a few bikes parked near the U-Haul box trucks.
20
I loaded my shoulder bag with magazines, and started to walk around. I walked past the Biker Lawyer trucks. The U-Haul box trucks were filled with toys, and volunteers were busy placing toys in the trucks. There was a line of children waiting for the OK to go to the trucks, and get their toys. The toys were for anyone who needed a toy for their kid for Christmas.
I walked over to the trailer with the 2005 Sportster that was being raffled off. They were still busy selling tickets. The drawing would be later in the afternoon. By then, there was a steady stream of bikers riding in. Members of the Carolina Thunder and the GOC had their hands full trying to squeeze in as many bikes as they could in an orderly manner. The club members would also be “Road Guards” during the run. Even with police escort, because there would be so many bikes, they would still need someone to block traffic at intersections.
WWW.CHROMESC.COM
As I took pictures, I realized that it wasn’t going to be easy to take good pictures. The bright sun was low in the sky, and if the sun wasn’t in my eye, the reflection from the chrome, paint, windshields, and mirrors was. I was glad that I was taking digital pictures that didn’t cost anything.
As I was walking around, I was looking for Victory motorcycles. I have learned that the owners of a Victory motorcycle are very friendly – especially to another Victory owner – me. I saw a beautiful bright blue Victory bagger parked next to another red one. I talked with the owner of the blue one. She was very friendly. Her husband owned the red one. She told me about her father-in law who owns eight Victory motorcycles. He has them in a carpeted garage, and sits there enjoying their company while drinking his beer. I stopped to talk with a young man who owned an unusual Sportster. It was an older one in a hardtail frame with no front brake. We laughed about it being a ”Young Man’s Bike”. He said that he only takes it on short trips – it’s not very comfortable. With so many bikes coming in, they almost ran out of room. The last group parked their bikes up near where I parked “Miss Vickie”. The lot was almost completely full. In the last group, were members of the “25th Hour” club out of Charlotte. I was surprised to see three beautiful Victory baggers in the group. I had to talk with them, and give them a few magazines. We hit it off, and I told them about the “Easy Pull” add-on for their clutch. They didn’t know about it but after feeling “Miss Vickie’s” clutch, they all said that they would definitely get one for their bikes. It’s a win-win situation. It is easier to pull, and saves the clutch cable.
The bikers were going back to their bikes. It was time to leave. The first to leave were the box trucks, and then the beginning of the bikers. It took over 20 minutes for them all to leave.
I walked to the road to get some pictures as they rode by. The traffic was stopped to let all the bikes out of the parking lot.
I continued taking pictures of the bikes as they passed. Some bikers waved, and others were concentrating on the ride. I watched as some of the bikers changed lanes trying to get next to their friends. Changing lanes during a long bike parade can be very dangerous. Speaking of being dangerous; I saw one biker pulling wheelies as he tried to catch up with the bike in front. That’s nuts!

Gaston County Toy Run For Kids
Event by Tammy Davidson & Gaston County Toy Run For Kids
@ Ranlo Church of God RAIN OR SHINE Kick Stands Up at 11:30 ~Please bring a new unwrapped toy for children ages 0-16~ Police Escorted
After they all passed, I walked back to “Miss Vickie” and “Grumpy”, and left. Traffic was backed up with the onlookers trying to get home. It was only a two-lane road with a stoplight in the small town of Ranlo. It took almost fifteen minutes to ride a couple miles. After that, it was a four-lane. I made it to I85 with no problems, and I arrived home just before 1:00PM after stopping to pick up lunch at Showmars. It was a great way to spend a Saturday morning!

We Salute You!
Richard M. Campbell Veterans Home Ride If you missed the Richard M. Campbell Veterans Nursing Home Ride on Sunday, November 7, then you missed an awesome day! This was an event for the books. The Veterans of the nursing home were finally allowed to come outside and join the bikers and supporters after the families of the Veterans insisted they be allowed outside to participate in the festivities honoring our
veterans! It was such an honor to revere these veterans. The Richard M. Campbell Nursing Home houses 220 resident veterans; 8 of them are females. The You Are Not Forgotten Run was once again a huge hit! This event is hosted by the TEUFELSHUNDE MC and was the 15th annual. TEUFELSHUNDE MC (pronounced TOY-FULSHUNDE) is composed of honorably discharged Marines. It stands for “Devil’s Dog in German. This name was said to have been given to the Marines of WWI by our enemies for their ferocity in the Battle of Bel-
leau Wood in 1918.These brothers teamed up with the Special Forces Parachute Team to honor our veterans. TEUFELSHUNDE MC donates 100% of the money raised to the veterans. There is no overhead, or cost taken from the money raised. They were able to raise over $10,000.00 in donations. There were over 1,000 people and over 500 motorcycles. The Richard M. Campbell shuttle bus was even completely full with donations for our veterans by the end of the day! We salute you! Written By: Cammie Bunch

June 17th 1957 This is 2021,Then it was June 17th 1957. I'm 11 yrs. old,live on a big farm,been welding for 3yrs. I can re-build starter, Generators & Carbs, and today is PAY DAY. So heading into town, on the way I saw Elie Brown out by his barn. It's the first time I ever saw it open. His wife "Ma" Brown was chewing his ass out for it being a shit hole, but I had the hots for Missy,his Grand Daughter,(cute). Anyway I voluntered to clean out the barn for him,he was a lazy dude, So he jumped on the offer. I got to keep what I wanted. In the back I saw a Head light, wheel and front fender. Me and a couple of Buddy's hauled 2 loads to the dump. I had a Farmall CUB & trailer. One load went to the junk shop in town,that got us $23! WOO-HOO!! And took everything elsse home including a 1947 Coshnan Scooter,no it did not run, but got the Title to it from "Ma" Brown. Cleaned the Carb and Gas tank out, New points and it started the third kick! Also needed tires "DRY ROT", There went the $23 bucks! Now in 1957,if you weren't to stupid,you could ride the back roads around "Farmville USA". I never out rode myself or the scooter,even rode to school. 7th Grade had to park accross the street at Scuddars Orchard OH! It had a 1953 Plate on it. Now school is out so it's summertime. Lucky Hogen had a Cushman Eagle. Ted Book had a Harly Hummer. There was a Lamb Bretta in there somewhere & me. Now in town was the"snack bar",Show House, Pool Hall & Bowling Ally. 15 cent games,hot dogs, sun drops and Girls. Girls like anything that has two wheels and they like us and the Gravel Pit or a Spring Fed Lake, and skinny dippin allowed! (Some stories will never be told)
