HOG MEMBER OF THE MONTH "October" Jim Orr "Big Dog" Jim, aka “Big Dog” (to his kids), has been riding motorcycles for more that 40 years! He has been a HOG member for 11 years. He currently rides a Red ’02 Ultra with 106,000 miles on her and “she runs Great!” Jim has owned 10 motorcycles over the years and 3 of them have been Harley’s. His ’02 Ultra is also known as “Baby Girl”. Jim is married to Jeana and they ride together whenever they can. You can mostly see Jim riding solo throughout the county with his hair blowing in the wind and an occasional cigar. Jim & Jenna have 2 children and 3 grandchildren. They have been married for 32 years! Jim is the Owner of “Orr’s Floor Covering” in Mansfield. J im enjoys all types of riding and has been known to go a ton of miles in a short period of time. Jim has been riding since he was 12 years old and in that same year he had his first wreck. In that incident Jim cracked his skull but that didn’t stop him from riding. During his High school years Jim did a bit of dirt bike racing and hill climbing. He still enjoys going to watch the racing and climbing. Jim has visited 29 states and has been to a lot of rallies and he likes the smaller ones the best! He regularly enjoys day trips of 200-300 miles. The Endless Mountains HOG Chapter has been fortunate to had Jim as an Associate Director and Road Captain. He is always ready for a ride! You can find and almost every event lending a helping hand. He especially enjoys the card stops at the annual Poker Run! He would like to see us change the stops of the Poker Run a bit so he can plan some more routes that we can enjoy. You can also find Jim at a good number of the dinner rides. Jim told me that he thinks that the people in the HOG Chapter are “Great” and he enjoys riding with other members whenever he gets the chance. If you see a bike coming toward you and the driver has a great big smile on his face….give him a wave….. It just might be Jim ! |
