Gold Wing Road Riders Association - Texas Chapter G

Hot Pepper

Indiana has the Hot Potato, New York has the Rotten Apple, Texas has the Hot Pepper, and your District can have the same fun they're having with this reverse version of the traditional "traveling plaque"!

Chapters are encouraged to get rid of the Pepper as quickly as possible. The "Hot Pepper" or your equivalent  may be delivered to any organized Chapter event. It is intended to encourage visitation and participation with other Chapters within the District. It is the responsibility of the receiving Chapter Director to notify the District Staff immediately that they have been presented the "Hot Pepper".

The log sheet to verify the route of travel and cumulative mileage must be completed by the delivering Chapter and presented with the "Hot Pepper". Cumulative mileage will be the number of people time the number of miles ridden to deliver.

A minimum of 4 Chapter participants is required to deliver the "Hot Pepper". There will be no minimum mileage, but the general rule is, "The farther away you deliver it, the longer it will take for you to get it back". The "Hot Pepper" cannot be delivered to either of the last two Chapters that had it. If the "Hot Pepper" has not moved in 21 days after a Chapter receives it, it will become fair game for any other Chapter to pick up. This can be done by as few as three members of another Chapter at any Chapter function. In this case, mileage to pick up and deliver both count. The Chapter that picks it up will get an extra entry in the drawing at the District Rally. The number of days that a Chapter has possession will be counted and totaled. At the end of the journey, the lower the number, the higher the score you will receive.

Motorcycles will be the only form of transportation from April 1st through October 31st. A drawing is held at the District Rally for the Chapters caught with the "Hot Pepper" during the year. Chapters get one entry for each possession. The winning Chapter has permanent custody of that year's "Hot Pepper". They also have the privilege of starting the next year's contest off.
