Big $ savings with HOG Fly'n Ride
I've been renting Harley's in Vegas for the past several years and decided to join HOG solely for the Fly'n Ride rental program. I am renting an Electra Glide for 4 days in November and touring the north rim of the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon, and Zion Park.
The cost through the local Harley dealer (LVHD) is $670 for a rental from 9am on November 18 until 4pm on November 21. The cost with the HOG Fly'n Ride program is $300 - a savings of $370. National HOG membership costs $45 per year.
Just thought I would pass on this info for those of you who rent Harley's.

Would your personal bike insurance cover it or is it included in the rental price?
Fly & Ride includes theft/repair insurance with a <gulp> $2,000 deductible. My personal motorcycle insurance also covers me for motorcycle rentals. Check with your insurance company.
I also purchase yearly travel/medical insurance from TD Bank in Canada. It only costs $72 per year. If I am injured in the USA they will stabilize me until they can fly me back to free health care in Canada.
----------
Is this your reason for starting at Vegas ?
I attend a poker convention in Vegas every November. The convention is just an excuse to go to Vegas every year to gamble and bomb around the deserts on a rented Harley.
Here is the HOG Fly & Ride page - it lists locations and dates that rental locations are open. Some locations close during the winter months.
----------
Things are a bit slow in Vegas...may be part of the reason rate is lower.
HOG rates are $100 per day. Some locations (Hawaii?) cost a bit more. One of the benefits of the HOG Fly & Ride is that they charge per night, rather than per day - you can pick up the rental at the beginning of the first rental day and return it at the end of the final rental day. My 3-day rental costs $300 ($100 per day) but I have the rental from 9am on Wednesday until 4pm on Saturday.

are you aware that the North Rim of The Grand Canyon visitor's center, lodging & camping are closed from Mid-October to Mid-May?
Yes, I might skip the Grand Canyon if the weather is bad. I hear that the road to the north rim goes through some rather high elevations. I have a T-bag that I use as a carry-on for my flight. I pack my helmet, leather, gloves, and rain gear inside my T-bag and bring it on the plane with me. I'm Canadian so I am used to cold weather riding. It usually gets down to about 50 degrees at night in the deserts around Vegas in mid-November.
----------
HOG rentals have to made a month or two in advance and the bike selection is somewhat limited. I had my choice between a Road Glide, Electra Glide Classic, and one other bike that I can't remember at the moment.
I am making three major motorcycle trips this year. I did Sturgis in August and the Tail of the Dragon in September on my 2003 Low Rider and I am doing the Grand Canyon, Monument Valley, and southern Utah in November on a rented 2009 Road Glide. Sometimes life is good!
I am 48 years old and plan on buying a bagger for my 50th birthday. Last year I rented a Street Glide for 3 days, this year I am renting a Road Glide for 3 days, and next year I will rent an Electra Glide for 3 days. Gotta figure out what model I want to buy for my 50th!
