Our sponsoring dealer has hired a new GM that is making some demands we are trying to figure out if we are supposed to support. I know from HOT training the primary reason for the HOG chapter is to encourage riding.

Our dealer before we were in the board positions expected the chapter to support everything they did by cooking, fund raising etc. When we took over we backed out of a lot of that.

The new GM has now told us we need to move our meeting from Tuesday evening to Saturday morning. He also informed us that we (HOG chapter) will be present at least once a month to support an activity by cooking, pushing Harley, etc. He then gave example on how he canned directors from his former dealership.

Anyone got some feedback on how to handle this???? We are a small group (75) with about 15 regulars for support activities.

 

Quit?

 

You're probably in Texas so I won't be able to intentionally avoid this dealer/ dick GM.

 

Start a new club and name ( Fire the GM )

 

HOG can be a great asset to a dealer, but you're not go-fers.

Do your own thing and start meeting at a restaurant or something. That's what my local chapter does.

They're still cool with the dealer.

 

You and I think a LOT alike. I was gonna say; tell them to "suck your d**k" and THEN quit I've been retired too long, I've completely lost my civility when it comes to people who don't deserve it.

 

He's blowing smoke up your skirt, little Hitler's looking for free flunkys to do his bitch work. Act on that as you see fit.

Oh and maybe drop a dime on his *** with Harley corporate.

 

Local dealer here uses little league, boy scouts, etc. to "man the stations" at events. The dealer provides all the food, the charities set out tip jars & keep the proceeds.

Sounds like your dealer needs a tune up.

Any dealerships around you that don't have any hog affiliation? If so, move the chapter.

 

HOG positions are voluntary, right? Unpaid. Tell him to go **** himself and move to another dealer. If the whole group does that, he will be unemployed within a few weeks.
