RE: Enlighten me please!
Mine used to get me a 5% discount at Mike's Famous in Delaware, which was nice cause it was on top of the 7% sales tax I was saving by shopping outside Jersey. So right there I was saving 12% on parts. But they stopped that deal for some "Rewads Proscam". So I will no longer be a HOG member. The roadside assistance is good CYA insurance, but me thinks my bike insurance covers towing, I have to look into it before I opt. out of HOG and renew my regular insurance.

RE: Enlighten me please!
If you've ever had to use the HD towing, it's well worth the money. I've never paid a penny out of pocket.
My dealer had a Riders Reward card that put 10% of purchases into an account from which I could buy more stuff...at retail. It was valid for my first calendar year. Now, if I need genuine HD parts, I prefer to order from Zanotti's where I save 20% off HD's pricing and don't pay sales tax. Shipping is usually negligible.

Just what does my HOG membership entitle me to? Have never bought a new bike or felt the need to join.

dailydriver- That's Funny! hehee
We pay for both of us to have a seperate membership-
I had to use my HOG Membership for towing it helped- but the closest dealer from us was over 100 miles away ( unlimitied???)- they took us back to the motel- hubby drove 12 hrs to get a trailer to tow my sporty back home-
As for the state rally-the one and only timewe went-I've renamed HOG it stands for Harley's Old Geezers- our $80 rally& that's with a membership zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz!
The ppl in our chapter seem a little upity- they started the dinner rides @ 4pm get that! what the he** for the blue plate special??? I'm not into riding in groups
I don'tmind the Map book they send- nice when you travel
the mags 5 mins worth of reading not bad
Dealer here gives 10% discount but Hubby works for dealership so don't need that
I dont wear the pins or patches - ripped them off after the state rally zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Be Safe!

Not all dealers give anyone a discount just for being in their hog chapter. I had the free membership and let it expire. I don't need a patch, pin or another mag. I don't need a new map book every year either. As far as the towing goes....my insurance pays for towing and roadside assistance.
It is a club, you only really need it if you want to join and ride with the others in the chapter. As far as the other info they provide, you can get that for free off of the HD website.
I guess I would rather get something a little more tangible for my money.
