You're supposed to get 1 year free HOG membership with a new bike. It can take a month or more before you receive a HOG info package in the mail.

I know that I have a local but I am not sure about a national membership. I will have to ask my dealership about that.

It took a month or so last fall for me to get my HOG packet. So far no plans to continue it when the freebe runs out, but that is just me.

National membership is required to belong to the local chapter.

Our present dealer gives a national and local membership for a year with purchase.

It might be an option from the dealer because a friend bought a 2003 Dyna Police bike (new) and the local dealer wouldn't give a national membership.
Left a bad taste in the friends mouth, felt he wasn't being treated fairly. Had a tendancy to buy parts elsewhere. Same dealer went out of business after a few years.
