Default HOG membership

This year I purchased my first Harley, is HOG membership worthwhile? Besides roadside assistance what comes with it? Thanks.

save your money, use the free one (you Pay For) when you buy your bike. Check it out, if you like it join if not don't.

I found no use for it.

Some dealers will give you 10% off parts with your membership. At the same time, some dealers will mark up parts prices 10-15 % before they give you the 10% HOG discount

If you perform a search here you will find that the towing service they provide with your membership is terrible.

As said above save your money and the road side assistance is pretty much non existent.

I tend to disagree with most that have posted earlier. Not only am I a HOG Member, but a HOG Chapter member too.

Besides the benefits of meeting and riding with others, I have found a financial aspect too. As an example, there is Ride 365 program. Visit dealers and earn 100 points. But things and earn 4 points for every dollar. When my wife renews for $59., she earns $30 back.

Right now, she has $35, and I have $80. We spent all we had on the grandkids last December - so, it does add up quickly if you pay attention. This riding season, we will probably hit 25 or so dealers - that is 2500 points - represents $25.

So, for me, there is a bit of usable benefits.

Get AAA if you're looking for protection. Then it can apply to all your vehicles.

If you're looking to become part of the herd, then buy into HOG.

I got it for free for a year with my latest bike purchase. Did not renew it.

Never got the quarterly magazine.
My veteran discount is worth more than the HOG discount, and I can only use one.
I don't like herd rides, nor do I particularly enjoy hanging around the dealership.
