Have you fellas actually read the "BENEFITS" part of your HOG membership??? Seems like quite a few benefits for those of us who actually ride, as opposed to you guys saying HOG doesn't offer anything useful today.
- Riding Rewards
- Loyalty Points
- Unlimited Deluxe Roadside Assistance
- HD Insurance Discount
- 10% Eagle Rider Discount
- 10% off Hilton Hotels
- 50% KOA Rewards Discount
- $40 off Federal Motorcycle Transport
- VIP treatment and exclusive collectibles at major rallies
- Unlimited HD Museum Admission
- And several other benefits
More than pays for itself. But like I said, the ones I listed will benefit those of us who travel on our bikes. If you're just a local dinner-with-the-wife rider, you probably won't see the value.

I've been a Life Member of HOG since 1990. Got my 35-year package some last year.
My wife is also a Life Member of Ladies of Hog (LOH) since 1997.
Neither of us has joined a Chapter or even attended any HOG Rally or even and that's on us.
Eve though I have "road service" thru AAA and also my insurance I have found their services "seriously lacking" and VERY expensive on the one occasion when I needed their services.
I may check into the HOG Roadside Assistance program if for no other reason the distance that they will pick up and deliver my trike to the nearest dealership.
IF I was a "joiner" I would be looking into the dealership(s) near me, or more likely a Rally somewhere during the summer months as now that my wife no longer rides and my other riding partner selling his trike I'm once again a "solo rider".

I can give you my personal account of what a HOG membership can get you and how to make it pay for itself. Send me an PM and I'll give you my 
.
On another note, I've had a conversation with someone high in the HOG/HD food chain and "they" are trying to bring a modified version of Life Membership back. Cross your fingers and call 1-800-CLUBHOG and ask for a lifetime or multiyear membership to be brought back.
Squeaky wheel and all that.
The demise of HOG Life Membership was due to the loss of reoccurring $$. HOG is completely self financed, no money from the Mothership is used to keep HOG National operating.
I didn't ask my source about the multiyear memberships. Hmmm, Ima e-mail him.
sit by......

Life and Multi-year discounted renewals are unavailable. The only thing HOG offers now is automatic renewal.
That's all the latest info I've been able to get.

Guys, I bought my 2006 EG when it was 3 years old. I joined HOG soon after and enjoyed some of the bene's at the time. 15% off Best Western Hotels. Now it's 10%, I can get that with AAA or AARP. I loved the magazine when it was a real one. Now only "digital" except for one issue that reads like a HD advertisement. I always took advantage of 3 year subscriptions but not only HOG but magazines have stopped offering them too. That Map Atlas? It does not compare with AAA real maps. (Yes, I use a GPS too) But paper maps are great for planning on your kitchen table with a cup of coffee.
All that said, I have decided to let the HOG lapse. I have better uses for $60.

I don't need riding rewards or loyalty points, my insurance provides roadside assistance, it's cheaper than HD's, and in my experience, more reliable. I don't need to rent motorcycles. I don't camp out anymore. I don't stay at Hiltons when I traveling, I stay where I can park my bike in front of the room. I have drawers full of collectables, I've been to the museum enough that I don't want to go again. So like I said, I have the lifetime membership, but nothing offered is important to "me". . What I do miss is the dealer parts and accy's discount that my dealer used to give for being a HOG member. If those things are important to members, then that's great, But I was referring to what the membership meant to me. Someone who rides thousands of miles a year, every year.
I'm not exactly sure why you believe HOG membership isn't valuable to someone like yourself that rides "thousands of miles a year, every year".
I know just in the last couple of years, I've received HD gift cards from HOG due to their "Ride 365" program that certainly make it worthwhile to me.
2022: $150 HD gift card
2023: $150 HD gift card
2024: $150 HD gift card
2025: $150 HD gift card (I should be getting this sometime in February 2026)
This seems like a "no brainer" for someone that rides thousands of miles a year, every year.
I actually have the "lifetime membership", so this is a great deal for me!

Thanks everyone for all the comments and opinions, this turned into an interesting discussion. I've been a HOG member for 20 years, other than the mileage patches I think I might have used the Best Western discount once or twice, that's been pretty much my full involvement in HOG. I ride about 5K miles a year in the weather-factored Northeast, I get hotel discounts and most other benefits due to being retired Military. My local dealer gives me 10%-15% discounts depending on cash or credit and I'm not a rally guy. My main reason for keeping the membership is I ride with a local club, GREAT group of folks. The club rides 10K miles a year including at least 6 multi-night overnighters a year. They were at one time affiliated with a local dealer who has since closed up but they continue as an independent club and one of their requirements is HOG membership. I'm disappointed in HD dropping their multiyear option but I'll probably continue my membership for at least the next year then we'll see what happens. Thanks again and ride safe everyone!

Key Documentation and Requirements:

So, two trips to the dealer (one in the beginning of the year and one at the end of the year) is a hardship for you? As you indicated, this probably isn't a worthwhile program for you.
BTW: My dealer lets me send a photo to the service manager, so I don't even need to set foot at the dealer or fill out any forms.
