Like any organization or club, it's what you make of it, and how much you're willing to contribute.
And that is it in a nutshell, it's about finding some like minded folk who like riding but is maybe not the complete be all and end all of life for them. I just renewed mine a week ago, yes I'm a road captain and I enjoy it. I have always ridden since 16 (I'm 43), Italian scooters, Jap bikes, BMW, Triumph, Harley since 2005 along with a Yamaha.

To me its just fun

Still got room on the jacket for a few more patches and pins! My way of supporting a good cause? I don't have the time to participate but I appreciate all that is done locally on a charitable basis.

We have a pretty good local chapter. I enjoy their weekend rides, dinner rides and get togethers. Especially when i'm looking for something to do. I can do without the meetings though. I've met many like minded friends in the chapter, several who I travel around the country with every year. I have way more good than bad things to say about HOG.

Tried the local thing for 8 months three years ago. Volunteered for everything they did. Couldn't find a "click" that realized mine was a harley, even though it isn't on a touring frame. They can bite me. It's simply "not e'nuff harley" for them, and my plate says piglet. Maybe someday it will be a hog.
Not paying $45 for the mag. Insurance gave me a discount for an advanced riders course. Sprint discounts my bill because of where I work. Towing through my insurance and it's where I want it, not a dealer. Not for me.

Decided to do the 3 year deal when the wife wouldn't go for the new bike scenario, lol, and I guess it's now up to me to take advantage of the savings opportunities. Thanks again to everyone for the input!

My dealer gives me 15% discount for cash, cell phone service from my provider is dirt cheap, and I don't have to hang around with a bunch that thinks wearing new leather completely covered in bogus patches and riding to Tim Horton's to sit in the parking lot for 4 hours makes them bad *** bikers. But hey, what do I know!
