Default BAD HOG Experience

Renewed my HOG membership again and the package comes from HD 4 weeks later with the membership card bent in half inside the envelope - with no way to email or send a photo to HD because they do not accept emails, The HOG organizations of other countries half email adresses but the US HOG organization does not accept email - guess they are about as current with what the general population does as they are with their new motorcycles...rant but true...mlo

pretty funny . . . I got my HOG membership kit with a carefully sliced hole in the envelope where someone took the pen out of the carrier. Whoever did it knew there was a pen AND carrier as they carefully sliced it in just the right spot. Of course they left the EMPTY plastic carrier! No big deal, as I don't care about HOG membership (or the pen / at least I assume it was a pen) but of course you get it free when you buy a new bike.

OMG, life as we know it is over. Another newcomer who joins a public forum to bitch about something trivial. If you don't like the way US HOG does business, you can always move to another country. I heard Syria and Iran are accepting immigrants. Furthermore, if you don't like HD in general, you can always sell your bike and go metric.

If they don't have email contact, maybe you can try an archaic form of communication called the telephone. I found this on the HOG website: https://members.hog.com/website/contact/index.jsp (scroll to bottom)

Form a rival Group and beat them by five minutes to the buffet every Saturday. Call it POG. Pissed Old Guy. When you're a POG you're a POG all the way. From the very first bite to the last of the day.

As long as it still scrapes the dingleberries outta your crack, it's still good.

You think that is bad, wait till after you've been meeting with them for a few months. You still won't know anybody.
I actually thought this was going to be a thread about somebody who got their butt kicked by a HOG group.
