RE: hog membership?
You will get as much out of being a Hog member as you want or choose to put into it. When I got my 1st Harley almost 3 years ago. I didn't have anyone to ride with, but I had been wanting a HD for so long. I started going to local meetings. Our dealer gives you 1 year local membership with a new bike also. I went to a few meetings and started riding with the club. I started getting involved to the degree that when the position became available I was made Head Road Captain. I have been reelected and I am very involved in all of the club workings. I have made many friends and gotten to go places I never would have known to go. It is sort of like this forum. You have a reason to interact, hang out and ride with a bunch of people who you have this terrific lifestyle in common with. That's why I have become a life member.

RE: hog membership?
hog tied I see you are from Canada. I got a discount on my insurance with my HOG membership. Discount was more than the membership, so why not? Company is called Riders Plus. Might be worth a call.

RE: hog membership?
yup.. i`m canadian eh!.. but i`m in BC and no discount here . even to put a alarm on it saves me 5 bucks a year.. i`m not putting the hog group down at all. i just don`t see alot it does for me. there`s not alot of rallies around my area. but i lov the books i get. i like the idea of meeting new people to ride with but i find i lov to ride by myself..i find at my local dealer i meet lots of people. just wanna no everone`s pro`s and cons about this

RE: hog membership?
Im gonna let my membership expire. There are 2 very good hog clubs close to me. And they do a lot of stuff. But I prefer to ride alone mostly too ,at my own pace and go and stop when whereever I feels like it. Other than the friendship I really dont see much bennifit of the hog club.

RE: hog membership?
I believe I got a discount on my insurance for being a HOG member. I know they (Foremost Insurance) wanted my HOG membership number. I re-upped just in case. $217 for a whole years of insurance is a premium I don't want to lose.

RE: hog membership?
100yrfatboy, I'm sure you know this, but HOG is not a "club"
I'd rather ride alone or with friends than with a bunch of newbies. Riding in a pack isn't fun if you can't trust or don't even know who you're riding with. I think HOG is more about posing at the coffee shop with your 'colors' than riding anyway. (that and paying the moco more money to advertise for them)
I know there may some real riders in the group but from what i've seen they're mostly wkd warriors. This is not aimed at anyone in this group.....just some observations from my experience. MHO
