Is joining a local HOG chapter in general a good thing if you like organized rides?

Depends on the chapter, the rides, and you.

An organized ride to the far end of town, with a bunch of people that can't get along, for nothing much more than a lousy burger sucks, but a nice 200+ miler for some scenery, good fellowship, and a juicy steak is pretty nice.

Spend some time and see if it's a fit for you...

Yup, it depends on the chapter. Ours (Pacific Coast) is really pretty good in keeping politics out and keep the riding in. Overall a really good group.

Yes, I do mean as opposed to unorganized rides and I am sure you knew by organized I meant rides with specific destinations, agendas, etc. Thanks for the other replies, I think I will join and try it out.

No offense intended.....even my unorganized rides usually entail a written agenda, meeting minutes, and treasurer's report!

Yeah, but I am filled with the holiday spirit. Don't worry, I'll get over it soon.
