Some time back there was some info on other services that were available in case of breakdown on the road. Does anyone have that info or should I just renew with HOG? Thanks

 

Renue your HOG it's worth it, the rallys are fun try to catch some of them when thy are close....

 

HOG is worth it, if you have a good local chapter.

 

go Hog

 

If you have a good chapter definitly renew. It's alot of fun, I can hardly wait till this summer now that I have a Road king.

 

HOG member question. Are you supposed to receive the Enthusiast magazine? I have not been able to get one. I get Hog Tales. I want the Enthusiast.

Read This Post, Mine expired and I'm not renewing!:



With HOG memberships due, I thought I would share my experience with a flat tire and dealing with HOG. It was a Sunday afternoon ride, just the wife and I, when the dreaded flat tire struck. First flat in about a zillion years of riding. For those who are interested, it was the rear tubed tire, went down immediately, you have no time to react...in fact I wasn't sure what happened, but I got the bike stopped on the berm safely.

Called HOG. I was transfered around about three times and finally told that someone woud call me back.An hour went by with no return call, so I called again. Same deal...someone will call you right back. Another half hour and I finally got someone to tell my problem to. FYI...you are dealing with a road hazzard insurance company out of Florida. The individual I spoke to was....shall we say...English challenged. We had a serious communication problem.

I told this man where I was at and I needed a tow. He had trouble locating me on a map. I kept telling him I was on route *** about 5 miles from city "A" and about 8 miles from city "B". The hunt for me continued for about 1/2 hour when he decided to get help and call me right back. Another 15 minutes and he calls back and we now have a three way conversation with our new member also "English challenged."

Between the two of them they found Cities "A" & "B" and the road I was on, but they wanted to know exactly where I was at. Since I was parked next to a sign the said 8 miles to city "B" I told them exactly where I was at.They still had trouble, apparently thinking there should be an "X" on the map that marked my location. Finally, out of frustration, I asked can you see city "A"? "Yes" Can you see city "B" and the road between the two? "Yes" I'll be the only "f"ing motorcycle sitting at the 8 mile sign with a flat tire!!

We'll call you right back. Another half hour.....and they call to inform me there were no dealerships near me open on Sunday. I already knew this, and explained I wanted towed home. (By the way...they will not send someone out to fix your tire which is what I had hoped for.) "OK, we'll find someone to tow you home and call you right back.

In the meantime, my wife got a membership list of our local chapter. I found a member whose address was located about 15 miles away. I called him, and by luck found him home. He had a trailer and would be glad to come get me if the HOG deal fell through.

HOG calls back...informs me that I am 48 miles from home and will cost $398.00 to tow me home...of which HOG would pay $100.00.

Ouch!! OK how much to tow me 15 miles to my chapter members house? $398.00 and HOG would pay $100.00. WTF?? I told HOG I would callTHEMback.

Called my chapter member...he came....we loaded up my bike and he took me home. Wouldn't even take gas money. (I'm going to give him a HDgift certificate.)

My wife just informed me my HOG membership is due. How much is that magazine worth????

 

Go HOG, 3 years ago I had a rear braided brake line failure on my CVO DWG3. It was a recall from HD. Local HD dealerin Florida says 7 -10 days for parts (I was on Vacation). My local HD dealer in Michigan says tell them you are a HOG member,thenthey will do a search fora dealer that has the part in stock.They did and bike was done within 24 hrs. Its part of the service....Worked for me, only used it once. I make sure renewal is always done b4 a vacation with the HD.

 

I have been wondering aboiut this service. I have had AAA Plus for a lot of years and can get a tow for up to 100 miles at no charge. Does anyone know why I wouldn't be able to use AAA for the bike too?

Regarding the membership, won't it be difficult to call someone from the chapter membership list if you aren't a member?

 

Go HOG, went to a Lifetime membership this year, might as well... Many benefits.
