It's really quite simple and doesn't involve putting down H.O.G. on what they provide or don't provide. If you're NOT into group riding or group events on a local, state/provincial or national level.....then don't renew. If you enjoy the comraderie of other riders and like to get involved in group riding events, then renew. Simple.

If your cell phone is with At&t you can get a nice discount each month. More than pays for the membership for me and the wife. Haven't heard too many good reports on towing but as others have said it allowed me to meet some great folks in the local chapter. Our dealer also gives 10% off to members. I stay with it.
I was also pissed to hear they canceled the Fly n Ride program, anyone hear their reasoning on that? Thanks for the info on the cell bill savings. At 17%, I should save about $15/month

Only magazine I read cover to cover. Getting a 10% more than pays for itself but I as I travel and stop at every HD shop I come across, as long as they honor a national HOG card I get my moneys worth and then some.

I guess I missed that they cancelled the fly and ride program. Used it last year and saved a bundle. I get either At&t or Verizon discounts through work, so looks like I will not renew HOG either. No incentive to join, its just a club. It's not like ABATE or NRA or SCI where they are advocating for causes that I believe in.

I just got off the phone with H.O.G. about Fly and rRde. The very nice lady explained the program was "in transition" but for now:
1. There are no discounts for H.O.G. members (unless the individual dealer wants to give you one).
2. There are no special benefits for renting as a H.O.G. member (unless the individual dealer wants to give you one).
She did say they were working on some benefits. But for now, there effectively is no Fly and Ride. Except maybe they'll send you a pin if you rent.
Sad, because I'm travelling next month and I can rent a Triumph cheaper than a Harley. And since I own a Harley, I'll probably give my $$$ to Triumph just for the change of pace.
