Default HOG Members

I've been on this XLforum about a year now and I haven't really done a search on the XLforum or have seen anything mentioned by other members, but are there any HOG members on the XLForum. The reason I ask is when I was in the SF Bay Area a few weeks ago, this friend of mine and I were talking about HOG's and he signed me up for a 3 year membership, which I sent in the appropriate form etc to the local chapter. Just curious. Thanks

HOG membership is not free, did your friend pay for it? BTW, HOG members should get free roadside assistance, at least they did when I was a member. I think they allowed for 100 miles per year.

I could never get a tow truck in Los Angeles. The tow companies did not like how HD handled reimbursement. I didn't renew because the all the Local HOG chapters rode from Starbucks to Starbucks, not many rides except the super slab in LA. No thanks.

Yeah, took the free year, but I can't find a reason to keep it going. Just a money maker for HD.

are you talking about being a national member or member of local HOG group one that is sponsored by dealership?
I'm not a member of a local HOG chapter, I do know quite a few that would be willing to talk to you about it.
Personally I'm not much one for a joining a formal group anymore, funny thing for me is my writing-photo gig I got I'm around them all the time.
I like to go by my schedule, although I do put together a few "rides" now and then,
I did one a few month with some guys from the forum, KHaskins above, Wedge, Rocketmangb and Rhartlin, and a few others, I keep it small and very informal. but that is besides your question

I do know some HOG Chapters that do ride and I mean long rides and have bike events every so often and some that use the chapter as a social outlet or to show off how much they spent on thier big twins. and like Karl said Starbucks to Starbucks.

As for the towing thing, I keep the numbers of two companies that tow motorcycles in area handy.
