WHAT IS A H.O.G®. CHAPTER?

Today, more than 900,000 members make H.O.G. the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle organization in the world, and it shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.

H.O.G. ® member can join, regardless of whether you have a full or associate membership. Whether you are:
  • A Harley Chick (Rides her own Harley®)
  • A Harley Babe (Rides on the back seat of her Harley®)

 Membership Types

Full - Entitles you to all the benefits of Harley Owners Group® membership (except the "Life Member" patch and pin) for the term of your enrollment: one, two, or three years at a time.

Associate - To become an associate member, you must be sponsored by a full or full life member. Associate membership entitles you to many, but not all, of the benefits of Harley Owners Group membership for the term of your enrollment: one, two, or three years at a time.

Full Life - Entitles you to all the benefits of Harley Owners Group membership (including the "Life Member" patch and pin) for as long as you own a Harley-Davidson® motorcycle.

Associate Life - To become an associate life member, you must be sponsored by a full life member. Associate life membership entitles you to many, but not all, of the benefits of Harley Owners Group membership (including the "Life Member" patch and pin) for as long as your sponsoring member owns a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.

New Vehicle Purchase (NVP) Program - A one-year full membership is automatically issued to the purchaser of a new unregistered Harley-Davidson motorcycle. An automatic membership is generated to the individual whose name first appears on the title. (That is, if more than one name appears on the title, only one membership is generated.) Memberships are not generated for motorcycles titled in a company name. If you are a current H.O.G.® member at the time of a new unregistered Harley-Davidson® motorcycle purchase or have been within the past two years, please provide your membership number at the time of sale to receive an automatic one-year extension. This will prevent a duplicate membership from being generated.

NOTE:  All 45th Parallel rides are closed events unless stated otherwise. This means that you can participate in chapter rides if you are a current member and that you can have one guest per ride.
