Where do I get the H.O.G.® Patches and/or Foothills H.O.G.® Rockers?
H.O.G.® Patches and/or Foothills H.O.G.® Rockers can be purchased from Foothills HOG Store. The Store maintains a stock of patches, pins, and rockers that are for sale at the Monthly General Meeting. If you need a patch, pin or rocker and cannot make a meeting, contact the Stores Officer. There are several sizes and two types, the black background and the reflective background.
Can my spouse be a member?
If your spouse is a passenger, your spouse can join National H.O.G.® as an Associate Member using your VIN number and then join Foothills H.O.G.® Chapter as a full member. Your spouse will receive their own unique National H.O.G.® Membership card. As a full member of Foothills H.O.G. Chapter, your spouse would not be required to sign a release form for every ride or event. Plus they can enjoy all the benefits of being a full member of Foothills H.O.G.® Chapter.
Can I attend a Chapter Business Meeting?
The Business Meeting is open to all members and is the ideal forum to present your ideas or voice your concerns. To get your idea or concern put onto the agenda, contact the Director no later than 1 week prior to an upcoming Business Meeting. Time permitting, issues that are not on the agenda, or New Business, will be addressed after all agenda items have been addressed.
What is a Primary Officer?
Every Chapter has four Primary Officers which for the most part are chosen by the Sponsoring Dealership. The Primary Officers are; Director, Assistant Director, Secretary, and Treasurer. It takes more than these four officers to manage a H.O.G.® chapter, but these are the Primary Officers.
Why do I have to listen to the same pre-ride briefing before each ride?
The pre-ride briefing is used to introduce the group riding procedures to any riders joining our group for the first time and to get all attendees to focus on the dynamics of group riding. We believe that Foothills H.O.G.’s safety record is largely due to the Road Captains and the Safety Officer taking their job very seriously and providing this briefing before every ride.
What is the Sponsoring Dealership?
In 1983 Harley-Davidson® started the Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.®) as a means of promoting riding and having fun on Harley-Davidson® Motorcycles. Each Dealership was given the opportunity to sponsor a H.O.G.® Chapter as an extension of their Dealership which has lead to increased sales of motorcycles, motor clothes, and motorcycle accessories. Sponsoring a H.O.G.® Chapter is a business decision for each Dealership, therefore the dealership can oversee the Chapter, make decisions regarding Primary Officers and can, if necessary, change or remove Officers and members for the good of the Chapter and the Sponsor.
I have an idea for a great ride. How can I get it on the schedule?
If you would like to get a ride scheduled, contact any Road Captain and/or attend one of our monthly meetings. The chapter can always use new and fresh ideas for rides, events or activities. Don’t be shy. This is your chapter.
