Future Events

• June 11 - 27: Key West Ride. This is a fly and ride that will begin in Key West, FL, travel up and along the Gulf of Mexico into Texas then north through Sante Fe, the Grand Tetons and Glacier Park, MT before turning west home. Besides the Grand Tetons and Glacier Park we plan to see the Everglades, New Orleans, the Alamo and San Antonio, Big Bend National Park in Texas, Four corners and lots more! Expect to clock in about 5500 miles averaging about 350 miles/day. We will be on the road every day. Ride is going to be more enjoyable for experienced riders that are comfortable traveling at speeds in excess of 80mph, in a group, and enjoy pushing their limits. I would recommend the rider have a minimum of 20K miles of riding experience. Riders must follow the rules set by the lead Road Captain without exception. This is for everyone's safety. There are 2 slots left and couples encouraged! More to come.

Roadside Assistance Program

Many of you have asked about the Roadside Assistance program that has been brought up in our meetings. This program is available at additional cost to your Full or Associate membership through HOG. There are three different packages to choose from depending on your desired coverage. For additional details go to the HOG website and look at the Roadside Assistance Program.
