I don’t know about any of you, but I have attended a few HOG gatherings in the past and they are always top notch. If any are looking for a group to ride with in there are, you can check out your local Harley-Davidson dealer for more info. My wife and I have been members of HOG and we both look forward to the yearly road atlas (which I have used several times) and the magazine Hog Tales. Check them out, you’ll be glad you did.
