We are the local Chapter of a worldwide group of people
who own Harley- Davidson® Motorcycles. Harley-Davidson®
established the Harley Owners Group® in 1983 in response to a
growing desire by Harley® riders for an organized way to share
their passion and show their pride. By 1985, 49 local chapters
had sprouted around the United States, with a total membership
of 60,000.
Rapid growth continued into the 1990s, and in 1991 H.O.G.®
officially went international, with the first official European
H.O.G. Rally in Cheltenham, England. Worldwide membership numbered
151,600, with 685 local chapters. As the '90s continued, H.O.G.
hysteria spread into Asia, including new chapters in Singapore and
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. By 1999, worldwide membership had hit the
half-million mark, and the number of local chapters totaled 1,157.
Today, more than 800,000 members make H.O.G. the largest
factory-sponsored motorcycle organization in the world, and it shows
absolutely no signs of slowing down.
Thunder Bay Harley-Davidson® proudly
sponsors our local chapter. The support of our local sponsor
allows us to continue to promote our goal. Our local Chapter brings
members together for the common interest of promoting responsible
motorcycling activities for Harley Owners Group® members.
The goal of our Chapter is to generate an increased level of
enthusiasm for riding Harley-Davidson® Motorcycles and to RIDE AND HAVE FUN!
