A Message from your Regional Manager

A Message from your Regional Manager

I sincerely hope you and your chapter members are enjoying the fresh air and putting miles on, whether in groups or solo, because riding motorcycles is why we joined H.O.G. We are having great weather here in Wisconsin and I have been enjoying some time riding with my wife on weekends, which has been really nice. Working from home these past few months has also allowed me to mentor a few friends in their riding journey, which is also a blessing.

In the past few weeks we began a series of informational sessions with dealers and officers. The first one was dedicated to Ride 365 and helping everyone understand the programs that all fall under it. The plan is to conduct more of these in the coming months and to keep them short, about 30 minutes or so and to the point. If you or any of your fellow officers missed this one and need a follow up, let me know and we will set something up.

I also want to say “Well Done!” to all the chapters that are flourishing with new ideas, challenge rides, using Ride 365 rewards, online meetings, etc. to keep members motivated, connected and out riding, this is super exciting and your chapters are enjoying it, I can tell from the pictures on FB!

In closing, follow the 2 and a half rules we talk about, as well as federal, state and local and dealership policies related to COVID-19, riding and socializing. That is all we require of you. No special permission from us needed, just do the right thing as always and let your dealer guide you.

I look forward to getting back on the road with all of you. Thank you for all you do for H.O.G. and your chapters.

More miles make more smiles

With public lockdowns and other restrictions winding down in most parts of the country and summer weather just around the corner, riding season in full swing. There’s no better time to remind your members about the benefits of participating in H.O.G.’s Ride 365 Mileage programs. We’ve made a few tweaks in recent years, but the concept is still simple: visit a dealer to get an initial annual reading, ride your bike, get at least one additional reading at the end of the season to close out your miles for the year, and reap the rewards!

The rewards for participation come in many forms, from recognition of annual and lifetime milestones, to prizes for individual achievements and the top Chapters nationally, as well as creating a lifetime of memories. Share the program links with your members and encourage them to visit your dealer for a reading to start the clock rolling. Find all the details at https://h-d.com/ride365.
