RE: HOG Life'rs
I should have bought my life membership years ago instead of renewing 20 yrs in a row.

RE: HOG Life'rs
Question: I'm a national HOG member. If I choose not to join the local chapter, am I missing out on something? Could I particpate in their activities?

How long have you been riding?

Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going to go ahead and get the life. I kind of like receiving the Hog Tales Mag, got some good articles in there. Also I don't have to worry about the membership going up etc. And yup, I'm trying to convince myself It's worth 690 Euros, // about $900 U.S.
Yup, that's the price in Europe. [&o]

RE: HOG Life'rs
Lifer here for over 10 years. First year was free. I paid year 2 & 3 and it was no where near what it is now. When I was renewing for year 4, I was offered a life membership for $300. So I took it.
My cost was much less than what is being offered today. At todays cost I'm not so sure I would have done it. Especially if I had to pay yearly for the first 5 years which I have heard is the standard now, I don't know if that is fact.
I enjoy it's many but insignificent benifitsmostly becasue it has been paid for for so long.

DGlide04 and will2002 have hit all of the high spots. Except that full life after 5 years is $400.

RE: HOG Life'rs
Back in 94 I bought a used Sportster and became a HOG member to be able to join the local chapter.. Second year I bought the cow (life membership) Glad now that I did since 13 or so years of annual dues, trying to keep up with the mailing of payments.. making sure of address changes etc are a PITA for me.
Some day, I know the membership annual due amount and the life membership amount will even out.
Heck I try to become a "life member" is just about any organization I join... It's cheaper in the long run if you live long enough
Some places won't do the life member stuff.... they want to be able to have the ability to throw you out or jack you around on the annual dues..

Hey guys, I'm pretty sure this subject has been beaten to death here. But I still got a couple questions about this HOG thing. .... As my 1st free year is up.
Firstly, I get told over the phone that "you're not considered a real member unless you're a life member". Lol. Man, I nearly spat my drink out. I screamed "YEAH DUDE, HARD SELL MY A$$, LOVE IT, YOU DA MAN." Lol. They recording this? Hope so. etc etc etc.
So, basically we came to the conclusion that the yearly renewals are for deadbeats, that can't make their payments etc etc. Then we decided that the guys who renew for 2 and 3 years are pussies 'cuz they can't afford the life and maybe think they'll commit suicide in a couple years anyway, ......but don't want to renew for a year; as then they'd be considered cheap scapes.
Are there many lifer's here, and if so, you happy with it?
hmmmm, what to do, what to do.
