I just went to renew my HOG membership online and discovered the cost has gone up by about 20% to £53 this year so I didn't do it.

I used the money I saved to pay for a ferry ticket to take my campervan over to Holland for two weeks this Easter.

Does anybody know where all this money goes to, I certainly don't.

They don't organize a single rally or a single event in the UK. The only events are organised by various chapters so what do the UK HOG actually do?

Can anybody enlighten me as to what I get for my money apart from a load of insurance advertising?

Does anybody else think that it's all a bit of a scam?

 

Hi yes i do .

 

had one for years and so no benifit except a map.

 

Over here in the colonies it may make more sense, as they do organize rallies, have the towing benefit, the magazine is pretty good and a discount ocasionally at a dealer or two. Other than that it helps me keep my sales resistance up not buying everything they advertise.

 

I just did a quick conversion to USD, and that 53 GBP is $86 and change. That's a lot for just being a HOG and little benefits. Maybe this is Harley's bail out strategy.

 

I think alot of folks are going to bag the hog stuff for at least this year. I know I am, would rather have the $45 in my account then Harley's.,,

 

Get decent towing from my MC insurance provider. No need to go with HOG anymore, especially now that I have the GPS loaded with all the HD locations.

 

60 bucks for HOG in Canada and another 20 to join the local chapter, I'm keeping my money this year.

 

Sure glad that i got my Life membership years ago, I think I would pass on todays prices too. my local dues are $20USD. Hog is in trouble along with the MoCo.......

IMHO

 

I've been a life member for over 20 years. I doubt that I would even join for a year at a time if I were just starting out now though. It seems to me that H O G has kinda run its course................. Maybe not!
