HOG is planning some great events for the upcoming year.  We’re also planning a [...]

I can’t believe that we’re already to the end of the official HOG riding season. Time sure flies when you’re having fun…and since “having fun” is our motto, HOG has done a great job of providing ample opportunity to “have fun.” Your HOG officers have already been working on plans for next year’s rides and another great [...]

It seems like we just finished the June meeting and the July meeting has already come and gone. HOG has been very busy with several rides each month and other activities we can all enjoy. If you haven’t been to a general meeting in the past few months, you’re missing a lot of fun. I’m [...]

We [...]

This brings me to a good point…the California State HOG Rally is just that, a rally for HOG of California…all of HOG. Just because Victorville is “hosting” [...]
