Welcome to the F.X. Thunder Chapter of Harley Owners Group. We are sponsored by F.X. Caprara Harley-Davidson of Adam Center, NY.

​The F.X. Thunder Harley Owners Group is a diverse group of riders made up of men & women, novice to experienced who enjoy the camaraderie of friends and the passion of riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles. We are where lasting relationships are formed and where memories are made. It’s where people like you come to share their common interest in Harley-Davidson motorcycles and the unique lifestyle that makes H.O.G.® so special.

We have a variety of terrific group rides and events for everyone to enjoy. Our meetings are a great way to get to know other members and learn more about our chapter. Come see what the F.X. Thunder Chapter is all about. If you are not yet a member, view our "Join the Chapter" page. Chapter meetings are held at F.X. Harley Davidson of Adams Center at 17890 Goodnough St. Adams Center, NY on the first Saturday of every month at 10:00am. We would love to meet you!

The goal of F.X. Thunder Harley Owners Group is to promote responsible motorcycling events for the Harley Owners Group members by conducting chapter activities and encouraging participation in other H.O.G. functions. Our intent is to bring people of common interests together, to enjoy the spirit of motorcycling, to increase the level of enthusiasm for riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles, to support the activities of F.X. Caprara Harley Davidson of Adams Center, and to create a family-oriented atmosphere in which all members can live the Harley-Davidson experience.

    • Once installed, open and start a chat with Jeff Parker (315-778-2547) you might have to add as contact in your phone.
    • In the chat, we will need your full Name & H.O.G. number and that you would like to join the FX Thunder H.O.G. Group.
    • You’ll see it once you are added, And then you’ll be able to reach everybody in just one text, pic, link, or whatever else you’d like to share     The What’s App is a great place to communicate with other club members. Unfortunately it’s hard to figure out who is who. In our list we have a lot of people with just a first name, or just a phone number or their e-mail address. This is another area we would like to know who you are and clean up. Please we ask that you take a moment to go into the What’sApp and click the FX Thunder H.O.G. chat, once in the chat click the very top FX Thunder H.O.G. and then scroll down to your name where you can edit it. Please insure you put first and last names is in the appropriate boxes. This will help us greatly in knowing who is who. Thank you for helping us!

  • FX Thunder Ride 365 Mileage Submission Program
    Our Chapter participates in the Ride 365 Mileage Program. We compete against other Chapters in our region and nationally for National Total miles, Regional Total miles & National Average miles as you can see below on this page. If you want to participate we need at least 2 mileage readings per year. One at the beginning of the year and one at the end of the year or end of your riding season. Other than the first and last odometer reading you could choose, if you want between the first and last to turn in mileage on the 20th of each month. This would help for those of you that have an H-D Visa Card so you can get your points for riding each billing cycle. Thats right you can earn money for riding your Harley-Davidson Motorcycle.
    There are two ways of doing this. One is to take a picture of your odometer and e-mail it along with your H.O.G. number and the last 6 of your vin # to our Membership officer Ken Wallis at ken@fxharley.com     The second way to turn in mileage is to visit FX Caprara Harley-Davidson of Adams Center and use the Let's Ride QR Codes. Yes you can still use the QR code at the dealer from the Let’s Ride challenge to record your miles even though the challenge is over. If you need help please just ask one of the staff at the counter and they would be more than happy to show you. One last thing you can help us with is if you know someone in our chapter that isn't turing in their mileage please talk to them about helping our chapter by participating today. It's easy! Also Ken will need your starting miles for next year’s Ride 365 Mileage Program at the beginning of next year in January. He cannot just submit you’re ending miles from this year. Just save your photo and resend it in January with the critiria above. Thank you ATTENTION: Anybody that is reading this that has turned in any mileage this year we ask that you please take a minute and take a picture of your odometer for a last reading and send it in with criteria above. People who do not turn in miles unfortunately H.O.G. counts against us in the RIDE 365 program where we compete against other chapters in our region. If you don’t know what this is please reach out and we will explain it. Thank you for your effort in helping us with this.

  • 2026 CLUB OVER NIGHT RIDE (Members Only)
