The Harley Owners Group® riding club was founded by and for people who share the passion for the freedom of being in the saddle. So there aren't a bunch of rules and responsibilities here. This is something you do on your own terms. It's an easy way to meet some like-minded people and have some fun.
And you're invited to take us for a test ride!
Meet up with us at any of the events below:
FX Thunder H.O.G. Overnight Trip for 2020
Dover, Vermont and the Kitzhof Inn - July 17, 18 & 19
The best motorcycle group trips are full of thrilling, curvy roads and fantastic views. Evenings are laid-back (or maybe a little rowdy), full of friends old and new, and definitely best when spent somewhere that “gets it.” That’s Kitzhof Inn!! They know the difference welcoming accommodations can make, so they’ve been catering to motorcycle clubs and solo bikers since 2006. When it comes to motorcycle friendly inns, you won’t find anyone friendlier than them.
When you stay at the Kitzhof you get not only comfortable accommodation and great food but also a warm “feel at home” atmosphere. The inn has 24 rooms in a range of configurations that can host groups from 20 to 75 people. Breakfast is always included, served just the way you like it in their casual dining room. Group packages include one Kitzhof-hosted dinner (most popular is a full outdoor BBQ) or maybe try the “Italian Night”, plus there are several bar/restaurants within walking distance. There is also a full market across the street for stocking up on snacks – and remember to bring your own for the BYOB-bar fridge for our use.
Both Simon & Alison (owners of the inn) love to ride! They have been touring the Northeast U.S. and Canada since 2005, so they know some stuff! Their “AutoMoto” book has many researched rides with tips on where to stop for lunch and rest breaks. When requested at booking, they’ll lead rides so we can take in the great sights, fresh air and beautiful, open Vermont roads without worrying about directions. All of the routes loop from and to the Kitzhof Inn, and they ride them regularly to stay current on road conditions and attractions.
To get the group rate – which includes a welcome reception when we arrive, breakfast both mornings, and dinner Saturday night – we’ll need at least 20 people. Double Occupancy = $298, Single Occupancy (limited availability) = $223. Sign-up with Dawn (dawnfxchd@yahoo.com, call 315-583-6177, or on the WhatsApp) no later than our March Get Together, March 7th.
FX Thunder H.O.G. Monthly Get Together
February 1, 10am at FX Caprara Harley-Davidson® - HOG Thunder Rewards Members will receive 100 points for attending.
Winter Carnival in Saranac Lake
Lean into the season, get outside & enjoy yourself in the name of winter fun. The carnival is what happens when you take Saranac Lake and throw it into a cauldron, sprinkle in a clever theme, and boil it down until all that’s left is a sweet syrup of feisty good humor. Join our H.O.G.® Group on February 2nd for some Arctic Golf - Carnival’s frozen mini golf course (a hit with adults and kids alike!). We'll meet up in Adams Center & Carthage to head up the mountain, to be there by around 12 noon. This is an outdoor event, and there will be some walking involved, so you'll want to dress for the weather. If you're interested in going, please contact Dawn no later than January 25th.
