Welcome to the Ride

The members of the Harley Owners Group (HOG) Chapter #2075 are made up of riders and Harley-Davidson enthusiasts from all walks of life and skill levels. The primary task of any motorcycle safety program is to ensure that new riders and skilled riders alike can safely participate in all activities together. Secondarily the safety personnel should be able to offer the membership the most up-to-date safety information on motorcycle pre-ride checks, environmental concerns, as well as advanced rider training.

 

The NW Arkansas HOG Chapter #2075 is fortunate to three MSF / Riders Edge Instructors as members. Two of the three instructors are currently active Police Motorcycle Operators with a combined twenty + years of enforcement riding experience. I have a National Police Motorcycle Instructor certification thru Northwestern University and teach law enforcement officers to properly operate a patrol motorcycle. With the experience of these three individuals we are sure that we can address the needs of just about any level of rider, from challenging the most advanced rider to providing basic instruction for those new to the sport or to group riding techniques.

 

The bottom line is, we take your safety very seriously and want you to have the most enjoyable experience possible. Welcome to the ride!

If you have a suggestion for a ride, download this form and submit it to the Activities Officer at the next member's meeting. Be sure to include the name and location of the destination, your name and any comments you may have. Please keep in mind that the rides are scheduled several months in advance and the destinations are reviewed for suitability before being scheduled.
