On behalf of the 2009 Officer Team, I want to sincerely welcome you to The Woodlands HOG Chapter #1420 of Harley Owners Group! We are a diverse group of individuals with one thing in common, our dedication to riding Harley-Davidson motorcycles. We have adopted the national slogan, "Ride and Have Fun." We have short rides, long rides, breakfast rides, lunch rides, dinner rides, overnight rides, rides to National and State Rallies, several vacation rides a year, or just a few riders getting together to ride. Any reason to get out and put some miles on a Harley is what it is all about. We promote the Harley-Davidson lifestyle of riding, having fun, camaraderie and friendship, responsible motorcycling and a positive relationship between the chapter, sponsor, and community.

You will note the operative word is "RIDE" which we intend to do every chance we get! We also get together informally for dinner and Harley-chat each Wednesday night after work. Motorcycling is an activity which makes memories for a lifetime and an active HOG Chapter offers you the opportunity to meet like-minded riders to help you create those memories. Our staff of officers for 2009 is committed to planning fun, safe, riding activities and we invite you to come join us. I am confident we will offer something to suit your tastes and interests. We do not take ourselves too seriously, but we are very serious about having a good time and putting our Harley-Davidsons to good use; that is - Riding! We look forward to meeting you soon and having you ride with us.

We also publish The Woodlands Wanderer newsletter, which will keep you informed of upcoming events and provide additional information to make your Chapter experience more enjoyable. You should also check our Chapter website at www.woodlandshog.com for events, photos, articles, ride routes, safety tips and a host of other information. Once on the site, members may access our newsletter and other items by clicking on the members section and entering the username and password listed on your 2009 membership card. Fun is our mission, and this we do very well. Feel free to peruse our web site and be sure to check out our upcoming events.

Again, WELCOME to The Woodlands HOG Chapter!
