A Message from your Regional Manager

Greetings,

First, thank you for supporting Harley-Davidson and the Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.). This year has been challenging for all of us so your commitment to keeping things rolling to keep your chapter members engaged is appreciated. We’ve seen great new ideas for riding and having fun despite restrictions. If you need ideas, reach out to nearby chapters, or check chapter Facebook pages to see how other chapter members are getting creative.

As the days shorten and the weather turns cooler in many parts of the country, now is a good time to start thinking about encouraging your members to close out their RIDE365 mileage readings before the end of the year. And, don’t forget to take advantage of our awards like 50 Rides One Nation challenge coins and the 10 for 20 poker chips. There is still plenty of time this year to check off more of those rides.

We have some exciting new rides in the works for 2021, as well as a full state of regional and touring rallies planned to get us all back out riding together. Stay tuned to next month’s Officer email and The Enthusiast magazine in November for details.

Let’s ride! Keep getting yourself and your chapter out riding.  Again, if you need help just ask.  Looking forward to 2021 and seeing you all back out on the road!  Be careful out there.

Keep your Chapter rolling to the end in the 2020 Mileage Challenge

Days are getting shorter, but there’s still plenty of time left in this riding season to push your chapter over the finish line in the 2021 Ride 365 Chapter Mileage Challenge. Help your chapter members log more miles by organizing local rides and encouraging them to make sure to get a final annual mileage reading at your sponsoring dealership before the Dec. 31 deadline.

As an added incentive to get those miles logged, members who are also eligible H-D™ Visa® cardholders can earn up to 50,000 points and $500 in cash rewards just for riding their motorcycle thanks to the H-D Visa Rewards Program. Visit h-dvisa.com for full details. Of course, these miles also count towards your chapter and individual mileage programs.

The rewards for participating in RIDE365 go far beyond the miles amassed or the achievement of prizes. Riding is fuel for the soul, something we all need more of in these challenging times. Every mile counts so spread the word, and let’s ride!

The Enthusiast Magazine Returns
