Welcome to all Harley Owners in 2009 

2007 saw the 10th anniversary of a group of strangers gathering together with nothing in common apart from Harley Davidson motorcycles. This love of the American brand led to, so far, 10 years of friendship and fun.

HISTORY

The North HOG section started in 1997 through an e-mail to people on a mailing list from the then Harley dealer Alvin's Motorcycles in Edinburgh.  People were contacted by Fred Henderson to meet up and go for a ride together forming an unofficial "North Section" of Dunedin HOG, Edinburgh, Scotland, and although there are still ties the group developed to encompass afar broader scope of people which is important in our “remote” area.

There are still a few Dunedin members but the group also has members associated with the Geordie HOG Chapter, Clyde Valley HOG Chapter, Harley-Davidson Riders of Great Britain and those who are not allied to any official chapter. A tongue in cheek idea resulted in the creation of a patch for the "Aurora Borealis Chapter" which now exists for the rebels who can belong to a "club" with a touch of anarchy, in the nicest possible meaning of the term.

HOGNORTH aims to provide a “club” for ANY Harley-Davidson owners based around the North-East of Scotland and Inverness and it's surrounding area. This is a small bunch of Harley enthusiasts and new people are always welcome and should feel free to come along and join in whether they own a Harley or have ambitions to do so. Click on the link for more on monthly meetings. Don’t be shy, shout up and say “I’m new here” to anyone with and Harley T-shirt on !!

Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of every month apart from January at the Red Garth Hotel, Oldmeldrum, Aberdeenshire. They are VERY informal with the aim of being a social event with as little organisation and as possible and no rules! Interested? If so make contact on either of the two eMail addresses below and give us a name and phone number to reach you.

hognorth@btinternet.com or June@jhenderson.orangehome.co.uk

Members participate to the extent their other commitments allow. Some attend a few meetings and take part in short rides, other go on longer rides, day trips, weekend rallies and even longer tours. It's a fairly informal group with no membership fees, no committee meetings or officials, things just seem to happen. Click on the items below for more information.
