Formed in November 1990, the Okanagan Harley Owners Group® is a member organization of dedicated motorcycle enthusiasts in the Okanagan area stretching from Osoyoos in the south to Salmon Arm in the north. |
|
With seemingly endless highways and back roads to enjoy combined with a riding season that can last from early March to mid November, the Okanagan Valley is a riders dream.
We gather on a regular basis to share our love of riding, the joy of Harley® ownership, and pride in our community. We meet for rallies, parties and local charitable events with an emphasis not only on fun, but also presenting Harley® owners as responsible and dedicated community members. |

Harley-Davidson® established the Harley Owners Group® in 1983 in response to a growing desire by Harley® riders for an organized way to share their passion and show their pride. By 1985, 49 local chapters had sprouted around the country, with a total membership of 60,000.
Rapid growth continued into the 1990s, and in 1991 H.O.G.® officially went international, with the first official European H.O.G.® Rally in Cheltenham, England. Worldwide membership numbered 151,600, with 685 local chapters.
As the '90s continued, H.O.G.® hysteria spread into Asia, including new chapters in Singapore and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. By 1999, worldwide membership had hit the half-million mark, and the number of local chapters totalled 1,157. Today, more than a million members make H.O.G.® the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle organization in the world, and it shows absolutely no signs of slowing down.
What does the future hold? No one can say for sure, but from here the road ahead looks long, wide open, winding, and scenic – with lots of new friends to make along the way. So why not join H.O.G.® now and come explore it with us? We promise you'll enjoy the ride. |
