About

The Harley Owners Group® (HOG) is an organisation founded and sponsored by Harley-Davidson® Motor Company. With more than one million members, it is the largest factory-sponsored motorcycle group in the world.  Rules of Chapter  It was established to offer motorcycling benefits and services to Harley-Davidson enthusiasts throughout the world, and to develop a close relationship between the Harley-Davidson rider, the Harley-Davidson dealer and Harley-Davidson Motor Company.  The Rockhampton HOG Chapter 9116 was formed on the 28th of January 1995 with 18 members attending the meeting. From that 1st meeting, membership grew to 40 by year's end.  In 1997 the Chapter introduced the current format of the Official Ride held on the 1st Sunday of the month and the Chapter Meeting held on the 3rd Saturday followed by a social night after the meeting has adjourned. So mark your Calendars Rocky HOG for the 1st Sunday and 3rd Saturday of the month.  The Chapter has hosted the QLD State Rally on two previous occasions. Firstly in 1998 and then again in 2009 with 100's of bikes from all over Australia and New Zealand heading to Rockhampton for the weekend. We regularly return the favour by attending events held by other Chapters. On the local scene, the Chapter gets involved in raising much needed funds for local charities throughout the year by holding or supporting Poker Runs, Toy Rides, Wild Woman's Rides, etc.  Every HOG Chapter is sponsored by a Harley-Davidson Dealership. From 1995 it was Fairways Motorcycles. In 2004 Geoff and Mary-Jane Trewin took over Fairways and in 2005 restructured the dealership into the current Rocky Harley-Davidson (RHD). All rides depart from, and monthly meetings are held at Rocky Harley-Davidson.  Since 1995 the Rockhampton Harley Owners Group membership has grown from just 18 at the 1st ever meeting to a peak of over 150 members. Currently we are sitting around 128 active and financial members. It is not uncommon to have over 20+ bikes on an Official Ride.  In 2009, just prior to holding the State Rally, the Rumble Inn was built at the back of RHD. This is the venue for the monthly meetings and is also open every Friday evening from 5pm to 10pm for Chapter members and their guests to come and socialise at the end of the working week. So if you're interested in joining the Chapter or just passing through drop in for a cold one with a great bunch of Rockhampton HOG members.  So if you would like to ride your Harley with a group of like minded people who are just out to enjoy the experience of riding a Harley-Davidson, then drop into Rocky Harley-Davidson (RHD) and one of the helpful staff will take care of you.
