Adventure Harley-Davidson

Maybe I'm biased. Maybe I have been swayed. But whatever the reason, I feel compelled to gush about our HOG chapter for a few moments. I would argue that Tuscarawas County, OH has one of the best, most loyal, and active HOG chapters in the country. I couldn't ask for a more reliable and passionate group of people.

Here are a few examples of what makes them so unbelievable. We host a monthly HOG Chapter meeting at the dealership. We provide the food, and they provide the excitement. Let me just tell you, I cannot remember the last time I went to one of those meetings and left without a smile on my face. It's just awesome to see such a large group of people so enthusiastic about the sport we represent. It's what Harley is all about. And I also can't remember the last time we had less than 100-120 people at a meeting. Keep in mind these people are traveling up to 70 miles to get here...ONE WAY! They're taking time out of their busy schedules just to spend a few hours with a group of people who share a common interest. It's awesome to see!

Another reason why I love our HOG chapter so much is a bit of a selfish one. You see, I am in charge of the planning and implementation of all dealership events. Thus, the Marketing Manager title. Well, while these events are always fun and exciting for the people participating in them, I could never pull them off without the help of volunteers. And I could never find those volunteers if we didn't have such an amazing HOG chapter. Allow me to illustrate. Last weekend, we hosted an in-store poker run. On Wednesday, I found myself a few people short on volunteers. I needed about 10 to pull off the poker run without a hitch. I sent an email out to our HOG members expecting that maybe a few of them would respond and I would have the amount of volunteers I needed. I sent the email out around 10am. By 3pm, I had received over 30 people offering to help! That's three zero people! It was overwhelming both because I was so appreciative and so taken aback by their willingess to give up a Saturday afternoon to help me.

I could go on for hours about how lucky we are but I will end with this. If you have a Harley, and you live in Tuscarawas County, this is a group you definitely want to be involved in. They have rides at least once or twice a week every week in the Summer, and they're just a great group of people from all walks of life. I feel blessed to be a part of it and I hope everyone else feels the same. Ok, I'm done gushing now. :)
