Welcome to 2024! I hope you and your families had a joyful and relaxing holiday season.
As I write this, winter has arrived here in Milwaukee with a vengeance and the first Regional Officer Connection training sessions of the new year are underway. The other Regional Managers and I are excited to again be working face-to-face with so many of you in these highly engaging and productive sessions over the next few months. I can tell you from experience that most of the frequently asked questions I receive from H.O.G. officers throughout the year involve topics we cover in detail at ROC. If you have never attended a ROC session or haven’t signed up for one yet, you’ll do yourself a great service by attending one this year. There are still spots open (see the link below to register).
I am also eagerly anticipating the start of the 2024 riding season, which for the H.O.G. team begins shortly ahead of Daytona Bike Week with the first of several H.O.G Touring Rallies, the Run to Daytona H.O.G. Touring Rally. Bike Week will also be the first chance for H.O.G. members and the public to test ride the exciting new 2024 Harley-Davidson models, which will debut on January 24 in an exclusive online reveal. Sign up to watch it at h-d.com. You won’t want to miss the big news!
The Run to Daytona H.O.G. Touring Rally is the first of many exciting H.O.G. events in 2024 that offer the chance to explore all four corners of these great United States. H.O.G.’s Ride 365 program adds even more great destinations to visit with the 10 for ’24 challenge, including one in Alaska, where we are also conveniently hosting The Last Frontier H.O.G. Rally in June.
I encourage you and your chapter members to take full advantage of these events and everything else H.O.G. offers to help you enjoy all the thrills and experiences that are best appreciated from the seat of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. I hope to see many of you on the road over the next 12 months.
As always, thanks for everything you do to help make the Harley Owners Group the world’s biggest and best riding club.
