National HOG Rally???

[cousa1]

yes I'm riding up from Christchurch.

I couldn't give a rats ass what other people ride. One the things that H.O.G go one about is to ride and have fun. So that is what I will be doing.

You are a member of HOG? You sell your Honda GB?

[dangerous]

Snobby???? It is called the national Harley Owners Group rally.....is that any different to the Ducati Rally or the Triumph rally?

HELL YES man I went last year as I was riding with a couple of Buells, now they wouldnt let me in the gate, not even to see the missus, I bust in, I was arsed out, I was smugled in... haha farking ha, I wore my Honder Riders T shirt loud n prowd while I drank there beer and listened to there music.

If you go to a Buell Rally, Guzzi rally etc you are more than welcome in fact you may well win prizes, hell the Buell I road with to last years HOG rally won best non Guzzi at the Guzzi Rally... so yes HOG are very snobby.

Not only are the HOG lot snobby, but they are a, lets say.. different mob, I found it quite comical once inside, defnitly not my cup a tea, but it was worth the trouble just for a lough.

[Rashika]

Harley Davidsons and Buells only if I recall.

Cant get in unless on one, pillion or rider..

Just from memory.

How snobby!

nah its cos HD Intl actually subsidise the costs of the rally, so its up to them who they invite to it... fair call I say

ya just park off site. Last year was 100 bucks and blew in the actual arena but dam if the irish bar wasnt hoping next door. They say the best one was Akoroa. I missed it but lets hope they have something similar down there.

Been to 5 or 6 now I think?... last one was the first on my own bike into the rally site. 3 Buells at the site and all of em ridden by chicks
The others I have mostly ridden to on my previous non HD bike with all the other HD'rs, and pillioned onto the site with one of the Stragglers (of which I am also one). And if you dont know who they are, dont worry about it... its a 'had to be there' kinda thing
The first Dunedin one was pretty awesome, someone tried to burn the kitchen down, and it was fkn cold, almost froze that night if not for the alcohol to keep me warm. Akaroa was one of the best by far, tho Hamilton was quite good as well... (might have been the fantastic crew at that one perhaps Buellbabe?)

...So for the Auckland one in my opinion it did sux. Was alot of money for some crap entertainment (cept for the tranny show lol) and every one looked bored. I call a spade a spade and that is my opinion which Im entittled too. I will be going to the next one because

A. I get to ride down from Auckland
B. Ill see alot of people who I wouldnt otherwise

It has nothing to do with what kinda bikes are/arent allowed or how others perceive those riders.

Auckland wasn't the best, but still enjoyed it a whole heap as it was a weeks touring as well for us, so it rocked as a trip away.

And after all that cant make this years one... so all the guys that I know are going (Buellbabe, and the rest of you straggly bunch), make sure you have plenty of fun and booze for me. And its nice to know the guys will be thinking of me too!

Yes I'm a H.O.G. member and to be a member you must supply your VIN.

The GB is gone as I replaced it with an AJS

[The Lone Rider]

What happened to the GN then? lol

Sometimes I wish some of the people with Harleys were more open to other bikes. On the other hand I've heard people with Boulevards ripping into Harleys. Sheesh. People seem to get along in NZMCG though, but no one has joined with a Harley lol.

Keep editing your posts Darryl.

--Edit--
Ok, he's deleted it.


If in fact you paid attention Dangerous, you'd have long seen the story behind the name, and if you had looked at our photos might have noticed the Harleys, and sports bikes owned by members.

Sorry for OT.

Yeah, if Harley is sponsoring the Rally (although $100 a pop per person and what.. like 1000 people there?) then fair call. Generally groups don't expect randoms showing up to their shin digs and drinking their piss, and I'd feel the same.

[The Lone Rider]

HUH?

No problem, peace be with you, live long and prosper. Back to watching Band Of Brothers.

Huck might I suggest with the best intentiuons that you reread my post....no attitude there..in fact the last time i read anything from you was all about your hatred for loud pipes..it was clear to all that bothered to read your diatribe that the attitude was yours................

If the Motor Company is subsidising the cost of the event, then, as said by others, they can invite who they like and set whatever critieria they want surely.

...Went to a annual Hogly in CH CH a few years ago after attending the Triumph rally down South. But wasn't allowed in and turned away...

I can see it now:

Knock knock knock...

"Hello, my name is Huck Farley, can I come in?

...SLAM...!

[huck farley]

Triumph RAT raids are Triumph only affairs too.

I think it's fair enough.

The manufacturer/importer puts up the $ as a reward and incentive for their customers.

I wasn't referring to the RAT raids. I attend those reguarly. I was referring to the Triumph Owners Motorcycle Club (TOMCC) It allows everyone to join in the celebrations no matter what sort of bike they ride. Jap bikes included.

[scumdog]

I can see both sides of the story but fall more to the side it IS a HOG rally for H-Ds, ergo only H-Ds there.

Sorta like how the Corvette Owners Club would not be keen on you going to THEIR national get-together in yout 2003 Corolla....or try turning up as a registered entrant at the Hot Rod Nats in a blinged WRX....

To carry it to extremes (I do that at times) why can't I attend the XXXX Rally in CB's '84 Laser? Cos it sez 'Bikes only' - Just like the HOG rally is Harley only (even the Aermachii (sp)ones!).

Horses for courses.

Yes indeed that is very true I posted the why do Harley riders fuck everybody of (including other Harley riders) with the racket they make with open drag pipes. I had plenty agree with me on that thread.

Now here you go again with "your" insecurity (often found with HD riders) I guess attack is the best means of defence. I have read your post a dozen times, and you write with very little authority and insecurity on the subject.

Oh well If that's the way you want to react. Then I am truly sorry for you having to bring up old posts to defend yourself. I suggest to you. Get a life, grow up.

And also suggest you buy another brand of bike. As you are doing more harm than good to "your" Hogly chapter.
