I've not long joined the Harley Davidson Riders Club of Great Britain.
I've never really been one for joining things but as I was using the club web-site a lot and finding it really useful, I thought I should also contribute something. For £37.25 a year it was well worth the technical help I could find in the forums. It saved me even more when I got a great deal on my insurance through a club scheme. I had been getting quoted around £500 and then got fully comp for £150 less.
Almost at the same time the renewal for my West Coast HOG membership came through. I joined that because I got a years free HOG membership when I bought my bike new. I must admit I enjoy the few social events I've attended through HOG. The barbeques and the club nights through the summer were enjoyable but I never did manage to persuade myself to go on an organised "ride-out".
I may continue to enjoy one club socially and get loads of benefit from the other. Pity neither is entirely good for both but that's so often the way of things.
So from being some one who "wouldn't join a club which would have me as a member"* I'm now in TWO! (OK it's three if you count HOG and West Coast!!)
