Ride Loop Challenge Pamphlets
Now Available to all FX Thunder HOG Chapter Members
And it begins!!

Our Rider Loop Challenge is officially underway. Prizes to the Members who get the most points for each of the Challenges:
  • The Ride Loop Challenge: Pick a loop, any loop- then go ride it!! Along the way collect receipts and/or pictures of your bike as proof you rode it on the same day -at the start, middle and end. Must start & end at the same point on the loop. Then have a FXT HOG Officer verify your miles.
  • Ride and Have Fun Challenge: It's what we do!! Find any type of community, village or town name whose name begins with each of the letters -no duplicates! Take a picture of your bike with the community sign (fire stations & post office signs will work too), then have them verified by a FXT HOG Officer.

Both Challenges run from April 1 until September 30. Have your cards turned in by Oct. 31. May the best 'HOG' win!!!
Update on Path Through History Ride - July 30
This ride was originally going to Sackets Harbor for their War of 1812 re-enactment... except they're not having it this year. So, we adapt!!

Now the ride will be going to Fort Tribute for their Civil War re-enactment. Located in Madrid, it is a historical interpretive center located at the St. Lawrence Power & Equipment Museum.
Get the Details at FXThunderHOG.com/Events
Overnight Rides Update
Those Chapter Members who have either said that they'll most likely be going or definitely will be going on The "1" Ride and/or the Almost Heaven Ride have been put into a WhatsApp Group just for that ride. (That way we can make plans, share pictures, etc. and not bother the Main Group on WhatsApp)

Are you interested in going on one or both of these Grand Motorcycle Adventures?

Contact Dawn at Dawn@FXHarley.com or through WhatsApp to let her know!!
