United by passion
The Harley Owners Group brings together passionate Harley-Davidson owners from all around the world. Offering group rides, events, exclusive merchandise, and much more, the organisation has grown to encompass over 1400 H.O.G. chapters worldwide.
“There’s a line on the bike that symbolises the connection between riders and the Motor Company,” said Harley-Davidson ANZ Managing Director, Nigel Keogh.
“Our HOG40 build is a commemorative salute to all our amazing customers who put in the miles on their Harley-Davidson motorcycles. It represents 40 years of celebration for the largest riding group in the world and was designed to reflect the legacy from 1983 with a single H-D orange line leading to the future.”
According to H.O.G member, Lee Dean, the anniversary represents a time to reflect on everything the club stands for and the bond its members share, all around the world.
“It’s important to celebrate 40 years of HOG,” he said. “There’s 40 years of tradition there to celebrate and there are some great stories and great history involved in it. It’s important to acknowledge that.”
