We have had some amazing summer destinations organised by our Head Road Captain. It certainly looks like a lot of you have been enjoying our fantastic weather to get to those destinations. Keep on logging those HOG miles!


Next year there will be a few vacancies on the board, so please think about nominating someone (or yourself) for any of these positions for 2025:

- Safety Officer
- Activities Coordinator
- Treasurer (from June 2025)

It would be great to get your nominations in to me before the November meeting as that’s when we will be voting on the board positions.


As always, if you have any questions about joining the group or anything HOG related, feel free to reach out to me at [email protected]. I'm always here to lend a hand and make sure your ride with us is good as gold!

Director: Tony B.

Shall uphold this Charter, conduct chapter meetings, and coordinate chapter officer responsibilities.

Here's a bonus – of sorts... 


“Frugals” Restaurant has three locations. Port Angeles, Spokane, and Missoula. No matter where you find yourself on your iron steed, look around. Whether you’re taking in the northern coastline of Washington – peering across at Victoria B.C., or on your way to the 2024 Challenge of the Fort Missoula Museum, you’ll likely see a Frugals! One last push to round out the year, folks. After this, the PNW weather will begin restricting many among us to fair-weather / catch-as-catch-can / more-close-to-home D’s. Get out there and make the most of the sunshine while you still can.


Get a photo of yourself, your motorcycle, and a Frugals (you pick one). Then, post it on our ES HOG Facebook page and/or send it to me at [email protected] You’ve got from now through midnight, Friday, 27 September 2024 to do so.

What The Pho?

Stepping into an officer role within the ESHOG community is not just about holding a title; it's about igniting camaraderie and enhancing the member experience! As I prepare to hand over my reins at the end of this year, I've come to realize just how pivotal our officers are in weaving the vibrant fabric of our chapter. I'm reaching out with an exciting opportunity for anyone interested in taking the plunge into leadership: help me with our upcoming Christmas party! This is your chance to connect with fellow Harley enthusiasts, share in the joy of the season, and make unforgettable memories together. Remember, every member has a unique spark to contribute, and together we can fuel the spirit of adventure that defines our riding culture. Let's ride this journey together—your community needs you!

Greetings, fellow riders of the ESHOG chapter! 


As we embrace the beauty of our stunning Pacific Northwest, it's essential to seize those perfect days for a ride, sharing the road and our stories with one another. While plans often unfold differently than we envision—like my annual pilgrimage to Sturgis, which took an unexpected turn this year due to my wife's shoulder surgery—it's the camaraderie and support within our community that truly matters. As I take on new responsibilities at home, I’m reminded of the strength and resilience we share as riders. 


So, I invite each of you to reflect on your own adventures and challenges and consider contributing your unique stories to the HOG CALL. Together, let's celebrate our passion for riding and support one another through life's twists and turns. Your voice is important, and I can't wait to hear from you!


P.S. The graphics are generated on the fly, and if you happen to see a picture of yourself with a pig, don't over oink about it :-).
