History and List of Directors

 The Redding California Chapter #0286 of Harley Owners Group was created November 7, 1989.

 There were 40 original (or charter) members. The membership has continued to grow over the years to its current count of approximately 300 members. The first meeting was held at Upper Crust Pizza, then located on Hilltop Dr., now located on Churn Creek.

 The chapter is sponsored by Redding Harley-Davidson owners Dave and Robyn Wright. At the time the chapter was started, the shop was located on Hwy. 273 across from Pop’s Drive-In. It’s now on Twin View.

 When the chapter originated, it was quickly decided that the group would have two Chapter Rides  each month–one on the first Saturday of the month and another on the third Sunday of the month.

 This tradition continues today. Be sure to see the calendar for upcoming rides.

 The chapter sponsors several charity events each year. Annual charity events include the Easter Basket giveaway, Chili Cook Off, and Stocking giveaway to seniors during the holidays.

 Although we happily take on charity events, we are basically a social, riding club; the sponsoring dealer and the officers work hard to provide rides and events to entertain the members with the main goal to “ride and have fun.” Current annual events include the
Bike Show, Poker Run, Christmas Float, and Year End Party. We are always looking for the input and participation of the membership to plan new rides and events for our chapter calendar. Let one of the officers know if you have an idea for a fun event or ride.

November 2009 Redding HOG Chapter 0286 celebrated it’s 20th anniversary.
