The Intermountain Chapter is one of the largest HOG Chapters in Idaho, and we're also one of the biggest in the Pacific Northwest. As Membership Coordinator for the chapter, I get asked lots of questions. A few of the most common ones are listed below along with a brief answer.

If you have other membership questions, click here to send me an email, or give me a call at 208.890.4256 I look forward to you joining our chapter and HOG family!

How do I become a member of the Intermountain Chapter?
Before you can join a local HOG chapter, you must first become a member of National HOG. You can do this by calling 1-800-CLUBHOG (1-800-258-2464) or by signing up directly on their website at www.hog.com.

Once you are a national member and have received your US HOG ID number, you can join IHOG. Simply print out and complete a copy of our Membership Enrollment Form, and bring it to the next chapter General Meeting along with your $20 annual membership dues. You can also mail your completed form and check to me (address listed on the membership form), or drop these off at our sponsoring dealer locations High Desert Harley-Davidson.

When and where does the Chapter meet?
Chapter meetings are held on the last Friday of every month at the Eagles Lodge, 7025 W. Overland Road in Boise. Meetings begin at 7:00 p.m. but most members come early to grab a beverage and socialize first. Occasionally our general meetings are held on an alternate Friday, so be sure to visit the Events Calendar to confirm meeting dates.

Do you hold special meetings for new members?
Yes, we hold three "New Member Orientations" throughout the year. The next one will be scheduled soon. Orientation will be held at the new High Desert Harley-Davidson dealership at 2310 E. Cinema Drive in Meridian, next to the Majestic Theaters, in the upstairs conference room. You'll meet our chapter Officers, learn about chapter activities, the charities we support, how to get started volunteering at fun events, plus you'll be given the highlights of riding in groups and using hand signals. This is a great time to meet other members, learn about the chapter, and decide how to get the most out of your membership with IHOG!

What are the benefits of being a member of HOG?
You will become a member in the best motorcycle club anywhere! Throughout the year, you'll receive magazines from National HOG as well as have access to our local chapter newsletter "HOG Squeals", which will keep you informed about upcoming rides, events, and news. As a member, you can purchase patches, t-shirts, pins, go on rides, and hang out with other members that love motorcycles. Simply put, you'll be a family member in a club where you'll make life-long friends and build cherished memories...
and we're sure you'll enjoy the ride.

What kind of ID cards will I receive?
National HOG will mail you an ID card that includes your US HOG ID#. You'll be asked to present this card if you attend any state HOG Rallies or events hosted by other HOG chapters. You'll also receive an IMCHOG ID card, which shows your US HOG ID#, and you'll need to present this local card at our chapter functions. Our sponsoring dealer High Desert Harley-Davidson generously issues discount coupons to our members at the monthly general meetings; to pick up one of these coupons at a meeting, you will need to show your IMCHOG ID card.
