One million people around the world are united by a common passion: making the Harley-Davidson "dream" a way of life.
The Tasmanian chapter of the Harley Owners Group is sponsored by Richardson’s Harley-Davidson. The H.O.G. representative at Richardson’s is Jim Selby.
The Harley Owners Group was formed by the Harley-Davidson Motor Cycle Company in 1983. Bringing together people from all walks of life, who have a common interest and love for Harley-Davidson Motor Cycles.

Ladies of Harley
Welcome to Ladies of Harley (LOH), a program sponsored by the Harley Owners Group (HOG) to encourage female members to become more involved in their local chapter’s activities and rides. Membership is open to all female Harley enthusiasts. Whether you are a rider or a pillion, you are all welcome.
LOH is not a separate group from HOG but simply an added benefit for female members. There is no additional cost to join LOH, you will receive extra benefits including a LOH patch and annual badges demonstrating your continued LOH membership.
When a Chapter ride or event is labeled 'LOH' it does not mean that it's for ladies only, it simply means that the event is organised by LOH. Male members are always welcome and encouraged to attend LOH rides and events to support our ladies.
How do you become a member of LOH?
LOH membership is administered through HOG Australia, rather than the Tasmania Chapter. First you need to be either a full or associate member of HOG Australia.
To become a member go to the HOG Australia website, www.hog.com to complete the appropriate membership form and remember to tick the LOH box.
If you are already a HOG Australia member, access your profile on the website and edit your personal details, and tick the 'LOH' box.
After joining LOH, patches, badges, and information will arrive a few weeks later. If they don’t arrive please enquire with HOG Australia by either email or phone.
Also, see our Membership Guide page for details on how to become a member of the Tasmania Chapter.
If you need further information about LOH please contact our Chapter Ladies of Harley Officer at [email protected]
Club History
H.O.G. started in Tasmania in 1992 with the Northern Tasmanian Chapter sponsored by Richardson's Motorcycles, Launceston. The first newsletter was in August 1992 and by December, newsletter no.4 lists 29 financial members. The Club included members from across the north of the State.
A second H.O.G. Chapter commenced in mid June 1998, following Richardson's Harley-Davidson opening a dealership in Hobart. Their founding meeting was held on 2 April 1998 with 24 members plus further associate members. In 2000 they commenced their own newsletter which was named 'South Pork'.
Following the closure of the Hobart dealership the Southern Chapter ceased to exist in April 2002. On 25 August 2002 both the North and ex- Southern Chapters combined to form the Tasmania Chapter Inc., and we haven't looked back. Given the distance between the regions, rides are programmed to maximise the inclusivity of all Tasmania Chapter members
See our Membership Guide page for details on how to become a member of the Tasmania Chapter.
