The first meeting of the Salem Chapter of the Harley Owners Group occurred February 11, 1989. On April 1, 1989 we were recognized and approved by the National Harley Owners Group. By July the chapter had grown to 65 members and in a very short period of time we were the largest HOG chapter in Oregon. There are currently 191 members (or there about) in the chapter, 10 of which are charter members from the original group that founded it. Not still the largest chapter in Oregon, the group has continued to hold on to other important factors present from the very beginning. We have maintained a strong commitment to community involvement continuing to support MDA and the Shriners Toy Run. We support many charitable projects during the year and still find time to have fun in our annual poker run and the Veterans Day parade. Our biggest commitment is to ride and have fun.
