What is Ladies of Harley®?
There are a lot of misconceptions about what LOH® (Ladies of Harley®) is. This section is to help clarify what LOH® is and how important it is to any HOG® Chapter. Ladies of Harley® (LOH®.) is a program sponsored by the Harley® Owners Group to support women motorcycle enthusiasts (notice I did not say rider). It doesn’t matter whether you ride your own or are a passenger, you can be a part of LOH®. While the LOH® officer and members of LOH® can organize events that may be more appealing to women, ALL members of the chapter are welcome to participate. That means guys, you can come too!
Any women who are national HOG® members can join, regardless of whether you are a full member, life member or associate member of HOG® Once you join LOH® you will receive an LOH® patch and pin. There is no additional charge to join LOH.® you simply check the box on your national application, sign up by calling 1-800-CLUBHOG or visit their web site at www.hog.com.

Why Women Ride
The list of reasons why women decide to ride Harley-Davidson® motorcycles is as long as the open road itself. Here are some common reasons why women decide to climb into the saddle.
Adventure - There aren't many options left for the person seeking pure, unadulterated adventure. Luckily, the excitement-hungry can still climb on a Harley-Davidson® and ride off into the sunset, finding the exhilaration they crave, and discovering new sights and experiences on the open road.
Camaraderie - No other motorcycle company has helped forge as many relationships as Harley-Davidson®. All over the world, Harley® riders can find a sense of community and companionship with other riders. Organizations like Harley Owners Group® seek to get riders together to share their experiences on the road. Some of them even end up meeting that special someone, finding a common passion in the excitement of riding.
Freedom - There's nothing like the feeling of climbing atop a rumbling Harley-Davidson® and temporarily leaving your responsibilities behind in the dust. When you're on the road, you answer only to yourself. How you spend your time is up to you.
