Some organizations insist that their members all ride the same brand or kind of bike—for example, the H.O.G. (short for Harley Owners Group) all ride Harley Davidson motorbikes. However, there is no rule stating that this must be the case. Indeed, the nature of some clubs means that they would not be able to function if everyone were to ride the same make and model of bike. For example, the Leatherman Tool Group consists of various companies that make tools for outdoor enthusiasts, but they all have a common thread - they are all made by Leatherman. The only requirement that most clubs place on their members is that they wear their colors with pride and allow other members to see them do so. Often, the only thing required of a new member is that they attend one meeting before being allowed to vote on official club business. As long as you follow these rules, you can't go wrong! Clubs can be as small as what you would expect from people who share similar interests or as large as international organizations. There are hundreds of clubs across the United States and around the world. In fact, there are more than 10,000 motorcycles clubs worldwide. Many clubs have regular meetings where members can come and talk about issues affecting their community or their organization. They may also have social events such as rides or barbecues where members get to know each other better.
