Membership Information

Welcome to the Green Mount Road HOG Chapter of O'Fallon IL.   The Green Mount Road Chapter invites you to ride and attend our events with us.   As you can tell our motto is 'Ride and Have Fun'.  

We are the oldest HOG Chapter in the Metro St. Louis Area, originally established as Belleville HOG until June 2007.   Then known as the Stone Celts Chapter with the move from Belleville IL to O'Fallon IL until January 2022.

The Green Mount Road Chapter is part of the National Harley Owners Group (National HOG) and as such we have one requirement to become a member.   You must be a member of National HOG.   The Harley Owners Group is an organization founded and sponsored by Harley Davidson Motor Company.   The group was established to offer motorcycling benefits and services to Harley Davidson enthusiasts throughout the world, and to develop a close relationship between the Harley Davidson rider, the Harley Davidson dealer and Harley Davidson Motor Company.   The goals of HOG Chapters are to generate an increased level of enthusiasm for riding Harley Davidson motorcycles, be family-oriented and a nonpolitical organization.

Membership

When you become a member of Green Mount Road Chapter you will be welcomed into a family oriented exclusive group.   You will meet other people that have the same desires that you do.  You will receive newsletters detailing current activities and events for the area, as well as e-mail reminders to our members.   All e-mails are sent blind carbon copy to protect our members from unwanted spam.   Our Chapter supports several charities throughout the year.   The motto of the Harley Owners Group is 'Ride and Have Fun'.   We try to do just that.   This is a social club, not a gathering for political forums.   Some of our rides are planned months in advance with others getting together on the spur of the moment.

Events

We have monthly dinner rides.   We encourage our members to take part in National HOG's ABC's of Touring.   On January 1st you will find us on our bikes for our Annual Polar Bear Ride, weather permitting.   And if weather doesn't cooperate we'll get together just to share a meal with other members.

Our chapter members are very active participants in the Illinois State HOG Rally.   In fact it was our chapter that proposed to bring the State Rally to Collinsville for 2004.   And in 2010 our chapter hosted the 2010 Illinois State Rally in O'Fallon, IL.   We actively schedule rides as a group to other HOG state and National rallies.   We also try to attend other local HOG chapter events as possible.

Our usually scheduled rides start with January's Polar Bear ride, Blessing of the Bikes, and Elk's Children's Ride just to name a few. And at least one weekend overnight ride to a place to be decided on by you, our members.

Ride and Have Fun is our foremost benefit.   Make new friends and socialize with people who have similar interests.   Get the opportunity to travel locally and nationally.   Gain more riding experience.
