2009 HOG Events

The Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) organizes some of the largest and most popular Harley events annually, and they have announced that Oklahoma City as the host of the 2009 H.O.G. OKC. This event will be held on June 27-27, 2009, at the Oklahoma State Fair Park, and it will offer a wide variety of HD related entertainment under the name "Club HOG OKC".

Activities at the event will include musical acts on two stages, demo rides on 2009 Harley and Buell models, service seminars, the Willie G. Award, the H.O.G. Wall of Ink tattoo contest, the H.O.G. Garage, The Chapter Parade of Flags, and many other related functions. Of course, free motorcycle parking will be offered, and Kiddie demo rides are also being offered, so CLUB HOG OKC could be fun for the whole family.

Harley XR1200 in the US

Harley Davidson first debuted the XR1200 at the Intermot International Motorcycle Exhibition in Cologne, Germany in 2006, looking to measure the overseas interest in the dirt-track racer inspired Harley.

That viewing of the bike went well, and in early 2008 HD announced that they would be producing the XR1200, but to the dismay of the domestic Harley faithful it was only released in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa.

This week Harley Davidson has made the XR1200 available here in the US. Presumably based on the negative opinions around the original launch, the subtle American announcement was brief, having been little more than an announcement on a Westminster, California HD dealership website that they would be taking orders for the XR1200 through December 12, 2008.. There will be 750 units available, and the MSRP online is listed as $11,179 for what appears to be a standard XR1200, finished in the familiar orange and black

The initial launch of the XR1200 met mixed reviews in the US, but the lack of domestic availability got even more negative attention.
