Uniquely Raleigh HOG Patches
Raleigh HOG offers some great riding opportunities with our weekly group chapter rides. We also encourage members to take off on their own and enjoy the great North Carolina highways and byways on their Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Be sure to read the Patch Ride Rules and Guidelines and reach out to the Patch Ride Coordinators if you have any questions.
Mount up and ride the miles that bring the smiles and latch onto a patch.
John and DeeAnn S. are your patch ride coordinators
Please let them know when you are starting to work on achieving any of the patches
NC 100 Counties Patch
Raleigh HOG created this patch to encourage chapter members to visit all 100 North Carolina counties while riding their Harley-Davidson motorcycle. Each participating member must maintain and present a completed log to be awarded the patch. Couples should maintain a separate log for both participants. Obtain a copy of the patch rules, a log for recording county visits and a map to get started. Use the map to visually see what counties have been visited and to plan routes for counties to be visited. Credit cannot be claimed for county visits prior to officially starting.
