West Penn HOG is a local chapter of the Harley Owners Group, sponsored by New Castle Harley-Davidson/Buell, Inc. We are a non-political, recreational organization formed to enjoy, discover, and promote the unique experience of owning and riding Harley Davidson motorcycles.
Currently we are nearly 300 strong with members coming from all counties in Western PA and Eastern Ohio. Our members represtent all walks of life: white collar, blue collar and the always popular black t-shirt collar. We also represent every style of rider: novice to seasoned; day trippers to coast-to-coast cruisers. For the female enthusiast, we have an active LOH -- riders and passengers are welcome.
In order to accommodate our members, our monthly chapter business meetings change with the season.
Summer Schedule: May through September: Meeting held the first Tuesday of each month, 7 PM at the North Park Lounge Deck House, Rt. 19, Cranberry Twp., PA -- Please Note this change--
Winter Schedule: October through April: Meeting held the first Sunday of each month, 10 AM at Brown's Country Kitchen, 1149 West Portersville, Rd., Portersville, PA. Buffet breakfast is available at 9:00 AM for your convenience.

No matter what your riding preference is, West Penn HOG has a ride to suit your tastes!
Our chapter rolls into the New Year with the Annual Penguin Ride on New Years Day. If that's too cold and crazy for you, you can join your fellow HOG members in mid-January for our annual Holiday Party. February, March and April we get together for fun activies such as: Boogie Bowling, Mystery Theater Dinners and Charter Tours. In April we also gather for our first Adopt-A-Highway Roadside clean up.
Throughout the warmer months, we plan several rides -- daylong and overnight cruises, short dinner rides, rides to races, runs, and rallies -- whatever you like to do, you're sure to find a West Penn ride that will excite you. You'll really enjoy our annual Summer Picnic -- good food and beverages, bike games, and door prizes -- we have it all!!
Our chapter is also involved with the community. We participate in Adopt-A-Highway. We are active supporters of Camp-Kon-A-Kwee, and enjoy sharing our time and talents with the campers. Each year, our LOH group selects and hosts fund raisers for local and national charitable organizations.
In the fall New Castle HD and West Penn HOG co-host New Castle Harley's Fall Foliage Ride -- one of the premiere runs in Western PA, often drawing in hundreds of motorcyclists. Our chapter concludes the 'traditional riding season' with our Annual Covered Bridge Ride following the October meeting. It's always a great, scenic ride.
You can purchase a new Harley at New Castley Harley Davidson/Buell, Inc. and receive a free year's membership to West Penn HOG ;-) .... or you can chose the economical (but less fun) method of paying annual dues -- $10/member.
