The Miami-Shawnee H.O.G. Chapter began as the Painter Creek H.O.G. Chapter when the dealership was still located in Painter Creek, Ohio. The dealership moved to PIqua in 2001 and the name of the Chapter was changed to Miami-Shawnee in 2003.

We pride ourselves in being a "family friendly" Chapter and our activities reflect that. Chapter member's children often accompany then on dinner rides, Chapter picnics, bonfires and the like. We meet once a month in the H.O.G. Room at the dealership. We try to keep the mettings interesting by having rider skills and safe riding presentations, often supplementing with pizza and pop. During riding season we generally have two or three evening dinner rides, a couple of all day week-end rides and some overnight week-end rides. Our Chapter members often attend national and state H.O.G. rallies as a group. Our premier event of the season is our poker run, recognized as one of the best in the region. We welcome any and all inquiries regarding our organization. Questions may be directed to miamishawneehog@goverhd.com, any officer, or by calling the dealership

It saves time if print the release form in advance and have it ready when you arrive (see the link on this page to print) or we’ll have a copy that you can fill out at the beginning of each ride.

When are your meetings?

We have our meetings on week nights at 6:30 pm in the H.O.G. Room. They are normally held the third week of the month, but the day of the week varies. We do Monday one month, Tuesday the next month and so on. This way, we don’t rule out the possibility of some members to attend at least some of the meetings because they have a conflicting activity that occurs on the same day each week or month.

Where is the H.O.G. room?

The H.O.G. room is a meeting room built by the Gover’s for the purpose of Chapter and dealership meeting activities. It is located in the southeast corner of the Gover H-D/Buell building. You enter the H.O.G. room through the doorway at the far end of the building, adjacent to the shelter house.
