Policies

The Woodlands Texas Chapter Mission is to:

Create a safe, welcoming, and enjoyable riding community where members ride responsibly, look out for one another, and practice courtesy, awareness, and good judgment on every ride. We are committed to promoting safe riding habits, encouraging personal responsibility, and fostering a strong sense of fellowship through shared miles, shared experiences, and a passion for motorcycling.
Ride Smart. Respect Others. Have Fun. Chapter policies are here to support safety, consistency, and a welcoming riding environment.

Impairing Substance Policy

Impairing Substance Policy: The consumption and use of impairing substances is a serious personal responsibility involving the safety of family, riding friends and the individual HOG member. Impairing substance consumption before or during motorcycling activity is not safe, responsible behavior. The Woodlands Texas Chapter #5402 does not allow the use of impairing substances before or during a riding event and does not furnish alcohol at Chapter rides. Riders whose skills are observed or suspected to be under the influence of impairing substances before riding cannot join the ride. Riders using impairing substances while riding will be asked to leave the ride. It is the responsibility of each The Woodlands Texas Chapter member to support the consistent enforcement of this policy.

*NOTE: The Ride Host will announce that the ride is over at the official end of the ride. In some cases this may be prior to the final destination or before returning to the start point. The Road Captains will no longer lead the ride and all riders will be responsible for riding individually from that time on.
