The Fairfax VA Chapter of the Harley Owners Group was established in 1999 in association with its sponsor, Patriot Harley-Davidson. It is registered as a 501-C-7 not for profit organization. The Chapter is comprised of over 350 riders, primarily from Fairfax, Arlington and Loudoun Counties. We are a very energetic and a diverse group defying many of the “biker” stereotypes.  Representing many walks of life, we are united by our love of riding Harley Davidson motorcycles.

The Chapter’s mission is to ride safely, have fun and give a little back along the way. This mission is supported by its members with:
– busy activities calendar, including 125 organized rides
– programs to build skills in safe riding
– activities to improve our communities through charitable and service groups

The Fairfax VA HOG Chapter is proud of the relationship it has created with the local community. Relationships have been built with local law enforcement, civic leaders, fire and rescue, educators, other service organizations and business leaders.  The Chapter is active in community events . Fairfax VA HOG community-related activities result in financial and in-kind contributions plus many hours of volunteer work.

You will see Fairfax VA HOG members involved in community activities including: City of Fairfax Adopt-A-Spot (highway cleanup); Library and School Show & Tells; Membership in InterService Club Council; Blood Drives, MDA and several Community Parades. Members also support the Salvation Army’s Back-To-School and Christmas Stocking programs. Preparing a Thanksgiving dinner for the homeless at the local LAMB Center is an annual event along with Christmas collections of food, personal items and gifts to the LAMB Center to help homeless families.

The Chapter is especially motivated to honor those men and women in uniform who risk their limbs and lives every day to protect our families and our nation. Healing Heroes and Officer Down are two of the organizations we support each year.

The Chapter’s signature event is held each Memorial Day weekend.  We cohost the Ride of the Patriots, a Memorial Day tradition honoring and remembering those who have given their lives to protect and defend our nation and our liberty. This event began in 1998 when a few hundred bikers joined up to ride to Rolling Thunder at the Pentagon. The event has grown to include a parade and opening ceremony and has been credited with reestablishing a Memorial Day tradition within the hearts and minds of the Fairfax community. By 2020 over 7,000 riders rode with us to Rolling Thunder to join over 400,000 other bikers from around the USA and the world.  Rolling Thunder has been renamed Rolling to Remember.
