Harley-Davidson is unleashing the next wave of innovation.
The HOG® Magazine is a perfect-bound magazine published 5 times a year and mailed directly to the members of the Harley Owners Group® (H.O.G.®) as part of their membership package. The magazine features product information, riding stories, and photographs as well as in-depth stories about motorcycle travels around the world on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
There are a number of good reasons to become a HOG member if you’ve made the commitment to ride a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. If you’re already a member then you just got a FREE bonus.
I’m talking about the tablet edition of the HOG Magazine. The tablet edition contains all the same content as the print edition, plus digital-only content such as expanded photo galleries, interactive web links and more. You can get more information HERE or go directly to iTunes HERE and download the app.
There is no charge for current full and full life members. The app is included as part of your membership benefits and you don’t need a new account or password for the Apple App Store. You can use your existing iTunes account credentials to install Newsstand and download the HOG magazine app.
I downloaded the app to an iPad mini this week and the magazine content came to life. The photo’s pop and it’s easy to navigate the various articles. I really liked the ability to click on a link and get expanded information from the article. I suspect there will be a lot more interactive content in future articles such as video and audio.
Enjoy.

By “digital disruption” I was anticipating a bandwidth hogger (pun intended) or cancellation of services or something.
As above, download it from the Apple Store as the “HOG Magazine” App but you need your last name (too easy) and your HOG membership number…not for associate members though.
The Harley-Davidson Facts
The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson , died and went to heaven.
At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur, ‘Since you’ve been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.’ Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ‘ I want to hang out with God.’ St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne room, and introduced him to God. God recognized Arthur and commented, ‘Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle?’
Arthur said, ‘Yeah, that’s me…’
God commented: ‘Well, what’s the big deal in inventing something that’s pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can’t run without a road?’
Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, ‘Excuse me, but aren’t you the inventor of woman?’ God said, ‘Ah, yes.’
‘Well,’ said Arthur, ‘professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention!
1. There’s too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension.
2. It chatters constantly at high speeds.
3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much.
4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust.
5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!
‘Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,’ replied God, ‘hold on.’
God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.
‘Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,’ God said to Arthur, ‘but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours’.
