Myron's 2015 ABC's of Touring |
|
Each year, the Harley Owners' Group (HOG) sponsors an
activity where members can win prizes, the
ABC's of Touring.
The idea is to win points by riding your bike to far off places.
Proof of the visits is in the form of a photo of your Harley in front of an
official sign. The same photo can be used
for more than one category but I try not to do so. Likewise, a HD dealer can
also garner credit for its city or state or province.
In each photo, you must have your bike, the sign, and a current year issue of a HOG magazine.
In at least six of the photos, I must also appear.
Below, any place names with no photos are locations which I may yet visit.
