Code of Conduct (rev. 3/23/2024)
Central Vermont H.O.G. is a family-oriented, non-political, non-religious, non-racial organization.
Riding motorcycles while helping each other enjoy their riding passion is at our core. Accordingly,
we take a very common-sense approach to our members’ expected behavior while at a Central
Vermont H.O.G. ride, meeting, or event.
- Treat all other members with respect through a cordial and friendly attitude.
- Conduct that creates, promotes, or maintains disharmony in the Chapter will not be tolerated.
- Foul, demeaning or offensive language or behavior at any Central Vermont H.O.G. rides, events or meetings, including at our sponsoring dealership, will not be tolerated.
- Any form of discrimination or harassment, including but not limited to sexual, racial, or religious, whether direct or indirect, will not be tolerated.
- Members shall not make critical or disparaging comments about this Chapter or other Chapters, its officers, another member, Wilkins Harley-Davidson or its employees, or the Harley-Davidson Motor Company in public or on social media.
- Aggressive behavior towards others, including verbal and/or physical abuse will not be tolerated.
Breaches of the Code of Conduct
- Personal disputes/disagreements between members, the dealership, or its employees should be resolved respectfully and discretely.
- The Chapter director, other officer, or ride leader can speak with the offenders privately, or act as a mediator with the affected and offending parties.
- Members found to be in violation of any of the above may face potential probation, suspension, or removal from the Chapter.
- The Sponsoring Dealer or H.O.G. Manager may terminate a person’s membership in the Chapter if the Sponsoring Dealer, at their sole discretion, determines that a member’s conduct is undesirable or contrary to the Sponsoring Dealer’s standards or vision.
