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.
1. Treat all other members with respect through a cordial and friendly attitude.
2. Conduct that creates, promotes, or maintains disharmony in the chapter will not be tolerated.
3. 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.
4. Any form of discrimination or harassment, including but not limited to sexual, racial, or religious, whether direct or indirect, will not be tolerated.
5. 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.
6. 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 officers, 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.
