Omaha CO Bluffs Chapter Chapter 2714
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We know you don’t really need another reason to ride, but we have one anyway!

The OCB HOG Mileage Challenge is simply to see how many miles our chapter can accumulate each year.  More miles means - more fun!  Plus you get a chance to win a Gift Certificate.  Here’s how it works:

1.     For each 500 miles you ride and record, you get a ticket entered into the monthly drawing.  One ticket is drawn and the lucky winner wins a gift certificate to spend at our dealer.  Let’s say you ride and report 750 miles during a month.  At the next chapter meeting you’ll get one (1) ticket entered into the drawing for a chance to win.  We throw your ticket into the hat with all the others for the month and draw for the winner.  Your remaining 250 miles (750 – 500 = 250) carries over to the next drawing.  Let’s say you only ride 200 miles the next month for a balance of 450 miles.  You get no tickets at the next chapter meeting and no chance to win.  But the following month you take a trip to Florida and ride an additional 950 miles.  Add the 450 miles carried over to the new 950 miles and you get 1400 miles total.  The 1400 miles will get you two (2) tickets in the next chapter drawing and 400 miles carries over again.   Thank goodness for computers to help us keep track of this for us!

2.  You don’t need to attend the chapter meetings to win; however, it’s more fun if you do! 

3.   You must be an Omaha Co Bluffs Chapter member to participate.

4.    You may enter any of your Harley-Davidson or Buell motorcycles.

5.    You must register with a chapter officer to get started.  The information they will need is:

a.    Your National H.O.G number

b.    The make, model, and year of your Harley-Davidson or Buell

c.    The current mileage

6.    You may get credit for Fly-n-Ride miles by presenting your mileage receipt to a chapter officer.

7.    The Chapter’s accumulated miles for the year resets after the October Chapter meeting each year.

8.    If you have update your mileage information on our website within the month of October prior to the October Chapter meeting, you will remain registered for the next year and any roll-over miles you have will continue into the next year.  Otherwise, your mileage is considered stale and out-of-date and will be dropped.

9.    Upon request, you must provide “reasonable and timely” viewing access to your motorcycle(s) odometer.    

10.   Our local Mileage Challenge is *not* associated with National H.O.G’s Mileage Contest.  You must enter each one separately.

The Fun part!

Once registered, you can update your current mileage(s) as often as you like via our website at http://www.ocbhog.com.  Just click on the Speed-O-Meter on our home page, enter your National HOG number and then the current mileage into the page next to your motorcycle’s description.  Don’t forget to press Submit.  It’s that easy!  Even a motorcyclist can do it.  

We encourage you to update your mileage often so we can all watch the chapter mileage grow.  We provide a list of miles recorded on the site but don’t automatically show whose miles they are unless you allow us.  You opt-in on the same page that you update your mileage.

Some members have tried different strategies to better their odds of winning.  The best strategy is to ride and report your miles.

A bit of Omaha Co Bluffs HOG Mileage History

The purpose of the chapter’s mileage contest has always been to encouragement riders to get out, ride and have fun.  Beginning in 2000 through 2008, our mileage contest was divided into a summer and a winter season.  For each season, the top-3 men’s and top-3 women’s highest recorded mileages were honored with recognition certificates and gift certificates from our dealership.  This worked as intended and got many members actively reporting their mileages, until it became apparent that the top mileage winners were often the same from season to season.  This caused those that couldn’t ride as much to lose interest in the contest.  At the beginning of the 2009 winter season, it was decided to try something new to get focus back to a chapter and fun for everyone.  To make it more exciting, the gift certificates that had been provided semi-annually were divided up to support the monthly drawings in which anyone could win.  The mileage challenge website was launched to allow members to keep track of their own mileages and watch the chapter mileage soar! 

Help us break new mileage records each year, get registered, ride and have fun, and increase your chance to win.
