Chesapeake Harley Davidson and Chesapeake HOG

HOG Logo

Last night I had the opportunity to visit the new Chesapeake Harley Davidson dealership in Darlington, MD and attend the Chesapeake HOG general meeting for June. It was an excellent night, Diana and I had a great time visiting with our brothers and sisters south of our border.

For those of you outside our area… I believe that Ramsey’s Chespeake Harley Davidson which was a rather small dealership had a new huge building which looks like a giant barn constructed which is now Chesapeake Harley Davidson. I also believe that the Cecil/Harford County HOG chapter changed their name to the Chesapeake HOG chapter. Congratulations to Chesapeake HD and Chesapeake HOG on these new and exciting changes.

The huge red barn is really cool. I like the natural wood inside the dealership that creates a cozey country feel. If you have the opportunity to visit this dealership, you should.

My Mission: I always wanted to see how other HOG chapters conduct their meetings but the purpose of my visit was to spread the word about an event in Wilmington, DE. I wanted let our brothers and sisters from Chesapeake know about an event that in my mind is a no brainer. The Wilmington Blue Rocks are having a Motorcycle theme night on July 26th. Tickets are only $8.00 and includes a fireworks show after the baseball game. This event will benefit the Motorcycle Accident Victims Foundation which is a charity for injured motorcyclists from our tri state area (Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania).

The Chesapeake HOG chapter welcomed us and let me address their club about the Blue Rocks event. They are a proud chapter, had a lot of activities to participate in and all their officers were interesting to listen to. They seem to have a great relationship with their dealership and I hope to join them on some of their upcoming rides.

Rock Hall, Maryland - Another Great Motorcycle Destination on the Chesapeake Bay

I have to credit Debbie Babbitt of my HOG chapter for opening my eyes to the amount of free information available about scenic travel. Last year we met for lunch and she showed me an amazing selection of maps, books and brochures published by the State of Maryland. The below pictured brochure folds out to a 17 x 22 poster size map of the Chesapeake Country National Scenic Byway. Click here to order up to 9 FREE brochures from the state of Maryland. I like the 17 x 22 format because you can fold the map into quarters and scan it on your home computer in 8.5 x 11 sections. See one of the sections below. The print outs fit in my magnetic tank map holder.

Diana and I didn’t make it to the 2008 Rock Hall Motorcycle show but we rode our Harley Davidson motorcycles to Rock Hall, MD today. We had a great day! 

The Mission: We went to Rock Hall specifically to check out two Bed & Breakfast places because I want to give my Dad a 2 day vacation get away to the Chesapeake as a Fathers Day present. He misses living in New England and going fishing on party boats from Plymouth. Hopefully sending him to this little fishing town in Maryland will be good for him. Unfortunately they don’t have boats like that here. They just have charter boats that you need to get about 6 people together to all chip in and rent the boat for a day. It costs about $600 to do that.
