As we head into the final stages of Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO), the folks from Harley Owners Group Petaling Jaya or HOG PJ wanted to do something to show their support to all the hardworking frontliners who have been keeping us safe all this while. This morning, the Terima Kasih Front Liner – Tour Malaya Ride was flagged off at The Gasket Alley PJ, home of Harley-Davidson Petaling Jaya. (more…)
Harley-Davidson of Petaling Jaya (HDPJ) held a special dinner over the weekend for the Harley Owners Group of Petaling Jaya (HOG PJ) riders who rode to the the Phuket Bike Week 2019 (PBW 2019).
Formally called the “Phuket Mileage Program Appreciation Dinner” HOG PJ also awarded an exclusive and special pin for the ride.
According to Juan Chow Wee, the General Manager at Didi Resources Sdn. Bhd., “Whether it is an afternoon getaway or a transcontinental journey of a lifetime, every ride you take brings us all a little closer together. With HOG, you get rewarded for doing what you already love: Riding your Harley-Davidson.”
“To appreciate our members who joined the ride to Phuket, Thailand, we hosted this dinner and award them Phuket Bike Week pins to recognize the miles traveled.”
A total of 30 HOG riders took part in the ride.
Chris Ruxton, Assistant Director of HOG PJ added, “The following program is the first to be rolled out where we provide recognition to our members clocking in the miles in an official ride. We hope to do organize more of such programs.”
Malaysian Harley-Davidson riders and HOG members have a long history of visiting the PBW (and Songkran festival). The PBW is arguably the most prestigious bike week in the region.
Semangat setiakawan ditonjolkan Harley-Davidson Owners Group PJ (HOG PJ) dan Desmo Owners Club Malaysia (DOCM) ketika Camaraderie Ride.
Pengembaraan dua jenama motosikal ini membuktikan tidak wujud sebarang halangan halimunan yang sebelum ini didakwa memisahkan setiap kumpulan motosikal.
HOG PJ dan DOCM berkumpul di Gasket Alley, Selasa lalu bagi sesi sarapan pagi sebelum memulakan perjalanan ke Tanah Aina Fareena di Kampung Temiang, Karak.
Selepas selesai memuaskan nafsu durian, kedua-dua kumpulan meneruskan perjalan pulang ke Kuala Lumpur.
Fokus utama pengembaraan bersama ini bukanlah untuk mengisi perut semata-mata namun untuk memadam persepsi bahawa jenama motosikal berbeza tidak boleh ‘ride’ bersama terutamanya Harley-Davidson dan Ducati.
“Terdapat persepsi bahawa penunggang Harley-Davidson dan Ducati tidak boleh ‘ride’ bersama disebabkan gaya tunggangan berbeza. Tetapi Camaraderie Ride ini dapat mewujudkan semangat setiakawan baharu,” kata Pegawai Ladies Of Harley, Cilia Lob.
Persetujuan itu turut disuarakan Presiden DOCM Ainul Hasri.
“Bukan senang nak nampak lebih 100 buah Harley-Davidson dan Ducati bergerak bersama daripada Gasket Alley ke Janda Baik.
“Kami mengenali satu sama lain sambil menghargai keindahan jentera Itali dan Amerika. Pengembaraan ini membuktikan kami mempunyai hubungan baik antara satu sama lain. Saya harap kami akan terus memperkukuhkan hubungan ini dengan pelbagai aktviti lain kerana ini adalah moto DOCM, ‘Our Ride, Our Pride’,”jelasnya.
Sementara itu, pengembaraan DOCM dan HOG PJ turut dimeriahkan dengan penyertaan empat motosikal jenis Moto Guzzi V85TT.
The Harley-Davidson Owners Group PJ (HOG PJ) and Desmo Owners Club Malaysia (DOCM) Camaraderie Ride showed that the spirit of comradeship among bikers transcends they makes and types of motorcycles.
The two groups assembled at The Gasket Alley on 30th July 2019 for a light breakfast, before riding to Tanah Aina Fareena in Kampung Temiang, Karak.
There, the now single group of riders were served brunch and durian from the nearby hills.
It was a short ride and visit as it was a public holiday and the group headed back to Kuala Lumpur just after lunch.
What’s more important is that there has always been a general (and wrong) perception that owners of Harley-Davidson motorcycles and likewise those on Ducati bikes do not ride with those of other brands. This ride puts those views to rest.
Cillia Lob, Ladies of Harley Officer said, “There is perception that Harley-Davidson and Ducati bikers don’t ride together given the different riding styles. But this is one of the first and many more camaraderie rides to foster greater brotherhood and sisterhood among bikers, like our HOG PJ tagline, Lets Ride or Stay Home.”
DOCM President AInul Hasri said, “It was a spectacular sight as almost 100 Harley-Davidson and Ducati bikes roared out of The Gasket Alley to Janda Baik for brunch.”
“Bikers from DOCM and HOG PJ bonded and enjoyed each other’s warm presence while admiring each Italian and American beauty. Our ride proved the strong relationship that all riders have innately know, which is respect and care towards all riders, irrespective of their machines. I hope that we can foster this relationship between DOCM and HOG PJ further by having more joint community engagements. This is true to DOCM’s motto of Our Ride, Our Pride.”
Do note that there were four riders on the new Moto Guzzi V85TT on this ride, too.
We hope to see more such cross-brand rides in the future, to put brand-centric misconceptions to the rest.
