HOGS, HORSES & A GOLDEN GUITAR

HARLEY-DAVIDSON HOG RALLY 2015 WORDS & PHOTOS NICK WOOD

It began – for us journalists – in drizzle and it ended – for everyone – in a downpour, but so what? The 24th National Harley Owners Group (H.O.G) Rally was being held at the home of country music in Australia, and it looked as if this would be the largest collection of HOG members to date in Australia.

Leaving the drizzle of HD head office in Sydney, our little muster of journalists headed up through the Hunter Valley and onto the New England Highway towards Tamworth. I was riding the new Rushmore Project 2015 Street Glide,which is about as good as it gets for touring on a Harley-Davidson (which is very good indeed) and I found my steed comfortable and enjoyable to ride for long distances.
