CATAWBA VALLEY HICKORY NC CHAPTER #1399
Alcohol Policy
Safe and responsible motorcycling is our H.O.G.
Chapter’s major responsibility. The consumption and use of alcohol is a serious
personal responsibility involving the safety and welfare of family, riding
friends, and the individual H.O.G. member.
Chapter Rides:
·
No
alcohol consumption before or during a riding event.
·
Consume
alcohol before a ride-you can not join the ride.
·
Consume
alcohol during a ride-you will be asked to leave the group.
·
If
our destination is to an establishment that serves alcohol-the Chapter ride is
officially over when we arrive at the destination and the “kickstands go down”.
·
If
we are on an overnight ride-There will be two parts to the ride. 1st
part-Chapter ride to the destination. 2nd part-Chapter ride from the
destination to home.
·
If
a member consumes too much alcohol after a planned ride or event, and gives the
appearance of being unfit to ride or drive home, he or she will be asked by a
Chapter Officer to make other arrangements to get home. This may be calling a
friend or family member to pick you up or calling a taxi to take you home.
This action is for not only the rider’s benefit, but
also for the protection of innocent people who are on the road.
Chapter Non-Riding Events:
·
The
Chapter will not serve or sell alcohol.
·
If
alcohol is allowed, it will be “BRING YOUR OWN” or “BUY YOUR OWN” from a vendor
licensed and insured to sell alcohol.
Alcohol consumption before or during a motorcycling
activity is not safe, responsible behavior.
