June 4th, 2010 will see the new 1st SEA HOG Rally 2010.. Many old riders may ask, 1st SEA HOG?. There has already been about 5 SEA HOG Rallies so why call this The 1st SEA HOG Rally?. The previous SEA HOG Rallies were only in name and were solely organised by Malaysia Chapter albeit they were strongly participated by other HOG Chapters from the South East Asian Region and elsewhere around the globe.

With the keen interest expressed by HOG International and The Harley Motor Company, the wheels were put into motion in early 2008 to have a SEA HOG Rally jointly organised by the 5 HOG Chapters from the South East Asia Region, Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Thailand. So, in the true spirit of the Harley Brotherhood and to even better enhance the already strong ties between the various SEA HOG Chapters, the joint committee, decided to name this historic rally, The 1st SEA HOG Rally 2010 which truly embodies the Harley Spirit in its name.

The dates for the rally have been fixed for the 4th June to the 11th June. The chosen starting point shall be Singapore. Riders will converge on this Island City on the 4th and a Grand Welcome/Kick-off dinner will be hosted for the participants by Harley Davidson Singapore. Dinner will be an al fresco affair under the stars and within sight of the Singapore Flyer and also The Singapore F1 track. After dinner, a grand convoy ride thru the City has been arranged.
