Thanks for being a guest subscriber of the COG forum and being part of making it a great resource for Concours owners. You may have initially registered to check out the club and see what we are all about, review upcoming activities, research the Concours a bit more before making a purchase, or looking for information to help resolve a technical issue or question. Whatever the reason, hopefully you have found the club's forum and other web pages useful and informative, like what you see, and are ready to take the plunge to become a full club member.
Forum only subscribers are identified by the the COG # field under their avatar saying "forum" or sometimes blank instead of a COG member number. Converting a forum subscriber account to full COG membership is easy.
Click here for instructions on how to pay dues and become a full member. Why pay dues? As a club member you will receive terrific member only benefits such as the quarterly club magazine, The Concourier, an annual member handbook/directory (mailed once annually in the spring), access to the member's online store (club apparel), a membership card, and more. A full description of member services and a link to a sample Concourier magazine can be found on the
Membership Benefits web page by clicking here.
If the online services the club provides still leaves you undecided if club membership is for you, please consider joining us at one of our activities to get a personal experience. A complete list of activities can be viewed in the online Calendar of Events. We welcome guests at any of our events, including club rallies. Full club members are entitled to rally fee discounts that can provide savings that can be equal to or greater than the cost of annual membership dues.
Club dues are very reasonable at only $37 per year for an individual membership, and $42 for member + associate. Discounted multi-year memberships are also available. Being an all volunteer, not-for-profit club, COG always tries to use member dues very efficiently and provide club members a good value. The club magazine and rally discount savings alone are worth the annual dues.
The Concours Owners Group has always prided itself on being an open club, welcoming riders to participate with us online, and at our rides, rallies, and other events. Riders of any brand or style can be members, which is evident by the many different motorcycles at our events.
The Forum Subscriber (free) guest membership is a way many have become familiar with COG and to find out what we are all about. We really hope you will please give consideration that it is impossible to offer these services at no cost. All COG services (including this forum) are funded in full or in part by members via annual membership dues. COG offers guest membership hoping you will check us out, like what you see here, and eventually join the club as a full member.
The real question is... Why not be a dues paying member?
