About Northern NSW Chapter

The Northern NSW Chapter is the second oldest chapter of the Harley Owners Group in New South Wales, the first chapter to be formed on the (far) north coast of New South Wales, and one of the earliest in Australia. The club was 30 years old in 2019. 

We are located in sunny Northern NSW, on the far north coast of NSW centered around Byron Bay our members live as far South as Yamba, West of Casino and North to Tweed.

We are a relatively small and very active club comprising of some seventy members but growing. However, in our 31 year history, we have seen many times this number of members.

Our sponsoring dealer is North Coast V- Twins in Coffs Harbour NSW. 

Our activities include morning rides, one-day rides, Club member BBQ rides and weekend (overnight) rides. Many of our members regularly attend the various H.O.G rallies held all over Australia and overseas

Many of our club events raise funds in support of a number of charities.

Originally, the Club was formed in 1989 with Seaside Motor Cycles (owned and operated by Joe and Marilyn Fisher) as its sponsoring dealer for almost two decades.

In 1999 we hosted the NSW State Rally at Lennox Head , which is still remembered by many as the “best ever”.

Almost twenty years after its formation, the club sponsorship changed when the dealership came under new ownership, and 2008 saw us hosting the highly successful National Rally at Lennox.

After a brief change of ownership the business was re-purchased by Steven and Andrew Fisher of Ballina Motorcycles, now trading at the original address in Kerr Street, Ballina, however, the Harley-Davidson dealership was not retained

We were temporarily sponsored by Harley Davidson in Sydney during 2011 – 2012.

In late April 2012 we were able to continue as the Northern New South Wales Chapter under the sponsorship of Ashley Beaton, North Coast V-Twins in Coffs Harbour.

On the 29th June 2012 the Chapter became incorporated 

February 2019, saw  City Bike Worx Lismore became an authorised Harley Davidson Dealer and our Sponsoring Dealer, In September the same year , we hosted the Rally@Byron (state rally). A fantastic week of riding and doing H.O.G. things went on with amazing weather and riding.

Sadly City Bikeworx closed in 2020 due to the passing of the Sponsoring Dealer Dave Waldron and we were again accepted for sponsorship by Ashley Beaton at North Coast V-Twins. The Chapter is now looking forward to a long and stable association with them.
