2008 HOG ABC's of Touring officail guidelines
A" stands for adventure, but only you can determine what the rest of the alphabet stands for. Here are the official guidelines:
|
1. |
Entries must be from a current H.O.G.® member and must be for one person only. If a full and an associate member both wish to enter, each must submit separate forms with separate photos. Only prints on photo paper will be accepted. We are unable to accept digital photos printed on regular paper, photos stored on CDs, or slides. Digital cameras may still be used; however, only photos printed on high-resolution photo paper will be considered. A separate photo must be submitted for each point. Please put your photos in the same order in which they are written on the form. |
|
A minimum of 26 photos must be submitted to qualify for prizes. Entries MUST include an official 2008 ABCs form, available at your local dealer, on members.hog.com, or by contacting the H.O.G. office. ALL OF THE FOLLOWING ELEMENTS MUST BE INCLUDED IN EACH PHOTO SUBMITTED:
| • |
Your Harley-Davidson® or Buell® motorcycle. |
| • |
The cover of a 2008 edition of Hog Tales® or Enthusiast®. |
| • |
You (the entrant) – in at least six photos. |
| • |
An "official sign" as defined below. |

2. |
An "official sign" is:
| • |
A government building WITH the name of the city/village/town/county/state/ territory or country on it, such as a post office or police station (libraries or schools do not qualify). |
| • |
An authorized Harley-Davidson dealership may be used to designate a city and state ONLY. However, the first letter of the actual city where the dealer is located is the letter for which you will be credited. (For example: a photo of "Harley-Davidson of Charlotte" would give you credit for the letter "M" because that dealership is located in Matthews, NC.) Photos in front of H-D dealers must have the name of the dealership appear in the photo, and the name of the city and state written on the back of the photo. |
| • |
A sign posted by a government body, which lies WITHIN the boundaries of the place it identifies. (Mileage markers or directional signs are not allowed.) |

The name of the dealership, village, city, town, state, country, etc. MUST appear legibly on the "official sign" in the photo to receive points. Any illegible photos will not receive points. |
