How Our Club Began

The Road Hogs Motorcoach and Motorcycle Club, Inc. was formed in 2007 by Mike Latone and Ron Powell as a club to provide members and guests the special opportunity to use their motorcoaches to travel to scenic locations throughout the United States and explore the area by motorcycle. The first rally was in April 2007, at a spot called Road Hog Park near the University of Arkansas. Two years later the club had reached 60 members and fittingly donned the name: The Road Hogs.

our mission statement

Road Hogs Motorcoach and Motorcycle Club is dedicated to providing opportunities for its members and guests to use their motorcoaches to travel to picturesque locales, and to explore these areas by motorcycle; while enjoying the company, friendship, and camaraderie of other members in a safe and entertaining manner. The Club’s mission is to plan two exceptional all-encompassing Motorcoach/Motorcycle Rallies annually and to do so exclusively for our member’s enjoyment.

President’s Message

To all the current and past Road Hog Members: Thank You for creating and supporting this wonderful club for members to appreciate and enjoy.

To future members, some of what you can look forward to are adventures, wonderful rides, and new friendships.

While our members’ enjoyment is important, we take safety equally importantly. All of our rides utilize safety precautions with team leaders and sweep riders as well as preplanned routes. We always look forward to our rallies and to sharing great times with friends and making memories along the way.

Finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors and the members of the club, we want to THANK our sponsors Prevost Coaches, Liberty Coaches, Featherlite Coaches, Millenium Coaches, Bentley’s Saloon, Emerald Coaches, Seminole Harley Davidson and RiverLandings Luxury Motorcoach Resort. We appreciate your support and we look forward to a continued and long-lasting relationship.
