The Ellington Connecticut Chapter 0562 located in central
Connecticut and founded in 1985 was the first in the state with
Walter “Sarge” Amprimo as our director. The Chapter started out
with a handful of members and has since grown to 250+ members
and is still growing, as has the sponsoring dealer, TSI
Harley-Davidson. Meeting are held on the second Thursday of each
month at the American Legion in Rockville, Connecticut at 7pm.
The Chapter sponsors/supports many events on and off their
bikes: TSI Open houses, an annual Chapter poker run other
Chapter poker runs, spring/fall golf tournament organized by
Columbia Chapter, weekday dinner rides, ladies rides and Sunday
rides to no-where. We also inform the chapter on a variety of
charity rides either sponsored by TSI or just some of our
chapter member’s favorites. The CT State H.O.G Rally is a
weekend event in June that encompasses all nine Chapters in the
State of Connecticut. There are guided and self guided rides,
event games on and off your motorcycles, food and entertainment.
As beautiful as New England is for riding, our riders do not
limit themselves to this area alone. Members ride as far as
California, Florida, Myrtle Beach, Milwaukee, Prince Edward
Island, Sturgis, York, and other beautiful destinations. The
group also participated in an All Connecticut Chapter's ride and
was pictured with the other seven State Chapters in the issue of
H.O.G Tales®. Every year a different Chapter takes on the
organization of the “All Chapter Ride”. We co-sponsored the
event in 2006 with Columbia Chapter (our sister Chapter) and it
was a huge success! We had over 300 bikes with enough police
coverage so that we didn’t have to stop once on our 70+ mile
ride. And then we celebrated with music and a BBQ dinner.
During our downtime (otherwise known as winter), we include
trips to the NYC bike show, biker bowling, pot luck meetings and
a Holiday party for survival until our springtime Breakout Ride.
The club's website is a good source of information and
communication for the group. The next time you plan on visiting
Connecticut, give us a call or email us; we would like to show
you around our scenic New England. |
