All recognised Chapters are sponsored by  Harley-Davidson. Nene Valley Chapter formed in June 2001 with the opening of Wayside Harley–Davidson. In 2004 the dealership changed its name to Silverstone Harley-Davidson when it was taken over by new owners. Early in 2008 the dealership was bought by a Chapter member and his wife. The dealership closed as a Harley Davidson outlet in  the summer of 2010  having lost its Franchise.

In June 2006 Nene Valley Chapter officially twinned with Orval County Chapter in Belgium, who are situated in south eastern Belgium on the borders of France and Luxembourg
As a club we have gone from strength to strength growing in numbers year on year. We currently have around 300 members from all around Bedfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northamptonshire, Oxfordshire, Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Cambridgeshire and even as far away as Gloucestershire, Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Dorset, Sussex and the U.S.A.

Craig Jones European Stunt Riding Champion and holder of the World Record Stoppie became our 300th member when he was made an Honorary Member of Nene Valley in December 2006. During that year Craig had made a surprise appearance at our Squires and Spires IV Rally held at Towcester Racecourse, where he was persuaded to give an impromptu demonstration of his skills. We were then invited to join him on the Rockingham Circuit during one of our two rally ride outs the following year, where he again demonstration of his skills for us. In 2009 we joined him at a Festival of Motorcycling in Brackley .

We are a very active riding and social chapter with our members participating in many events throughout the year. There are ride outs planned for most weekends. Our members also attend rallies hosted by HOG and other Chapters, including our friends in Orval. Although we may be a small Chapter in numbers in comparison to other U.K. Chapters, a large number of our members regularly attend the HOG European Rallies where we won the Chapter Challenge for 3 years in a row. We also have also become well know at the South of England Rally for our participation in Chapter Challenge and our Saturday night antics.

An example of some of the events we already have planned for this year includes;

• Group rideouts on nearly every weekend, and some weekday evenings from around March onwards
• Numerous rallies provided by other HOG chapters
• Various chat rooms where you can meet up with other chapter members for a chat and a pint
• A clubnight on the 2nd Wednesday of every month at Towcester Rugby club

Nene Valley also supports many charities, both local and national, with members regularly holding events to raise money. Please click on the Charities Button to find out lots more.
