All chapters originate from a dealership and all members must own Harley-Davidson motorcycles. The Niagara Falls Chapter is based out of American Harley Davidson on Erie Avenue in North Tonawanda. He said the local chapter supports several area charities, including K9 Helpers, Wyndham Lawn Home and food banks in Niagara County.
