Matt "Red" Orcutt, from Olympia Washington, USA

My name is Matt "Red" Orcutt. I joined the Chapter in 2008 when I lived in Germany after I met a few Chapter members in Ireland and was invited to a meeting on the return trip. I currently live in Olympia Washington, USA. We try to make it over the pond every few years for TITG and have helped with the rally when we make it over. I've made lifelong friends in the Chapter, and the people I've met make the Chapter great. 

 

Pascale Bertschi & Dominique Koster

We are living in a small village Pfaeffikon nearby Zurich, at the Pfaeffikon lake. My name is “Kosti”, my wife Pascale Bertschi and I are passionate motorbike riders (more than 30 years) and we joined the Dunedin Chapter in 2019 after we participated at the TITG.

We love touring the swiss mountains with friends on our Electra glide ultra classic custom.

Others buy a Porsche when they have the midlife crisis, I bought a V-Rod with a Porsche engine. ;-)

This June 2021 we (us, SMEW, ROBY, and MC Thomas) have planned to come over again and do the NC500. We hope that some members would like to meet us or do part of our itinerary together with us.

safe ride for everyone. Kosti & Pascale

 

Stephan & Nita from
Kapellen, Antwerp, Belgium

We are living in a small village Kapellen in the province of Antwerp, nearby the Dutch border. I'm retired as a military police officer. For years and years, I was also a motorcycle instructor and so the step to riding in private was very small. After our first visit to the states we chanced our Honda pan European for our first Harley, never regret this 😉 For this moment it is our third Harley, the FLHTK 2014 CC blue with black lines. In my duty time, it was me to give orders but now I receive orders from my wife 🙃 the perfect Houseman 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Nita has still to go to work for 5 years... Yes liberty 😎 and then Holliday for the rest of our life 🙃
In our hometown, we are members of the Friends on wheels Antwerpen all Harley riders. We hope and believe that we will receive our freedom back very soon after the injections and looking forward to seeing us again.

Greater
Zurich Area, Switzerland

My name is Stefan “SMEW” Wyss and my wife Ruth “ROBY” Wyss are passionate motorbike riders and joined the Dunedin Chapter in 2019 after we participated at the TITG.

We live in the Greater Zurich Area, Switzerland. We love Scotland very much and combined with a motorbike it’s unbeatable.

Arnold Berger from Münsingen/Bern, Switzerland

 

My name is Arnold "Noldi" Berger and I have been a member of the Chapter since 2019. I live in Münsingen nearby the Swiss capital Bern, very close to the Alps.

Together with my wife Anna Rosa I have done countless motorbike trips, we are touring riders and love to explore Europe.

We ride by Harley's (2016 Electra Glide and 2018 Heritage Softail) or Honda's (2003 XL 1000 Varadero and 2007 CBF 1000).

In daily life, we are owners of a bakery-pastry shop and proud grandparents for one year.

 

Frank Shattuck - From New Hampshire USA

 

My name is Frank (Grizzly) And this is my lovely wife of 26 years, Wendy! We live in New Hampshire in the US. We joined the Dunedin Chapter last July when our Gate City chapter was retired when the dealership closed. We are both of Scottish descent ( my mother a Montgomery and Wendy from the Wilsons on her mother’s side).

Our scooter is a 1998 Electra Glide Classic FLHTCI.

Riding is our number one love and we do have some beautiful riding here in New England, but other hobbies include camping kayaking, archery, and axe throwing.

A highlight for us at this time is going to be first-time grandparents, any second, and then second-time grandparents about two months from now !!! When it rains it pours I suppose!

 

Brian Jones from Washington USA

My name is Brian Jones and I have been a member of the Dunedin Chapter since 2017.  I live in Enumclaw, Washington, USA, and have been a Tacoma Chapter HOG member for the past 11 years. Here in the Northwest area of the United States, it is very similar to where I grew up in Kilmarnock. 

 

I presently ride a 2012 Ultra Limited with a few modifications, and truly enjoy riding around the Pacific Northwest. This is the third Harley I have owned, and have spent many additional years on BMW, Honda, and Kawasaki motorcycles. Before retiring, I spent 35 years in law enforcement and was very fortunate to be assigned motorcycle duty for 25 of those years. Riding a motorcycle is certainly an adventure!

 

Thomas Hediger from Winterthur - Switzerland

I joined the Dunedin Chapter in 2020 – after a great time at TITG 2019- besides I went up with my friends from Switzerland with my bike.

I live in Winterthur, in the east of Switzerland, and love to air out my head from everyday life in short or long rides on my Softtail Slim S.

The picture shows me with my bike in August 2019 in front of the distillery Tomatin (of course without tasting)
