BIKERS from the Dunedin Harley-Davidson Owners Group (HOG) have taken to the road to mark their chapter’s 25th anniversary.
And before they headed for a ride over the Queensferry Crossing, more than 100 of them stopped off at Edinburgh Castle for a photo-call to mark the occasion.
The Dunedin Chapter is best known for Thunder In The Glens, the annual bikers’ rally that attracts thousands of bikers from home and abroad to Aviemore and the surrounding area on the last weekend of August.
Al McAuslan, who edits the chapter’s newsletter, said this was a special year.
He said: “Twenty-five years of riding as a family is something to celebrate.
“The chapter is evolving and growing all the time and we want to continue to move forward together, to grow our presence at HOG events.”
Dunedin will also be increasing the number of events for the Ladies of Harley, a group that includes Scottish crime writer Lin Anderson among its number.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
