The Caledonia Harley Club is an independent club of like-minded men and women who want to ride Harleys and PARTY – not necessarily in that order.

The club has about 90 members and associates, from throughout Scotland and beyond, even including a few kilt-wearing Sassenachs! Our aim is to provide a focal point for H.D. riders in Scotland, ride to rallies and events at home and abroad and keep our members and friends informed about Club Events.

We are members of F.H.D.C.E (Federation of Harley Davidson Clubs Europe), MAG U.K. (Motorcycle Action Group) and N.A.B.D. (National Association of Bikers with a Disability).

We have an active Committee, club magazine “The Fiery Cross”, and e-mail address (see below). Each year we host one international rally ‘The Wallace’; a members and friends rally ‘The Galloway Gathering’; a Christmas Ceilidh; an A.G.M. and various other events.

A warm highland welcome awaits all our visitors.

If you are interested in joining, e-mail us at CALEDONIAHC@hotmail.com. Alternatively you may prefer to telephone me on 01786 822448, or our secretary Hazel on 01241 855052.

Slainte mhath,
Brian Young (President of Caledonia Harley Club).

The Caledonia Harley Club started life as a chapter of the Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.). Shortly after the first Wallace Rally in 1992, however, the vast majority of the membership left Caledonia H.O.G., which was still quite young, and our own club was formed in 1993. Roddy Smith, a.k.a. “Gruff” (R.I.P.), who led the breakaway, had been the Director of Caledonia H.O.G. He then became the first President of Caledonia Harley Club, a position he held for seven years until his death on his bike “Mo reasan a bhith”. Roddy led the club into the Federation of Harley Davidson Clubs Europe and put Caledonia firmly on the map as the Party Animals Club in Scotland.

Davy Meiklejohn, his able deputy, took over the Presidency and, among other achievements, extended the club’s hand of friendship throughout Europe by organising the Federation’s Presidents Meeting in Edinburgh in 2001. He also presided over the 8th, 9th and 10th Wallace Rallies. Well done Davy!

Davy volunteered me for the job at the end of his reign, and here I still am, more than twelve months later. Despite not having been on the committee before, the membership has stayed solid; we’re still in business and have just had our best A.G.M. party in years.

Who’s next?

"Club stuff" is going well. If you want to order anything put it on the form and post it to the club address. This makes my life a lot easier than turning up with money when I'm pissed, and spending the next few weeks working out where the money came from. Neil.
