It wouldn’t be the end of another year without a wee Garage party at our sponsoring dealership West Coast Harley Davidson.
Not a Clyde Valley HOG event as such but I am sure you will identify a fair few “well-kent” faces in the audience for this event.
Around 150 guests were present to see the latest builds in the workshop, hear about the latest in Harley engine tuning from Don Performance, see the latest two custom creations to emerge from the West Coast “Custom Haus”, a pair of 131ci powered bikes, a Street Glide in a Harley #1 endowed Red and a Breakout in Black with a unique 1-3-1 playing card styled paint design and hear from some of the craftspeople engaged to bring these machines to life. Tom Hurley the bike upholstery master was there to give an insight into what goes into his hand crafted bike saddles, and Gavin Brown to tell us how much prep work and how many coats of paint go into the jaw-dropping creations he produces.
And of course there was time aplenty to speak to the team, discuss ideas, indulge in beer, burgers and Hot Dogs and have a browse at the bikes looking for new homes in the showroom.

On Saturday, we kicked off the riding season with an overnight trip to the Buccleuch Arms in Moffat, attracting nearly 40 Harleys and over 50 members. Despite changing weather, we arrived safely and enjoyed the hotel’s amenities. The night was filled with laughs and mischief, marking a successful start to the season. It was great too, to have both old and new members along for the fun. - Being Safe and Prepared on Ride Outs
