ABOUT OUR MEMBERS!

Harry Fisher, Drill Leader Harry joined the team in 1962 when he was 16 years old. In 1979, he took over as Drill Leader and Manager. He rides a 1951 Panhead, hand-shift, rigid frame Harley that he bought when he was just a kid and is only one of about four men in the world that can do the "Roman Ride", ride two bikes at the same time. He's led his team in the Rose Parade, the Hollywood Christmas Parade, the Silverdome, Good Morning America, NY City & much, much more.

Marty Fisher, Motor-man Marty joined the team in 1989, when he was just 14 years old, although he has been around the Motor Corps since he was born. In fact, he took his first ride on this 1964 Harley you see here, when he was just 10 days old. Now it's the Harley he rides in the shows and you'll most likely see him standing on its seat or as the foundation for the High Pyramid or other complex stunts. He and Harry are one of the four father/son pairs of the team.

Mickey Minor, Stunt Leader & Climber Mickey joined the team in 1985. His thinking at the time was that he would learn how to ride a motorcycle better. He'd ridden for several years, but thought he needed to gain more skill and control of the bike. He did gain a lot of excellent skill at riding his bike, but in the shows, they mostly have him upside down or climbing to the top of the pyramid. In 1991 he was voted in as Stunt Leader and has held that position most of the time ever since.

Mark Frymoyer, Ass't Drill Leader Mark has been riding in the team since he was 16 years old and has been hanging around the team for many more years than that. His Dad, Kirby, retired from the team a few years ago, so as a youngster Mark was always at the practices and shows. Mark is the "solo" stunt rider in the team. Although he can climb to the top of the pyramid and drive the 4-motor chariot, he prefers to do individual stunts - ride backward, on the handlebar, stand on the seat and just about anywhere else there is on a bike.

Sam Watson, Safety/Motor-Man Sam rode with the team originally in 1963 along with his father Sam Sr., and brother, Ray. Then Sam went into the military service for a spell, got married, and had a family. Now the family is grown and Sam is back again, doing stunts, riding drill, and generally having a good time on his Harley. Sam rides 76 miles to come to practice every Sunday morning, unless we have a show. Now that takes dedication. He is an excellent motor-man and safety-man, and the team is fortunate to have him as a member.

Mike Betschart, Motor-Man Mike got his start riding a Triumph in Switzerland while he was growing up. Now he does a fantastic job as Motor Man for the High Pyramid, Peacock, Totem Pole, and many more of the bigger stunts. We can always depend on Mike to hold the stunts together even when he has a sprained back, broken foot, or the engine poops out. Mike joined the team in 1988 and has been a tremendous asset to the team. There's always someone at every show yelling out "Norm", when he walks into a room. Does "Cheers" know about him?

Mighty Moe, Motorman Mighty Moe joined the team in 1999. He had seem the team perform at a couple of places and said to himself, "That's cool", and decided he had to try to join. He sent an E-mail and asked what he had to do to join. We sent a note back and said just bring your Harley to practice and we'll talk about it. That was all it took. He rode his 1951 Panhead to practice, soon after put a fresh black and white paint job on it and started practicing his slow circles and tight turns going about 5 to 7 mph. Now he can do a Floorboard Ride and a whole lot of other stunts.

Jake Elmore, Safety Jake joined the team in 2001. He is our youngest member at 17 years old, and the son of Mighty Moe. Jake has been going to practice since he was 14. While going, he learned ro ride by riding everyone else's bike. Then when he turned 16, he was old enough to join. Jake's job in the show is to be a safety man on several of the larger stunts such as the Bridge, the Push-Up Chariot, and the High Pyramid. Jake is still learning to ride, but before long he will be weaving in and out of the cones expertly, just like the rest of the team.

Sue Hutchings Member Sue first snapped the throttle on a panhead when she was 16 and never quite got over it. She was told "if you can start it, you can ride it". She figured out she could jump from the seat kick the starter, and soon was riding on the front. She's been in love with Harleys ever since. When she saw Maria perform with the team, she knew she wanted to join. She is our newest member and is "learning how to ride all over again". When not on her Harley, she can be found ballroom or country dancing.

Tylor Hicks, Climber Tylor originally joined the team in 1968 with a '62 FLH, then dropped out, joined again in 1979 with a new 1978 FLH and dropped out again in 1989. This last time, he started back up in 1997 with a 1988 FLHS. Tylor is a truck driver by trade, but evenings and weekends you'll find him either two steppin', riding motorcycles with his friends or practicing and performing with the Motor Corps. And you should see Tylor do the Spread Eagle. Now that takes a lot of strength. Then when he climbs up on the shoulders of the Motormen, there's a lot of courage involved. No doubt about it, Tylor is an excellent Motor Corps team member.

Bruce Chubbuck   Bruce has been a member of the team since the reorganization in 1978. He is the former owner of Chubbuck's Harley-Davidson in Pasadena, Calif. He closed his dealership at the end of 1983 and went to work for the Harley-Davidson Motor Co. Marketing / Communications April 1984 as the the West Coast Fleet Manager - setting up bikes and putting miles on new ones for the media and celebrities. What a life! Now he's retired, works part-time at Pasadena Masonic Lodge, assisting visitors, watching over the building, and answering the phone. Bruce leads our Color Guard unit carrying the American flag, riding his 1936 H-D 61 OHV Model, then does the 1/2 P38 stunt with Marty or Harry.

Scott Griffin Member Scott started riding motorcycles when he was about ten years old, back on the farm in Georgia. As he got bigger, the motorcycles got bigger, until here he is, our newest recruit. Scott first saw the Motor Corps in 1998 at the Love Ride. He's been thinking about it and looking for the right bike since then, until finally everything came together and he joined up. Scott is still learning, but we're sure he will become a valuable asset to the team.

Art Wales, Climber Art was a full member from 1984 - 1990. Now Art's full-time job is with the Riverside County Sheriff's Dept., but whenever he has some "off time", we talk him into doing some shows with us. Art can climb to the top of the pyramid, stretch out between two bikes doing the Spread Eagle, go upside down on the Ladder Ride and do just about anything else that's needed. He is definitely one our nation's "finest" and we're really proud that he will associate with the likes of us!

Frank Hicks, Safety Frank joined the team in 1980. He rides in the Color Guard Division but used to ride in the Drill. He can't always attend our practices and go on the road with us because, you see, he's now an ordained Catholic Priest and for some reason, he seems to always be busy on Sundays when we practice and do a lot of our shows! When he does participate, though, he is usually one of our Safety Men, making sure the top guys don't tumble down and making sure they have a good stable stunt built.

Josh Allen   Josh Allen is one of our newer members. Josh joined us at about 19 years old and right away we started putting him up on the Chariot Ride, upside down on the Bridge, climbing up on anything else we could think of, and finally talking him into going to the top of the Pyramid! He didn't know what he was getting into when he came to that first practice, but was willing to try anything and succeeded. Josh plans to go to Arizona to the Motorcycle Mechanics School next. That should be a great experience but hopefully he won't mind making the trip back every once in a while to do some of our shows. Josh is a terrific asset to our team.
