Current Officer’s Bios 2026

Julie Hoskins
Director [[email protected]]

I’ve been riding since I was a kid. First with my father, he taught me to ride dirt bikes, later 4wheelers, snowmobiles. As I got older rode on back of friends’ bikes, also drove a boyfriend’s Harley Low Rider. I was hooked even more thus became a National HOG Lifetime Member in 1995. Then finally in 2000, I got my first bike a Honda Rebel, looked like a mini-low rider. In 2005, moved to TX but no motorcycle again while there, did ride a friend’s a few times. In 2018, moved back home to PA, still no bike. With my hip replacement surgery in 2022 I thought I’d never ride again. But after seeing some trikes in a mass group my epiphany hit, maybe I could still enjoy a lifelong love. Once all the projects on my house were complete my “project fund” became my “fun fund” and my dream bike was purchased a 2023 Harley Road Glide 3 Trike.

I joined LVHOG and been able to enjoy my passion along with gaining fabulous new friends. I look forward to many more adventures both on and off the bikes. Life is too short not to live, laugh, and love!

My riding started with mini bikes and dirt bike when I was growing up. Got my first Harley in 2014, a street Glide. I’m currently riding a 2021 Ultra Limited. Married to my passenger Gail since 1976 and have two daughters and two grandchildren. Like to hike and E-bike and being outdoors, mountains or beach when not riding. Love long rides, trips and riding with my HOG friends.


Bob Luhman

I started riding when I was 16 years old and thru the years had various Honda’s, Dirt bikes and an ATV. I took over 20 years off and then purchased my first Harley. At that time I took the Pennsylvania Riders Safety courses to re-acclimate myself to riding and riding safely. I joined the LV HOG’s in 2012 and shortly thereafter served as the clubs Activity officer for 3 years and 2 years as Head Road Captain and 3 years as Director/Treasurer. I am looking forward to continuing as Treasurer. I am married with one daughter and 3 fantastic grandkids. I am currently employed as the director of Sales and Service for a small company and previously spent 30+ years in International Marketing.

Secretary [[email protected]]
Membership [[email protected]]

I started riding at a young age, mini-bikes, dirt bikes, and many street bikes. Then I got my first Harley in 1985 a 1971 sportster 900 project bike. It came with just frame and engine. I found a service manual and by late 1987 I was riding it. In 2001 I had a son, Michael Jr. At that time, I was working full time for Kline’s Auto and was helping a local farmer, and that took up most of my time. Then was divorced and moved back into Whitehall. In 2012 I bought a 2003 Road King, and that is when I joined National HOG. Then in 2016 I bought my current bike a 2016 Road Glide Ultra and joined LV HOG chapter. Also in 2016 I got remarried to my Wife and passenger Maryanne. We have 3 grandchildren, Riley, Quinn and Owen. I enjoy being a member of LV HOG where I made many friends and rode many miles with. And now I look forward to many more on this adventure.

Soon after that I joined the Lehigh Valley HOG Chapter. Since joining LV HOG I’ve held several officer positions including Director, Assistant Director, and Membership Officer. I am now looking forward to serving the chapter in my new role as Head Road Captain

Paulette Helman
Ladies of Harley [[email protected]]

I started riding in 2017 after my youngest son Paul went to college. In 1993, I married my husband Ron Helman. Before my oldest son Ronnie was born, my husband and I enjoyed our ATVs and Ron’s various types of bikes. Once the kids were born, we decided it was best to sell the toys and switch to something more practical like a mini van and a topless Jeep. Ron started riding again when he bought his road king in 2016 and it reignited my spark to ride. I started out with a Yamaha 650. Six months later, I found the new love of my life in my 2016 Heritage that just so happened to match Ron’s. We joined the LV Hog chapter in 2021 and have made some amazing friends and really enjoyed riding with the LV Hogs. I am excited to continue this next chapter as being the Ladies of Harley Officer. I truly know we have a great year ahead of us!

I’m a Critical Care Nurse at LVHM and have worked for the network since 2000. We have 3 amazing sons, Ronnie, Ben and Paul who all serve the United States Air Force.

Pat Schuler
Activities [[email protected]]

In 2013 I joined LVHOG, since then most of my time has been as an officer. In 2021 my husband and I were in a terrible motorcycle accident. Our HOG group has been an extension of our family. Life friends!

As activities officer, I want to concentrate on getting our group together for fun things in and around the area, not so much on the bikes – we have other officers for that. I’m looking forward to your suggestions.

I wanted to ride my own Harley since I was a young girl. When my brother turned 16, he immediately purchased an HD Sportster. He never drove before and took off with a shot down the alley and “almost” ran into a tree. I looked at my father and said, “I want one of those.” And, so, I did. After my two sons were grown, I started out with a Honda Rebel; then an 883, and later, two 1200 Sportsters. I can’t even count the many Harleys we have had over the years. Now I ride on our trike with my husband, Buell, and on September 24, 2026, we shall celebrate our 60th wedding anniversary. That’s a lot of riding!

I started with the Lehigh Valley Chapter in 1992. I was Secretary from 2016 through 2020 and my love for motorcycles never ceased. I am lucky my husband feels the same way. Together, we have made many lasting friendships throughout our 35-some years in the chapter.
