Andy Staton - President
Hi, my name is Andy Staton, and I am the group President of MCO Riders.
I have ridden Motorcycles all my life from the age of 15 and I have owned many makes and models down the years, but having now owned an Indian Motorcycle, my first being an anniversary Scout, for the last few years I can say I’m hooked! I now, along with my partner Karen (Membership Officer) own a beautiful Springfield Dark Horse.

Karen Thomas - Membership Officer
Hi, my name is Karen Thomas, and I am the Membership Officer for MCO Riders. This role is something I feel extremely passionate about!
I personally do not ride, I am a pillion, but I have always had a love of Motorcycles from an early age.
My big passion though started when my partner (Andy Staton, President)
and I brought our first Indian Motorcycle, Ruby our anniversary Scout.
My big love affair with Indian Motorcycles had begun! We now own a Springfield Dark Horse, and I can honestly say that once you have ridden
an Indian Motorcycle you too will fall in love!
Karen aka Miss MO
Paul Banister - Road Officer
A founding member of MCO riders where I had the role of Road Officer.
I got my first Roadmaster in 2018 followed by a Roadmaster Elite, thanks to Dave Browns persistence we managed to secure a Jack Daniels Challenger which is still my pride and joy.
I have planned and lead MCO riders across Europe to the Indian Riders Fest as well as around the UK. The toughest one so far was leading 26 riders from MCO and The Foundry across to the Ponderosa cafe and back.
I’m glad to be back after a short break taking up the Road Officer role again and look forward to meeting current and future members out on the open road.
Jo Banister - Group Secretary
A founding member of MCO riders with the role of Secretary at the time I was a pillion enjoying being Chauffeured about all over the UK and Europe.
Passed my bike test in March 2024 and now the proud owner and rider of a Scout Rogue ( Wilfred) I missed the role whilst taking a short break love being part of a group of like minded motorbike owners.
