Rd. B just East of Snelling near Target 2 SPARKY’S PLUG By Ron Spargo Here we are at Memorial Day and I’ve been riding as much as the job jar and the weather permit. I like riding in the cool weather but rain is something altogether different. I don’t mind being caught out in the rain because I always have my rain gear in the saddlebag but leaving for a ride in the rain is a bummer. Our warm up has been slow to come and just when you think it’s time to break out the lighter riding gear another cold spell hits. At least the cold snaps are getting warmer and shorter. With my luck as soon as the weather really gets ideal for riding we will be looking forward to fall. And then winter is right behind, again! As all of you know our big June National Meet just a couple of weeks away. June 12th and 13th for those of you who need a re- minder. I want to use this opportunity to ask each and every one of you to bring your bike to the meet. The last couple of years the number of bikes for display has fallen and we need every one of you to bring a bike or two. We are almost 200 members strong right now and I can’t believe we can’t have at least that many bikes for the display. Several of you will bring more than one bike (I will bring at least 4) so I can let some of you off the hook. But understand that if we see you at the meet we will expect that you have a bike or two on display. A note from your mechanic won’t cut you much slack! This is the “Big One” so let’s show the folks what we spend our spare time and money enjoying. Even if you may think that no one wants to see your bike consider that most of our bikes are riders and not 100 point show bikes. These are the bikes that new members need to see as an introduction to our hobby. So dust it off and bring it to the show. We will be able to start loading in bikes on Wednesday afternoon and will continue until at least 8pm Thursday evening. If you need help transporting your bike let me know at [email protected] or 952-443-2020 and we will try to help. The building will be locked after dark and security will be provided. You may have seen the e-talker reminder to reserve your tickets to the Friday evening (June 12) banquet. Don’t put this off as there are a limited number of tickets available. The food is great, the company is terrific and the conversation is all about our favorite sub- ject. We are also going to have an excellent guest speaker (no, it won’t be me!) Events like this don’t just happen. It takes a team of dedicated members to plan and organize this meet. That is the hard part. The easy part is for you to bring your bike and enjoy the show. Without you and your bike there simply won’t be much to look at. Don’t let that happen! I’m counting on you. EDITOR’S NOTE June is a big month for us … hosting our National Show. It is up to each member to rally to the flag for this event. Bring a bike and get the word out. Flyers are available and if there is only one event you get involved with every year this should be the one. Like Sparky says … “It’s up to YOU!!” And it doesn’t have to be a show queen … daily riders are welcome, barn finds are welcome …. hell if it’s got two wheels and some vintage patina that’s wel- come too! The riding season is well under way now and Ma Nature has been kind to us in the second half of May. Our Vintage Bike Spring Ride was well attended ….. a blistering ride through twisty Wisconsin backroads (see feature story on Page 8). The Ton-Up Spring Social was another gorgeous day with huge turnout and a great variety of machines (see feature story on Page 9). 3 CLUB NEWS IN MEMORIAM - MARILYN CRANE (1929 - 2015) Crane, Marilyn Jean age 86 of Edina, died unexpectedly on March 10, 2015. Beloved wife of and survived by husband John G. Crane, she was married for 57 years and leaves three children, Robert (Kim), Brooke and John (Theresa), two sisters, Eleanor and Dorothy Ann, many grand and great- grandchildren, nieces, nephews and grieving friends. A gracious, loving soul, Lynn was active in Junior Great Books, CCD, the Catholic League, League of Women Voters and spiritual book clubs. She enjoyed entertaining and cultivated many friendships. She is dearly loved and will be greatly missed. A private funeral Mass of the Resurrection was held on March 17th. A devout Catholic, Lynn would prefer any memorials to Catholic Charities. Heartfelt thoughts and prayers from the Viking Chapter go out to our generous friend and fellow member Jack Crane for his loss.

  • We Choose Our Top 10 Most Memorable TT Faces
    The TT’s most memorable faces Who do you think are the most memorable TT racers of all time? Here we pick our top 10, in alphabetical order. If you disagree, let us know your choices by emailing [email protected] Giacomo Agostini Agostini may well lay the claim to being the coolest motorcycle racer of all time. With a brilliant 10 wins on the TT course Ago, as he is known to generations of fans, also won 15 world titles. The famous Ago’s Leap at the bottom of Bray Hill is named after this Italian legend. Geoff Duke The 6 time TT winner and 6 time world champion is without question one of the all time greats. Like Joey Dunlop, Mike Hailwood, Ago, McGuinness and Dave Molyneux (see below), the highly popular Isle of Man-based two-wheeled hero has a spot on the course named after him. Joey Dunlop The quiet man from Ballymoney holds the all-time record for most number of wins at the TT – 26. His death at a race in Estonia in 2000 shocked the world but the family name is still synonymous with the dangerous and thrilling sport of road racing. Mike Hailwood Mike the Bike is not just a TT - but a worldwide legendary motorsport – icon. Winner of 14 TTs, he will be forever remembered for making the greatest comeback ever on the Mountain Course, winning a further 2 races after having been retired from TT racing for several years. Steve Hislop The Flying Haggis, as he was sometimes known, won a fantastic 11 TT races during a career which also saw him win British titles on short circuits.

Announcing an Amazing, Exciting, Thrilling, Magnificent and absolutely GENERAL, Annual General Meeting!!! Cabaret yet to be announced ( has anyone anything to contribute to the cabaret ?). Come in and support your committee, because it is about to change! (and you get sandwiches too!) Where? - Melton Constable at Seaton Sluice, as is traditional. When? - 23 rd March (Monday). Time: Meeting starts 8 p.m. prompt (that’s what we always say). There is change in the air: Dave Wardle fancies getting involved with the events side, so if anybody wants to do the secretary job let him know!! He’s having an adrenalin rush about ACTIVITY! ACTIVITY! ACTIVITY! (though Jim is happy still be contact-man for the Wooler camp – see later- so he’s not QUITE resigning, and judging by the welcome extended at Wooler last year, a good thing too.) Clive Taylor Mark 1 is resigning as treasurer after many years cooking the books. Simon Murray has volunteered to stand as treasurer (unless he changes his mind). (He’d better not!!) – anyone else, let Dave know. We have not quite arm-locked anyone into the secretary job, but some are being targeted. Unless someone else is standing for the job, it looks like your Tappity scribe will offer to keep churning out the bullshit as before (and publishing any bullshit other members would like to contribute). Bob Tym as chairman has not said anything about wanting to give up his throne, from which he presides in majesty over the AGM.
