What happened to the summer, it just started a couple of weeks ago, or it seems like it anyway. The roads are still full of construction zones, so summer is still here but for how long? Time to do as much riding as possible before our “Theater of Seasons” drops the curtain on us! It seemed like every weekend this summer had a bunch of things going on. It seems like every weekend I had to choose what to skip and what to go to. Put that together with family obligations for domestic peace and goodwill I have to admit a rainy day was a relief now and then. I never thought I’d ever say that! I really have a problem in the summer, choosing when to work on a bike, go for a ride, mow the lawn, fix a few things around the house, or whatever. If the weather is good it seems a shame to waste it piddling around home, but some of the jobs and projects I have need good weather to do. I know most of us have the same problem, with the added complication of working for a living, it’s a tough balancing act. If anyone has any tips how to do it please let me know. If anyone didn’t make it to the spring show and swap meet, it was a big success. We had a great turnout of bikes, some real stand- outs. Ask Dave Moot about a high point bike next time you see him. We also had quite a few new people join both the national and the Viking chapter at the show. The swap meet keeps growing every year and we had to open more space north of the water tower this year for new vendors. The Banquet was a sellout for the first time, the weather cooperated, and we didn’t lose any money. Good job everyone! We had a very nice turnout of bikes at the Veterans home for the Ice Cream Social in spite of having to reschedule because of the weather. The original date would have been a scorcher! I was told the old guy’s were disappointed when we canceled the first date, so I know they look forward to our show. Thanks everyone for being there not only for the show but for the meeting. And that brings up another subject; Meetings, I really want to encourage all members to attend all of the monthly meetings they can. Yes a part of the meeting is club business and housekeeping to keep things running smooth, those things have to be done. I really think the meetings should also be a place to meet more people that share our passion for the old machines. Helping newer (and old- er) members with questions about their projects and sharing knowledge with each other is part of our mission. So come on out to a meeting I promise we don’t bite, well at least most of us don’t. I can’t close without saying farewell to John Eiden a long time member of the Viking Chapter who recently passed away at the age of 91. It was a privilege and honor to know him. Rest in Peace John you set a high standard for all of us. EDITOR’S NOTE By Tim Gadban Looking at summer in the rear view mirror …. there were some events we missed: Victoria Volkfest due to rain and the Bearded Lady Motorcycle Freakshow was cancelled this year. The Bring Out Yer Dead Rally and the Gearhead Get-Together were sparsley attended also due to weather conditions. The Ice Cream Social with our Veterans was postponed for a couple of weeks due to the oppressive heat and humidity. So our calendar got a little wonked up … maybe that’s all in keeping with this year’s presidential race! Anyway there was plenty of activity as you will see in this issue. I decided to include an article on the Van Buren sisters (see Page 23) because it is the remarkable story of two young women who crossed the country on Indian motorcyles in 1916. This of course is the centennial, which was celebrated with a women’s ride across the country along approximately the same route, under very different circumstances. The article is quite abridged so I hope it piques your interest enough to find out more details about Gussie and Addie and their adventures. This issue pays tribute to John Eiden, a much loved and respected Viking Chapter member who passed away recently. He really embodied the spirit of the antique motorcycle enthusiast and though he is physically gone I know his spirit lives on among the club members. !!New Blood!!! ! The AMCA Viking Chapter welcomes the following new !!MOTORCYCLE SWAP MEET!! members: Roy Kieffer Gary Jirovel SUNDAY, 18 SEPT.
