Vintage Motorcycle Club Newsletter Kickstart 2014 02 A monthly publication of The Vintage Motorcycle Club Johannesburg, South Africa. Volume 28. No 1. February 2014. CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE: I was thinking hard about where to begin this message as I have by circumstance found myself having to fill some very large riding boots! The huge mantle of Mike Milner-Smyth was very ably taken on by Andy and just when we thought we were settled with that more change is occurring. I thought I would start off my tenure in this role by just pointing out some of the issues which are with us and where I stand on those. We have very successfully survived the move from Morningside to the VVC and I believe that in the longer term this is absolutely the correct thing for the club. Once the building alterations are complete VMC will feel even more at home in the clubhouse and there will be opportunities and facilities that were not possible at Morningside. I am wearing two hats at the moment but want to assure you that all I do in the context of the VMC will be in the best interests of its members and I hope you will always feel free to engage with me should you ever feel that that there is an issue which in not in keeping with that philosophy. We have a competent and dedicated committee and I believe I can depend on their support in the months ahead. There is always a need for new blood in any organisation and my main message this time is for everyone to give some thought as to who could come onto the committee and bring fresh ideas and energy to it as that is so important in making clubs such as ours sustainable. Until next month safe and happy riding and lets enjoy the summer on our machines. Ian Holmes 1 End of year (2013) events The Sunday ride in memory to Cullinan took place on the 8th of December. What a great ride and so well attended – thank you Roly for putting it together. Meeting places were at the usual Founders Garage in Modderfontein, and then further up the road at Bapsfontein. It was great to see good numbers of bikes at each point, and then a mass ride to the Lemon Tree at Cullinan. The list of riders/pillions/drivers appears below: Andy Stead Moto Guzzi V7 VMC Ric Lewis Kawasaki VMC Neville Smith BMW VMC John Beaumont Kawasaki Steve Roper Honda Peter Vlietstra BMW VMC Ian Storer Ducati VMC Steve Trehair BMW VMC Tony Dodsworth Moto Guzzi VMC Peter de Klerk BMW VMC Ralph Pitchford AJS VMC Steve Helm Kawasaki VMC David Pitchford BSA VMC Kevin Walton BMW VMC Kevin Robertson Velo Thruxton VMC Andy Robertson Honda black bomber VMC Martin & Edna Davis Merc VMC Fritz Kraehmer BMW R69S VMC Rikki & Diana Maizey BMW R65 VMC Sean Buys BMW 1100 VMC Pierre Cronje Triumph ST VMC Henry Watermeyer BMW R65 VMC Allan Car VMC Roly Tilman Car VMC Avril (Bob Moore) Car VMC Guys I must emphasise that these rides are a great way to stretch the bike, meet your pals, have some fun and get out there. Let’s make sure that every ride in 2014 is as well attended. Despite the rain there was a good turnout for the October Club night and it was nice to see Gavin Walton looking much better and making good progress. The Chairman’s cocktail party on the 9th of December. A well-attended event by both members and their spouses/partners. Some great food thanks to the VVC ladies and more showing of the great JD video. An enjoyable evening was had by all. Again a vote of thanks to Roly who did the organisation 2 Odds and Ends: Mystery of the Traub Motorcycle Submitted by Gavin Walton: In 1967, a plumber doing renovations of an apartment building outside Chicago tore down a brick wall and found what would prove to be a baffling mystery to vintage motorcycle enthusiasts - a one-of-a-kind motorcycle bearing 1917 plates and the name "Traub". The buildings elderly owner admitted that his son had stolen the bike before going off to WWI, never to return. But where the bike came from and who made it remains unknown to this day. Currently residing in the Wheels through Time Museum in Maggie Valley, North Carolina, the Traub is considered by many to not only be the rarest motorcycle in their collection, but in the world. The Traub was sold to Torillo Tacchi, a bicycle shop owner in Chicago after its discovery who later sold it to Bud Ekins - famous as Steve McQueen's stuntman - while Ekins was on set of the Blues Brothers movie in the late 1970s. The Traub was later sold to collector and restorer, Richard Morris, who then sold it to Wheels Through Time Museum curator, Dale Walksler, in 1990. It has been on permanent display in the museum ever since. Don't think this unique motorcycle is merely a museum piece though. Walksler rides the Traub fairly regularly. When asked about the engine components, he enthusiastically replied, Everything inside the engine is just magnificent. The pistons are handmade, and have gap-less cast iron rings, the engineering and machining being simply years ahead of their time. 3 "When comparing other top motorcycle makes and models of the era, the Traub has no equal. Comprised of a sand-cast, hand-built, 80 cubic-inch "side valve" engine, the machine has the ability to reach speeds in excess of 85 mph with ease," says Walksler. Aside from its few off-the- shelf components, the Traub has many unique handmade features. The three-speed transmission is thought to be one of the first of its kind and the rear brake, a dual-acting system that employs a single cam that is responsible for pushing an internal set of shoes, while pulling an external set, has never been seen on any other American motorcycle. "For a machine to have such advanced features, unparalleled by other motorcycles of the same era, is truly outstanding," said Walksler. "It's my opinion that The Traub was an attempt at a new breed of motorcycle. But how on earth could a machine have been produced in such great form, with capabilities that far exceed that of any comparable machine, without the knowledge of the rest of the motorcycle industry during that time." The hunt for the Traub's elusive origin hasn't stopped. "While we may never know why the machine was placed behind that wall, we do hope to one day find out more about its history and the genius that created it," said Walksler. 4 To learn more about the Traub and the Wheels Through Time Museum's other 240 bikes, visit their site. 5 Assistance required The following email received via Jaws, the webmaster from Graham Watson: Hi John I trust this correspondence finds you well, I was wondering if you can assist me. I sold a very sentimental Matchless G80 500 single (Est. 1956) to one of your entrants in 2010. The guy contacted me in 2011 advising he would be doing the DJ that year …….unfortunately I lost his number and have been searching for him since. I would like to get hold of him ……….I know it is very vague but there are not many G80 Machines around , can perhaps help. Your assistance would be appreciated. If anyone can help Graham please email him on [email protected] Email received from Mick Skelly, Hello Andy, Greetings from the West Coast. Some years ago I was chatting to Eroll Herbert, and he said he was thinking about putting something together, and the history of motorcycle racing in SA .Do you know if anyone has continued with this task, since he passed away. I have always been interested in different engine designs and lay outs and it seems motorcycles have tried them all. The people behind these machines have always intrigued me. In the 70 there was a machine on the race tracks called a Konig. I looked it up on the Internet and got some background on the story, and was fascinated enough to order a DVD on the life of the New Zealander, Kim Newcombe. This may of course be common knowledge to everyone else but it was not to me. The DVD is called "love, speed and loss". The determination of this young man can only be admired. Then about a week ago I was out shopping for an outboard for a small sailing boat. After some discussions with Dudley, in Paarden Island, he inquired if I was anti 2 stroke. I informed him that the only reason I mowed the lawn on a Saturday, was to get a whiff of a two stroke. He then shared with me that he collected 2 stroke outboard motors, and added that he had, Yamahas Evenrudes Westbends, and Konigs. I stopped dead in my tracks. Konig -I had to see them. Dudley's eyes sparkled when he sensed my enthusiasm, and off we went to the store at the back of the shop, where his mechanical marvels were kept. There were 3 off there. Never thought I would see one of these motors again. After Dudley dragged me back into the shop, I assured him that if I ever was to buy an outboard, I would be buying it from him. Which brings me to the point of this letter. I the 70's there was a Konig that raced at Kyalami.

    BSA 1949 A7 500 CC 2 CYL OHV SOLD BSA 1949 A7 The BSA A7 was a British motorcycle manufactured by Birmingham Small Arms Company (BSA) at their factory in Armoury Road, Small Heath, Birmingham in 1946. The 495cc BSA A7 continued in production with minor modifications until 1961.The 495cc twin cylinder engine produced 26bhp and was capable of 85mph. A single camshaft behind the cylinders operated the valves via long pushrods passing through a tunnel in the cast iron block. This system needed a considerable number of studs and nuts to fasten down the cylinder head and V.O.F.

Most motorcycles of this period tensioned the primary chain by drawing or rotating the gearbox backwards on a hinge with threaded rods, this was known as pre-unit construction. The first A7 featured a fixed gearbox, bolted to the back of the crankcase, and an internal tensioner for the duplex primary chain. This gave it the appearance of unit construction and pioneered the system later used in unit-construction engines (eg BSA C12/C15, BSA B40, Triumph 3TA and on). However, in 1954 a re-design reverted to the older system. The electrics (as was universal for larger British motorcycles of the period) consisted of two independent systems, the very reliable and self-contained Lucas magneto, with a dynamo generator to charge the battery and provide lights.

    The New sle tte r of th e BS A Meetings, but not yet: MC 8pm, 1st Thursday of each month C N at SW Prospect Hotel, 3 Great Western Highway, Vol 40 #6 Nov-Dec 2020 Prospect 1 Jeez!!! First it’s relaxed then it’s on again. Lockdowns, ring-fencing, movement restrictions, it’s all a little confusing. The festive season ain’t very festive at the moment. Roll on the vaccine. Sorry fellers, no more Bayview or Pie in the Sky rides. This, apart from imbibing and eating some Xmas goodies, is the ideal time for …The Shed. Internet parts purchasing (taking months to arrive!), hours of fun wrestling with an unyielding rusted bolt, bits that don’t fit, what could be better? Club meetings have been postponed until the restrictions ease, but we still have email and WhatsApp. Membership renewals for next year went out late October, and many have already renewed. Remember, if you have conditional plates through the Club, you must be a financial Member and the 2020 membership finishes 31 December. There are still some members who haven’t renewed for 2020, but if you want to be reinstated for 2021, that’s fine. And my best Xmas present was from my son-in-law, who found this cast-iron plaque somewhere. It’s about 40cm long and is now mounted in the Ed Shed. And a Safe and Happy Xmas to all Members. 2 The Motorcycle Design, Art, Desire 28 Nov 2020 – 26 Apr 2021 GQueensland Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane Gallery 1.1 The Fairfax Gallery, Gallery 1.2, Gallery 1.3 Eric & Marion Taylor Gallery Ticketed Discover a whole new perspective of The Motorcycle.
