2010 Event Report 2010 Event Report The best ‘Mallory’ yet! The stars, the participants and the weather all combined to give the record crowds a weekend to remember. The VMCC Festival of 1000 Bikes is now an accepted and an essential fixture on the motorcyclist’s calendar. We now talk of “Mallory” or “1000 Bikes” and every motorcyclist knows what you mean. This opportunity for the owners of both road and track machines to experience riding on a genuine race circuit at their own pace and in the company of like-minded enthusiasts is so attractive that the event was over-subscribed yet again. But it’s more than that. It is now one of those occasions where you are likely to meet everyone you ever knew in your world of motorcycling. Where you see the famous in informal and accessible situations and where you make new acquaintances, see unique and/or rare machines, where you learn more about motorcycle history and technology and where you are able to savour the sights, the sounds and the aromas of machines of a bygone age. Whilst the key attractions are out on the track, the exponents of Vintage Grass-track and the more relaxed devotees of the “Pre-1965 Trials” put on demonstrations of their activities in the out- field areas and the VMCC Sprint section staged dramatic demonstrations of their skills to a vast and appreciative crowd on the track at Sunday Lunch time. Sunday afternoon saw the ‘Past Masters’ led by Freddie Spencer on his Honda RS500 and Carl Fogarty MBE on his Ducati 996 showing us the skills, the style and the panache that made them so successful. The wide variety of machines and their ability to move fast and furiously was a great delight to the many spectators who thronged the circuit on the Sunday afternoon, many of whom joined long queues in the race paddock to add new autographs to their collections. The weather stayed warm and dry for the whole of the weekend, which encouraged exploring the road and the race paddocks for interesting and unusual machines and for visiting the ‘Avenue of Clubs’ where it was possible to learn more about some of the (over 50) one-make club’s in attendance. Whilst everything seemed to run on well-oiled wheels, a big vote of thanks must go to all of those volunteer marshals who worked long and hard before, during and after the event to make sure that it did! No specific names, because the contributions of everyone involved all combined together to make the 2010 Festival a weekend to remember. VMCC CEO with Freddie Spencer before his parade session The VMCC Festival of 1000 Bikes gives 3 awards every year for best post war machine, best Pre war machine and best Club stand from within the massive 50 strong Ave of Clubs. The 2010 awards were as follows- The Classic Racer award for the best club stand was presented to Bryan Reynolds of the Rudge Enthusiasts Club. David Peters received the Old Bike Mart trophy for the best post-war machine for his 1979 Honda CBX1000Z The Classic Motorcycle trophy for the best pre-war machine went to Beverley Whale for her 1935 Excelsior Manxman. Want to know more? More fantastic images of the event are available on request from VMCC HQ. You can now enter for this event online using the 2011 Entry Form and Guidance Notes .. The “1000 bikes” weekend offers EVERY lover of old motorcycles the opportunity to participate at some level- and if not participating, there is something to appeal to the broadest range of “classic tastes”. That’s why the VMCC Festival of 1000 Bikes is supported by some of the biggest names in the old bike movement including Footman James Insurance Brokers, Bonhams Auctioneers, Mortons Motorcycle Media, the National Motorcycle Museum, Norton Motorcycles UK as well as Eriks UK.

ACU Permit No. CT/13745 The Taverners have been putting on Vintage Trials in the Leicestershire area for many years from the time when Vintage (as in Pre 1930 machines including “flat tankers”) were used. More “modern” machines became eligible as the VMCC’s 25 year eligibility rule moved on with a colonial class for (virtually) Road Machines which ran for a time alongside the Trials Bikes on a modified course. When the 25 year rule reached 1957 it was decided to keep this as a cut-off date for eligibility, with machines up to 1965 invited as “guests”. We aim to try to encourage the continued use of the girder/rigid and tele/rigid with lesser entry fees and courses not so demanding as most Trials. We run a winter series October to April of 7 Trials at various venues around Leicestershire many on old disused railway sites. These courses feature not many rocks or too many death defying sections with the aim of encouraging older machines to be brought along. We have entries from riders past three score years and ten, alongside youngsters from 10 years upward. It’s often a family affair with many Fathers, Sons & Granddads taking part plus our very good young lady rider. Machinery taking part is very varied from 600cc Levis to all sorts of smelly Two Strokes, (hopefully they will graduate to a nice four stroke), with AJ’S, Bullets, Beezers, Fanny Barnetts, Trophy’s, James’, Ariels etc. In June every year we also run a non-competitive trial for any age of machine to encourage anybody to “come and have a go”. Make sure you come and see us making the best use of our “mud pluggers” on the Saturday of the Festival weekend in the wooded area adjacent to “Gerards” Bend.

    \\jciprod01\productn\N\NYU\86-6\NYU607.txt unknown Seq: 1 28-NOV-11 15:06 THE LAW OF DEMOCRACY AND THE TWO LUTHER V. BORDENS: A COUNTERHISTORY ARI J. SAVITZKY* How, and how much, does the Constitution protect against political entrenchment? Judicial ineptitude in dealing with this question—on display in the modern Court’s treatment of partisan gerrymandering—has its roots in Luther v. Borden. One hun- dred and sixty years after the Luther Court refused jurisdiction over competing Rhode Island state constitutions, judicial regulation of American structural democ- racy has become commonplace. Yet getting here—by going around Luther—has deeply shaped the current Court’s doctrinal posture and left the Court in profound disagreement about its role in addressing substantive questions of democratic fair- ness. While contemporary scholars have demonstrated enormous concern for the problem of the judicial role in policing political entrenchment, Luther’s central role in shaping this modern problem has not been fully acknowledged. In particular, Justice Woodbury’s concurrence in Luther, which rooted its view of the political question doctrine in democratic theory, has been completely ignored. This Note tells Luther’s story with an eye to the road not taken. INTRODUCTION The year 2012 promises a new round of legislative redistricting and gerrymandering,1 a new round of money entering our electoral system from undisclosed sources,2 and a new round of hyperpartisan * Copyright 2011 by Ari J.

  • Colin Seeley Colin Began His Career As an Apprentice with Harcourt
    Speaker: Colin Seeley Colin began his career as an apprentice with Harcourt Motorcycles. By 1954 and aged just 18, Colin had branched out on his own and secured premises in Belvedere, Kent, which laid the foundations for his successful dealership and workshop. During that same year, Colin also entered his first race at Brands Hatch, riding a borrowed 500cc BSA Star Twin. 1960 saw Colin and his friend acquire a sidecar outfit based on a Manx Norton which they raced for the first time that year at Snetterton. Just one year later in 1961, Colin entered his first Grand Prix event, the Isle of Man TT this time using a Matchless G50 modified and fitted with a Canterbury racing sidecar and achieved 6th place. Colin raced in numerous competitions between 1961 and 1967 including the British and world championship sidecar competitions. Using his own design of machines achieved a first place in the 1964 Dutch TT and 2nd in the Isle of Man TT sidecar competition not to mention coming close to winning the world championships. Through the mid to late 60’s Colin concentrated more and more on the design and construction of Seeley framed racing motorcycles. By the late 60’s and into the early 70s (by which time nearly all the major motorcycle manufacturers had pulled out of Grand Prix racing) the Seeley designed frame became the first choice for the privateer racers of that era. In 1969 the Mark 3 version of the Seeley racing frame was adapted to house the Norton Commando 750 motor and by that time Colin’s designs had become so successful in competition that he deservedly earned a reputation as one of the best motorcycle frame designers in the industry.
