CHAIRMAN’S CHAT Ralph Pitchford The VMC committee managed to get together earlier this month to discuss the way forward and this turned out to be a very productive meeting. Lots of new ideas and suggestions were tabled so keep an eye out for some changes. My pleas for Kickstart editor finally materialized with Steven Helm and Stuart Thompson volunteering for the vacancy. We welcome them on to the committee and thank them for their time and services and look forward to working with them in the future. We had an informal ride from the clubhouse in memory of Mike Milner Smyth which was well attended and you can read all about it in this month’s magazine. Our two new editors are appealing to members to send in short stories and articles including some photos for the newsletter. Their details are at the back of this issue. Thanks to all who have already renewed the Club subscription and a reminder for those who still need to pay. Safe & fun riding LOCKDOWN EDITORIAL Steven Helm and Stuart Thompson. Greetings members we now have co-editors to share the task of keeping Kickstart interesting and to get the work done. Looking forward to making it fun! Doing some research this month on an article I did some tallying up and it’s quite interesting that Velocette now has 17 DJ wins, Sunbeam 8, AJS and BSA have 5 each, Ariel 4, Scott 3, Royal Enfield and Norton 2 each with Triumph and Harley Davidson 1 each! This is in regularity. While the original races Douglas had 5 wins, AJS and Sunbeam 2 apiece and 1 win each for Chater- Lea, OK Supreme, Bradbury, Rudge, Triumph, Harley Davidson, Norton, Royal Enfield, James, BSA and Excelsior. This can provide some interesting ideas about choice of bike and the importance currently of a strong group Marque interest to improve your results and success! Steve. 3 Hello All, As most know Ralph can be persuasive and hence my commitment to helping Steve with the monthly newsletter. I hope our efforts will prove satisfactory and entertaining. All input is welcome and indeed necessary in keeping “KICKSTART” alive and hopefully growing the newsletter and the club as a whole. My email address can be found on the club contact list so please get those contributions rolling! Stuart. YOUR CLUB WANTS YOU! SOME RHETORIC FROM STEVEN HELM Giving thought recently to the VMC, it’s committee and reasons for existence, it’s success and the future, I decided to pen some thoughts: Primarily the DJ run holds things together for the movement, the history attracts riders and thereby members. Why have other events not garnered support? Rallies, rides and shows are increasingly losing support: Rallies I believe its costs that are mostly to blame, the DJ I believe will also reach that point soon! Can we do something about these costs? Cheaper accommodation and safer roads are the obvious suggestions. Do we need to follow the old route since we neither start nor end in Johannesburg or Durban anymore? Busing members and bikes one way might become a road trip worth remembering if we plan ahead. The Century, Remembrance run and Poppy Day should attract riders but are not well supported and yet should be. Their purpose can also be to raise interest if held in busy areas amongst the public. The great train race and DGR have as novel runs attracted crowds, maybe the answer lies in continual innovation to attract interest. The staid repeat runs being tiresome to our current interest patterns! The 1000 bike show has lost momentum and now costs money apparently, perhaps the VMC should hold and publicize its own show in a better area/ venue to raise funds and members must support as a community service effort once a year! In fact, from a 2.5 million Rand healthy bank account a few years ago the CMC is now in an embarrassing situation similar to the ANC…. With rising costs to maintain our old bikes it may be wise to do tutorials at club meetings to raise the understanding amongst members on tasks we have found daunting. The shared experience on various marques would be invaluable If shared in this manner. Not discussions but actual 4 assemblies, technical demonstrations and even members bringing similar bike parts in for assessment! Requests can highlight the next month’s forum. The VMC is currently experiencing a healthy phase again and we should be encouraging that trend with a bit of innovation and fun. Members I think need each to contribute something and we can all benefit from the pleasure and enjoyment that will bring. If the VMC were offered custodianship of the DJ run, are we strong enough to manage and grow it? Ideas about a joint restoration and growth of a club bike collection that can be used to instruct new riders and for display have taken root. Perhaps a good investment of club funds but open for donation of bikes/ projects that perhaps are of interest/ rarity but not riding bikes. What can you do for your club this year? A) Committee involvement! B) Magazine articles or bike/ technical discussion! C) Organize a run/ display to highlight the club! D) Contribute to the Calendar or Club prizes! E) Suggestions/ Ideas at club meetings. F) Offer services on club restoration projects. All our lives will be much easier if we all did something to benefit the club we enjoy! Could we commit in writing to spur fellow club members on? ____________________________________________________________ A SUNDAY EVENT AT LAST! 12 JULY GATHERING IN MEMORY OF PAST CHAIRMAN MIKE MILNER SMYTHE. STEVE HELM REPORTS. 5 The Committee wanting to give everyone a bit of a get together, arranged a short coffee run on a winter morning with a bit of an anecdotal memorial discussion to get just a few more members out of their Covid caverns than only coffee might! On the 12th July I arrived early at VMC having left home the temperature showing 1 degree. It warmed up quickly and a few bikes in vans joined me but most rode in on their older bikes since a prize was on offer for the eldest! A few new faces and a stunning HRD turned up as well as Martin Davies stunning sidecar attached to his Sunbeam. Rudge, Velocette, BMW and plenty more in attendance. Ralph opened the informal get together and John Allison agreed to host the chat about Mike Milner-Smith assisted by Neville Smith and his naughtier side was the subject, which was great fun and a really good choice, smiles abounded! The prize on offer was handed out and was put to good use a little later! Mike served 13 years as the VMC chairman and editor and did his utmost to attend each and every rally as a rider or in support! He initiated the Kenya trip and did it for nine years in succession representing the VMC abroad! He was also involved in the Commemorative DJ run from 1970. He rode a BMW R60 in most rally’s and a touring Excelsior Manxman 350cc in the DJ. But he also had two Douglas motorcycles which were his favorite marque, one was a gooseneck project, unfortunately all of these bikes were shipped to the UK and sold on auction by his son. Any opportunity to show or promote vintage bikes had his full support, he was dedicated 6 completely to the VMC and everyone who met him will tell you he was a true gentleman and is missed! Before 10 am we headed off to Loof (fool: Scottish term) Coffee in Norwood found great parking and

  • We Always Aim to Supply Transfers of the Highest Quality in Mint Condition
    INTRODUCTION We hope you enjoy reading through our latest catalogue. We aim to provide restorers and historic vehicle enthusiasts with transfers and graphics to the highest attainable standard. Our background is mainly motor cycle orientated but over the years we have found that many motor cycle transfers were used on bicycles, and vice versa. If you are unable to find what you need always ask - we may be about to have the item printed. The majority of our stocks are the popular waterslide transfers but we also supply vinyl graphics where originally they were in that format. Low volume sellers are also supplied as vinyl graphics where a waterslide print run would be totally uneconomic. We use only best quality cast 10 year vinyl with a 'thinness' of 50 microns (2 thou inch). We are also able to offer white registration letters and numbers in four sizes, 1¾ inch and 2½ inch deep for motor cycles and 3 inch and 3½ inch for three wheelers and motor cars. See last page for further details. By far the majority of our artwork is produced by hand-drawing (as were the originals) and we resist the temptation to produce transfers using standard computer fonts, thus keeping the period look of the originals. We have tried to be as accurate as we can with the relevant location and year information in our listings, but your detailed knowledge of a particular model may well be greater than ours. LEGEND 4 Figure ref. nos. only - Waterslide Type 4 Figure ref. nos. suffixed by LC - Vinyl Graphics Best quality, 2 thou material V - Varnish Fix R.L.H.

  • Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography
    Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access). Elsewhere, the ODNB is available online in schools, colleges, universities, and other institutions worldwide.
