A Monthly Publication of the Vintage Motorcycle Club Johannesburg, South Africa A monthly publication of The Vintage Motorcycle Club Johannesburg, South Africa. Volume 29. No 5. May 2015. CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE: Our Century Run was held in the Cradle of Humankind on a cool autumn morning of 19th April. Rob Pattison-Emms almost finished his fingernails worrying about weather and eventual turnout. There was no need as the official record of entrants reached 28. This was a result of Jef Frost and Roy Moult travelling all the way from Klerksdorp to join the fun. Well done Rob for another successful Century Run, we look forward to next year at the Neck & Deck Restaurant. The food quality, and volume, confirmed Neck & Deck as the venue for the upcoming VMC Winter rally on 19 July so get your leathers pressed and helmets polished for an event of about 120kms in the tranquil and safe “Cradle”. Roly Tilman is in touch with Peter de Klerk, who is not doing very well at the moment. Please guys, any visits would be greatly appreciated, although we suggest you contact Roly (details on the last page of the newsletter) for appropriate times as Peter has a hectic Dialysis schedule. I know you’ve all made a note to help man the VMC stand at the 1000 Bike show in July. Please don’t forget to be there. Les Sim is awaiting sponsorship responses for the 2016 VMC Calendar. R2300-00 guarantees your company name in the publication. Contact Les (details on the last page of the newsletter) as soon as possible. Administration and payments need to be completed by May 2015 for the exercise to work out in time. Now with all that paperwork completed, get your f@c&!n9 arses out of your chairs, into the saddles and ride before the weather closes in. We need to see more of you at our events so when they are planned please support them. Safe riding Pierre. 1 CLUB NIGHT 24th March 2015 compiled by Ken Wiggins The evening was short, starting with apologies from Peter Flietstra, Peter Posniak, Ian Holmes and Erhard Langanke. We had a number of visitors; both local and international. Roger Arnold from West Winchester in the UK who reeled off a list of the bikes he had been involved in; starting with a Victoria moped he got when he was an “Appy” to a Yamaha YDS3 in 1972 with a Vellocette GTP, Vincent Rapide, Rudge Special thrown in for good measure. Also introducing themselves were: Bob Johnson – Starting restoration of a BSA Sloper , Bernard Taylor - previously rode a Vello and BSA but now has settled with BMW and Goldwing. Willem Koekemoer – 1929 Hudson, 1935 Plymoth and MGTD. Looking for a DJ bike. Pierre then spoke of the successful 102nd DJ Run. Kevin Robertson achieved his 7th overall win and Kevin, Martin Davis and Mike Ward finishing 1, 2 and 3 as well as bringing home the club prize. Motorcyclist of the month went to Ian Holmes for his outstanding organisation of the 2015 event. Note: It was pointed out to the editor after the meeting that Tarryn Rice, who was awarded the Valvoline Trophy for Best Performance in in Class B (1931 to 1936 251cc - 350cc machines) and the Tulio Bernardi Trophy for the Lowest Score on Day 2, was the first Lady Rider home on day 2. She was ultimately pipped into 11th place overall by Dorian Radue with just 3 less penalties. Tarryn’s low score on Day 2 makes her the only lady rider to ever achieve this; beating some of the most experience competitors. Congratulations Tarryn. Roly Tilman mentioned that he had visited Peter de Klerk, after his dialysis treatment. Peter is not really doing well as his enlarged heart is also affecting his condition. If anyone has an opportunity to visit Peter, it will be greatly appreciated. Grant Wiggins then gave a talk on his “vintage bike” although he had some difficulty with the mandatory “starting the motor”. He presented his steed (bearing in mind he is not eligible for even a 125cc motorcycle licence yet), an early 1970s Viner Special Professional Racing bicycle. He’d obtained the bike from his uncle who used to compete in Iron Man triathlons, Cape Argus and other major cycle races throughout the country. He also mentioned his membership of Cycling South Africa and the Europcar Academy Team. The “body of the kerk” then broke for refreshments and the meeting ended with reminders of all the coming events. Please check the VMC Quick Calendar to ensure you don’t miss anything. There were 42 members and visitors present. 2 Past Events VMC Century Run, 19 April On a cool and overcast Sunday morning, I do believe Rob Pattison-Emms was a very worried man indeed. After all, he had again planned the Century Run and was hoping for a record turn- out. According to the plan, motorcyclist would gather at the Neck & Deck Restaurant from 08:30 and after coffee, would start leaving for one of the three planned route options. Well, as it turned out, by about 10 o’clock everyone was still hanging around – yapping and yawping to their heart’s content. It seemed that there was a new past-time on the club member’s agenda – and that was socialising. Entrants start to gather in the Rhino and Lion Nature Ian, Guido, Pierre and Trevor discussing “weather” Reserve parking area or is it “whether”? By approximately 10:15 it appeared as though conditions had brought some souls to their sense and the sound of a few motorcycles firing up filled the air. This was obviously the “clarion call” because within about 10 minutes everyone was on their way on their chosen route. Martin, Roly and Ian discussing strategy for the Robbert Currie had firmly attached his “route arduous journey that lies ahead schedule” to the AJ’s tank. He was ready for almost anything The weather may not have been brilliant at the start of the morning, but Rob’s worries were unfounded. The skies cleared and a cool, pleasant ride was enjoyed by all that were lucky enough to be involved. After a few hours riding, everyone returned to the Neck and Deck Restaurant to enjoy a well-deserved meal. You can’t rush here, as it is definitely not “fast food”. Quantities were most certainly made for hungry riders 3 Chantal getting her picture taken for a change Jef Frost on his 1917 Triumph Model H Erhard Langanke, one of the 6 sidecar combinations Did this old VMC badge help the guy reach 100? Chantal Madgwick, Ashley Kemp and Steven Helm were on hand to record events of the day. For those who have access to the “modern delights of social media” please go to the VMC Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/groups/805193339542496/ to see more photos. Tranquil surroundings with plenty of space to park The hamburgers are made for patrons who haven’t bikes, cars and trailers eaten for days A big thank you to the organisers. This event, even though not competitive and run against the clock, showed what can be done at very little / no cost. Perhaps VMC can benefit from a few more informal, local events through the year 4 Our chairman. Pist ‘n broke, as usual? Rob Pattison-Emms with his Matchless.

I have started 3 DJ's now and sadly only finished one. This year, it is still freshly bitter in my mind, was the best I had prepared for yet. In fact, I had ridden the Deek all year round and even finished the Natal classic. This event was not without some minor incidents, however. On day 1 of the Classic I was forced to add motor oil at a fuel stop, as the Garage did not stock 2stroke oil. The result on day 2 was me leaving a long plume of white smoke behind me for the first 30 odd kilometers, as the oil had not fully mixed and sank to bottom of the tank overnight.

  • Vintage Motorcycle Club Newsletter Kickstart 2013 04
    1 A monthly publication of The Vintage Motorcycle Club Johannesburg, South Africa. Volume 27. No 4 April 2013. CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE Suddenly it’s all over. All the hard work and preparation. All the organising, worrying and planning and for some all the late nights and dirty fingernails. All over for yet another year. The JD 2013, the centenary year is now history and yet what a run it was. Will there ever be another like it? – Probably not. A true vote of thanks must go to Pierre and everyone else involved in the organising and running of an event of this magnitude. That it took place with minimal issues, no serious injuries and a successful outcome is testament to the skills, dedication and hard work of the organising team and a huge thank you must go to each and every one of you. To those of you who did not finish – don’t be disheartened – remember you did participate and those memories will not fade. To those who did finish – and in particular those who were placed in the various categories – hearty congratulations. To Kevin Robertson the outright winner – and now a six times winner – a much deserved accolade. Kevin is not only the winner, but a true motorcyclist, gentleman and enthusiast who has put so much into this strange but wonderful pursuit of ours. Gavin Walton is on the mend and Ian Hesketh is in Olivedale clinic undergoing radiation treatment. We wish them well. Yours in safe riding Andy Stead 2 March club night. By Ian Holmes A lovely warm summer’s evening saw us gathering at the Morningside Club as usual and a very interesting evening lay ahead.

    NEW ZEALAND’S FOREMOST HISTORICAL MOTORING MAGAZINE No. 309 April/May 2011 $6.95 2011 NAtional motorcycle rAlly Behind the Wheel of an Audi quAttro A2 9 418979 000012 Club news from around New Zealand Photographs and information supplied by Mark Gibson, Horowhenua Branch. This 1927 Buick was owned by William Charles Barnes of Argyle Street Dunedin. He owned the company W C Barnes & Co which traded as the Mazon Shirt Factory in Great King Street, Dunedin. This photograph is thought to have been taken in the Taieri Mouth area approximately 1928. The picture is taken by Barnes and shows from left, his wife Emily, Charlotte Covic (nee Partridge), Ray and Harold Barnes.
