Thanks to Rick Schunk for the use of the background photo used on this page. http:www.vikingmc.org RE-CYCLE MARCH 2007 MOOT’S POINT by Dave Moot ello again to everyone and let me start by saying that due to some lost data issues of mine,some general procrastination As a Club, we Hand a multitude of manufactured excuses, you may be like to consider receiving this newsletter a bit late and it will be sort of my fault ( the buck slows down here), and if by chance you get the newsletter on ourselves a time it can be credited to our crack newsletter teams’ last minute group of people efforts. that fit together really well. One of the advantages of writing the Moot’s Point column past the deadline is that I can bring you up to date on the very latest club news. Did you make it to the 2007 Cycle World Show? We had a handsome and well-staffed display and handed out a bunch of the very colorful “Recycle the 60s” flyers…(applaud now). I thought the attendance was down a bit this year and that might have had a lot to do with the sub zero, double digit wind chills…or is it double digit sub zero…well it was dang cold out! A tip of the hat to those who displayed a bike and the volunteers who worked the show. Now a couple of late breaking news flashes…We did get the Wall of Death stunt show booked for the 2007 National meet at the State Fairgrounds and we secured one major sponsor to date that will help us pay for this major attraction. MidAmerica Auctions will be donating some substantial funds to help us put on the best National Meet in Viking club history. I am certain you are aware of MidAmerica’s involvment with antique and vintage motorcycle sales with their huge auctions in Las Vegas and the local auction they have every April at Aldrich Arena. In my humble opinion they are a perfect fit with the Antique Motorcycle Club and I want to personally thank Ron Christianson for his company’s support.In my own efforts (decorating committee) to prepare for our 60s bash in June, I have been buying and collecting a lot of 60s memorabilia, music, movies and photos. It has me thinking a lot about the 60s as a decade and I must say it stirs some of my fondest memories. If we could look into the future we might see travel agencies offering time travel packages to various time periods and I bet the 60s would be one of their best sellers. Can you imagine the travel posters? Woodstock, Montery Jazz Festival, civil rights marches? If I live long enough for such a thing I would like to go back and see the rock group Cream perform live at the Filmore and then beam over to see Evil jump the fountain at Ceasar’s Palace. The best we can do to go back in time in 07 is to have our own 60s celebration and try to relive a period when life was more simple. I have a theory that one of the main reasons we found motorcycling so entertaining in the 60s is because indoor activities were limited and often too boring. Remember when listening to AM radio and watching four or five black and white TV stations were about all one could do indoors? “MidAmerica I vividly recall that many of the kids and teens in the neighborhood were seen doing things outdoors in all seasons. Auctions will be I personally ran my homemade brakeless and unlicensed mini-bike all year long when I was a teen, that is, until one night I ran smack dab into the steel grill of a left turning Olds station wagon donating some at an intersection. I forgot to mention that the minibike was without lights too. substantial funds Well enough reminiscing about the past (for now). A few weeks ago I asked our newly elected board members to write down (for the newsletter) to help us put on some ideas about their vision and future goals for the Viking Chapter. the best National Here is what they said… Meet in Viking Craig Kotval, secretary: “I do hope we can keep the garage get-togethers going and use the web site to have impromptu rides and coffee meetings during the week.

  • L'épopée Fantastique
    L’épopée fantastique 1820-1920, cycles et motos 8 avril - 25 juillet 2016 Musée national de la Voiture du Palais de Compiègne www.musees-palaisdecompiegne.fr Suriray, Vélocipède de course, 1869. ©RMNGP/Tony Querrec La collection de cycles du musée national de la Voiture compte, pour les années 1818-1920, parmi les plus remarquables d’Europe. Une importante acquisition réalisée en 2015 a permis de notablement l’enrichir et se trouve présentée au public à cette occasion. L’exposition L’Epopée fantastique est organisée autour de différentes thématiques comme les innovations techniques, la recherche de vitesse, les loisirs, les courses, les clubs et la pratique cycliste, ainsi que les impacts sociaux liés au développement des deux-roues entre 1820 et 1920. Des emprunts à d’autres musées français comme le musée Auto Moto de Chatellerault et le musée d’Art et d’Industrie de Saint Etienne, ainsi qu’à des collections privées viennent compléter cette première sélection. C’est à l’occasion du 125e anniversaire de la course Paris-Roubaix, dont le départ a lieu à Compiègne depuis presque quarante ans, que l’exposition sera ouverte au public. On pourra y découvrir les origines du cycle et de la moto et l’extraordinaire émulation qui animait les fabricants, les coureurs, les cyclistes et motards de ces années d’expérimentations et d’exploration qui sont synonymes de nouvelles sensations. L’exposition s’articule autour de quatre axes principaux : 1. Les années 1820-1860 : de la draisienne au vélocipède. Né de la draisienne, inventée par le baron allemand Karl Drais, le vélocipède est issu de la mise en place d’un pédalier sur la roue avant, innovation attribuée au français Pierre Michaux en 1861.

    CONVERTING ABANDONED RAILWAYS TO ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION ROUTES: CREATING A FRAMEWORK FOR THE CITY OF WINNIPEG, MANITOBA Submitted by Michael R. Erlanger A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF CITY PLANNING Department of City Planning University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba Copyright © 2019 by Michael R. Erlanger Page i ABSTRACT The proposed research explored the conversion of existing abandoned railway corridors to Active Transportation (AT) routes. This project was inspired by the work of the “Rails to Trails” movement in North America (Ackelson, 1996). A maximum of three precedents (two international and one domestic) were studied. Each of the example projects were in cities that have characteristics similar to Winnipeg, Manitoba. These characteristics included size, climate, density, growth and topography. The research aimed to help create a potential framework for the cycling and pedestrian community in Winnipeg. This framework led to improved transportation solutions throughout the city, thus enabling citizens to experience the efficiency, health benefits, and added economic benefits, as well as a greater sense of neighbourhood appreciation – all while using the renewable resource of the abandoned railway. The majority of the research proposed for this project was drawn from precedents beyond Manitoba. However, the information gathered provided lessons learned for the conversion of abandoned railway corridors to AT routes in Winnipeg itself. Winnipeg could benefit greatly from understanding how other cities have capitalized on these under-utilized resources and taken advantage of existing transportation networks. The precedent research focused on cyclists and pedestrians, who were commuting to and from work, as well as recreational users.

    My thanks to those who have taught me, have shared their secrets, have helped me and have trusted me (they know who they are). On your own you can do nothing, the future will prove it. (There are probably some anachronisms or inaccuracies in the chronological order, certain facts are sometimes old, but even not in the right order the story stays the realty.) PGO Special thanks to Dominique and Jean-Paul for re-reading the original article and the update of memories, also to James for translation . The car in 1973 in the parking lot of my house 1 60 years of passion, Mechanics, and how to go from a Citroen C4 to a TRIUMPH TR5 PI with a big M for Mechanics THE PRESAGES. I used to see my Grandfather conscientiously turning the starter handle on his Citroen C4 to free up the engine before starting it, after having checked all the fluid levels. My active participation in this activity was to pass him the rags. Different times would you say ? (well yes, the C4 not that of today, that of 1932 with the thermometer on the radiator and a 'floating' engine) Appreciate the only two graduations of thermometer: Summer temperature and Winter temperature. Some years later, wandering around the mechanics who succeeded one another under the bonnet of his Renault 4CV, which lacked power (what a euphemism) and having thought about it for a long time (!) I decided to get involved. « You need to look at the air filter » Everybody burst out laughing, teasing sniggers by the mechanics.

    RÉTROMOBILE TRADESHOW PRESS RELEASE DECEMBER 2016 RÉTROMOBILE INTRODUCES A UNIQUE EXHIBITION «THE FRENCH MOTORCYCLES» From the 1871 Perreaux to the 2017 Midual, motorcycles at 100% french will be introduced for the first time at Rétromobile for the 42nd edition of this event. A great opportunity for both the curious and engine enthusiasts to throwback within the outstanding history of the motorcycle trough a beautiful retrospective. THE MOTORCYCLE : A FRENCH PASSION Motorcycles were invented in France and the machines we built dominated the world right at the start of the 20th century. The very first steam- powered velocipedes to be sold were built and patented in 1871 by Louis Guillaume Perreaux. Then very soon after, motorcycles were all the rage. In 1898, the Werner Brothers were credited with the first use of the word Perreaux motorcycle of 1871 «Motocyclette” – the name they used for their first model. © Collection musée du Domaine Terrot, Peugeot or Gnome & Rhône départemental de Sceaux - photo From major manufacturers such as Olivier Ravoire to France’s early craftsman, nearly 1000 brands have seen the light of day; Rétromobile will be bringing together some of the finest truly French inventions at this year’s show.
