Presidents report.

Mem bers, Last week Glen Hitch long serving member passed away. Glen is seen here with good friend Dean Govan (on his right) —RIP Glen.

At the print ing of this m agazine, 58 m em bers have not paid their 2017-2018 subscript ions which includes 15 m em ber with historic registered vehicles. Please assist us by paying your subscript ions ASAP please.

August 2 7 th—Oxenberry Tiddlers Ride from Oxenberry Wines, well pat ronized by m em bers with a interest ing tour of the VALES —see page 15.

In the July magazine there was a 1960’s club registration form on a 1904 Lewis Precision. Terry Parker provided the following com m ents—Thanks for the Sm oke Signal-often see nam es from the ear ly days. One

is Harold Rosenhain, and what follows is in no way crit ical of him – knew him well. The Lewis was said to be

1904, based I suppose on the com m ent that it was first registered in that year by W H Bowering of North

Adelaide. Regist rat ion started in SA in Septem ber 1906, the first Lewis registered, No. 8 being that of

W Torode, a well publicised enthusiast of the day. I went through the records to No.1000 and no Bowering

appears. Reg. records were not available in the 1950’s and many stories were perpetuated for want of data. Regards Terry Parker

Classic owners are asking that m em bers of VVMCCSA support their for thcom ing event by registering m otor-cycles for the run or stat ic Display. Ent r ies can be m ade at the following link— ht tp:/ / w w w .classicow ners.org/ classics- at - hart /

Brian Forth, President

To the Honourable Secretary 27 June 2017 The Veteran and Vintage Motorcycle Club of South Austra lia inc.

Mr. Bill Lorim er Dear Sir

I’m writing in regard to proposing an alteration to the club Constitution as per Item 16 of the current Const itut ion which is as follows: -

16. Alterat ions to the Const itut ion: Any m em ber wishing to propose any alterat ion or addit ion to the Const itut ion of the Club m ust give not ice in writ ing, signed by five financial full m em bers, at an Annual General Meet ing of the Club or an ext raordinary general m eet ing, stat ing the proposed alterat ion or addit ion. Not ice m ust be repeated at the next General Meet ing of the Club, and at the next General Meet ing subsequent to this, at which General Meet ing a vote shall be taken thereon to elect the proposed alterat ion or addit ion which shall upon being passed by a two thirds m ajority of all financial full m em bers present , becom e part of the Const itut ion of the Club.

Our proposal is to change the wording of I t em 3. Definit ions, Sect ion d) which current ly reads: -

“A post vintage m otorcycle is a m otorcycle em bodying a m ajor it y of com ponents m anufactured

after Decem ber 3 1 st , 1 9 3 0 , and pr ior to January 1 st , 1 9 6 6 . A post vintage m otorcycle is deem ed to

have a birthday on Decem ber 3 1 st of the year of it s m anufacture .”

The proposed alterat ion is to have I t em 3. Definit ions Sect ion d) read as follows: -

“A post vintage motorcycle is a motorcycle embodying a majority of components manufactured after Decem ber 3 1 st , 1 9 3 0 and prior to January 1 st of the year 30 years prior to the current year.”

Regards

Gary Jolly

Who are we?

March m agazine–Hi Brian, I t was a 2 day rally to Murray Bridge, Wellington & St rathalbyn on 5th & 6th Decem ber 1970, there were 26 ent r ies all pr ior to 1930, I rode our 1917 BSA but broke an exhaust valve and didn't finish. I have ident ified in the group photo, the bike riding out is Jeff Schaefer on his 1927 277cc W m odel Trium ph, the bike on the far end looks like it is the late Doug Bennet 's 1929 Norton, from the oth-er end first Harley C15 is Bob Jones 1924, next is Brian Caires C95 1922 Harley, the black out fit is Frank Jarvis 1927 Ariel C50, I think it is Stephen Jarvis ast r ide it with Frank behind. I n those days we often had St John officers t ravelling with us and i think the two on that occasion were Harold Steer, the bigger one, and Bernie Fresney. There were two 1929 Indian scout out fit s and I just cant pick the num ber so it was either Terry Ellingsen or Tom Caires next to the Ariel. I cant ident ify anybody else. The next photo looks like the tall fellow in background is Ray Mann and the group of three are Max Norm an, Tom Caire, hanky on head, and a St John officer whose nam e i don't know, the last photo group are Leslie Jones, Clem Evans handing som ething to Ron Truscot t with Wally Woollat t in background. best I can do. Cheers Dean

OXENBERRY W I NERY TI DDLER RUN—2 7 th August 2 0 1 7 , 1 0 .0 0 am . The Oxenberry Winery Tiddler Run will be held on Sunday 27th August 2017. Please gather at t he winery - parking cars and t railers in the block to the left of the winery carpark. Note, Oxenberry W inery is located on Kangarilla Road, McLaren Vale - NOT the Scarpantoni Winery at McLaren Flat ! Each year we wave to a few lost souls who ride past heading to the Scarpantoni prem ises.

From Oxenberry we will head out towards McLaren Flat turning left at Foggo Road to loop back to Twenty -Eight Road and through to Chapel Hill Road. This is probably the m ost scenic road in the area as it passes through vineyards on the left , then a Conservat ion Park. On our r ight is the Onkaparinga Gorge. We eventual-ly j oin back up with Kangarilla Road just outside the township of Kangar illa and then m ake our way via Dash-wood Gully Road to Meadows. Most people are fam iliar with Meadows - there is a good bakery and also two cafes - plenty of opt ions for coffee, cake or a pie. After a short stay in Meadows we will follow Greenhills Road to the outskirts of Macclesfield then loop back through Meadows and onto Brookm an Road for a short run through Kuitpo Forest . At the Kuitpo Rangers' Headquarters we will stop for a brief regroup to catch up with our Marshalls then head over the Willunga Hills via Peters Creek Road. We will return to McLaren Vale through Douglas Gully, Blewet t Springs and Moritz Roads. At Oxenberry a warm sausage sizzle cooked by Jim Mot t illo and crew will await us for just a few dollars. As usual I would great ly appreciate volunteer m arshals - part icularly as we need nine on one st retch of this rally. I f you are able to look after back-up t railer dut ies please contact m e or the Club Captain. Total rally distance is slight ly over 80 kilom et res. Look forward to seeing you there! Cheers,
