SPARKY’S PLUG
EDITOR’S NOTE
As autumn approaches we can look in our rear view mirrors and
see all that summer fun (and not-so fun) disappearing down the
road
into our collective memories. Seems to have been a lot of wet
riding … I now keep rain gear in the bags at all times.
In June my wife and I visited the UK to spend time with
relatives and see some sights. We visited Warwick Castle,
Nottingham Cas-
tle, Canterbury Cathedral, Canterbury Castle and Sissinghurst
Castle. While in the vicinity of the Birmingham area I managed to
pay
a visit to the British National Motorcycle Museum at Solihull.
Talk about a kid in a candy store … it was totally awesome. On
Pages
14-17 are some photos of the many unique (all British) machines
there.
I would like to remind our members that there is a FREE
Wanted/For Sale space in this newsletter to advertise bikes,
machines,
tools, etc. so by all means take advantage of this by emailing
details to me. It helps to send a picture of anything you want to
sell.
Once again many thanks to all the folks who helped out for this
issue of Re-Cycle with photos and info! Note: The extra pages in
the electronic version contain more photos from club events and
also feature other events such as Blind
Lizard, Bearded Lady and Victoria Volkfest.
It seems just a short time since I was complaining about the
cold weather and wishing for warm dry riding. And now the hot
summer
weather is mostly behind us and we are into my favorite riding
season. Nothing can top a cool morning ride with a stop for a cup
of
coffee somewhere. Even my old bikes like it as they seem to run
better as the weather cools down. The Viking Chapter has some
great events scheduled this fall and I encourage you to try to
attend as many as you can. All too soon we’ll, once again, be
complain-
ing about the weather and looking forward to spring.
One of my favorite winter events is the International Motorcycle
Show at the Minneapolis Convention Center. The 2015 show is
scheduled for February 6th, 7th, and 8th. I would like to have
bikes in the show that have not been displayed before or bikes that
have
not been shown for a while. So, button up your latest
restoration project or new addition to your collection and plan on
bringing it to
the show. I’ll be contacting you as the date gets closer so be
ready.
I also encourage you to attend the next general meeting at Fury
Motorcycles. This is the meeting where we elect officers to fill
va-
cancies left by officers whose term has ended. The open
positions are Vice President, Secretary, and (2) Board of Director
positions.
If you have ever thought it would be fun and interesting to help
guide the club here is your opportunity to do so. It’s not too late
for
you to get on the ballot. It’s fun and interesting and a great
way to contribute your talents, ideas, and opinions to your
club.
So, while the warm summer weather is on the wane there is still
plenty of great riding weather ahead and lots of club activities
to
participate in. Come join us or we just might make up our own
story as to why you weren’t there.

CLUB NEWS
As far as numbers, turnout, vendors and show machines, this year
took the cake. A
very successful and enjoyable event was once again done in
concert with the local
VJMC Twin Cities chapter. A big tip of the helmet goes to those
folks who did the
lion’s share of the organizing, setup and teardown. (Special
kudos to Sean O’Neil)
Also the volunteers, without whom the event just wouldn’t
happen.
Our national AMCA president, Richard Spagnolli, attended in
person and ad-
dressed the gathered faithful at our Friday night banquet, where
he was very com-
plimentary of our efforts and our co-operation with the VJMC to
make the event
such a success. He also presented an award to Trudi
Johnson-Richards on the occa-
sion of her retirement as Vice-President of the national AMCA
and her years of
service. Congrats and thankyou Trudi!
And then of course there are the motorcycles themselves, around
which
this whole event revolves. A great selection of American,
British, Ger-
man, Italian and other European machines were lined up next to a
stun-
ning array of Japanese machines. AMCA and VJMC members again
combined to put on a display that turned out to be a strong draw
for mo-
torbike enthusiasts everywhere. This year the Rockers Ton-Up
Club
had a corner of the barn staked out with some of their own
machines.
Volunteers at the entrance gates and the member sign-up/T-shirt
table
did a bang up job. This year’s T-shirts (nice design BTW) sold
out
quickly which means we gotta have more next year.
Trudi & Richard
The banquet being moved to Friday night seemed to work
well and was very tasty … the highlight being a speech
from our AMCA national president Richard Spagnolli.
The swap meet was one of the biggest ever with lots of
transactions in the paddock. Sure enough the rain paid its
Saturday afternoon visit but not before lots of activity had
gone down. The Tech Talks once again provided a great
forum for some of our more experienced members to in-
struct and respond to questions of a gearhead nature.
Prize winning bikes were Dave Moot’s 1969 Royal En-
field Interceptor (People’s Choice) and Gary Kloss’s
1970 Moto Guzzi V7 (Chrome wrench awarded by the
VJMC)

Second Annual Ride & Rally, Money Creek Campground, July 11
thru 13, 2014 by Doug Nelson
The word for this year’s event was WET, biblical perhaps. The
Friday ride is the President’s Ride and when I awoke in the
morning
I could hear the down pouring rain. The ride was scheduled out
of Prescott at 10 AM. Ron Spargo, being the president that he
is,
felt obligated to be there for the President’s ride. This year
we set the record for the fewest number of riders. While it may be
tied in
the future, it will never be broken. Diane and I waited out the
rain and went to Prescott at around noon. By then the skies had
cleared and we rode straight down to Money Creek, first on 35
until Nelson and back to 61 in Wabasha.. Diane rode her 1200
Sport-
ster and I rode the 67 Guzzi.
At the campground we were met by Curt and Maggie Block with
their
granddaughter Emma. Curt rode an older Indian to the campground.
Brats
were grilled on a nice charcoal grill. On Saturday morning there
was a plan
to head into Rushford for breakfast. Nice breakfast and then a
ride to the
top of the bluff overlooking Rushford. Simply an amazing vista
to behold.
After that we attempted to ride west to Lanesboro. The further
we rode the
darker the skies became ... it quickly became clear that the
ride heading
west now was high tailing it east. We made it back to the
campground just
before the skies opened up. The campground had provided a 20x40
foot
tent for us right next to where we camped and what a godsend
this turned
out to be. We were able to set under the tent with bikes
protected and just
watch it rain. And rain it did.
What … Me Worry?!?

CLUB NEWS
Later on that afternoon, here come two more bikes, Dena and Ivar
Natins.
Impressive to say the least. Great test for the rain gear and
new bikes in an
absolute downpour. A bit later, Sean O’Neil and Mark Jilk joined
the group.
Kathy and Roger Rimnac drove over in their truck from a near by
camp-
ground.
Chicken and fresh sweet corn were grilled for the Saturday
evening feed.
The evening was spent telling extremely tall tales around the
campfire.
Sunday morning and camp was broken and the bikes packed up. We
headed
into Lanesboro to a very fun train car dinner. Incredible
breakfast was had by
all. From there it was ride back home.
We all felt a bit sorry for those who did not make the event.
Next year will
already be the third annual, please make a mental note to circle
it on the cal-
endar. It will always be the next weekend after the Fourth of
July weekend.

The 74th Sturgis Rally Ride, August 2014
Once again the Viking Chapter faithful ventured forth to the
world’s largest annual gathering of two wheel machines.
The club’s first mission was to deliver a check for $1210 to
the
township of Wessington Springs SD for their tornado relief
fund. This town has been the site of the Viking Chapter
stop-
over on the way to Sturgis and this was our way of showing
appreciation for their hospitality and helping them to
rebuild.
This donation consisted of $500 from our club funds with the
remainder contributed by members. Viking Chapter members
presented our check to the town Sheriff (see pic at right).
Spectacular scenery (human and terrain) and the weather
mostly
co-operative. The bad boys, Ivar (speeding ticket) and Paul
(towed bike) had to pay for some of their fun! (See their
mug-
shots on page 11)

This is usually our best attended general meeting of the year.
Gee
could it be all that yummy food?!?!. Besides everyone
socializing
and catching up on club gossip, probably the most important
as-
pect is the nomination of new club officers for the coming
year.
This year’s open positions and nominees are: Kerry
Rassmussen
for Vice-President, Diane Nelson for Secretary and Mark Jilk
&
Tim O’Keeffe for Directors. Voting will take place at the
Septem-
ber General Meeting to be held at Fury Motors in So St Paul
(see
calendar on Page 2).
This year the picnic location was moved to Lion’s Park,
which
worked out really well. Special thanks to Tom & Cheryl
Whittles,
Doug & Diane Nelson, Jerry & Trudi Richards, Roger &
Kathi
Rimnac for their work to get our plates and bellies full.

NATIONAL MOTORCYCLE MUSEUM, SOLIHULL, U.K. - 18 June 2014
This museum occupies an eight acre site near the city of
Birmingham and holds the world’s largest collection of British
motorcycles.
In September 2003 a massive fire destroyed 380 machines in their
collection. 150 of these were restored while others were pur-
chased and restored to boast a collection of over 850 machines
today, most of which (as you can see from the photos) are in
pristine
condition. Most of the work is done by volunteers and
retirees.
One of the most valuable motorcycles in the world is the
Brough Superior Golden Dream, which is the only example
of George Brough's show model for the 1938 Olympia
show. Handbuilt by Brough and Freddie Dixon, the Golden
Dream has two pairs of horizontally opposed cylinders, one
above the other, with two longitudinal crankshafts to give
vibration free running. The two crankshafts shafts are
geared together, with one driving the rear wheel and the
other driving the oil pump and magdyno. Two Brough
Dream Fours were built but World War II stopped develop-
ment. The second Brough Dream has a black and chrome
finish and is in private ownership.
