Minutes of Meeting April 27 2010
Total of 32 present including three guests from the Manitoba Motorcycle Club.
It was a beautiful evening and the President allowed time for tire kicking in the parking lot before calling us
to order at 7:45pm.
Tom displayed some clothing and cap samples from Variety Advertising and left pricing with Rega-
lia/Property Manager John for ordering.
Librarian Mike had brought more books in boxes plus a book for raffle and some old AMCof M cloth badg-
es and transfers which were given away.
Treasurer Ziggy reported a total of $3096.80 in the bank after paying out $489.06 for the book cabinet,
newsletter expenses, etc. An amount of $619.00 was given to Ted from the last two raffles.
John T reported the Bison Rally arrangements on track and gave out some posters.
Chas reported the Perimeteritis Run on track and Tom handed out reminders.
President Ross suggested that the Manitoba Motorcycle Club and the Antique M/cycle Club amalgamate for
the remaining period with a “Last Hurrah” for September. He further offered to see to the amalgamation if the
incorporation papers were given to him.
Rene said in reply that they would need a couple of months to consider this suggestion.
A reminder about the Swap Meet on May 15 was given.
President Ross asked for anyone willing to organize a Run to DI Coating’s to step up.
Some rather exotic toy purchases had been made recently and we look forward to seeing an AJS 7R racer
from JT, a 1929 Norton from DP and a Vincent Comet from RM in the parking lot some time this summer
Ross pointed out that the club has the authority to do appraisals for the Vintage Plate.
The meeting adjourned at 8:20pm and after Robins Doughnuts, six of the Southern Contingent rode home
together. Beautiful evening, no wind, full moon, Oh how good to be alive and be a motorcyclist, until one of
our number rode over a deer which had just been mangled by a Semi! Managed to stay upright thank Good-
ness but very indignant about all the blood and guts on his previously shiny bike!
May—June 2010
Following June 29 meeting Coffee & Donuts 8pm at the
David P. Collection, 925 Wellington Crescent
at Waverley St.

ANOTHER GREAT DAY FOR HD WINNIPEG SWAP MEET

Conquering Perimeteritis
2010
Despite dire warnings of severe thunder
storms and heavy rain predictions, 28
motorcycles made it to Morden with no
less than 49 hungry bikers sitting down
to hamburgers, beans and salads. Oblig-
ingly the sun came out while we ate. Of
the 130 homemade hamburger patties
made only very few were left! Some
woosies left early when dark clouds
threatened, missing the dessert and a
good time of tall stories in what turned
out later to be a perfect evening.
The meeting place in Carman worked out
well with those from Portage area com-
May—June 2010
ing in separately on Hwy13, from the Oak Bluff
crowd on Hwy3, and meeting the Southern Contin-
gent of 6 bikes already there. It was hard to tell if
the writers BMW was running when all the bikes
fired up (especially the Harley’s!!), to leave for
Morden.!
Rudy Enns gave us a conducted tour of his Harley
and Ford collection at both his shop and home,
with many anecdotes and facts about each historic
vehicle, pointing out little-known details which
made for a very interesting tour. For instance, on a
1930’s Cabriole (later called a coupe) he told us
how he had searched for years to buy one which
had an intact flip-out ash tray; a feature which ap-
peared on the dash for one year only. On all the
vehicles he looked at over many years the ash tray
was missing. One could buy after-market ones for
about $2000-00! Some of the vehicles or motorcy-
cles he had had to wait up to 10 years to buy, be-
cause the owners would not part with them. None
of the vehicles were restored as Rudy’s big theme
is originality, even to the upholstery and paint
work.
Another great AMC of M outing was enjoyed by
those that did not look at the weather reports or just
chose to ignore them!

Minutes of May Meeting 25/05/2010
On one of the windiest evenings this Spring 21 members turned out with seven stalwarts riding in on two
wheels! (Plus one on three!) In the absence of the President, past President Jerry presided and called the
meeting to order at 7:45pm.
Dave P handed out the Rosters for 2010 and advised any who did not get to let him know.
John T reported that arrangements for the 10th Annual Bison Rally were on track and called for volunteers
to help with grass cutting etc., prior to the rally weekend. He called for a show of hands of those coming
and an indication of who would be wanting T shirts.
Chas reported the "Conquering Perimeteritis" run to Morden on track and twelve members indicated that
they would be coming.
A pamphlet to a "Ride In" to Cavalier ND on June 19 was distributed.
Another pamphlet for a "Ride For Dad" this Saturday 29th was also handed out.
Treasurer Ziggy reported a balance of $3015.74 as at May 10 in the bank with more Rally subscriptions still
coming in.
Regalia Manager John T has put pins and stickers in the cupboard for sale to members. Also some old
iron-on patches were put in the cupboard and a few nice sew-on patches were sold out very quickly for
$5.00 each. Some members requested that some more of these sew-on patches should be ordered.
An announcement was made that after a short business June Meeting, we would proceed to Dave
Pritchard's Wellington Crescent Home/ Museum (# 925) to view his amazing collection of antique Jaguar
cars , motorcycles and beautifully displayed memorabilia. Coffee and donuts will be served. Don't miss this
opportunity to view this unique collection, especially Dave's magnificent 1930's SS Jaguar.
Nothing further had been heard from the Manitoba Motorcycle Club.
Publisher Dave P called for nice bike pictures for the front cover of newsletters and any other good interest-
ing motorcycle related pictures.
