FROM THE EDITOR
INTRODUCING: A SPECIAL BUBBLEMANIA ISSUE
Hey gang, Greg and I are pleased to present another Special Issue. As most of you
know, when we do a special issue you can expect something just a little bit off-thewall. Something that I hope you feel is a bit of tongue-in-cheek humor. I did a little
research on bubble gum and learned that it was invented in 1906. Since then, millions
of people have munched billions of wads. It is said that if you stuck together every

piece that’s ever been chewed, you would have a stick 113 million miles long. That’s

this special issue, whets in it for you? Well, first of all I asked Ray Haefy if he would do

Moot’s Point
H
ello everyone, may I indroduce
myself? Dave Moot your new
president. Out of respect for
the office,please refrain from
wearing your “Challenge Authority” T
shirts for a few years…I know I will.
One of my first acts as your president
ended in complete and utter failure.
At the recent holiday party,I was
instructed to present our
outgoing president
Keith Peters, his “Past
President” rocker patch
and because I “froze
up”, I neglegleted to
aknowledge
his
outstanding service as
our club leader.
He has been our
captain and has sailed
our ship straight and

to fill!
I for one say we do not allow him to sail off into the sunset because his outstanding organizational
skills can certainly be put to good use in the future!
Moot’s Point continued
I plan to carry on his presidental legacy of
taking the job seriously with a healthy portion
of irreverant humor!
Speaking of the holiday party,did you get a
chance to attend? We had a great turnout and
it sure looked like a big crowd especialy when
looking out from the podium.
Lots of great chow and chatter and it seems I
always run out of time before I run out of
chums to shoot the breeze with. It is certainly
one of the highlights of my winter.
We had a chance to introduce a couple of new
board members too.
Sean O’Neil a new director and Linda
Schunk our new treasurer. Welcome aboard!
Keith Peters, AKA “old salt” once wrote
“volunteers do the best job they can”and it is
my intention as your new president to do my
very best to keep this club prospering and
hopefully being a lot of fun for all it’s members.
My vision for the Viking Chapter in the years
to come is to continue to foster the
fundamental purpose of the AMCA as outlined
in its mission statement which is to “promote
the collection,restoration and preservation of
antique motorcycles”.
One of my main responsibilities as your new
president,as I see it, is to encourage and
facilitate the rewarding exchange of
information (about motorcycles) and the
helping of one another
to locate
machines,parts and services.
The social aspect of this club is extremley
important and it is the glue which holds us
together,but let us not forget the underlying
focus should always be the motorcycles we
are all so fond of.
Membership in the Viking Chapter ought to
bring with it a vast source of help because
each member possesses something the other
members need such as:
technical infomation; parts; knowledge of
dealers, suppliers, finishers, machinists,
etc.and it goes without saying that our fellow
members can be of immense help when it
comes to maintaining and restoring these
wonderful old bikes.
My thought is that we have somewhere
upwards of 6000 years in motorcycling
experience among our members!
There was a time when buying and
maintaining a very old motorcycle required a
very low percentage of one’s income.
That has all changed.
Recently I checked some closing prices of old
bikes on eBay.
A 1910 Harley went for $65,200.00; a 1946
Harley went for $25,400.00 and a 1931 Indian
four went for $46,200.00!
Last year at the Farmington banquet,our
AMCA president Pete Gagan ,spoke to us
about the future of the antique club and to
paraphrase him “very soon many of the
members’ (antique) machines will be Hondas,
Suzukis and Yamahas”
I share his viewpoint on this matter due to the
high cost of the older machines and the supply
and affordability of the import bikes from the
sixties and early seventies.
Therefore it is my humble opinion that we
continue to embrace the idea of an “all
inclusive”Antique Motorcycle club and be
respectful of ALL antique motorcycles.
This does not mean you have to give up your
loathing of the “Ninjas”!
As long as we are on the topic of the future
here are some ideas being implemented in
the following months:A more vigorous
emphasis on welcoming new members; an
effort to expand Viking/AMCA membership
through an expanded campaign of displaying
and promoting membership materials at all
our major public events.
meet currently held in Farmington, and a
big motorcycle auction is now being
planned for this year’s Farmington meet.
Bikes, parts and memorabilia will be
auctioned Friday and bikes Saturday.
I have been told that the club has been invited
to display bikes and beat or drum at the big
St.Paul Donnie Smith Motorcycle show in
late March.
Lots of fun things to look forward to.
And finally let me express on behalf of all
Viking members, a very hearty thanks to our
outgoing treasurer Kathi Rimnic for her
tireless dedication and to director Stan
Mewhorter who works in the club’s “engine
room”and probably always will.
Until Stan returns to the board, I think we might
bestow upon him the honorary title “seargent
at arms”.
Thanks again to all of you who voted
for me.
Long live the Viking Chapter!
Dave Moot.
I stongly encourage all the current and past
Viking members to do some recruiting
whenever they can as I think our
membership will either grow or decline but
unlikely to remain static.
A questionaire will be sent to all current Viking
members to get some up to date feedback on
what they expect and want from their club.This
will help the board of directors decide what
events deserve the most emphasis and
perhaps inject some new energy into the club.
We need your thoughts and ideas!
To quote the AMCA web site “Networking in
this club means rubbing elbows and turning a
few wrenches with fellow club members who
share your passion for old bikes.”, so, in
keeping with the spirit of the AMCA, a new
monthly gathering called the “Garage GetTogether” will be held once a month (May
through Sept.) at various club members’
garages with the focus on maintainence,repair
and a good deal of general BS about our old
bikes!This will be a great opportunity for some
of you seasoned members to offer your much
valued advice and guidance to the newbies
about general repair and maintenance.
The hosts of these events may provide some
beverages and snacks if they wish.
Let me know if you are willing to host such a
gathering.
Some of the other exciting things our board
of directors are working on, is talking with
the Minnesota State Fair on possibly
securing some space for our 2007 national
2006 VIKING ROSTERS
The 2006 Viking Rosters were e-mailed
to all current Viking members who have
supplied us with an e-mail address. If
you would like a printed roster please
send a self addressed, stamped
business size envelope to Linda
Schunk, 5065 Nine Mile Creek Circle,

Life Members:
Jones and Wyatt
by Keith Peters
A
t the Viking Party on Saturday night,
January 7, I’m proud to say that my final
act as outgoing president was to award two
Life Memberships. With Board approval, Tom
Jones and Rick Wyatt were made Life
Members of the Viking Chapter. Thanks to
Trudi Johnson-Richards and her quick
ordering action, there were even rockers to
award them at the party.
Both of these gents were founding members
and have been active in the club for over 30
years! Over those decades, Tom has been
President and Editor, has written and edited
the “25 Years of the Viking Chapter” booklet,
leads the antique bike rides to Davenport and
is the Club’s historian. Rick has also held
many positions including Vice President,
editor, treasurer, deputy judge, has initiated
and organized the Fall swap meet, organized
shows and rides. Congratulations,
Tom and Rick! This recognition was
long overdue.
Appreciation Dinner
Text and photos by Paul
Meisel
O
n November 2nd, 2005, we
had our appreciation dinner
at the Old Country Buffet in
Richfield. The attendance was
excellent, which shows that lots
of members volunteered some of
their valuable time. Any club
depends on volunteers and our
club is no exception. For all you
newer members (or older
members who still aren’t sure how to get
involved) I want you to know that this is about
the easiest club imaginable to become
involved in. We are definitely not what is
known as a “closed group” type of club. To
get involved, the first step is to attend the
general meetings. (As Woody Allen once said
“Half of what there is to life is just showing
up.” Then while you’re at the meeting,
introduce yourself to at least one other
member so you start to get acquainted. Then
volunteer to help at something, even in some
small way. Perhaps volunteer to work a two
hour shift at the gate at Farmington. This is
not only a great help to the club, but you
get to know whoever is
working with you at the gate. So you see, it’s
really very easy to get involved and you won’t
find nicer people anywhere.
Movie Night at
Betty’s Bikes &
Buns

W
ednesday, December 7, was
the first official “Motorcycle
Movie” night at Betty’s Bikes
& Buns, with 10 members
attending. The night’s feature was
We had a good turn out for movie night at Betty’s
and believe me they appreciate it.

in Black, Johnny Cash, who garnered
a 1970 Golden Globes nomination for
his original music, “Balad of Little Foss.”
Some unfortunate younger fellow came
into Betty’s just at the moment when a
movie couple was caught “en flagrant
de’lit” (lay translation from the French:
caught buck nekked and very close
together). He looked up at the TV and
then at the crowd at the table. He must
have thought that he stumbled into skin
flicks night at an AARP meeting, and
quietly moved to the back of the room.
Here are some photos taken of our tables
during the dinner.
If I missed you, you have my apologies.
You were probably up refilling your plate. (Or
you are a new member and failed to introduce
yourself!)
Once again let’s finish by saying, all the
volunteers who’ve helped out though
the year are greatly appreciated.
Paul.

L
ast year, nuevopres Dave Moot told us a
bit about seats that he’d had repaired by
Bob’s General Services of Ira, Iowa, in his
“works in progress” article about his ’67 Royal
Enfield Intercepter. Rick Schunk, Tom
Broich and I have also had seats rebuilt by
Bob, and he does a nice job and returns
rebuilt seats quickly. Tom had several custom
seats fabricated by Bob’s, who also rebuilds
boat and car seats. But, motorcycle seats
make up 90% of the business. Bob has been
an AMCA member over 20 years.
Tom Broich has been down to visit him and
says that Bob works out of his small shop on
the edges of the small town of Ira, starting
his business when the construction crane
manufacturing company he worked for, for 23
years, moved to Winona. Bob, who has been
in business full time for three years, rebuilt
my 1966 Honda 90’s seat with total turnaround time about four weeks, including
mailing time both ways. Bob and I discussed
that I wanted it stock; seams in the same
place, piping, lettering on the back, vinyl
matching original and he did exactly that.
Vendorama continued
The total cost including shipping and tax was
about $175. Bob replaces foam as needed
and sews the vinyl covers himself, including
making them for three other businesses who
sell just the covers and parts on line.
Bob’s General Services is at P.O. Box 102,

Stan’s First MC Trophy
by Keith Peters
F
ormer Director, Stan Mewhorter,
finally received his first motorcycle
related trophy at the January 7 Holiday
Party in Richfield. Stan runs the gates at
Farmington and tracks yearly riders to
meetings. He had pointed out several
times at Board meetings that he was one
of the few Viking members who haven’t
earned, traded, bought or made their own
motorcycle trophy. When he bought his
1200 cc Sportster, friends told him that
Sportsters are ridden by “paper boys and
girls.”
Seeing an injustice, this special trophy
was made to help make Stan’s life
complete.
It is actually a recycled cheerleader’s
trophy from 1962, in passionate pink
plastic with a baton twirler atop it. Not for
hill climbing, short tracking, showing a
bike, restoration, maybe not exactly what
Stan had envisioned, but a start. It reads
“Stan Mewhorter Prettiest
Sportster 2005 Viking Chapter,
AMCA.”
Be sure not to miss the
March General Meeting.
Be sure to say howdy
and congradulations to
Bazooka Dave.
My first Bike
by Mark Backlund
y first bike offered me the three things
many people today take for granted:
Reliability, economy, and ease of
maintenance. I was all of eight years old and
my trusty straight-frame mini-bike with 3 1/2
horsepower Tecumseh motor carried me
everywhere. To the gravel pits, the swamps,
and once, five miles between my Uncle Al’s
house and my cousin’s place. And to think
kids today complain about the weight of their
backpacks! As I got older, I progressed
through a steady stream of larger mini-bikes
and a bunch of dirt bikes of dubious reliability.
One, which I still curse to this day, would not
make it up the big hill at the local gravel pit.
You learn many things in a hurry about riding
while stalled three quarters of the way up a
steep hill! And, with the bad brakes of the
era, it was much more interesting going down
the hill than going up.
M
In my never ending quest for more power,
my brother Lowell took me over to a friend of
his who happened to be a collector and trader
of all things motorized. We were there to
check on the availability of a Honda. But when
we rounded the corner of his house and
gazed at the three motorcycles he had for
sale, my eyes were locked on only one.
A Ducati!
This bike was made back in the days before
Ducati would rule the road-racing world with
their amazing V-twins. Prior to the early
seventies Ducati built high quality, single
cylinder motorcycles that, pound for pound,
could kick butt on bikes that had double the
displacement. The bike I purchased bore little
resemblance to the day it came out of the
Bologna, Italy factory. It had been stripped of
its lights and fenders and used for flat track
racing. Its last race ended in a fireball, which,
until I bought it for the grand sum of $25.00,
would be the last time it moved under its own
power.
Not being smart enough to know this once
proud Italian two-wheeler was a total loss, I
rebuilt it. I put many miles on this extremely
competent motorcycle, but the highlight for
me came when a friend of my older brother
showed up on his BSA looking for my brother.
I told ol’ Roger that the only rider and
motorcycle available at our house that day
were my Ducati and me. He mumbled
something about babysitting and then said
“Well, come on then.” Now his BSA, while
ten years old, was no slouch. But my Ducati
had no trouble keeping up to him, at least up
to 70 mph or so. At the end of the day he was
very impressed both with me and my scratch
built Ducati.
Just like a first love, I will always have a
special place in my heart for that
tough and fast little bike.
