This AMCA Chapter rides.
This was very apparent last
month with 12 of our Chapter
Members participating in the
2014 Cannonball Coast to
Coast Endurance Race. This
marked the third Cannonball
Event in America and
featured 100+ riders from
13 Countries. Think about
this for a minute. Riders from
Spain, Ireland, France, Italy,
Germany, Poland, Holland,
United Kingdom, South
Africa, Canada and Japan
all shipped their bikes, spare
motors, extra parts and
support crews all the way to
America just to ride vintage
motorcycles. That tells me
America is still the “Land of
Greatness” when it comes to
riding scenery, history and
testing your mental, physical
and machine condition. Our
Club Riders are listed here!
#3 Buck Carson
1936 HD Model R - TX
#6 Steve Simpson
1928 JD - Kansas/Florida
#25 Scott Byrd
1931 HD V – Arkansas
#31 Clyde Crouch
1929 KJ Four – TX
#41 Mike Bell
1923 HD J - Texas
#54 David Lloyd
1919 HD J - Mississippi
#73 Greg McFarland
1926 HD J –Texas
#74 Rowdy Schenck
1928 HD J – NM
#76 Robert Gustavsson
1931 HD VL - TX
#77 Brent Mayfield
1934 HD VJ - Ohio
#90 Mike Carson
1924 HD J - Texas
#99 Jon Neuman
1928 HD JD – Texas
The 4,000 mile journey was
not without issues. Clyde
Crouch endured an accident
at 15 mph on a switchback
curve in the Colorado
Rockies when he encountered loose gravel at the very
edge of the roadway drop-off.
No damage to his venerable
and beautiful 1929 Excelsior
Henderson KJ Streamline
Four, but Clyde did get some
hospital time. He had a
deflated lung, five broken ribs
and had his spleen removed
to stop internal bleeding.
When the bike was removed
from on top of him, Clyde got
to his feet & walked around!
(Can we say John Wayne?)
Clyde is recovering just fine,
but the ribs are still tender we
are told.
Most all machines had some
sort of mechanical issue.
Issues ranged from flat tires,
coils that quit, to more
complicated internal
combustion issues in 78 –
100+ year old power plants.
But with “the never quit,
never sleep attitude” of the
support team members these
issues were cured by the
next morning for the most
part. It mattered not if a chain
needed changed or an entire
motor needed rebuilt… the
machines and men were
back on the road the next
morning. A tribute to the men
and women who just would
not quit regardless of the
issue before them. I will no
doubt leave many off this list,
but must attempt to applaud
at least the following
individuals to show the level
of support it takes to field just
one race team.
Shelby Withrow, Truck
Driver & Machinist - TX,
Jesse Law, Mechanic – TX,
Theresa Prosser, Logistics
Manager. – TX,
Steve Norton, Crew Chief –
United Kingdom
Bob Huffman – Ohio,
Paul Elser – TX,
Ivan Brown United Kingdom
In the end, 24 riders achieved
perfect scores.
Please visit ….
www.CherokeeAMCA.org or
www.MotorcycleCannonball.com
to view a number of videos and
many hundreds of photos that are
showing the trials and tribulations
of this great endurance event.
I am extremely proud of all in
our Chapter whom participated
either as rider, team support
member or as an enthusiast
whom followed the event daily
online.
In this issue I am also listing all
Chapter Members whom donated
their hard earned money to help
sponsor these Cherokee Chapter
Riders. You are the unsung
heroes of the vintage motorcycle
sport . In the end I believe that
our Chapter had more
participants in this event than any
other Chapter of the AMCA.
Be Proud!
We Ride!
For The Love of the Sport
Steve Klein, President
Members Always Come First . . .
Hello Fellow Members.
What a blur the past 6 weeks
have been. W e embarked on
one of the Grandest Motorcycle
Events of our lives, The Cannonball 3 from Daytona Beach
Florida to Tacoma W ashington.

Cherokee Members Mike
nd
Carson came in 2 in Class
Two, and Jon Neuman came in
nd
2 in Class Three as the top
riders of the Carson Classic
Motors Team that included,
Brent Mayfield, Greg McFarland,
Scott Byrd, David Lloyd, Steve
Simpson and Buck Carson
finished the field.
Fellow Cherokee Members Mike
Bell, Clyde Crouch, Rowdy
Schenck, “Big Swede” Robert
Guestavsson, and our friend
from across the pond, Peter
Reeves also made the journey
across the USA riding their
vintage motorcycles.
Mother Nature started us out
with rain to Tennessee, but
blessed us with good weather in
the Rockies. Go Figure, shorts in
mountains & the Support Crew
packed for snow. All of us
Thank You for your Support
through good and bad and a
special thanks to goes to Jesse
Law who put up with me for
4000 miles in the lead haul
truck. W e were moving 300
people from one place to the
next, 300 miles apart, for almost
a full three weeks with 101
motorcycles starting out, and at
times it was quite the traveling
circus.
Please make sure you take time
to visit the official website
www.motorcyclecannonball.com
to view hundreds of photographs
and dozens of videos of this
amazing journey. There is also
an incredible video on our site
www.CherokeeAMCA.org with
music by BonJovi that is
showing the high points of the
journey and many of our riders.
In closing, I am filled with
immense pride that the largest
group of riders in this Historic
Event were in fact all members
of The Cherokee Chapter of
The AMCA. Be Very Proud!
Fall Road Run in Sweetwater
is this weekend. Our Members
from out around Abilene have
done a terrific job with planning
this event. See the route maps
and Flier in this issue.
Please come ride.
Pistons and Paint – Denton
th
On November 8 we are going
back to the Pistons and Paint
Car show, where we will be
showing off the old bikes to the
car crowd. Last year we had 46
Vintage Motorcycles from 1908
– 1965 on display. W e encourage all Northern Texas and
Southern Oklahoma Members
to bring their bike(s) and put
them on display. Info on
Judging or Just Showing a
bike(s) is contained in the
Event Calendar in this
edition.
Pate Swap Meet
As we have reported earlier,
we have secured almost 240
rd
vending spots for the 43
Annual Pate Swap Meet near
Texas Motor Speedway near
Fort W orth TX for next Spring.
Pate is a huge Transportation
Event with over 7,800 vending
spots for all things transporttation. W e have struck a deal
with Pate Management to
spearhead the formation of a
far more organized Vintage
Motorcycle Swap Meet and
Bike Show within their existing
Very Successful Swap Meet.
As of this date have picked up
some very good vendors
through advertising at
Wauseon & Davenport Swap
Meets. W e still have vending
spots remaining but should sell
out by the end of this year.
One Vendor of Note is The
National Motorcycle Museum
from Anamosa IA, owned by
John Parham. There will be
plenty of parts and projects for
sale. So mark your calendars
now and plan on bringing a
.C
erokee Concourse de
Pate W e will also be holding the
first ever Concourse Motorcycle
Show at this event. W e have two
Chapter Semi-Truck Trailer Rigs
anchoring two main Bike Show
Areas. Our members are all
invited to bring and show their
Vintage Motorcycles. The North
Texas Norton Owners Association (NTNOA) are also working
with us to help put together an
extremely large and significant
showing of very fine vintage
machines. I am also in communication with The VJMC Club for
participation as well. More soon.
This will be a People’s Choice
Format on Year One to get
started with, plus a few additional
trophies from Pate, our Chapter
and a few Sponsors no doubt.
Christmas Party
The Christmas party at The
Klein’s should be with less ice
this year so the North Texas
group should not have to worry
about travel. I can say it is
definitely worth the trip. The
Klein’s large home and shop is
filled with members all day long
enjoying great conversation and
good food and beverage.
Membership continues to rise to
almost 200. For the Cannonball
Race the Cherokee, Diamond
and Confederate Chapters all
honored each other’s memberships till the end of the year, and
we will be working on having
regional events together with our
Sister Chapters for all in The
South to share more great
events, great roads and great
motorcycling.
Make sure you plan on renewing
your membership in December
so you are ready to go in 2015.
Trust me…It will be a terrific
year!
Please Stay Tuned!

Cherokee Chapter Christmas Gathering / Elections. Mark your calendars now!

th
Saturday December 6 is an all day Cherokee Chapter Gathering. Saturday arrivals can just come to our home. If the
weather permits a Saturday Morning Ride will be held. A catered BBQ dinner will be served at 1:30 Saturday followed
by a chapter meeting / awards program and our annual elections. Then desert and coffee will be served after that. On
Saturday evening there will be a bonfire and all who wish to stay in their RV or a hotel room on Saturday night may just
head for home on Sunday morning this year. (We normally held this on a Sunday each year but due to the distance
some members must drive… we felt it better to hold the event on a Saturday to allow members to return home Saturday
evening or Sunday morning. Hope y’all agree?)This will no doubt be our last single location Christmas Gathering as we
have grown to the point in future years we need to have multiple locations to better serve our large territory.
Next year expect a gathering in North Texas, in OKC, in Houston and in Austin

This is Year One for The Cheorkee Chapter at Pate. Pate is the “Grand Daddy of all Swap Meets” with over 7,800
vendor spaces & a 43 year history of Transportation Related Vendors. Our own Shelby Withrow has secured almost
250 vendor spaces and has pre-leased many of them as of this date. If you know a vendor or you wish to vend… DO
NOT WAIT ANY LONGER! We will have a defined section of spaces at the end of two streets just inside the fence from
the RV Parking Area. Our intent is to get all motorcycle related vendors in one section of the show instead of sprinkled
throughout the event. W e have two Chapter Semi-Truck Trailer Rigs to anchor our visibility. W e have an entire area
roped off for a Concourse de Pate Bike Show. The Bike Show will be a People’s Choice Format on Year One. Our
Club along with The North Texas Norton Owner Association (NTNOA) will be in charge of filling up at least 200 bike
spaces for Year One. John Parham owner of The National Motorycle Museum from Anamosa Iowa is coming to set up
a display. Vintage Bike Vendors from across America are already pre-registered to bring in a large array of parts.
You will not wish to miss this event.

J
Cannonball 2014 . . . by Steve Klein
The 2014 Cannonball Endurance Run, Coast to Coast was the third such event and was bigger and better than ever. It also garnered
Worldwide attention with riders from 12 countries competing in what is now being billed as the Toughest Motorcycle Race in America.
Countries are: America Spain Italy France Germany Holland United Kingdom South Africa Poland Canada Ireland Japan
In all 114 Riders were registered and the Kick Off Banquet was held in Daytona Beach Florida the evening before the race start date
th
of September 5 . I believe that a total of 108 riders departed the starting line.
This year’s race covered a grueling 4,000+ miles from the Atlantic Ocean at Daytona Beach Florida to Tacoma W A Puget Sound Area
at the Pacific Ocean. Many riders dipped their back tire at the starting line and dipped their front tire at the finish line. All motorcycles
were older than 1937 so the newest models racing were 78 years old. Many machines are approaching 100 years old. David Lloyd’s #54
th
machine is a 1919 HD twin and I believe his machine is only the 6 oldest. A true test of man and machine to find, rebuild, tune and keep
these venerable old mounts of the past with tired steel and alloy, reliable enough to ride approximately 300 miles per day for three
weeks straight in every conceivable road and weather conditions.
Our Members Supported our Riders. Prior to the start of the event, I challenged our entire membership to pledge individual support for
this group of riders. W ithin 2 weeks I received over $10,000 from our members. Checks for $25, $50, $100, $250 or more flooded in.
Some individuals sent in $1,000, $1,500 or more. How many people can say they sponsored a Cannonball Team? But you did it and now
these individuals are a part of Cannonball History!

Recent Events attended by Our Members …
Pflugerville Chili Pfest….
Each year our Chapter Members try to support this worthwhile one day event in Pflugerville TX just a few exits North of Austin. This year
through a confluence of communication lapses and an awfully full schedule of area bike events, our own Greg Nelson shouldered the
entire task himself. Greg took 4 of his vintage bikes to display, start up and answer questions all day outside another Chapter member
Wes Brown’s Chili Booth. Greg… Above and beyond the call of duty! But we get to see some of Greg’s bikes in this issue! Yah for Us!

Member Profile… Steve and Theresa Littlefield, Georgetown TX
It has been a while since we did a member profile and I cannot think of better folks to introduce you all to than Steve Littlefield and his wife
Theresa who own Central Texas Powersports on I-35 on the North side of Georgetown TX. CT Powersports features Honda, Kawasaki,
Suzuki, Yamaha, Can Am, and Polaris lines of new machines, an impressive used inventory of all makes and models from small scooters
through off road, cruisers, sport bikes, to full dress touring machines, a full accessories department, clothing department, as well as a full
parts and service department. Regardless of what brand of machine you enjoy… if you want an “old fashioned. friendly dealership”
that will not gouge your pocketbook and that “truly appreciates your business”… then Central Texas Powersports is where you should
buy your tires, oil, get your service or buy that new bike you have been eying. A full line of all models from all these manufacturers plus
four wheelers, plus Can Am three wheelers and the big Sportsman wide body Polaris and Honda off road 4 and six passenger side by
sides for family or hunting use. The all new Polaris Slingshot is also worth viewing! (Photo below)
Steve started his career in motorcycles at the Harley Davidson dealership in W ichita Falls TX at a very young age and has been in the
motorcycle business ever since. He is also an avid collector of early Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Triumph motorcycles. Stop in and
have a cup of coffee soon. Steve and Theresa are active Cherokee Chapter Members and AMCA Members as well. It is common to see
vintage motorcycles on display any week of the year at this great dealership! Vintage Motorcycle Friendly is definitely spoken here!

The Cherokee Chapter of

of America was formed for
the purpose of enjoying old
motorcycles. We accomplish
this through local member
organized events in and
around Texas, Oklahoma
and Arkansas. Our members
own, study, preserve, restore
or just appreciate vintage
motorcycles that are at least
35 years or older. Often our
members also study and
collect all forms of vintage
motorcycle art, literature,
clothing and memorabilia
related to these vintage
machines. If you have an old
bike or just have an interest
in learning more about these
magnificent machines and
the wonderful history of our
great sport, please visit our
website and also contact us
about membership, road
runs, bike shows and other
club activities.
