The Wimpy Campout
Hosted by Jamie and Michelle Jones
Once again Jamie and Michelle hosted an awesome
party. Their house is located in a wooded area with
plenty of room for the many tents that were set up. We
spent most of our time in the garage amidst Jamie’s
collection of fine British bikes and his Cobra and ‘73
Mustang.
The Wimpy Campout was started back in 2007 or ‘08 ,
no one seems to remember exactly, and has become a
club favorite. Jamie and Michelle are wonderful hosts and everyone is made to feel like they are
family. The gathering was well attended by members as well as many non-members. Due to the
beautiful weather there was a nice collection of motorcycles to check out. Marques included Triumphs, AJS, BMW, KTM, H-D, and Suzuki, in addition to the Nortons.
We visited, shared motorcycle stories, ate, drank and after dark many of us made the switch to the
Jack Daniels that Jamie saved especially for the party. In the morning we woke to breakfast and
enough coffee to chase away the results of the Jack the night before. Those who spent the night
were joined by several who came for the breakfast and the conversations and stories continued. A
great time was had by all. If you haven’t been to a Wimpy Campout you should plan on coming next
year.

Also, as a reward for driving the sag
wagon and following us around all

Abeyta full points. The home-made
cookies she brought along had something to do with it, too…

I was having some electrical issues with my Norton and in in the process of troubleshooting I decided I needed some parts. Someone suggested I
call Dave Porter at Old World Bikes in Golden.
Well, much to my surprise, Dave had what I needed in stock. How nice to be able to get Norton
parts in town again. Many of you already know
Dave from Arvada British Cycles, but this was my
first time meeting him. I found Dave to be very
personable and knowledgeable about British
bikes. He had some ideas of what might be my
bike’s problem and I left not only with my parts,
but with some new ideas. I find having a shop in
town that carries Norton parts very convenient. I
think I’ll be going back to see Dave.
INOA Rally Report
Several of our members made it to the INOA Rally
in Asheville, North Carolina. John Dahl’s bike is pictured here while riding the Blue Ridge parkway. Jim
Comstock rode his Norton and his daughter, Hanna,
road her FJ 1100. Gary Bolduc rode his Norton as
did Steve Harris. Charley had this to say about
their trip, “Steve and Gary, two old farts on two
old Nortons...4800 miles.” John said there were
around 450 people at the rally. There was good
weather for the most part, with some rain here and
there. North Carolina has some awesome riding. It
was a great time.

Classic and Vintage Bike Show
Call to all classic and vintage motorcycle owners and collectors: dust off your prize machine(s) and bring it or them to the
2015 Applefest in Cedaredge, Colorado on October 3rd.
This year the show will be held at the Pioneer Town Museum in Cedaredge right next to the Chapel. It will be part of the annual vintage and classic car show this year. There is NO entry fee to display your motorcycle. This is not a judged event, just a
fun day and a chance to let spectators admire, and perhaps covet, your prized passion. Try to have your bike there by 9:00
a.m.

Western Slope Riders
Top 10 (2015):
Many Norton Colorado members live in the
western part of the state, and finally have
noticed that it’s I inconvenient to ride 500
miles for High Tea on the Front Range.
Said members have formed a loose
confederation known as the Western Slope
Riders, and are having their own High Tea
and other fun times.

All Norton Colorado members are welcome
at these Western Slope events, so if you
city kids want to find out what the shoe
feels like on the other foot, plan to ride out
and join the Western Slope contingent.
