Our VP's new ride, a '79 T140E Bonneville.
Congratulations Chris Parry!

Steve's new but very old Norton - a 1949 ES2

It last ran in 1992 before being stored in a garage in Hawaii. It was rebuilt in the 80's in the Philippines by a Jitney-Jeep shop, and was a Hacienda bike in Jakarta.

It was owned by American military Father then Son. The son recently retired from the military and shipped it to Arlington, Texas. That’s all the known history at this time.

It's missing the speedometer, Amal carb, and exhaust is not original. The rest seems to be all there.

If any members can help with parts suppliers for Norton ES2's please let me know.

Anyone recognize the motorcycle pictured below?  This bike was purchased new by Capt. Commando at RPM Cycle.  A couple of years later Berwyn Henderson acquired it and brought it to this years AMA Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio.  Chuck Lepper, the gentleman pictured below walked by, asked who owned it and refused to leave without it.  He made Berwyn an offer nobody in their right mind could refuse.  This picture was taken immediately following the exchange of cash for bike.

Coming home from Vintage Motorcycle Days at Mid-Ohio Berwyn negotiated a deal for this brand new 2008 Kawasaki Versys before he even got home.  This is Berwyn at home on his Versys right after he picked it up on Tuesday.  It is the first if not one of the first Versys in the Metroplex.  Maybe he'll ride it to the meeting on Sunday for all of us to look at.
