“Shoptoberfest” Meeting at Jeff Myers’ Residence
Our October meeting was the second annual
“Shoptoberfest” get-together at Jeff Myers’ home in Midlothian, TX.
We had a great time with live music from the Ennis Czech Boys polka
band, and we enjoyed brats, pretzels, and beer. We had a good
turn-out with perfect weather. We also enjoyed looking around Jeff’s
workshop and his excellent motorcycle collection.
At 2pm, VP Richard Bowman took care of the formal club business and
announcements portion of the meeting. Richard started by thanking
our hosts, Jeff and Pari, for putting on such an excellent meeting
with great food. He also thanked the Ennis Czech Boys for their
fabulous music. Special shout-out to Pari who really looked the part
for Oktoberfest in her traditional dirndl dress!
Reviewing recent events, Richard gave an update on the LOP rallye,
and the Epic Ride to the Barber Vintage Festival. Both events were
very successful. The LOP was the club’s 40th anniversary rallye, and
the attendance doubled compared with last year. This year’s bike
show had 98 motorcycles entered! The Epic Ride departed from Yellow
Rose Canyon on the Monday after LOP, and we arrived at the Barber
festival in Leeds, Alabama on the Thursday. The weather stayed fine
and dry for the ride and the whole of the Barber weekend. We had a
great time!
In updates on projects, Jody McClure told us about his son’s recent
motorcycle acquisition. He is restoring a 1967 Triumph TR6 chopper,
which will be a similar project to Jody’s recently completed
prize-winning Triumph chopper – also a 1967.
Jeff Myers has a variety of 1960s and 70s Triumph parts for sale,
for twins and triples. See Jeff for details.
Thanks to Mark Dunn for the reminder that the Motorcyclist magazine
featured their
top ten best motorcycles from the 2024 Barber Vintage Festival.
Two of Richard Asprey’s machines made the list, the 1951 Vincent
Rapide Touring and the 1923 Norton 16H Endurance Racer.
Thanks also to Mark Dunn for organizing the 50/50 raffle. Carmine
Lidestri was the lucky winner!
Our next meeting is on Sunday November 24 at Dave Morales’ place in
Denton.
Richard wrapped up the meeting with a final thank you to Jeff, Pari
and the Ennis Czech Boys.
