S&K Service Motorcycle Swap Meet, May 1st, 2010
The S&K 23rd Annual Service Swap Meet, the
longest and largest swap meet of it’s kind was held on May 1st
near Weston, Wisconsin at the Central Wisconsin Auto Auction (just 5 miles
east of Wausau Wisconsin). Hundreds of enthusiasts turned out for the event
on a beautiful, partly cloudy day where the temperatures hovered around the
70-degree mark. The event had
many VJMC members in attendance as well as a strong showing from our friends
in the VJMC Minnesota chapter.
There was a steady stream of folks coming to the VJMC booth all day
including four new members that joined the club during the event – please
welcome Wayne Richter, Bob Raddatz, Mike Wendt, and Robert Kluender.
I later received an email from Jeff Lewis whom I met at the event and
he informed me he would be joining as well!
Quite a few other vintage motorcycle enthusiasts left with
registration materials, so we may grow even larger as a result.
The event included the usual huge swap meet, a bike show sponsored by the
Rib Mountain Rider’s Motorcycle club, a motorcycle auction, and two food
vendors. Thanks to Bob White for supplying the majority of the photos!

Road America Motorcycle Classic - June 11th-13th,
2010
Mix some cool weather, camping, vintage motorcycle
racing, swap meet, bike show, and a motorcycle ride mapped out and led by
VJMC Member Dennis Weinhold, and you get the 2010 Road America Vintage
Motorcycle Classic.
The Road America
Vintage Motorcycle Classic is sponsored by the
American Historic Racing Motorcycle
Association Ltd. (AHRMA) which is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to
restoring and competing on classic motorcycles. With about 5,000 members,
AHRMA is the largest vintage-racing group in North America and one of the
biggest in the world. Needless to say this is a great event, and the
event is a perfect fit for the VJMC.
Fortunately for us, Will Stoner secured the premier spot for the VJMC booth
in the club corral.
The club corral is a grassy area with asphalt drives on two sides forming a
triangular point looking directly at the swap meet area and the hill that
goes toward
the racing pits. At the rear of our
spot was the asphalt lot that hosted the Motorcycle Classics Magazine
Motorcycle Show.
