CHAIRMAN’S CHAT
                                    From the Acting Chairman

I know that Peter is doing a great job with the newsletter and we are grateful to him for this. My
new concern is does anyone read it as my pleas for committee members and an interested
chairman have to date drawn a complete blank!! Looks like we will have to resort to the old navy
recruitment methods of press gang and the like!

We are facing very challenging time in the life of the club and we will have to answer some serious
questions about our future if we are to survive. I for one would be very sorry to see the VMC
diminish in importance and stature.

On the positive side there are some good things coming up before the holidays and I would like to
draw your attention to some of them.

Firstly you are all always welcome at the VVC club Sunday which is on the last Sunday of every
month and you may not be aware that we now light the Braai fires every club Sunday. It is always
a pleasant time to socialise and chat about those things we hold dear such as old bikes and other
vehicle so please come and join in.

You may notice elsewhere that the VMC is also invited to participate in our annual run to Kenjara
Lodge for a Festive lunch and those who have been before will testify to good value and great
fellowship. This year the run takes place on 10 December from Broadacres Shopping Centre BUT
booking will be essential as we expect a good take up of this one and the Sunbeam club are also
invited. You may contact me for regs in this regard and I can email them to you.

I have a number of very keen buyers for DJ Bikes so if you have a spare one and are thinking of
parting with it please contact me. I don’t make anything out of this in case you wondered and my
sole intent is to get more entries for this wonderful event that we need to support fully. The regs
are out already and please don’t leave your entry until the last moment as this causes heartache
for the organisers and all kind of stress in general. Your bikes should also be made ready by now as
the last minute rebuilds in the parking garage in Hillcrest generally don’t get nearly as far as the
entrants would have wished so get cracking if you need to!

I would also love to hear from you if are prepared to make a bike available to a trustworthy rider
who may wish to enter but doesn’t have a machine. We may have some support from the UK as
well as I made contact with some folk there who undertook to publicise the run.

Despite some of the political and other challenges our country faces right now we still live in one
of the best places in the world to enjoy an old motorcycle so keep those wheels turning and enjoy
the season.

Until next month safe and happy motorcycling and good fellowship within our club.

Ian Holmes.

EDITORIAL

This edition of Kickstart has a distinct Velocette bias. This has little to do with the fact the Editor
recently acquired a Velocette and more to do with the recent Velocette reunion and the report
back from participants. Although the reunion is not a VMC event, friends of Velocette are always
welcome, and this should include most members of VMC.

If anyone is particularly interested this marque, visit the VOC homepage, hosted by POMC
(www.pomc.co.za) and download their newsletters. Or speak to Kevin Robertson.

Next month we hope to feature a trip that Brandon Jarvis made to Lesotho. This will no doubt
have a KTM theme. Not all is lost though, for we also hope to publish further motorcycle exploits
of Eddie Germiquet, this time on a Triumph Speed Twin.

WELCOME TO NEW MEMBERS
Editor

We welcome the following members:
Dylan Bartram, son of Graham Bartram.
Richard Austin, a country member and friend of Dave Watson.

Molly Watson, well known to us has re-joined as a family member.

PAST EVENTS

The DJ Remembrance Parade was held on 24 September, departing from The James Hall Transport
Museum and returning to the same venue for a short service conducted by Eddie Germiquet. Tea,
Coffee and snacks were provided by James Smith on behalf of the Friends of the Museum.

This event, first held in 2007 is intended to remember past DJ riders. Attendance has fallen off in
the later years as it has not been well promoted. The committee has undertaken to address this
issue, get the records up to date and plan future events well in advance. Although no fee was
levied this year, it is the intention to charge a small fee to cover the cost of plaques and a donation
to the Friends of the Museum.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Fairest Cape Tour
If you do only one rally a year, this is the one to do. It is held in the winelands of the Western Cape
and will run from 12th to 14th November. See www.cvmc.co.za for more details.

Ride in Memory
On the 3rd December 2017. This is the last VMC ride of the year and normally has a good turnout.
If you have not done this ride before, consider doing it this year. Some of us meet in
Modderfontein, then ride out to Bapsfontein where we meet the East Rand and/or Pretoria
contingent, after which we head off for breakfast. We will keep you updated with further details.

Kenjara Run
On 10th December 2017. This is a VVC event and VMC members are most welcome. It is a well
supported fun run with a good lunch included. Pre-booking is essential as there are limited spaces.
Contact Brian Lawlor (bjclawlor@cinet.co.za) for more information.

DJ Rally
This is the highlight event of our calendar. The next event will be held on 9th and 10th March 2018.
The regs are out so get your entry in early. Also consider doing the pre-DJ in February. This is an
event organized by CMC and is a good opportunity to blow out the cobwebs.

CLUB NIGHT -25 September 2017
Ian Storer

Due to the meeting being held on a public holiday only 17 people managed to attend. Apologies
received from Mike ward, Brandon Jarvis, Stuart Cunninghame amongst others. However it turned
out to be fun. Ian Holmes as Vice Chairman (and barman!) opened the evening with notices of up
members’ health and upcoming events plus reports on past events.

There was a report of there being 600+ bikes/scooters/cars all setting out on the ‘Distinguished
Gentleman’s ride’ taking place in the field next to the VVC car park. Rob Patterson-Emms told his
tale of acquiring his circa 1941 BSA M20 barn find formally owned by the General Hertzog family.
It has been left in its ‘natural state’ the only ‘new’ piece being the period petrol tank being
installed. Rob has just to work on it to get it running

Ian Holmes then told us of his experience at the Manx TT in the Isle of Man. His astonishment of
how hospitable the people were, the many events and attractions experienced, the variance of
motorcycles, from Ariel’s to Zundaps and back again, all the characters he met. Sounds like a trip
every motorcycle enthusiast should have on their ‘Bucket lists’

KICKSTART OCTOBER 2017 - Vintage Motorcycle Club
If one has DSTV available then try and catch ‘Classic TT’ on the sports or ignition channel for more
visuals. Another good channel is ‘Jay Lenno’s Garage. He often has veteran and more up to date
and weird bikes on this show.

Please tell us what you want out of a club night, and we as a committee will try and oblige

MY LICENSE AND REGISTARTION EXPERIENCE FOR MAC 1436
Mark Broady

One would think that getting a 1935 Velocette up and running after 30 odd years in storage would
be quite an exercise. But being a Velocette, (fondly known to its owner as MAC 1436), she fired up
first kick. It would not be fair to forget to mention that this happened under the knowledge and
experience of Kevin Robertson, the Velocette whisperer.

                                           Kevin at “work”

Anyway, this story is about a far more daunting exercise with no reasonable mechanical solution:
Registration and Licensing. I knew that the payments were not up to date. So, armed with a very
outdated Registration document, and stubbornness to go through the process myself, I made my
first trip to the license department to find out what needed to be done. They confirmed with a
neat print out that the bike had de-registered by default, and was in my late father’s name as per
the outdated registration documents. What they explained seemed relatively easy. Go to
Langlaagte, get police clearance, and then come back again. It was August 4th.

At Langlaagte it is a little daunting at first. You initially get flogged by salesmen trying to sell you
Veridot deals, or photo packages. As it turns out, you need to take one of the Veridot deal guys up
on their offer. This happens across the street where 3 or 4 operators want your business. You pay

KICKSTART OCTOBER 2017 - Vintage Motorcycle Club
about R550 for a bike, and the salesman gets a small spotters fee. The guy behind me with a Vespa
paid R800, so it pays to bargain a little. You could also go to a Veridot centre elsewhere in JHB.

Back at the police clearance area, you fill in the horrible copy of a copy of a copy application form,
submit along with a few other documents and wait your turn. This can take 30 to 240 mins. When
my turn came, we very quickly established that the registered frame number on the system was a
duplicate of the engine number, and not the actual frame number. Problem.

For most people at this point you would get your clearance and move onto weigh bridge. For me it
was the beginning of a much longer adventure. The logic for me is that at the time when my dad
or the owner before him did the registration, the authorities just didn’t bother to look for a frame
number, and so just used the engine number, or it was common practice to use the engine
number for both. However, “the system” doesn’t understand plausible reasoning, and I was faced
with a number of options. I could stamp the engine number on the frame somewhere and no-one
would have been too concerned. But I wanted it to be right. I could have the police create a special
frame number and stamp it on. But I didn’t like the sound of that. Finally, I could leave it as is and
introduce the bike to the system as a “rebuild”, knowing that the SAVVA dating certificate was
more important than the registration details.

I left to go and write up an affidavit to explain the situation and visited a police station to stamp
my affidavits. After a 2nd visit to Langlaagte, Vincent captured the actual frame number on “his
system” and sent me back to Randburg License department to have the frame number updated on
“that system”. I must say the Randburg License department is in relatively good shape. It’s busy
but organised, and the waiting times are not excessive. Considering mine was a special case, I was
sent to room 104 to see Derek. Here I was told that the staff can only capture information and all
cases are reviewed centrally at the department of transport. I had to make a few visits before
Derek was satisfied that we were submitting enough information about the case*. We scanned
and saved 21 pages before submitting. (Only for none of it to be actually read by the central
office).

 After a few weeks, my case had been reviewed. They came and stated that the case had been
submitted under the wrong category. By this stage Derek was on leave and Lolo took over. But
Lolo was a trainee, so thankfully a very knowledgeable supervisor, Rhubina, stepped in. She re-
scanned all 21 pages (which are not saved on “the system” longer than 7 days), and re-submitted.
Luckily, after only a week, my case had been reviewed and returned, and I had to go back to
Langlaagte for police clearance.

*Proof of residence, affadavits, dads death certificate, letter of executorship, registration
document, ID, Police clearance part 1, weigh bridge certificate, dating certificate, Veridot
certificate to name a few

KICKSTART OCTOBER 2017 - Vintage Motorcycle Club
This gent has been working at the Randburg weigh bridge for over 40 years

At Langlaagte, we realised that the effort to submit the 21 pages was in vein as the same neat
print out came with the engine number as frame number. At this point I decided to give in. I
realised that although the staff at the licensing department and department of transport want to
help in general, they actually don’t know how to deal with cases which are not mainstream. After
a discussion with Vincent, who was now truly feeling my pain, he suggested that he just go ahead
and put the actual frame number in “the police system” again, and see if it rejects or not. He
wanted to give it a try and phone his supervisor in Pretoria, but unfortunately the power was out
so we had to leave it there.

Two days later I got a call from Vincent to say that he had spoken to his supervisor and submitted
the frame number and it had been accepted. I couldn’t believe it but it was true and meant I was
now able to go back to Randburg and finally complete the registration. Derek did this for me. After
a roadworthy the bike is now fully registered and licensed in my name, with the correct and
original frame number!

It is now October.

What I’ve learned since is that I could actually get a special limited use license and pay less than
the R192/ year for license fees. I got the application form. Maybe I’ll wait till the new year to
submit.

                                                  10
Success at last! Vincent and I at Langlaagte. Derek and Lolo at Randburg Licensing dept

VELO REUNION 2017 BY A FRIEND OF VOC
Dave Watson

Just back from another trip to my favourite place Eastern Free State. This week end past was the
Velocette reunion run to Fouriesburg, where owners and friends of owners are very welcome. The
plan was to meet my son Douglas in Clarens and stay over with friends (test drive the new guest
room) on the Friday afternoon. Plans were all laid I leave work in Johannesburg at noon on Friday
– Douglas leaves a meeting in Pietermaritzburg at about 1:30, also on the Friday. We plan to meet
in Clarens at the Grouse & Claret for a drink at 5:30 then off to our friends. Good plan! Well I was
on track and Douglas was late, very late, no message I was desperate, not sure if he had fallen off
or worse. I finally gave up at nightfall and went to our overnight stop with my hands shaking and a
feeling of helplessness that is hard to describe. I dare not alert the family as this would simply add
to the worry. Then almost in answer to constant prayer Douglas called to say that he was stopped
near the top of Oliviershoek pass by a twenty wheeler that had turned over and jammed itself into
the one side the cliff face and on the other side the Armco barrier! Pass closed.

 Douglas with low cell phone battery messaged home to explain, asking that I be told of the delay
– unfortunately the message was not noticed for more than an hour. Douglas had to back track
through Bergville to the N3 and go to Harrismith via van Reenen’s pass. He called me to let me
know what had happened and was surprised that I had not been informed. He said it was now
dark and raining heavily. I said find accommodation get a good night’s sleep and we can have
breakfast in Clarens and link up with the Velocette lads in the morning. The relief of finding out he
was unhurt, will remain one of the best bits of news I have ever received! An early wet ride for
Douglas to Clarens next morning and we joined the Velocette riders for coffee.
                                                 11
Now back on track with the reunion we set about enjoying the remainder of the programme which
included a ride/drive (some heavy rain and lightning) to lunch in the historic Park Hotel in
Bethlehem

Visiting this hotel is like a trip back into the past with pressed steel ceilings and overhead fans with
blades that looked as if they could be fitted as propellers to a light aircraft and be successful! The
furniture and decor was mid 1950’s and I noticed in a corner a Hammerstein radio and
gramophone - took my mind back to another era and fond memories of playing LP’S on a similar
unit made by Philips.

After a light lunch and some fellowship reminiscing about past rides and ones to come, it was back
to Fouriesburg with the prospect of another ride into the surrounding picturesque country side.
Then it was time to watch Rugby. Not a match we were looking forward to, with the last effort
against New Zealand fresh in our memories – this game did surprise even the most critical pundits
of the game. As it went one way and another with the visitors winning by a single point in 50! The
Boks may not have won but they gave an excellent account of themselves.

The day ended with a super dinner with all the fun and games of the traditional quiz and some
awards too for those intrepid Velocette riders who keep the flag flying by bringing out some
wonderful examples of this much loved motorcycle. We don’t all own one but I can say without
fear of contradiction we all appreciate them. And that goes for their friendly owners who invite
friends to join them on these fun reunions. The weather was not ideal – but the land needs the
rain and a good time and some fun riding made up for it.

Finally on Sunday morning after a good breakfast at the Fouriesburg Country Inn (and an extra ride
or two) we said our farewells to return to our respective homes. Thank you to Kevin Robertson for
the slick organization-hoping to do it all again next year.

                               A Velo anticipating a great ride ahead

2017 VELOCETTE OWNERS CLUB 25th ANNUAL REUNION
Kevin Robertson

32 Velo enthusiasts (guys and dolls) arrived at the Fouriesburg Country Inn on the Friday afternoon
of 6 October to enjoy another annual re-union. This was the 15th time we had gathered at
Fouriesburg. There were 16 Velos, a Triumph Bonneville, a 600 Ducati Pantah and a couple of RS
BMW’s making up the happy band of classic bikers, all looking forward to enjoying the Eastern
Free State roads and scenery on the Saturday. Happily, some of the riders enjoyed a quick burn on
the Friday afternoon, they must have had a reliable weather forecast….

Saturday morning dawned wet and cold and the early ride to Clarens for coffee turned into a car
outing for most, nevertheless a couple of hardy souls showed us that bikers can ride in any
weather. We were met in Clarens by Dave and Douglas Watson on their BM’s, Dave having ridden
down from Johannesburg and Douglas up from Durban (see Dave’s story).

Returning to Fouriesburg for breakfast, the weather improved and we lined up the Velos in front
of the Inn for a photographic session prior to setting off on a lunch ride to Bethlehem. However, as
the departure time approached, so did the arrival time of the thick black storm clouds over
Bethlehem. Shall we risk it? Most of the riders opted for cars, but again, several real bikers tackled
the weather and in spite of getting wet, joined the sissies at the beautiful old Park Hotel for an
excellent lunch.

Murphy’s weather-law came into operation as we returned to Fouriesburg and the rain cleared,
leaving time for a quick ride down to the Lesotho border post before joining the rest of the Inn in
the TV lounge to watch the Springboks nearly pull off a surprise win over the All Blacks.

The traditional sheep-braai in the Lapa of the Inn took place on Saturday evening, where our
Witbank members started proceedings by organizing the annual quiz, only this time, they put 10
Velo components in sealed bags and teams of three had to identify the items by feel. Much
discussion and merriment followed, especially as one of our members had donated enough wine
to keep glasses full on all the tables. It was then time for the annual awards, for the best Velo
restoration at the re-union (Phil White memorial trophy) and the most desirable Velo at the re-
union (Sholto Rothbart shield). Roland Nancekivell’ s beautiful 1936 MSS took the best restoration
while Henry Nichol’s 1958 Viper was voted the most desirable. Incidentally, for the umpteenth
time, Henry rode the Viper from his home on the East Rand to the re-union and back and for the
umpteenth time, the Viper gave him a trouble-free and safe ride.

More Murphy’s weather-law on Sunday morning with not a cloud in sight. Happily, several riders
anticipated this and were up at the crack of sparrow for a superb ride to Clarens and back before
breakfast. Fond farewells after breakfast saw another Velo re-union come to an end.

                                                 13
After 15 re-unions in Fouriesburg and in spite of the excellent roads and scenery, many of our
members feel it is time for an alternative venue and roads. Added to this was the increased cost of
the stay at the Inn, which has been upgraded over the past year. We will therefore be researching
possible alternative venues for the 2018 re-union, taking into account that while the majority of
our members come from Gauteng, we do have Eastern Cape and KZN members whose travelling
costs also need to be considered.
