CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
We were saddened to learn that past VMC member Robin Hollis had
passed away on 10th June. A memorial service held for Robin at St
Patrick’s Church, Benoni, was well attended by family and friends including
many past and present DJ riders. A younger brother of Gerald Hollis, Robin
rode in twelve consecutive DJs, 1987 to 1999, with two excellent finishes –
ninth in 1993 and sixth in 1995.
Robin joins the list of DJ personalities to be honoured in next year’s DJ
Remembrance Run.
This year’s Remembrance event was run on 12th June and there were 26
participants each riding for past DJ riders and whose names have now
been added to the DJ Wall of Remembrance. It was gratifying that the
families of several past riders were present and who brought floral tributes
to place on the Wall. It was altogether a warm and pleasant gathering.
Yours, in good riding,
MICHAEL MS

May Club Night
There was a good turnout for our monthly Club Night and Mike started the
proceedings in the usual way with an update on recent happenings. The
Fragram Natal Classic Rally was the most recent and once again our
members put in fine performances. The event was won by Kevin Robertson
on his Honda Black Bomber with Ric Lewis second on his DJ Sunbeam
and then Gavin’s: Walton and Lumley. Of the first ten positions eight were
VMC Members.
Richard Sawkins, organizer of the Fragram Natal Classic, Barbara Sink, who
presented the prizes and the Winner, Kevin Robertson, holding the historic Eric
Stanton Trophy.
The Chairman also reported on a good turnout of motorcycles at the Piston
Ring Meeting on the 15th May, and reminded the meeting that motorcycles
had also been invited to the VVC for Sunday 30th May. He further advised
that sponsorship for two motorcycles to the Concours at Nairobi had been
forthcoming.

Kevin Robertson was again awarded the Motorcyclist of the Month Trophy
for his win in the Natal event. The Personality Quiz in the last issue of
Kickstart was won by Jens Brehm. Mike reminded the meeting of the DJ
Remembrance Ride on the 12th June at the James Hall Museum and has a
list of names for would be riders to choose from. Pierre Cronje reminded
the meeting of the CMC 1000 Bike Show on 2nd/3rd July.
Steffan Stander informed the meeting of the Magnum Rally in August and
told us about the new locality for this near Hazyview in Mpumalanga.
Dave Pitchford then showed us a new type of fire extinguisher which had
become available and was very suitable for motorcycles because of its size
and lightness. Details are available on the website www.firestrykersa.co.za
Martin and Edna Davis had recently returned from a trip to Ireland and
Martin gave us a fascinating account of their experiences in that
economically depressed but very beautiful part of the world. This was
followed by Mike Davidson who told us about his recent visit to the Triumph
factory at Hinckley as well as one to the new Norton works where modern
machines are again being painstakingly built. Mike was extremely fortunate
in meeting the founder of the modern Triumphs and his son who is the MD
of the business.
Triumphs are now being made in vast numbers while the Norton operation
is still on a much smaller scale. He also recommended a visit to the
Imperial War Museum at Duxford where some amazing aircraft displays are
to be seen.
Winners in the raffle were Gavin Walton, Erhard Langanke, Peter Posniak,
Kevin Robertson, Warwick Manning, Steve Trehair, Brandon Madgwick,
Henry Watermeyer, Pierre Cronje and newcomer Richard Hulbos.
The headcount was 57.

Remembrances:
Gloria Anderson joined us on our Remembrance day and brought along
this picture of her father, Jack Lane, for whom Colin Anderton was riding.
Jack Lane was unplaced on an Ariel in the 1929 DJ then switched to this
1929 492cc s/v Sunbeam. On this machine he came 17th in 1930 and 10th
in 1931. The four trophies shown may be from races other than the DJ but
we are unable to recognise them. We would be very glad to hear from any
reader who can identify any of the trophies and the motorcycle shop in the
background.
Happily, we were able to contact Ian Thompson shortly before the Ride
and he was able to join in and ride for his father, Dick Thompson, on
Dick’s well-known 1929 Scott Flyer. Other members of Dick’s family were
also there.
6
Gloria Broady and her two daughters came to attend the ceremony and
saw the plaque for her late husband, Barry Broady placed on the Wall of
Remembrance by Brian Wright, who rode for Barry.
We were also pleased to be joined by family members of past DJ riders
whose names were honoured in previous years. These included Diane
Taschner and her son, Warren. We also welcomed Alan Sarkis, a
grandson of the famous Joe Sarkis, whose name had been added to the
Remembrance Wall in 2008.
The 2012 Club Calendar:
Les Sim is worried that we might not be able to produce the Club’s pictorial
calendar for next year. The reason is that, at this stage of the planning, we
should have all the advertisers and sponsors signed up for next year.
So we are again appealing to past advertisers and any willing participants
to contact Les (Cell 082 552 4072) and arrange for the support that he
needs. All the calendars we have previously produced are absolute gems
as well as becoming collector’s items and it would be a shame if we all
miss out next year.
My Century Run
By Henry Watermeyer
I greatly enjoyed the Andy Stead story about the Century Run but since it
fails tell us about the run itself, I thought a brief follow up was needed.
Since the venue moved from the Lion Park I have trailed my machine to the
start. An extra quarter hour plus the need to refuel on the way makes
riding unattractive and I persuade my wife she doesn't need the tow car for
the day.
Anyway I arrived in the rain to find quite a large group milling around as is
usual. Not as many bikes down at the circle and a lot of muttering going
on.
I registered with Rob Patterson-Emms and elected to ride the long route.
Rob's comment "There are only two of you, Ric Lewis and yourself, are you
sure?". Both Sunbeams!! Was there any choice? Of course I was sure.
7
Eventually got the route schedule into my rallybox without getting it too wet
to read. Normally I don't bother on the Century.
As I was preparing to leave a posse of individuals, led by Philip Gordon,
asked if they could follow me as they had decided to do the long route after
all but couldn't manage the route schedules.
Off we went. Still raining, which makes the bike go better. Remember how
water injection to improve engine performance back in the '50s.
Got 5 km only to be stopped by incredulous traffic police at a bicycle race.
Now those riders were wet and muddy and the cops were bemused by both
motor cycles and cyclists.
Followed the route just fine but got very confused until I realised that the
kilometres given were not distances from the start but distance between
clues. Eventually saw Ric and Kevin Robertson, who had changed his
mind after telling his wife that in the interest of safety and he would only do
the short run, on his "first outing" Manxman, coming towards me otherwise
no-one. My tail were apparently somewhere behind me, although I
understand they were having trouble keeping up.
A lonely ride - but what fun. I haven't had a really fast ride in the wet for a
long time. Nice road surfaces. Must have even hit the speed limit once or
twice! Great.
Only one real, very small, criticism. Would it not be possible to have a real
Start instead of the rather loose arrangement of go when you are ready and
then have a proper Finish point. Most of us return and ride straight onto
our trailers, if we came that way, before walking down to the pub. Kind of
feels unfinished somehow. Be nice to have a "foot down" stop somewhere.
The buffet meal afterwards has to be one of the best in Jo'burg. Lots of
options all well prepared and at a price that just makes no sense. Thank
you Rob and Mike. Great run. See you all there next time.
Henry Watermeyer

PS One of the disadvantages of using a trailer was the puncture I got on the
way home.

Report back Ndot meeting held on 10th June 2011 re Left Hand Drive Legislation
Gary Ronald (AA & SAVVA), Ian Huntley (SAMCA) and myself (SAVVA) attended a meeting on 10 th June with the
Director NDoT, Chairperson of VTC committee and an official of ENATIS regarding our LHD report and proposal that
was put forward. It was an interesting and constructive meeting but unfortunately no definite conclusion to all our
concerns. It has however given us a little more insight into the position from their perspective and a partial
solution.
The Chairperson has made it quite clear that there was no intent to prevent anyone from registering their vehicles
- provided the vehicle was registered in S.A. prior to the 24th July 2004. However the Act was introduced for the
express purpose of STOPPING the import of any further LHD vehicles into S.A. and they have no intention of revisiting this point therefore it seems that any vehicle not registered in SA prior to this date will not be able to
registered and roadworthy.
The committee has agreed to scrutinize the Act and confer with the legal department to ascertain the exact
interpretation to order to clarify the point as to whether vehicles previously registered and then canceled or deregistered for any reason may or may not be re-registered and roadworthy. Some appear to interpret the act to
include these vehicles while others may exclude them. However if a vehicle was previously registered the owner
must have the following: Engine number
Chassis number
Previous registration number
Cancelations / de-registration papers
In order for this committee to assist us it is vitally important that we co-operate with them.
If you have any or all of the above it is imperative that you send these to me so as to establish if your vehicle is
on the ENATIS system. It was demonstrated to us that all these old numbers are in fact captured on the system
and can be found if the vehicles were registered. If your vehicle is on the system there is a good chance that you
will be able to continue with the process. This applies to all those who registered their vehicles through the SAVVA
web-site between January and April.
Please submit your information without delay as I will be sending a spread sheet of all this information by the end
of July. This only applies to LHD vehicles NOT registered!
Kind regards, Peter Hall.
Peter also informs us on Periodic Testing and
the “S” licence as follows:
Also on the agenda and discussed was the original proposal regarding the PERIODIC TESTING - as you may
remember that on behalf of SAVVA I proposed that Vintage vehicles be tested every five years. This has not yet
been finalized however it appears that there is serious consideration to exclude Vintage vehicles from the periodic
9
testing all together. Once the decision and finalization of this point is reached I will pass the information on
immediately.
The 'S' license also is not finalized at this point and once again you will be kept informed as to the outcome.
I hope that the information allows you all to feel a little more optimistic, as I do – The Director has also requested
that I keep her informed and assured me that we can deal with her directly via e-mail. Gary will attend the next
VTC meeting on SAVVA’s behalf to be held on 22 & 23rd June as the Director will be raising the issue.
It is important to note that the Automobile Association of S.A. have joined SAVVA and agreed to be our
representative for all DOT meetings country wide. This means that they have access to more than just
one of the committees and will be in a position to follow various proposals as they are discussed. The
A.A. will present our proposals as and when necessary and have an interest in assisting our cause. I
would like to take this opportunity of welcoming the AA and Gary Roland who will be representing
SAVVA. As soon as we have any responses I will immediately inform the clubs as well as those on the
LHD register.
Yours in Motoring

RE: MAGNUM MOTOR CYCLE AND MOTOR CAR RALLY - 2011
Dear Competitor
As we have been rallying on the Badplaas area roads for many years (and know where
every path and pothole is) we have decided to change our venue to the Hazyview
Protea Hotel for the 2011 Magnum.
Our annual Magnum Rally will be staged as follows:
Documentation: Wednesday, 17th August 2011
Time trial:
Thursday, 18th August to Saturday, 20th August 2011
Departure:
Sunday,
21st August 2011
Accommodation:
Our venue will comprise of hotel rooms with two double beds in each room plus en suite
bathrooms (only showers, no baths) in all rooms. Only two persons per room are
allowed. Family rooms (parents and small children), with the same beds plus a sleeper
couch are available.
Meals
No self catering facilities are available.
Breakfasts (presented as from 06:30) and Wednesday supper are not included in the
meals organised by the Rally, but are available – for your own account - from the dining
room. Other facilities are available in Hazyview village (which is +- 7 kilometres from the
Hotel).
Coffee and rusks will be provided at the start. As in the past our midday meal will be
fairly early every day.
All room service orders and drinks from the bar are for your own account.
Earlier bookings
Arrangements, (at the same reduced accommodation fees as quoted for the actual
rally), have been made with the hotel for persons who want to possibly book in earlier,
or stay a while later and go touring and sight seeing. The secretary HAS to be informed
timeously re longer bookings.
Other facilities
Well equipped bar. At the end of every day’s run, drinks can be enjoyed on the patio
facing the pool, or the quad next to the bar.
Tennis courts.
Swimming pool.
It was with lots of thought, discussion and great trepidation that we took the plunge to
change the venue, but we do hope that the new routes, other scenery and unknown
potholes will inspire you to come and join us and make the run a pleasant event!
