Motorcycle CannonballThe Yankee Chapter of The Antique Motorcycle Club of America is coming to the Springfield Motorcycle. We were happy to have the Yankee Chapter with us along with their fantastic display of vintage motorcycles. 

 

 

Meet Rich Correia

Rich rode the 2012 Motorcycle Cannonball race!  Come see Rich at the AMCA booth on Saturday with his 1925 Henderson DeLuxe.

Although Rich’s motorcycle brokedown during the race, he used quick thinking and MacGyver like Ingenuity to get his bike back on the road and make it in with a perfect score!

In addition to Rich Correia and his 1925 Henderson DeLuxe, you will also be able to see other great motorcycles of the past including  a Harley-Davidson JD, 65 Honda Dream, and 65 HD Sprint.

Here are a few words from the Yankee Chapter:

“The Yankee Chapter of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America is pleased to be back at the SMS.  The AMCA defines an antique as at least 35 years old (1976 and earlier).  This puts a wide variety of machines in the scope of the hobby.  Plenty of Japanese, European, and American models are available to ride, restore, and love.  The Yankee Chapter is the New England region chapter of the AMCA.  We have over 225 members. 

We host two shows a year, plus several riding weekends.  Here at Springfield we are promoting our meets in Rhinebeck NY and Hebron Conn.  These meets have plenty of vending, judging and riding.  Check out WWW.RHINEBECKNATIONALMEET.COM and WWW.YANKEECHAPTER.ORG, or you can contact the Yankee Chapter director by email at danmargolien@yahoo.com.”

1934 Zundapp Motorcycle

 

Antique motorcycles must be 35 years old, of any brand and nationality. You will find plenty of Harleys, Indians, BMW, and Triumph but some of the most interesting and beautiful are the unusual names that have been out of production for decades or little known in the USA: Zundapp, Henderson, Pope, ACE, BSA, Thor, among others. Prior to 1915 there were over 700 different brands in the USA.
