General Discussion / From the same deck?
Last post by steffinwolf - April 14, 2016, 01:09:20 PMMy Dad was a member of the Four Aces MC back in the early fifties. That's me getting ready to ride, and me with Dad on his BSA with an Ariel tank, ca 1956/57.
Dad and a good friend of his, Handy King, rode around Los Angeles/Hollywood/Burbank areas mostly. He went to the races on Catalina Island and elsewhere.
My question: Is this the same club?
My father's name is Robert Steffin, he would have been in his twenties while a Four Aces Member, from early 1950's ('51 or '52?) until 1958/59.
I just talked with my Mom, she tells me she has my Dad's AMA 2nd & 3rd year pins and a couple of photos taken at the 1957 Catalina Grand Prix race. They went to the races at the Riverside Road track and the Flat Track races at the Gardena and Culver City tracks.
She has a hat that Dad stuck his pins onto, including the AMA's as noted above and one from a Four Aces Moose Run (she can't read the year).
His best friend/fellow rider was a gentleman named Handy King, his wife was Linda. Handy rode a Triumph. When we were kids, back in the late sixties, we would go visit them at their house in Burbank.
One time Dad and Handy were out riding on San Fernando road, near the Warner Brothers Studios, and were waiting at a traffic light when the second car back the one directly behind them. that car in turn, hit them both, throwing them off their bikes. She thinks this is when the BSA was damaged (later Dad replaced tank with an Ariel unit).

Is anybody planning to race or watch Last Dog Standing?
How about 10-Hour Glen Helen.
Prospect Darrell was looking to check these out and see if anybody from the club would be there.
We will be there Friday night.
I will be setting up pits and trying to stay awake all night and sleep as much during the day as possible.
Teri will be up during the day watching The Last Dog.
The Four Aces EZ-UP will be up in the pits.

Motorcycles at Ventura next Saturday (October 4). They are running a variety of classes: Flat Track, Speedway. They aren't doing a motocross track, but they are having the stock motocross bike on flat track class. I'm not interested in racing the flat track. But I might go to spectate.
Anybody interested?
I might go if you are. Keep me informed.
Hmm Maybe....
Post up if your going.
Maybe I'll see if the 450R will start and race a couple laps.....

Oh.....
I wonder if I got into the pits if I could barrow a bike from someone.... I've never crashed one of those bikes
Remember, they have no brakes. So that might help you crash.
