Jefferson 2011's theme was 75 years of Knuckleheads and Knuckleheads came out of the woodwork! One of the most notable was Dave Minerva's original paint 36 EL. I have known this bike for decades and it was great to see it out again! There were tons of cool parts, great people, great bikes, adult beverages and food (I ate at least a dozen oyster sandwiches!). The area is great for riding old bikes and there is a state park right up the road. It's also about 15 miles from the Harley-Davidson Factory in York PA (where they were having an opened house last weekend).
The meet had somewhat of a solemn tone due to the passing of Steve Ciccalone just two weeks prior. Steve ran this meet flawlessly for many years and was sorely missed by all. The folks from the Chesapeake Chapter that inherited the task of pulling the meet together at the last minute did a great job...my hat is off to them all.
As has been the case for the last few years, the mud was abundant and proved challenging for some and pure enjoyment for others. The club backhoe was working non-stop pulling out vehicles and spreading stone. The mud was from the previous rainfall and the weather was actually great and the sun was out Thursday and Friday.
Jefferson remains one of my favorite AMCA meets of the year!

Jefferson 2011 - Marty's 1950 Pan TT
Front mounted mag, shaved cylinders with bolt on reinforcements
TT Oil side tank
Spaced up Trans
Marty brought out the 50 Pan TT he's been working on for the past year. Check out the abundance of cool shit that makes up this machine. Pay close attention to the cylinders and the reinforcements around the shaved bases. Other notables include the trans spaced up 1 1/4 for clearance, the front mounted chain drive mag the right side oil tank, etc. etc.
Man this thing runs strong!
Much more Jefferson 2011 to come...

A Taste of Jefferson 2011 - Knuckleheads!
Just returned from the Jefferson PA Meet. Lotsa mud, lotsa good times and lotsa Knuckleheads!! The theme was 75 years of Knuckleheads.
Above are pics of the most bazaar knuckle motor at the meet. A 1940 with some kind of aircraft(?) cylinders ...wild!
I have more Jefferson pics to blog later...taking the 50 Pan out for a cold rainy ride tonight...
