OBITUARY
Mr. Wayne Marsula died June 24, 2002. We were told he was involved
in a collision near the conclusion of a two-month tour of the U.S., visiting family
and friends on his PC800. The accident occurred in Washington State, 15 min-
utes south of his friend Hughes' home, just as he was starting his ride back to
San Diego. Wayne was a long-time VJMC member, and an active Field Repre-
sentative in Southern California. Our condolences go out to his family and all
his friends. Godspeed Wayne; you will be missed.

VJMC Member Profile: Rick Seto, Motorcycle Beginning
The first time I started to notice bikes would be in around the mid sixties. I was about 14 at this
time and my older brother had buddies with small Japanese bikes like S90s and CA95s. My sister had a
boyfriend who had a black YDS3 Yam with low bars. He moved up to a red YR1 Yam 350 which I thought
was great looking bike, and wickedly fast. My first ride was on the back of a black Super Hawk. I thought
this bike was the best thing going as it sounded great as he hammered it at around 6 grand. The first bike
I ever drove was my brothers 65 Yamaha 125 YA6 , I would get up at 6am just to start it up for him and
warm it up. Heck; we even drove that thing around in the basement one winter!
There were a lot more bikes on the roads in those days. The
big bikes, like the Nortons and the Triumphs were out there,
and we certainly lusted over them. But the majority of the
riders were on 305s or smaller. It seemed like you were
supposed to start on the small stuff like a 90 or a 100 and
then step up to the big 250 or305s. Around this time I started
buying all the Cycle magazines (it had the best pictures as
well as the Norton girls on the inside covers!). I memorized
all the different models and paid attention to all the
specifications; in particular which bike was the quickest in the
quarter. When I turned 16 my dad loaned me the money to
buy out of the showroom a 71 Honda CB350 in Derby green.
That summer I never got off that bike; I put on 6000 miles.
I noticed that the 350 was not really much of a

performance bike, and I wanted more of a thrill, so I traded it
in on a new 72 750 H2. Now the fun really began. The front
wheel was rarely on the ground and I loved the sound of that
bike. Unfortunately I had trouble keeping it in spark plugs and
it was a handful to maintain but the sheer thrill of trying to
stay on the bike when it was under power more than
made up for it's shortcomings.
After the H2 , I had a number of bikes like 73

XL250 , 72 and 73 CB350 , 80 400 Hawk , 82 GS750, I
took a break from bikes until the early 90s when I picked
up a basket S90. I found out about the VJMC and that
there were old bikes still out there. My collection started
to grow with a 70 H1, another S90,a C100, YM1, and
many more. I started being more involved with the club
representing first Ontario and then all of Canada. For
awhile, I was president. Now I share the Ontario duties
with Greg Peters, and assist the other Canadian
provinces in starting up chapters
I'm proud of our club, and to see where we have

come in 10 years is truly amazing. Interest is at a high
point and if we can all contribute in a small way, be it in
promoting the Club or writing articles for the Newsletter,
we can ensure that the club will prosper for many years to come.

7th Annual Illowa Motorsports Benefit Show
After a frustrating rain-out in May, local Iowa cycle shop owner and VJMC member Ed Ahlf
finally got to conduct his 7th annual vintage motorcycle show on June 1st. The show, which
includes a silent auction of motorcycle-related gear, is conducted each year for the benefit of
the Salvation Army Children's Camping Fund. The hit of the show was a well-preserved
1912 Thor motorcycle owned by Heritage Canyon, a local museum. Vigorous pumping by
Ray Eshelman, assisted on the carburetor and ignition by his son, Mike Eshelman, brought
the Thor to life, to the great delight of the crowd. Thanks to Ed Ahlf for extending a helping
hand to his community by bringing out a lot of beautiful old motorcycles for folks to enjoy.
