Welcome our most recent member ...
Jon, #5478 - California! And, enjoy his beautiful Honda S90 in the photo above. One forgets just how pretty those earlier day machines really were ... Wow!
This one is a 1969 if I am correct, Jon also has a 1966 black S90. It was really hard to choose which one to feature here on the ThumperGarage.
Jon's membership application arrived at our FSSNOC mailbox just a few days ago. As is my long time habit, I always glance over the return addresses to preview who we are hearing from on that day and I do so with a level of anticipation that hasn't lessened over the years ... it's still great fun to hear from you, our FSSNOC members, new and long term!
But ... I must admit, I did a double-take when I read Jon's name and address! Why so?
Back in the day of my 30 years tenure with Al's Honda-Yamaha-Triumph here in ThumperVille, USA ... which ended in 1999 (January of 1970 - Oct. of 1999), Jon was our Honda Sales representative, one of several over the years ... however, to his considerable credit, he is the only one that I can still recall by name. He was a memorable guy and now, decades later, he is our latest FSSNOC member. Very cool, very cool, indeed!
And, as if that wasn't enough, I open my American Motorcycle Magazine (AMA - American Motorcyclist Ass'n), read it through, turn over to the Last Page ... there is Jon! Yes, in an article about the enactment of the early days of Honda when they set up shop in the USA back in 1959. Check it out...
I'm going to talk more about Honda S90s on the History Page, so when you are done here, slide by that page, okay?
again, welcome to the club, Jon! So glad to have you... #000

Jack, Sorry to say ... I will not be renewing my FSSNOC membership this year. I was able to make 2 events over the years (Bixby, MO and Centennial, WY) but my riding keeps me closer to home than it once did. And, honestly, the new annual membership fee is difficult to justify. I will continue to keep on thumpin; but an R.E. Himalayan will take the spot of my KLR650. And, horror of horrors, a 1967 CL77 (obviously a 2-cyl.) found its way to my garage recently.
Enjoy the backroads, ...Mike Kirn #5244
So sorry to see you go, Mike! ... but it was great fun having you for those ten years, 2023 would have been year #11. You did pick two really good events to attend, Bixby, Missouri is an awesome wide-spot in the crooked road, and Centennial, Wyoming? Oh yeah, that one was absolutely beautiful! Gosh, now that I think of it, I'm not sure we have ever had a "bad" gathering ... but I'm maybe bias? (grin)
Of note, Mike ... our FSSNOC gathering for 2023 is right smack dab in the middle of your riding world, would be an easy one to work into your schedule should you change your mind about renewing (hint) ... Ha! Ha! Couldn't help that one! We, of course, want you to stay onboard, but you knew that.
Also, you are eligible for one more edition of Thumper News, which should mail out soon... Best Wishes, Mike!! - #000.
P.S. And as you may have read above, I sold Hondas for a long time, Honda motorcycles are very near and dear to my dusty ole heart ... so yeah, enjoy that 305cc Honda Scrambler CL77 ... and, of course, I currently ride a Royal Enfield Himalayan myself, so don't hesitate to give me a shout if you'd enjoy a second opinion on your new ride ... turned over 21,000 miles on mine. Thump On! - #000.

Anamosa M/C Museum
The museum is closing, Jack! Low attendance is the cause, they say. They'll shut it down in Sept, I think....
Maynard, #1196 - CO.
(Reply) ... THANK YOU, Maynard, FOR THE HEADS UP ... and while this is bad news as received by many of us, the good news is that many of us did get to visit this remarkable enterprise, myself several times, including a couple of FSSNOC events in years past, never a disappointment!
It's in Anamosa, Iowa ... The National Motorcycle Museum
Check it out while we still can, eh? Hard to imagine it is closing but so goes the world...
Thank you for thinking of us, Maynard! - #000.
