Sayonara to David Hammer
Our dear friend and avid VJMC Member David Hammer is departing Sunny Florida for Salt Lake City, Utah. This ride is to give him a Florida Style sendoff. The intent is that after he arrives in Utah and the first snow moves in he will wonder – what in the hell did I do!
But the ulterior motive is that the following summer Julie and I plan to go visit David . There he will give us a guided tour of the 5 National Parks and other noteworthy sights.
Join us as we give David a bon voyage he will always remember.

REGISTER NOW
The Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club of North America would like to invite all our members and friends to join us June 24 to 26, 2021 for our Annual VJMC Rally. The Rally will be held at the Eisenhower Hotel & Conference Center, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania adjacent to the Gettysburg Battle Field and National Park.
Our Rally theme will be an American Civil War Experience.
Gettysburg National Military Park – protects and interprets the landscape of the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg during the American Civil War. Located in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, the park is managed by the National Park Service. The GNMP properties include most of the Gettysburg Battlefield, many of the battle’s support areas during the battle, and several other non-battle areas associated with the battle’s “aftermath and commemoration”, including the Gettysburg National Cemetery. Many of the park’s 43,000 American Civil War artifacts are displayed in the Gettysburg Museum and Visitor Center.
The Battle of Gettysburg is generally regarded as the turning point of the war and has probably been more intensively studied and analyzed than any other battle in U.S. history.
During our Rally there will be opportunities for tours, motorcycle ride rides, horse drawn carriage rides and walks through the park. We hope you will take the time to immerse yourself in to one of America’s historic moments.
Tentative agenda includes variety of rides, social dinners (Thursday, Friday and Saturday), motorcycle show and more.
