2012 Valley Forge Trail Rider's Banquet! February 11th, 2012 at The East Greenville Fire Company Banquet Hall

Big Daddy hisownself! Da Boss! Rick Kivela!

Jamie and Lynn Theurkauf. Lynn's trying to remember how to spell her last name if asked. It's just not that easy!

Cris and Lisbeth Nauta. Their names give it all away. These two are exceptional people!

Be careful kids. This is the real cookie monster! Kenny Ettinger! He's only holding the vegies to be thought politically correct.

Bonnie and Jerry all the way from downtown Effort, Pa just for the banquet. Jerry was excited before he left but then the tunnel was closed and the bridge was out and the roads were unpaved and the flood waters rose, and then the mule threw a shoe and they had to hitchhike on the back of a fertilizer wagon to get to the banquet hall. Then it snowed before they left. But Jerry finishes what he starts! Bonnie only sticks around to see what's coming next.

What would a party be without Cheryl and Greg? A real shindig!

Our illustrious chaperon, Glenn "Hersh" Hershey! Always the right-thinking influence, Glenn said "NO!" to the exotic dancers, the carnival, and the free flowing booze for the banquet. I think his exact words were, "What if they missed religious services Sunday morning because of the demon rum? How would we, as a club, ever hold our heads high at the ECEA meetings?"

The vote was 62 to 1...who cares what happens at the ECEA meetings!

Those wonderful companies and people who parted with their hard-earned cash to support VFTR. Not an easy thing to do in this economy. Thank you all!

This is a very rare picture! Bob Hale ALONE. Mike is nowhere around. You've got to admit, that's a pretty rare picture. It's not an exceptionally rare picture though. An exceptionally rare picture is Bob without Mike and without his Corona. That's just plain unheard of!

This is not Eric, or Frank, or George, or Dominick, or Alvin. But you can pick from any name you like since I've totally forgotten. But I'm still doing okay. That's a KTM in the foreground. One outta two ain't bad. Actually I recognize more than that. In the background there's a wall and a curtain hiding a picture of Saddam Hussein, and a Scott's Powersports banner. It's him I have no clue about. Next year, if we're lucky, we'll get name-tags.

Our Competition Chairman and Dave Bohrer. Scratch that, it's our Competition Chairman Dave Bohrer, and his lovely wife.

Big Rob and the real boss of the family, Amy! In case you're wondering, Rob's left arm is weak. Here, Amy does double duty as a support stand. She also does a mean version of Bill Withers 1972 classic "Lean On Me." Amy's mother used to sing her to sleep.

Alice, scratch that...Alicia, scratch that...Miranda, nope that's not it...oh yeah! Amanda and P. J. hanging out. It's rumored they like each other.

Jim and Kim Tevis

Jamie Wright and another admirer. When you're the fast gun in town and you're buying you'd be surprised at the number of friends you have.

Jeff Macknik, Sr, and Jeff Macknik, Jr. Senior Jeff is a great asset to the club...Junior Jeff is a great example of perseverance and toughness to everyone.

The family Mackniks. Great people!

Eric Sague

Dave Sague, dad and a classic example of "do as I say, not as I do" and Eric, son and a classic example of "I love you Dad, and I want to be like you, but I hate helicopter rides."

The brothers Hale - Bob and Mike

The McDonnells - Courtney and Pat

Frank - I wish I'd been more studious when I asked his significant other her name. I blame it on Old Timer's disease. It was either that or Big Daddy and Big Daddy gets enough blame already.

In VFTR this guy is know as Handsome Dave Hallett. Watch your girls, guys.

Tups a.k.a. Tom "Wheeler-Dealer" Wheeler!

George "I just came for the goodies" Fetterman drove from Shamokin, Pa to be at the East Greenville Fire Company Banquet Hall tonight. What the heck were you thinking, George? Do you wear the hat to hide the lobotomy scars?

John Schoeffling and his beautiful wife. John is one of the VFTR sponsors, VFTR fast guys, and someone you should support. Replace all your plastic piping with copper piping approved by Honda, Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha, KTM and other motorcycle brands. John will make it trick.

Kevin Kamuca - the quickest smile in town!

Sam and Lynn Finney!

There is nothing like Jos ANYWHERE! Boy, are we lucky to have him. He was rushed by twelve other, lesser, motorcycle clubs but he chose VFTR! He's smart too! Isn't that self-evident?

So, I asked George if he was ready to have his picture taken. He said yes, so I took it. Never say yes before you think about it or someday there'll be a picture of your nasal hair on the Internet.

Something a little more traditional for George. You eventually have to soothe the savage beast. I got off lightly. Is that okay, George? Did I do it all right?

Tanner Barnhardt. He's happiest on a dirt bike.

VFTR's resident display guru's Evan and Glenn.

After 30+ years of trying, we finally did it! The 2010 ECEA Enduro of the Year Award.

Once, thought, is never enough. The 2011 ECEA Enduro of the Year award. Tune back in in 2013 to see the 2012 ECEA Enduro of the Year award!

Sam Finney and George Fetterman had there eyes on those tires all night...

Goodies!

This is not a mug shot or a passport photo of Evan Yarnall. You can't smile in either a mug shot or a passport photo. Ed Theurkauf told us that.

Pete....and if I really knew what I was doing I'd know his last name. But who can blame me? With a great smile like Pete's you start to forget everything else.

Yum-yum good!

Jamie Theurkauf, always looking for a way to help the club baked these muffins between episodes of "Planting Petunias for a Living." Thanks again, Jamie!

Trevor, also known as Oaks occasionally, and Rick also referred to as Big Daddy, are not wanted by the police in 22 states! An amazing record to say the least!

Shelly, the only person in the world to keep some semblance of control over Trevor. I'm pretty sure she even likes him sometimes.

If you can see beyond the reflection of their bright smiles this is Pete and his incredible wife.
