2025 Barber Vintage Festival, Leeds, AL 10/3-10/5
AMC Members compete at Barber National
Vintage bike enthusiasts were once again treated to beautiful fall weather for the 25th Annual Barber Vintage Festival, the largest event of the AHRMA national schedule. The Atlanta Motorcycle Club was well represented in motocross, cross country, trials and road racing competition with members taking several class wins and podium finishes.
Motocross
One of the best motocross tracks on the AHRMA circuit, riders were treated to a superbly prepped surface that held up well throughout the day. The track changed slightly from last year with the addition of a dog-leg loop on the downhill, which made the track a bit longer.
The following is a list of members and their results:
Jeff Fisher-1st Early Sportsman Stock 500
Graham Foster-1st Premier 500 Intermediate
Dave Kaufman-1st Premier Open Twins Intermediate
Andy Blackburn-1st Early Sportsman Stock 250 Expert, 2nd ESS 500 Expert, 2nd Classic 500 Expert
Henry Gregorich-4th 60+ Intermediate
Cross Country
On a course laid out by AMC members Jeff Fisher and Henry Gregorich, the cross country event was very well attended with over 50 riders competing in vintage and around 70 riding in the post vintage competition. Not only did AMC member Jeff Fisher win the 60+ Vintage Expert class, he finished first among all vintage riders on his BSA! Jeff then returned a bit later to finish 2nd overall in the Pre-Modern Open Expert Class. Henry Gregorich had a good ride on his KDX 200 with a second place in the Post Vintage 60+ Intermediate class while Beno Rodi finished third in the Premier Expert class.
Trials
Barber has always been one of the favorite trials venues on the AHRMA schedule, and this year's eight-section layout did not disappoint. AMC was well represented with Graham Foster taking the win in Premier Heavyweight Expert on his Ariel. Beno Rodi finished first on his Royal Enfield in Girder Expert and Henry Gregorich finished a strong third in the very competitive Modern Class Intermediate class on his TY175.
Road Racing
Bill Gould flew the banner for AMC in road racing with a 6th place finish in the Classic Sixties 650 class.
AMC Members Compete at Muddy Creek National 6/21
The Sun Finally Makes an Appearance!
This year was one of the wettest springs in the Southeast in recent history. This resulted in several events being postponed or cancelled, so riders were anxious to get back on the track to blow off the cobwebs.
AMC members Henry and Brenda Gregorich, Beno and Bonnie Rodi, and Andy Blackburn ventured to Blountville, Tennessee to ride in the AHRMA Muddy Creek national. They were treated to beautiful weather and a MX track that was well prepared, although the cross-country riders had to deal with a course that was still very muddy and slick.
The Muddy Creek staff always does a great job running off the race, and this weekend was no exception. Everyone seemed to be happy for the opportunity to ride their motorcycles in the sun.
Beno placed first in the 350 Premier Expert class on his trusty BSA. Henry finished fourth in a very competitive 60+ Intermediate class on this new Kawasaki KX. Andy placed first in both the 500 and 250 ESS Expert classes, and second in the Classic 500 Exprt class on his Maicos. +
AMC Chattahoochee National Forest Dual Sport Ride, April 5
AMC Members meet for Dual Sport Ride at TWO in Suches
On a beautiful April Spring morning several members of the Atlanta Motorcycle Club met at Two Wheels Only in Suches for a dual sport ride. Club member Bill Gould had mapped a route through the Chattahoochee National Forest that proved to be both fun and scenic. Unfortunately, Bill was not going to be able to ride due to injuries suffered in a road racing crash a few weeks prior. As a result, Bill’s son Joseph was there to pilot Bill’s 1969 BSA Firebird Scrambler on the ride. Other club members attending were Jeff on his KTM, Ken on his Husky, Beno on his Honda, Henry on his BMW and Andy riding his KTM.
When Henry arrived at TWO Friday evening, he noticed that his trailer had jettisoned a wheel due to a broken axle and so had to forgo the ride to make arrangements for the repair.
Armed with GPS tracks and maps provided by Bill- Jeff, Ken, Joseph, Beno and Andy set out on the Forest Service roads to the west. With the perfect spring weather people were everywhere-Jeeps, bicycles, horses, campers and many other motorcycles. Riders had to be alert and stay on the far right of the trails.
Before the lunch stop at Van Zant’s Grocery, the mighty BSA 650 twin began to run on one cylinder for whatever reason. Fortunately, Joseph had cell reception and was able to contact Bill for sag-wagon service to Van Zant’s.
After a nice sandwich at Van Zant’s, Jeff, Ken and Andy continued on the route while Joeseph and Beno Headed back to TWO. After a fuel stop at Cooper’s Creek Grocery, the group headed up Cooper’s Creek to Duncan’s Ridge and West Wolf Creek. After another fuel stop at Sunrise Grocery on Highway 129, it was back on the roads to TWO.
Many thanks to Bill for all of his hard work laying out the route as well as to the club members that participated. We are all looking forward to the next ride!
Joseph, Bill, Ken, Jeff and Beno at TWO.

AMC well represented at 2024 Barber vintage festival
Barber Vintage Festival, Leeds, Alabama October 11-13.
Atlanta Motorcycle Club members competed in and had success in all disciplines at the Barber Vintage Festival in Leeds, Alabama October 11-13.
Motocross
This year’s event featured the long-awaited new motocross track which opened to favorable reviews from the racers. The track featured many elevation changes, vintage friendly jumps and a well-groomed surface. In the well-attended vintage competition on Saturday, the results for club members are as follows:
Beno Rodi- 1st-Premier 350 Expert
Dave Kaufman-1st Premier Open Twin Int.
Jeff Fisher-1st ESS 500 Expert
Andy Blackburn-1st ESS 250 Ex, 2nd ESS 500 Ex, 2nd Classic 500 Expert
Graham Foster-1st Premier 500 Int.
Charles Morris-3rd Classic 250 Int.
Road Racing
Beautiful weather greeted the racers as they competed on Barber’s world-famous road circuit. Bill Gould finished second both Saturday and Sunday in the Classic 650 class on his BSA. After racing MX on Saturday, Dave Kaufman showed up on Sunday, riding his Matchless to a 4th place finish in the Classic 650 class.
Dirt Track
Well, if you can call an asphalt oval in a parking lot “dirt track.” Maybe Barber will add a real dirt track venue sometime in the future? We can only hope. Dave Aldana won the 70’s Singles class on Saturday, while Rickie Pollock won the Brakeless Heavyweight class.
Cross Country
Henry Gregorich worked hard to design a new cross-country course at Barber this year. When the dust cleared, Jeff Fisher claimed victory in the Vintage 60+ Expert, Beno Rodi placed 3rd in Premier Expert, while Henry placed 6th in Post-Vintage 60+ Intermediate.
Trials
The dry conditions made the trials somewhat easier compared to previous years. Several AMC members such as Bonnie, Lonnie, Chuck and Terry volunteered to be checkers and contributed to the success of the event. Club members that competed were Beno Rodi (1st Girder Expert), Graham Foster (2nd Premier Heavyweight), Henry Gregorich (2nd Modern Classic Intermediate), Steve Maxon (3rd Modern Classic Intermediate), and Andy Blackburn (1st Modern Classic Novice).

2024 Wildsville Scrambles
Wildsville Scrambles, Reynolds, GA March 16, 2024
Club member Chastin Brand owns a beautiful property near Reynolds, Georgia that he has turned into a motorcycle playground. Chastin had hosted events here for vintage bikes since 2019. The property features a dirt track, motocross and 4-mile-long cross-country course. The focus at Wildsville is on fun with classes for just about anything on wheels that you can imagine. Where else can you see a wheeled Jet-Ski, a Honda CB750 and a Harley on a motocross track? This event takes the idea of "run what you 'brung" to a whole new level. Unfortunately, there was a heavy rain the night before forcing cancellation of the dirt track, but riders in the motocross and cross country did not seem to mind.
Chastin, a talented artist, makes some of the coolest awards you will see for his event. First place awards are old helmets cut in half and hand lettered. Very nice and unique.
At the end of the day, participants were treated to a live band, Hot Rod Walt and the Psycho De Villes. Thanks to Chastin for hosting such a great event!
