Night Rod and Street Rod Slip-Ons

The Kerker K Series Slip-Ons for the Night Rod and Street Rod are 13 pounds lighter than stock. Kerker K Series Slip- Ons have a deep signature exhaust tone. The high flowing 2″ diameter baffle produces optimum performance. The expertly finished, brushed aluminum impact extruded canister conceals the totally rebuildable core and packing.

FatShots 2:2 Slip-Ons, available in black ceramic or chrome finish, for the Night Rod and Street Rod, are one of the most popular aftermarket exhausts for these bikes to date. They provide a crisp throttle response and performance throughout the entire power curve.

of the Antique Motorcycle Club of America

The Hudson Valley Chapter of the AMC is inviting everyone to join them in their celebration of the 100th anniversary of Walter Davidson Sr.’s formal visit to the Hudson Valley, June 1908, for his participation in the national FAM endurance run.

In 1908 an endurance run began on Main Street Catskill, N.Y.; crossing over the Catskill Mountains down into Kingston then Newburgh, covering the Hudson Valley South into Brooklyn to finish out on Long Island, N.Y.

There were sixty three entrants of various US motorcycle manufacturers that covered a course of 356 miles total, roads that were rough, rocky and at times covered in mud. 

Walter Davidson Sr.’s granddaughter, Jean Davidson who will be attending the Rhinebeck National has also agreed to take part in the Catskill Run and speak at their banquet

The formal 100th anniversary celebration event is to be held in Catskill, N.Y., Wednesday afternoon, June 11th; opening ceremony 4:00pm ending at 6:00pm. Due to anticipated crowds of spectators and participates, the overall plan of action is to close down Main St. for the event and ceremony on the actual site of the 1908 photograph of Walter Sr. now 100 years later his granddaughter, Jean at the same location.

This should prove to be a road run AMCA members will remember and talk about for sometime to come. Any updates and additional information will immediately be posted on the Hudson Valley web site http://www.hudsonvalleychapter.com/id7.html
