We are a MOTORCYCLE BROTHERHOOD, not a Motorcycle Club, or Social Club, or AMA Members. We are a unique and origional origanization dedicaited to BROTHERHOOD and this is what our members truley believe in."BROTHERS BEFORE OTHERS".We ride hard, play hard, and keep to ourselves.
Imagine back then Eugene had NO pot heads, you could leave your door unlocked, and no enemy aliens bring them in the like in the 70's and then telling US that We OWED the Savages. ?
Can't thank you enough for posting this Caponerd. I guess motorcycles back then were too heavy and not powerful enough to wheelie, it musta been really hard to balance the bike with all that weight. I ride a Kawasaki ZX10R and I wonder what would motorcycles look like a 70 years from now.
My dad was a member of the West Side Motorcycle Club from 1948-1950. He said Clarence was a real good guy. Clarence would loan him a bike if dad's was broke down, and sometimes loaned him his old right-hand drive MG if he needed to get around. Dad said at the end of each club meeting, weather permitting, they would ride up and down Willamette St with their straight pipes! Really rattled the windows I guess! Dad rode a 1944 Indian 741, a 1948 Indian Scout, and a 1948 or 49 BSA Goldstar.
i always love stuff like this. Did anyone see that one of the guys in the video is still alive and almost 100 years old. we need an old timer in the club I belong to. pureriderz!
Scott, I'm sorry to say that both C.R. Saville and Clyde Blakely have passed away. Mr. Blakely, a couple of years ago, and Mr. Saville last year.
I knew both of them, and they were great guys, and motorcycle enthusiasts to the end.
Mr. Blakely was a long-time member of Oregon Vintage Motorcyclists, which was founded in 1979, and both Mr. Blakely and Mr. Saville were founding members of the old West Side Motorcycle Club, which was the Indian rider's club here in Eugene.
I can say that he must have lived his life to be a good life. I think I actually contacted the old vintage website admin. I was going to link our club. Pure Riderz back to theirs but I just wanted to make sure they were okay with that.
@caponerd That shit it way out of control. I bet many hotshoes today could learn a few things from these cats... my father was BORN in 1938 sheesh.....
nice and lots of fun as well,and a big hellow to Mr Saville for doing this back then and having the bright idea of having it all filmed mate,,your a gem mate and thankyou !!!!
Also want to say that in 1948 I went to see a fair in Reading, PA and a woman was riding an old Indian around and around in a barrel. Forget what it was called. Stunt riding was a big thing in those days. They might have been part of Joie Chitwood's Hell Drivers.
There was a team that used to do the County Fair every year here in Eugene. They ran Indian Scouts because they were better suited for that purpose han the Harley 45's.
One of Joey Chitwood's original motorcycle stunt riders is still around, and living in Portland.
Cliff Majhor is his name. A young guy named Bobby Kneivel saw Cliff jumping a motorcycle up in Montana back in the early 60's. You can guess the rest of that story.
Cliff Majhor is my dad, i have a copy of an old photo of him doing the one jump that he did through the wall. He jumped because on a previous jump when Dutch went the tongue in groove boards were put together upside down. The gas used to light the boards pooled in the grooves and Dutch accidentally hit the wall instead of going over it causing a bit of an explosion (a delight to the crowd but) causing Dutch to be burned. Dutch did recover but wasnt able to jump so my dad jumped the next show.
@caponerd Believe it or not, the Wall of Death is not only going strong here in the states. Was in Thailand two years ago and saw a family act running dirt bikes and a compact pickup on a wall of death. In true Thai fashion the rider was holding his 5 year old on his lap while running- I wasn't sure if only the Americans in the crowd were wincing or if everyone got the willies from that!!
This is in response to the dude who said he doesn't like new fangled life-saver eqpt. I'll stick with my helmet and heavy leather jacket & gloves. Thanks. Riding since 1951-1st bike a '49 Harley and I still have my 46 Indian Chief. Rocky in Arizona
great footage and so so much fun than, as for the guy who is whining about saftey gear, take a break mate,and lighten up some, our founding father,s gave us all we know today, without all the safety gear,safety gear has also killed bikers,so enjoy the fun and free times here in this clip for a moment , you may just get it!!!!

Wow! Stunts from 70 years ago! I had a Triumph bike in the 70's but I wouldn't try that stuff! RIP Clarence and Good Luck to all you folks in Oregon from the Captain.
Should have known, of course, I remember. Nope didn't make it to any reunion events. I think I mentioned in our e-mails last year Cathy and I are now married, 15 years.
He's my Dad. A truly awesome guy. They don't make them like him any more. He was equally at home on motorcycles or in airplanes. His hard work, honest work ethic, sense of humor, stunts and daring were well known.

Those bikes aren't as heavy as modern Harleys and "metric cruisers".
The big ones would just spin the tires, but there were lighter ones that could wheelie just fine.

Folks, I'm sad to announce that at 97 years of age, Mr. Saville passed away last week.
R.I.P. Clarence R. Saville, 1910-2007
He was a mentor and hero to several generations of motorcycle enthusiasts in Oregon.
