The Vinton Motorcycle Club recently held a reunion in downtown Vinton, where the members met at Pizza Ranch to recall the old times they had shared. One of them even wore his decades old white coveralls with the club name on the back.

Dick Bridge, one of the members of the club, worked to organize the reunion, which brought people from several other states back to Vinton. Bridge was featured on Page 6 of the February 2011 Thunder Roads Magazine as the Military Rider of the Month. See that article HERE.

Alberta Reifenstahl, recently-retired from the Benton County Volunteer Program, was also one of the Vinton Motorcycle Club members a half-century ago. She was at the reunion with her daughter.
