President,
Tom Grimmel

I live in Jarrettsville, Maryland and been riding for over 50 years. My first real bike was a 1969 Yamaha 125 Enduro. Grew up trail riding, started racing Hare Scrambles in the late 70's and rode Enduro's in the early 80's  to mid 90's. Joined AHRMA in 1989 and went vintage road racing 1989-1997.... Wife did not care for road racing .... Changed to vintage trials from 1990-2000 and vintage Motocross from 1995 to the present. I have been a PVR member since 1997 and have seen all the changes and growth in PVR. I also ride a bunch of Dual Sport events and am a life member of the AMA. I have owned a few hundred dirt bikes. I want to give back into the hobby that has given me a wealth of fun and many great friendships.

Cross Country & AHRMA MX Coordinator,
Dave Kutskel

Although I grew up riding motorcycles, I never had the opportunity to compete in organized racing until the young age of 35. My first race was MX in 1996 on a XR600. A year later, I discovered AHRMA and soon I was on the starting line on a 1974 CR250 and never looked back. When AHRMA started a cross country series, I was excited to get back to where I was comfortable riding (trails). In 2004 I relocated to West Central Pennsylvania and started racing regional AHRMA races. At that time, Cross Country was struggling to get 10 riders to show up. I met and became friends with Steve Paulk who was in charge of the XC program. Steve had me as his assistant for a few seasons as I learned the ropes of putting on races. When Steve stepped down I offered to take the position of the PVR / AHRMA Cross Country coordinator. I am employed as a key operator for a Pizza Hut franchise and have been in the business for over 30 years. I am married to a beautiful woman, Darlene and we have two children. I’m enjoying watching my son learn to ride and race now, both modern and vintage bikes. 

Bike Show Coordinator & Swap Meet Registrar, Mike Slate

I started riding at age 10...a converted  Kawasaki J1 85cc road bike into a trials machine for my first bike. About 1970, Next, I got a Bultaco Lobito 125 paid by my modest paper route! Later came a Bultaco Alpina 175 trials/trail crossover type bike. Along they way, a "custom" Hodaka MX to Rickman/ Zundapps and a used Penton 175 Jackpiner. I think that's when I developed my lifelong appreciation for ISDT riders. I competed enduros and hare scrambles until age 19, then focusing on BMW road models. The vintage off road thing came along about 2004, I got a 1970 Ossa Plonker and started competing. I then got my father's old Ossa's running again- a MAR and a SDR. In a couple of years, I wound up with six restored Ossa's in my little row house! We now have a nice collection, Mid Atlantic Vintage Bikes housed in the Broom Factory in Baltimore. I also trail ride a Mountaineer in dual sports and vintage enduro / cross country. I decided to get involved in the York Bike Show with Nick Taylor in 2015, which led to joining the club.

restores off-road bikes from the 70's and early 80's. Fred has served as past President of the Mason Dixon Riders Association, former AHRMA National Off-road Director and former AHRMA Trustee. Fred believes that with every day, comes a new opportunity to serve the good people of the vintage racing community! 

Membership Coordinator,
Grant Reichart

Growing up riding on the back of my dad’s Honda Sabre 750, I gained a passion and desire to ride motorcycles. At age 20, I bought my first motorcycle which is a Green 2004 Kawasaki Ninja 636. I still love riding that bike. After hearing my father-in-law talk about racing in a vintage racing series, I asked him if I could borrow a bike. My first race was aboard a '98 Suzuki RM 250 at AHRMA Mid-Atlantic CC’s Coyote Run event. I made 1 lap in 40 minutes the first day and 2 laps the second day. I was exhausted but hooked. In the Winter of 2017 I purchased my first dirt bike, an '86 Honda CR250. A year later I decided to get a vintage bike too for more seat time. I picked up my first Hodaka, a '73 Wombat, at the PVR swap meet in York. After a few more years racing and a few more Hodakas, plus a Husky, I have really enjoyed racing vintage dirt bikes while spending time with my beautiful and supportive wife Jessi, who volunteers as a scorekeeper, and our two dogs Fenix and Hodie.
