Club
Officers - 2004


President

Gretchen Hoffman - Madam Prez for 2004.

President of Vice

Wendy Epstein - I started riding motorcycles (Yamaha JT1 60cc mini enduro) in 1970, in S.F..
My first job was in the Yamaha Cycle Pit motorcycle shop, in Daly City. In 1974 I ran my first race, in Pacifica, and won. I have raced pro road race, dirt track, MX, vintage, and sidecars. I am now a co-owner with Ned Hammell (M&H cycles of past) in the motorcycle dealership Mission Motorcycles, Top of the Hill in Daly City.

Ride Steward(s)

Kari Holmgren - Although I've only been riding 4 years, I ride EVERYWHERE, and have about 100,000 miles under my belt!  Literally, I've never owned anything other than two-wheeled vehicles (bicycles and motorcycles...if you can't lean it or fit it through traffic, I don't want it!), and don't plan to anytime soon!

David Rivers - Too busy fighting fires to make a statement to the press.

Club Historian

Pete Silva - A founding father of the SF Northstars and sidecar monkey extraordinare.

WebSlut/Word Steward

Craig Hightower - A 19-year veteran motorcyclist who's ridden all over the Western US as well as Canada, Alaska, Mexico and Central America.  Also known as a former Senior Editor of Streetbike/Independent Biker Magazine as well as occasional freelance journalist on the web.  Current quiver includes an XR650R, SV650, CBR1100XX and a Triumph Tiger.

WebSlut/Word Steward's Assistant

Lisa Brazieal - In 2001-2002, I was the first woman President voted in unanimously (except for Petey who ALWAYS votes the opposite of everyone. Just because...). One year was enough for me, so now I mostly publish the newsletters and ride the rides.  (She's also the only known person to ride a Triumph Daytona out to Coco's Corner in Baja.)

Treasurer

Alan Paul - The money guy (and brewmaster).
Dirty Steward Mike (Catfish) Chaplin -Street rider since 1968, dirt since 1974.  Joined the Northstars in 1983 & was club President in 2000-2001.  Self-proclaimed "Squidicus Emeritus".
