Welcome to almost Summer, we are only a few days away! As some of you may have noticed, I was not present for the last membership meeting on June 6th, this happens to be the down side of not being at the age of retirement. So work called, and I needed to be in Germany for the week. Now going to Germany did provide time to have a little fun. On Friday June 7th, I had the opportunity to tour the BMW Motorrad Werks in Berlin. Getting up early Friday morning to catch a 7:01 AM ICE train to Berlin, a 3 hour ride with an average speed of 254 km/h or 158 m/h, it was fun to watch the countryside fly by. While at the factory, I picked up a lot of little tidbits of information or trivia. There are 30 different types for motorcycles made by BMW, but only 27 are produced in the Berlin factory. The first motorcycle that was produced in the Berlin factory, came off of the production line in 1969. And that bike was a BMW R 50/5 in September 1969. It was also the first bike to be offered by BMW with a paint job, and it was Red.

The factory is run very efficiently, and they recycle everything, scrap metal and shavings are gathered, and sent back to be melted down and reused. They also reward their employees for cost saving ideas. The suggestion to stop using a full wooden box and to just use a wooden frame and cardbox to ship motorcycles to the US and other far away countries, was projected to save so much, the employee that made that suggestion, was awarded $1.2M euros. A great idea, and then retirement, sound good to me. An overview of the factory, is attached.

The area to the lower left is the motor assembly plant, this area previously was the ammunitions depot during WWII, these build- ings are part of the national historical registry, and cannot be modified. So they have learned to use each inch or meter to its best. As you can see above, the BMW factory is land locked, and they cannot expand. A finishing note, as of 2018, there has been 3,000,000 motorcycle that have come out of the Berlin factory. Happy riding!

While in the process of planning an upcoming cross country road trip with fellow club members, I began to search for an appropriate set of tires for my bike. The criteria included long wear life, both on and off pavement capability, and value (meaning they should not cost a king’s ransom!). I finally found what I was looking for and contacted a local dealer. They were not familiar with the brand and model tire I was after and advised me that they would not be able to acquire it for me. Though a bit disappointed, I felt good about the fact that I had at least given them a shot at it. I also made arrangements for them to mount and balance the tires prior to my departure. In this day and age of internet sales and globalization of our economy, it is all too easy to shop online for the best price and forget about the local stores that have made investments in brick and mortar to help us realize our passions. Many of the specialized on-line vendors work out of their garage or the corner of a warehouse and take advantage of volume sales to provide discounted pricing with which brick and mortar stores cannot compete. It is for this reason that I want to acknowledge our local vendors and to encourage the club members to patronize them at every opportunity. Even if you might save a few bucks by buying on-line, you can’t put a price on having to travel hundreds of miles to visit a vendor when the local shops shutter their doors. In my case, the closest dealers of the brand I currently ride are located in Detroit and Cincinnati. Special kudos go to Dale and company at BMW Motorcycles of Cleveland in Aurora. Dale’s most recent event brought two well known BMW GS Ambassadors to town for a very informative presentation on adventure riding. Dale has hosted several such events for his customers over the years and we can best show our appreciation by sending him (and the other local shops) our business whenever possible.

“CCN” BMWMOC’s Quarterly Newsletter Page 8 Stop Signs By Don Poremski

Let’s face it. Humanity has lived with and abided by signs of every type and size. They warn, they identify, they inform and sometimes awe. They can support optimism and crush with negativity. They don’t have to be written or drawn. Often, they are sensed or deduced. What brought these thoughts to mind? Buying a motor- cycle, a big motorcycle. There are other factors to be considered. Physical attributes especially come into play when one considers travel on two wheels. A person can have decades of experience as a cyclist and perhaps because of that, los- ing skills or recognizing diminished ability, causes one to consider change. Actually, riding this latest acquisition is a breeze. There is very little difference in cornering or the technique used to do so. It’s the stopping that has me concerned….and my current leg strength. Not surprising consider- ing that I’m ¾ of a century old. Work schedules and inclement weather have restricted my riding of the K1200LT to the past couple of weeks. Getting out with the Wednesday ride boys has given me an inkling that the bike will negotiate some of the more challenging roads in eastern Ohio, and I’m certain that it would be enjoyable to have it on Rt. 16 be- tween Tazewell and Hungry Mother State Park. It’s zero m.p.h. and verticality that have me spooked. Huh?? There will probably not be a total cessation of riding after 56 years, but doing so on a smaller machine will have to be the norm. Back to the RT and ZX11? Both need a little work, but signs point to them being more civil to a senior. (SIGH)

“CCN” BMWMOC’s Quarterly Newsletter Page 12 Whence Inspiration? by Don Poremski

Suppose the Muse Erato applies for prose as well as love poetry, at least for this undeniable urge to communicate. Could she be responsible, but maybe Erato is really just a circumstance, a waking moment following vivid and puzzling dreams. Dreams suppos- edly reflect situations or events that have recently occurred in one’s life. Viewing The Fastest Indian the other night might be re- sponsible too. Close enough. So it was the movie to blame for me dreaming about my first two-wheeled vehicle, a Cushman Eagle. And it was the movie that began the thought process about the commonality that motorcycle riders share. My first adventure, riding a scooter from Syra- cuse, NY to Pittsburgh, PA wasn’t exactly a parallel to bringing a streamlined motorcycle to the Bonneville Salt Flats from New Zea- land, but so many scenes from the movie were evocative of that trip and many others experienced since my becoming addicted. Ol’ Burt Monro was addicted for sure. During the movie I kept getting subliminal flash inserts of a similarly addicted fellow, Wayne Kelly of Kelly’s Wheel Exchange, Pittsburgh personality and former Harley test rider. The spontaneous challenges Burt faced during his trek to Bonneville in the movie could be matched by stories heard from and about Wayne, a man just as undaunt- ed as Burt. There was the time that Wayne volunteered to pick up a congoleum (forerunner of floor tiles) for a woman who owned a diner. He got the impression that it was a small piece cut to fit her kitchen, but when he arrived to pick it up on his motorcycle, he was con- fronted with a rolled tube fully twelve feet long. He toted it out to his bike, a Harley, leaned it across the bike until he had it fired, pulled it across his lap and started for the woman’s home. Wayne recalled that he had to lean the bike while maintaining a straight line to avoid obstacles along the way … like oncoming cars and fire hydrants. There was also the time that while riding a side hack along a short cut, he and the bike tumbled into a ditch cut across the road for a sewage line. He tacoed the front wheel, but luckily, all the wheels on that bike were interchangeable. So, he took the wheel off the “chair”, put it on the front of the bike and got home by “flying” the side car the whole way. I believe that story because I once brought two fellow airmen second class and a bicycle home from a kegger at Green Lake in New York on my Cushman. I sat on the tank, one passenger on the rider’s seat, the second passenger on the pillion and the bicycle be- tween them. There’s never a camera around when you need one. Another aspect of the movie that I, and others I’m sure, can relate to is the kindnesses that we have received from and provided to complete strangers. I’ve been towed up a steep Pittsburgh hill by another bike when my ’61 “Trumpet” Bonneville threw a primary chain (instead of blowing another Zener diode). I’ve been summoned onto a person’s porch while waiting out a thunderstorm in the days when I didn’t own rain gear, then fed a ham sandwich. I’ve been allowed to follow a huge truck to get home when the Zener diode did blow and I lost my headlight. That only worked until the Forest Hills police witnessed the situation. I then spent two hours in a bus stop shelter until it became light. I have shared my gas with a stranded bike at least three times and received same on two occasions. There was a Harley rider who thought I could use one of his tires when I was limping home on a threadbare rear tire from Thunder in the Catskills. Might have been a good idea except for the fit and style. The one he had was a white-walled sixteen incher. It’s motorcycles that allow us to exhibit shared humanity. It’s the looniness of using a basically unsafe mode of transportation in a world of mostly unconscious cage drivers that elicits a need for trust and to be trusted. It allows a show of sympathy in a largely callous society. Did Porgy have it right when he said “Them wit’ plenny o’ nuttin’ got plenny to share.” Well, it takes more than nuttin’ to be astride a lot of the equipment that’s out there now, especially BMW’s, but we can still imagine that we’re bucking the tide, being individualistic, and we can appreciate anyone doing the same thing as we, no matter what the livery. That just about covers why I dreamt of the Cushman and Wayne, but why the crystal clear images of the “knockoff” spoked wheels on my ’56 Austin Healy and the brass hammer I used to get them off? That’s probably a story for another quiet morning.

New Member - Dave Haas Dave became a member of BMWMOC as part of our Dealer Relations Program with the first-year member- ship gratis when he recently purchased a new BMW R 1200 GS Dual Sport from Sills Motor Sales. He has been an experienced rider for 17 years with his first bike a Suzuki 800 cc. Volusia cruiser. He also owns a Can -Am Spyder, but admits it a different style of the “riding experience”. With the new GS, Dave expects to put 5-6k this year on the odometer with a few of those miles to the BMWMOA Rally in Lebanon Tennessee. However, with future destinations including the Western States, he shared his enthusiasm for adventure rides with tales of North Africa with IMT Bike from Madrid and Croatia with Blue Rim Tours. Dubrovnik has been his favorite destination to date. His other travel experiences have been by train describing trips to Denver and then, points west along those track beds that were instrumen- tal in the western expansion of our country. One question I always ask our new members is, “Do you pack anything special on your trips?” Dave shared that he always has a Lithium-Ion battery for unexpected “jump-starts” on the road. This also in my travel kit! Dave is also an avid woodworker with a preference for custom furniture and cabinetry. Trying desperately to retire from his Orthodontia practice he admits that his patients are long term and he is limiting his prac- tice to those to whom he has made a commitment to their treatment. In closing Dave said, “I have found the BMWMOC to be filled with friendly people and have enjoyed the meetings and rides I have been on with them. I look forward to many more.” When you see Dave on a Group Ride or at a Club Meeting, say HELLO and introduce yourself and ask about his moto travel experiences! You’ll be glad you did. “CCN” BMWMOC’s Quarterly Newsletter Page 14

New Member - Richard Frantz Rich was introduced to BMWMOC through his friend Duncan Cooper who attends the Wednesday breakfasts and the Ride-To-Eat lunches. His first “ride” was a 1950 Cushman Eagle! Over fifty years of riding he has owned Triumphs, multiple Hondas (’64 Super Hawk, S-90, CB-90, Gold Wing) a triked HD Road Glide Ultra as well as a Suzuki V-Strom and a BMW R1100GS. Based on his career in the Air Force, he acquired some of these bikes in Japan and Korea but when trans- ferred to a base in the UK, he lacked the two-wheeled transportation he loved. When you meet him ask how he mailed a bike to himself in the Orient by disassembling it into small pieces in Korea! Rich had two Viet Nam tours flying a McDonald Douglas F4 Phantom, but his preferred airframe was the F-15 flying the first off the assembly line in the USA and then Germany. From his military career, his sophisticated training led him to an opportunity to be a pilot for Northwest Air- lines until his forced retirement due to FAA rules related to age. In addition to touring, Rich has raced in Motocross and dreams of an off-road adventure to Alaska! Small group rides “at a good pace”, are Rich’s preference on Northeast Ohio’s back roads and our Wednes- day Ride-To-Eat fill that bill. He never leaves home for a ride without his cell phone and a trusty pocketknife. Rich’s other interests (beside honey do’s) is woodworking building furniture and minor modifications around the house like a “pocket door”. He estimates that he rides 7-10 k a year and looks forward to every riding season. When you meet Rich at a BMWMOC Club function say Hi and ask him about any of his bikes or his flight ad- ventures.

Club members recently enjoyed the opportunity to spend the day and evening with Shawn Thomas and Jocelin Snow, BMW GS Ambassadors at an event hosted by BMW Motorcycles of Cleveland. Their seminar included tech- nical training during the day and stories of GS adventures at night. Adventure riders come in all different sizes – and Shawn and Jocelin define the widespread enthusiasm for ad- venture riding. At 6’ 4”, the only thing larger than Shawn is his enthusiasm for motorcycles and BMW Adventure riding. Shawn has participated in the GS Trophy and in 2018 served as the embedded journalist for Team USA in Mongolia. Despite her petite 5’1” frame, Jocelin has demonstrated exceptional skill with the R1200 GS Adventure over the years. Her talents were recognized when she was selected as part of the AusAmerica team for 2018 GS Trophy. Think you’re not tall enough or strong enough to ride an adventure bike? Think again, as International Female Team competitor Jocelin Snow explains how size really doesn’t matter. The days presentations Included Motorcycle Electronics: Understanding the technology contained within your bike—ABS Brakes, Traction Control, Electronic Suspension, and Throttle Response—and how they help you to be a better rider, Adventure Ergonomics: Knowing how to position yourself on the motorcycle for hours of safe and comfortable riding though the backcountry, Riding Gear: Understanding what makes adventure riding gear unique and essential, including abrasion resistance, protective armor, Dual-Sport helmets, Adventure boots and on-road/off-road gloves, Reclaiming Verticality: Learn to various tips and tricks of picking up a fallen motorcy- cle, Adventure Riding for the vertically challenged, and Top 5 solo travel essentials During the evening program, Shawn & Jocelin shared stories of their world travels, challenges, advantages, and what you need to know before going on a long or short trip. Thanks to Dale and Nancy and Jocelin and Shawn for an entertaining and informative experience.

Focus on Safety

Club members have a hard time blending into the local scene in Bucyrus, OH on a recent ride to visit historical sites, thanks to their hi-vis protective riding gear. As they say, ATGATT!

It has been a long winter and a long wet spring, two factors which have kept us off of our bikes for longer than we would have preferred. In addition, both of these factors have contributed to an increase in poor road conditions and a slow down of the crews whose job it is in to repair those roads. Just this week, while on the hunt for MoCal Grand Tour locations in the flats, I narrowly missed a chuck hole easily 8 inches deep and measuring a good 18 inches wide - large enough to swallow my front tire and me along with it. So as we finally get out there and en- joy ourselves on two wheels, lets not forget about staying safe such that we don’t end up with a riding season cut short by not being suitably prepared. In the following pages, you’ll find some tips for group riding and appropriate gear to wear while riding. And if you really want to add some insurance, sign up for a refresher course with Motorcycle Ohio! Stay alert and stay alive!
