Editor’s Notes
Let’s hear it for fellow club member Will Outlaw, Overall
Winner of the just completed 2001 Buckeye 1000! Riding his BMW R1100GS, Will absolutely obliterated the rest of
the field, winning by some 800+ points. He rode north to Hell (MI), then to the Mackinnac Bridge, up to
Parry Sound, Ontario, around Lake Huron to Niagara Falls and finally back to
Columbus, OH (amongst other bonuses), covering over 1,500 miles. For his efforts, Will receives a guaranteed
spot in the 2003 Iron Butt Rally.
Congratulations Will!
You can
read Steffan Fay’s report
about our Buckeye 1000 ride in this issue.
Weather played a big factor in the outcome of our ride, though we would
have remained Will’s
bridesmaids at best. Still, one is
always happy to come back from an event in one piece.
Which
leads to some gloomy reporting, that an LD rider is still missing, a BMW rider
from the Thin Air TT, held last weekend in Colorado. Jim Young was last seen riding his R1150GS when he disappeared
somewhere in eastern Utah or SW Colorado.
You may have seen Jim at the MOA Rally in Redmond, manning the Motolight
booth. I’ve met Jim and competed against him a few times, and
hope this story ends happily. Jim’s an ex-Army Ranger and one hopes that if anyone can
survive this, he can. It doesn’t need to be said that endurance rallies are dangerous
- that’s a
given. Everyone signs a waiver and
accepts the risks involved. Still, for
those of us who ride alone in the mountains at night, with no one knowing where
we’re
headed, this is a particularly chilling story.
I went on
my first COG ride last month. That’s AConcours
Owner’s Group@ for those of you who are Kawasaki-challenged. I met a nice group of people who do what we
BMW riders often do - go for a ride and then eat. A tech session was held, too and much support was found. I’m a bit
underwhelmed by the bike (worry not, I still prefer my Boxers) but it is the
most affordable LD tool out there, with a huge after market. Plus, it ain’t exactly exotica if you need it wrenched on in the
boonies. It buzzes, the radiator kicks
out terrible heat, it’s heavy,
just like a K bike...if I put a couple of roundels on the tank, nobody will
know the difference!
August, 2001
President’s Column
Well, I survived the MN 1K. It was my first real >endurance ride’, although my idea of endurance is more than 3 hours
without stopping for some fine dining.
Suffice it to say, I did indeed survive. I now know the true meaning of the term Abun burner@ & in fact, we were only 200 miles away from
achieving the Bun Burner Gold AwardCwhatever that’s worth - but I growled into my riding partner’s ear something to the effect of >if you don’t get me off this bike within ten minutes from now
you will definitely regret living’. Use your
imagination.
We went from MN to ND to SD to Nebraska then back. We
rode most of the way with fellow club member Will Outlaw, and I learned from
watching him many new seated positions that are possible on a BMW! My Lord, that man was hanging off the side
of that bike by a thigh alone! These
high mileage junkies, though: I just
loved Will’s
story of the time he stopped to sleep for 15 minutes to an hour in Montana
where, due to snakes liking warm places to sleep, he chose to remain on his
bike to catch a couple of zzz’s. Now,
imagine being on a danged bike for a solid 20 hours and feeling like some rest
- so where do you chose to sleep? On
your bike, of course! (See? THIS is what I refer to as
insanity...). In any case, the best
part of the story was Will suddenly waking up SCREAMING in his helmet; lunging
for the brakes, only to realize he was not moving! Oh my Lawd - I thought I was gonna laugh until I cried.
In any case, I fear I have two
permanent red patches that indeed look & feel like burns. It’s a lovely addition to the overall
declining state of my aging body. The
bizarre thing about it? The adrenaline
rush that I got out of being a part of it!
Now that we only placed second, I think I heard myself saying something
about coming back next year to place 1st. Whaaatt?? Was that ME
talking?? Must have been temporary
insanity. Then Kiecker starts telling
me about this event coming up in late July in Ohio, & I actually start
counting frequent flyer miles & wondering who’s got a bike out there I can
borrow...
But then again, after my experiences
with burning the legs of a BORROWED Aerostich suit, & replacing them to the
tune of $348, I’m not too sure I’ll ever want to borrow anything
again. Although bless her heart (thank
you Lori Schmidt) for having the generosity & graciousness to do so to a
relative stranger.
Then it was onward to the M2M July 6
& 7 - the Milwaukee to Minneapolis run from Motor Oil to Fuel Cafe, then
back to Motor Oil again,although THIS rally thankfully involved a hotel room
and a good meal while in Milwaukee.
Also, it involved a whole bunch of good (and some not so good) riders
from both Mpls. and Milwaukee, some of whom I really like & admire. It turned out to be a highly eclectic
mixture of about 30 riders from Mpls., with at least 90 total on the ride. The
first few riders came in around 5:30pm, with the final Rider’s meeting being held at Motor Oil at
about 10pm. At this time Kevin Kocur,
who was checking riders as they came in, had only checked in about 60
riders. Due to some of the most
beautiful twisty roads in WI., what is a 5 hour straight shot down the freeway,
turned into a 12 hour ride for some.
There were all different types of makes & bikes (the smallest I saw
was a 350 Honda) and (hopefully) a real good time for all.
Me?
Well it wasn’t such a good time. I blew a rod
about 45 miles outside of Milwaukee. So
although my paint job was finally completed on my trusty old R-65 - and I even
had the brand new faring & side covers painted & attached, with the
paint even still sticky when I left. I
didn’t even get the pleasure of pulling into Fuel with my
really cool bike. Instead, I limped in
2 up, on the back of Will Outlaw’s buddy’s bike. Talk about humiliation! I
was devastated. That’s what I get for riding with a bunch
of big new Beemers & Hondas who can easily average 95 miles per hour -
keeping up, & proud of it - not realizing you can’t push an older bike to that extreme
level. I was running at 95 - 105mph for
most of the 4 hours I was riding. And the engine just couldn’t take it, I guess. I should have known better... As you can
imagine, being one of the few females who were involved in this rally, I was
the victim of all sorts of comments following the demise of my Beemer:
ASee Molly; THIS is why we told you to
just buy a Honda!@ and ASay Molly - there’s this thing called OIL - & you
need to put it in the machine@
or AIch bin BMW!@
And the icing on the cake was from our very own Will (WHO said I’m sexist?!?) Outlaw: AI just LOVE it when girls try to ride
motorcycles@. It was so wearing I just went back
to my hotel (thank god I had one) & pouted. Very depressing.
So, the R-65 might as well be put under glass. After this, I keep telling myself (& my
significant other), there will not be another event this season. But then I always get a call from some hyped
up maniac telling me how this is the event not to miss, how I will
only live to regret not going, and I eventually rationalize myself into yet
another vacation day with a bunch of kooks on motorcycles. If you think I’m kidding you should see the picture
I have of Bob Waitz in a white fur covered helmet from the MN1K. Or try Jay Golden with a stuffed animal
bungied on the back of his bike. Now, I
don’t know Jay real well, but I thought I knew him well enough
to know that he’s not the stuffed animal type...
Yeah, sure - he hit a dog once so this was his way of warding another off. But a grown man with a stuffed animal on the
back of his Beemer? Kooky.
What do I get out of these
experiences? Much of what you all get
when riding distances with friends.
Beautiful sunsets that Will turns around to give us the >thumbs up’ over; unfortunately (for me) bright sunrises that (mostly others) think
are cool; moments of clarity like AI want to swim right NOW! NOW, dammit!! Full Aerostich & all!!
I’ll even jump in with the helmet on,
JUST LET ME GO FOR A SWIM! PLEASE?@ 92 degrees has a way of affecting
one. You get wonderful nicknames like APrincess@ because you think going to the
bathroom & not catheterizing yourself is actually O.K., and your mother
& s/o scream at you upon your return because you didn’t stop to call them to tell them you
were Aon your way home@.
Um - aren’t we continually on our way
home? Isn’t that the whole point? To get home?? How does one explain that if
one stops long enough to make a phone call one is sacrificing time? I loved this conversation with my mother:
AWell you stop to go to the bathroom,
don’t you?!@
_ AUh, well --- not exactly...@
In short, these are the memories of a lifetime and
hopefully the same can be said of the friendships formed during these
rides. I know all of you know exactly
what I am talking about.
Secretary’s Report
The July 12th meeting of the BMWMOCM was
called to order by President Molly Gilbert at Motor Oil Café. A warm welcome was extended to all new
members and guests.
Congratulations to club member winners of the MN 1000. Tom Roe received 1st in Sport
Touring Class, Shelden Moe received 4th in Touring Class, Will
Outlaw received 5th in Expert Class and Mark Kiecker (on a
Yamaha), with trusty co-pilot Molly
Gilbert, received 2nd in the 2-Up Class. Finally, Pat O’Keefe earned the esteemed Ray Bentdahl Award, riding
5,000 miles in his first four MN1Ks. To
add to this honor, he is the only competitor to have reached this milestone on
a single cylinder bike. Looks to this
secretary like the BMW club of Minnesota dominated the 2001 MN 1000. Yee Haw!
We heard two presentations. The first was a custom motorcycle
painter. If you have been thinking of
personalizing your bike and/or helmet, this gentleman has several years experience
and would live to help you. Please
contact Molly Gilbert for his information.
Out second presenter was our very own
Bob Cox. He showed us the ins and outs
of patching a flat tire. It was a very
informative presentation. I know I
always appreciate tips on how I can ride more independently. I also know now that I did not have to
replace my rear tire at 1500 miles just because it had a nail in it. Thank you
Bob.
Our August club meeting will meet at
Afton City Park (across from Selma’s) for our traditional pot luck. A grill will be available. Details on the club web site.
Respectfully submitted by Michelle Moe, Secretary
Darrell’s Tip of the Month
Situation:
You once again find yourself trying
to figure out why you are always needing to polish the black parts (not tires)
on your motorcycle. Now is back to the
automotive section to buy the next greatest and latest plastic parts
polish. All your buddies have the same
problems so you figure you might as well keep doing what they are doing. Polish, polish and polish.
Solution:
Toss all the cans and bottles of
stuff you have purchased and grab that $1.59 can of WD 40 and go to work. Spray it on the rag or directly on the part
to polish. At all costs avoid the tires
but use on the rims. Let stand 3 - 4
minutes and then wipe off with a clean cloth.
You have now removed all tar, bugs and dirt as well as putting a
protective layer which make it easier to clean next time. Check out my bike, Elizabeth’s or Larry Stern’s if you want to see the
results. I do mine twice a year. By the way the interior of my 174,000 mile
Honda car looks like new. All WD 40.
A Buckeye 1000 Ride Report
by
Steffan Fay
Those of you familiar with the Minnesota 1000 may
also have heard about a new event with a similar format held in Ohio, the
Buckeye 1000. Yes, Team Strange is at
it again, and it seemed like such a good idea when I signed up, almost a year
ago, snagging rider #3. So it was under
sunny skies, and with all the enthusiasm that prefaces such a weekend, that #13
(Bart) and I lit out for points east and - in my mind anyway - potential
victory, in the event’s inaugural year. Of course it worked out nothing like that, and although it was
hardly a litany of disasters, it could have been better. Or worse.
Friday night saw us at the AMA Headquarters/ Museum
in suburban Columbus, tucking into BBQ and receiving an ominously short route
sheet. That there would be additional
bonuses divulged in the morning seemed a certainty, but we spent a few hours
Friday night planning a base route around Ohio just in case, assuming
(correctly as it turned out,) that the outer ring of Ohio cities would be
bundled into a “Super Bonus.” St.
Ignace in the Michigan U.P. and Niagara Falls hinted at a Great Lakes route,
instantly producing the sinking feeling that always accompanies the more
important of my (frequent) rally mistakes.
I am still a British citizen, and had neglected to bring my passport and
green card along. Even so, I was fully
prepared to take a crack at fibbing my way across the border (twice) anyway B
it’s only a minor, deportable offense.
Had we gone that route I would probably be writing this in a tent
pitched on the Rainbow Bridge above Niagara Gorge! (Sorry - Canadian border
guard humor from a previous run-in).
Saturday morning’s route sheet addendum was four
times the size of the previous night’s.
The intent was obviously to give people much less time for routing, and
it worked wonderfully. At previous
events, I’ve seen almost everyone out
the gate ten minutes after the start.
This time I didn’t hear an engine fire up until then. The lap of Ohio super bonus wasn’t worth the
trouble, and we had already rejected Canada.
Nothing else was too obvious but we managed to find a couple of high
point anchors - Metropolis ( home of Superman) and Chicago, and filled in the
cracks with a lot of other stuff. We
would have to ride almost the entire lengths of Kentucky and Illinois, and knew we weren’t going to avoid rain, but
with the skeleton of the route in place we busted south to find a church in
Tranquility, OH.
Trying the write down the title of ten, count ‘em,
ten historical markers in Paris, KY, kinda sucked in the rain, but we got it
done anyway. Then there was nothing to
do but blast west across practically the entire bourbon-laced state, getting to
Metropolis, IL via Paducah. Central
Kentucky is was what the Australians would call GAFA country (Great Amounts of
Y). We went a little over the posted,
although I doubt it would have mattered if we had doubled it, a refreshing
change from having to actively countermeasure the revenue generating speed
enforcement tactics in Ohio.
By then, Bart had determined that we could not make
Chicago by the 2 AM bonus close. OK, so
he had forgotten to factor the time zone change, but it still was too risky to
try. Had we missed it we would have had no chance of placing well. So we settled for Reno, IL and Franklin,
IN. Combined, they were worth about 2/3
of the points but involved fewer miles.
The bonus in Franklin was hard
to find, a historical marker in the middle of the road, even though Bart had
been there before.
So things were looking pretty good. We had tons of
time to get back to Columbus from Indiana, all on the Interstate. The weather was muggy but dry, and we were
both pretty much wide-awake. Back in
town in time to collect the sleep bonus, have breakfast with the Buckeye Beemers,
a couple more local bonuses, and we’d be done.
Probably not a winning route, but substantial nonetheless.
It started to rain.
We pressed on. Then came some
lightning and heavier rain, so we slowed to avoid too much aquaplaning, and
soldiered on some more. I watched the
ETA for Columbus on my GPS get further and further out past our original
estimate - well I did before it got waterlogged and quit. Pulling in to a rest area to gather our
thoughts and take a breather we both decided that this officially sucked. I made the discovery that one of the local
bonuses, the Maze in Dublin, could be done on the way to the Buckeye Beemers
Club breakfast in Sunbury. It was an
unfortunate error, one that I had no idea about until later. As we got back on the highway, my low beam quit. Did I mention this sucked?
So now we are making our way along at maybe 30 mph, with Bart’s mediocre Airhead light leading, hazard flashers on and wetter than if we had
been swimming through it. Oh yea, and
it was still pitch dark.
As we counted the ears in a Dublin field of concrete
corn (you had to be there), it was still raining hard, but at least it was now
light. It was then that Bart told me of
a near miss he’d had behind me back on the Columbus ring road, I-270. Evidently his front wheel had got caught in
a gap in the pavement, causing a tank slapper and bringing the back end round,
all with a semi-truck right behind him.
He kept it up, a testament to his riding skills, but it was an
unpleasant moment to say the least.
Back on the highway, heading up to the Flying J for
breakfast, I got that sinking feeling again.
It was already 8 AM. There was
no way we could get our 3 hour rest bonus and complete breakfast with the
Beemer club before the 11 AM cut off. I
had screwed us up by going to Dublin first - we could now only do one or the
other. Breakfast was worth more points,
so we sat down, ate and started to total things up. My spirits sank further still - we had 1000 fewer points than
fellow club member Will Outlaw, the eventual overall winner, who was also
there. He had gone around the lakes,
through Canada¼
Back at the hotel, and after hot showers all round,
we tallied things up for real.
Surreptitiously extracting scores from other riders revealed things
weren’t so bad. Of the people I made
conversation with only Will had more points than us. At the awards banquet we found that we had missed the expert
class trophies by 9 points, with our score of 6,449. Nothing like coming up short by 0.13% to lift your mood. If we had made the sleep bonus we would have
done much better, maybe even snagging first and second in Expert. That said, a few mistakes are always made,
and most of the time we lost was due to weather. I defy any sane individual to have made it through that storm at
normal highway speeds. Come to think of
it, any sane individual would have done something else that weekend.
So my hat goes off to Will. You deserved the win, and your Iron Butt spot. And thanks Bart for a great route, great
ride and great company. We learned from
this, and really didn’t do too bad.
We’ll just have to save the ass kickin’ for another time.

What a great Ride to Redmond and a great rally!!
The National Rally significantly benefits the
community financially, but there is a
segment of that community that does not benefit from our presence. Each year we like to choose a children's
organization to be the recipient of funds raised for our National Charity.
Port Washington BMW Club's challenge to match the
$100.00 they donate has been met and exceeded each year by BMW MOCM. Thank you once again for the $200.00 the club
donated to benefit the Deschutes Children's Foundation. Imagine the staggering amount we could
present if ALL the clubs donated. Magilla continues to "give 'em h*$! At
the Presidents' Meeting.
This
year the following clubs met or exceeded the donation: BMW MOA, BMW Motorcycle Owners' Club of MN, BMW Club
of Northern Florida, The European Motorcycle Owners' Club of Las Vegas, Chicago
Region BMW Owners Assoc., Greater Cincinnati BMW Club, The Madison BMW Club,
The Wisconsin BMW Club, and the Yankee Beemers. The Chain Gang issued their own challenge to donate $.50 per
member and issued checks totalling
$678.00.
During the entire event we sold 50/50 tickets to the
attendees. If you volunteered to sell tickets,
or even if you bought ticketsYThank You! We presented a
grand total of $7,178.00 to Bill Cardwell, President of the Deschutes
Children's Foundation at the awards presentation. We also donated a Ping Pong Table that was used in the Teen
Lounge.
The following was e-mailed to me:
Dear Karol,
Thank
you so much for making us the recipient of your fund raising event. Bill
Cardwell brought us the checks Monday. We were astonished by the amount, what
you did is very incredible, thank you for your support. Jan LaChapelle who is
the Foundation>s Executive
Director, would like to send a press release about your donation. Is that OK
with you? if yes, could you give me some information about the rally. How many
people attended, where the money came from etcY..
Thanks
again.
Chloe
If she sends me a copy of the press release, I'll
forward it for inclusion in a future issue.
Thanks
again!
It is my understanding that the BMWMOCM Board meeting
will take place simultaneously with the general meeting/potluck dinner in
Afton. If this information is
incorrect, please blame Molly.
Deadline for newsletter ads or submissions is the 21st
of the month. Really, it is. Contact Bart at blbakker@isd.net

Fourth of July Ride
What did you do on your July 4th holiday? Well, 23 of your fellow riders and club
members met at the McStop in Lakeville for another of Darrell Penning’s group
rides. This time, the destination was
the Lark Toy Store near Kellogg, MN.
One of the destinations, anyway, as the priority is always FOOD, after
all. Twenty three riders on five brands
of bikes (I was there on my Kawasaki, right next to a Ducati 907) headed out
for the Happy Chef in Northfield where everyone was served within some fifty
minutes.
Darrell led the way at a moderate pace, a good idea
given the large number of bikes ( only a couple of K12RS’ were seen
misbehaving). I always impressed that
Darrell manages to find at least one road I haven’t been on - just when I start
thinking I have been everywhere...Arriving at the Lark Toy Store, we met up
with six other riders on a Bob Cox led dual sport ride. The group spent about ninety minutes at the
store; some rode the carousel, while
others enjoyed ice cream and sodas. At
this point, I had to head back to the Twin Cities so as to be at work that
afternoon (no rest for the wicked!), but it is reported that TWO more ice cream
stops were made, one in Nelson, WI, and later at Selma’s in Afton, MN. As is often said, “a good time was had by
all.” Thanks again to Darrell for
arranging these group rides, and show your appreciation by participating in the
next one.
Harley Unveils
New Cruiser
I thought it was about time for some Harley-Davidson
news in our newsletter. After all, I’ve
written about Triumphs and Kawasakis, so let’s be fair...Perhaps you have seen
the new “V-Rod”, the liquid-cooled Harley that is soon to be released. Long in development with Porsche and based
somewhat on the VR-1 race bike, this machine is to Harley what the first K bike
was to BMW - controversial, in particular with “the Faithful.” To me, a non-Harley rider, it looks pretty
good (IF I was in the market for a cruiser, anyway). Honda threw down the gauntlet with the VTX1800, and it looks like
ol’ Willie G. is more than answering back.
What will be most amusing, though, is to watch and listen to the
complaints and protests from the faithful who have no interest in giving up
their old air-cooled bikes, much like
the Airhead owners’ protests, when the phasing out of the old R bike line was
announced, only to be quietly reintroduced when the K bike didn’t sell very
well. Of course, the development of the
Oilhead got BMW back on track, once again building what some might consider
“real BMWs” (the K bike shall always remain an aberration, however good they
have become.) One could argue that,
before the Oilhead, BMW built BMWs, bikes that were fairly unique and, despite
their flaws, full of character and individual personality. After the Oilhead,
BMW became a modern motorcycle company.
Sadly, for some of us, some of the charm and the character got
engineered out of the bikes, and we cling to our old Airheads ever
faithfully. Harley is facing the same
crossroad. Their current line-up of
bikes, however charming, is so ancient in terms of technology (other than the
fuel injection) that they had to do something, even at the risk of alienating
the core. It will be fun to see how it
all plays out.
