So I subscribe to buying new motorcycle and bicycle helmets every 5 years, but what about internal padding ?
Made of foam / Subject to Sweat / Subject to abuse / Subject to ???
Somehow I think that we should be replacing our knee- , shoulder-, back-, hip-, coxis-? and other pads with some regularity ?
Are there any manufacturer's recommendations ?

Replace them when they have flattened to where the fit is no longer good if they 
are removable........or I've installed Arai liners that are wonderful.

Message-ID: <CAJjQJX9fmQkzU7mOKesgsJiwNySn8RiAHPH4E+sbo-31OqmMmw@mail.gmail.com>

Hey all,

I had to stop short this morning in traffic, lost traction, and laid the
bike down going maybe 5-10 mph.  Thankfully, I'm OK, and the only apparent
damage at this point are a shattered headlight lens and some scratches (and
my pride).  I rode the bike the remaining way to work and then home, and it
handled fine.

I'd like to do a thorough inspection.  I plan on doing a "stiction test" to
assess the front forks (the front wheel moves freely off the ground).  Can
you all suggest anything else I can do?  No engine guards - should I be
concerned about damage to the cylinders?

I'm in the market for r100rt front fenders, one fork gaiter (got punctured
in the crash, not sure how), and a new headlight lens (maybe reflector,
bucket as well).

Thanks!
-Fred

Afternoon Fred,

Sorry to hear you had the "off" but delighted you're ok and the damage is
minimal. These bikes are really tough. Unless the front end made hard
contact with an object it is probably fine. Check under the bike after it
has been sitting on the center stand for a while and make sure there are no
leaks. Might also suggest this may be a good time to do a complete oil
service. Engine, Gearbox, Final Drive and a brake fluid flush. Things get a
little mixed up when a bike is on its side sliding along the pavement.

Can't help you with parts but would suggest trying Larry Stoner. His contact
info is in the Airmail and is always offering articles you may need.
ca.stoner at yahoo.com

Thanks Chris

Thanks Dale.   Unless it's going to be a rainy weekend, I plan on being 
there.   I have a couple chores I'd like to accomplish if time and space 
permit:

1) install KatDash

2) R&R front disc carrier (new disc already bolted to new carrier)

3) R&R front brake pads

4) flush & fill front brake fluid

If other, more intensive projects end up taking most of the time, tools 
and space, I am totally fine with doing my stuff on my own later, and 
will welcome the opportunity to hang out and socialze and help other folks.

I would be arriving Friday evening, maybe spending the day riding into 
Bath and Highland counties before heading to Culpeper.   We'll see what 
the weather holds.

someone else rides along and would rather leave Friday).
Any one riding down who lives between Harrisburg PA and Culpeper VA, and
wants to lead or follow?

If no rain, then I'll be taking Friday off and heading west from 
Richmond for a meandering day.   I'll probably head to Bath and Highland 
counties, and then up into eastern WVa, soI could head over to H-burg 
area from there and meetup with you in the afternoon.

Jim McKinna:  Do you want to meet somewhere Friday afternoon in WVa?

Have a look at what your estimated time of arrival might be for that local.

Very nice couple of roads back over the mountains from there to Dale's.

I did not know boxer2valve & Siebenrock also carry the instrument housing
gaskets for sale, that is great!

If you ride east, Hooligan flat track motorcycle racing is also going on at the Fredricksburg fairgrounds that Saturday if you're looking for a potential daytime destination.

Well it appears Yelpers are reporting the location closed.  Maybe we meet in Brandywine?  Continue up CR3 and cross over further up.

I want to attend but my wife is away that weekend leaving me with dog duty. So the best I can manage is coming for part of day on Sat.  If plans change I will let you know

Thanks Kevin

Our goal is to head for slightly cooler air and a day of twisties.

I?m disappointed that Blues appears closed.  The new owner had talked about closing down over a year ago if business did not pick up.  They had good food and located in a nice spot geographically for my riding preferences.

Brandywine works too.

Have a look at a map and see if you want to join Eric and I for the ride to Dale?s if you get no takers to your earlier query.

Down 81 S to Strasberg, Exit onto 55 West, I meet you in Wardensville.  We continue on to meet Eric.

Or,  81 S to 33 West, ride through town and out the other side, we all meet in Brandywine.

Long days ride either way for all of us.  However! we will traverse some excellent little traveled roads from WV East to Dale?s.

If you have not been on 33 West of Harrisonburg over North Mountain that is one of the better MC roads in the East.  This trip or another, it is one for the bucket list.

I will head West on 66 to 81 to Strasberg then go West on 55 through Wardensville on to Moorefield then South to Brandywine.  Longer but I want to ride by Blue?s.

For all of us traversing this distance it will probably require some patience awaiting each riders arrival.

If you decide to do this I will meet you at:   http://www.starmercantilewv.com/

It will be on your right after you pass the Kacapon restaurant.  Two gas stations in town.

We?ll need to discuss eta in Wardensville and Brandywine.

We can call this an early summer Rolling Rally.  Of course anyone else is welcome to join in.

Jim

  Will you riders be doing these miles on this path, Friday, or Saturday ?  I like the idea.

Friday.

My plan is to subject them to the same route East you and I rode West a couple of years ago.  From Edinburgh we?ll head to Luray via the south end of Fort Valley and take 211 over Skyline Drive to pickup smaller roads on the East side for the final leg to Culpepper.

I guess we could hit the bbq place in Edinburgh for lunch if that is open.

With great trepidation I?m leaving my subs unsupervised Fri.

I'm proud to be a longtime Siebenrock dealer, as well as many other parts
suppliers from all over the world.

I'm slowly transitioning my business to a parts, accessories and component
repair focus. I feel like I want to work closer with the Airheads guys who
are doing their own service, and looking to be their supplier of choice. I
really enjoy doing tech seminars and tech days with that audience, and want
to do more of that.

We are putting the finishing touches on our new, expanded and flexible
website, which will reflect this change.

Thanks Jim and Eric. I may have a hard time justifying taking off work that
Friday because I just took off this past week, but I will consider your
offer. I'll let you know if I decide to meet you.Otherwise I'll see you at
Dale's that Saturday.
Cheers,
Craig

I attended supertech and met Todd Millican from Britts and Beemers. I liked
him and am considering purchasing wiring harness(es) from him for my R60/5
project.
Has anyone purchased wiring harnesses from him? If so, how's the quality
and cost?
You're welcome to email me separately if you prefer.

Craig,

As recently as a year ago I remember the /5 wiring harness being available at dealers for less money than anybody could make one for. Things may have changed but I suggest checking this out before spending more money.

Evening Dale et al,

For better or worse I will be recovering and imagine a little hungover this weekend attending my sons Batchelor party. Seems between weather and family activities there is not much riding available. Enjoy your journeys to and from. I will do the same from another perspective.
Cheers Chris

Todd is a gentleman and a great fabricator of harnesses. I highly recommend him and his harnesses.

- I've decided to put my 89 R100RT up for sale and wanted to offer it to the local Airheads before I start listing it on the interwebs.? I just purchased a new ride as my daily and long haul bike so the RT is looking for a new home. This bike has been my rider for the past 3 years now and I wouldn't hesitate to take it anywhere. Its in very good condition for its age,it looks to have always been garage kept as the paint and plastics are not sun faded at all. It does have about a 2in crack in the fairing caused by strap breaking on my trailer and it fell on the trailer railing. I'd like to keep but I honestly cant afford the insurance and tags on 3 bikes plus with my 2 non running project bikes I'm getting very close to crazy bike hoarder territory!? I have plenty of good pictures showing all angles of the bike that I can email to anyone who is interested. The details---
24,349 miles Red Metallic
Michelin Pilot Activs with plenty of treadAlpha ignition and Omega charging system from Motorrad Elektrik1 year old Dyna coilKat-Dash LED installed this SpringNew in box Spiegler stainless brake lines and new pads from Rubber Chicken, the brakes are fine as is,I was just doing an upgrade21in aftermarket windscreen with closable ventAftermarket sidestand 
Corbin seat,also have the original BMW seatOriginal luggage,one box needs a new hinge, I believe they are still availableNew throttle cablesCarbs cleaned and overhauled this past winterAll fluids changed this past Spring

    This is not something I sent.  Don?t open it.  Trash it.  It would appear as if the email hacks who insist on getting in the way of things have struck again.

Good evening Gentleman,

   Anyone who might have half an intention for riding into Culpepper next Saturday, my plan is to leave Annapolis bright and early.  0700 at the earliest, 0800 at the latest.  Backroads through Anne Arundel, Calvert and St Marys County.   Jump the ditch we call Potomac on the Rt 3 bridge.  Once into Virginia, continue on Dahlgren Rd then West towards Fredericksburg and onward to Culpepper.  No hurry, breakfast at a restaurant in Chesapeake Beach along the way.  Feel free to give me a holler if you care to tag along. 

  Just passin? through.

  Bill.

Hi Dale,

I'll be coming in either tomorrow evening or Saturday morning, depending 
on whether or not we're going to have steady rain in Central VA 
tomorrow, or just afternoon storms.     If I do ride tomorrow, I'll be 
meeting Jim McKinna in Brandywine WV at noon and we'll figure something 
out from there.

In any case, I wanted to ask about food and coffee.   Are you taking 
donations and have food planned, or should we bring our own?

I use a hammock for camping, but from google maps satellite view it 
looks like you're all set for trees :)

Thanks,

Eric Z
Richmond

So far a beautiful ride!  My GPS has taken me on several miles of gravel I was not expecting!  A couple of miles south of Leesburg I got on some really nice back roads.  Even the gravel was well behaved.

I hate to bail but I just rescued a dog a few days ago and I need to stay home and give him his medicine. He's got heartworms intestinal worms he just got neutered and there's something wrong with his leg. I should have got a dog with a warranty
Yaall have fun!? I'll see you all this we get closer to last days of summer!

Brad,
God bless you for the rescue.  Too many good dogs are waiting for adoption in shelters everywhere...  Your first dozen oysters are on me at Super Tech in February.

Thanks for the pic Brad.  We missed you! 

 I think your new sidecar buddy is going to need a booster seat.  Looking forward to seeing him when he feels better.

I trust everyone got home safely with a good ride behind them?Jus wanted to give a big shout-out and thanks for a sensational weekend to the whole Simpson family including the ?Killer Weiner? Security Company on high alert for keeping all us degenerates in line. A little rain never stopped the die-hard Airheads from enjoying a good place and great company any time and we proved it this past Solstice at Dale?s. Many happy returns. thanks again, Dale.

Hi Dale   I would like to reinforce David?s comments and pass on my thanks to Carol and yourself for hosting a lovely weekend. I was very pleased to be able to join the happy throng. It was delightful to be among friends that I have not seen since Tech Day. 
With the weather being so threatening the turnout was fabulous. 
Looking forward to joining everyone at Golden Age of Air

Thank you Dale and Carol for hosting all of us that arrived, wet or dry for the weekend.  Really great time.  I also appreciate John having donated his bike for our entertainment.  It was fun practicing all that disassembly, reassembly, twice!  I hope he made it home OK and no really critical nuts or bolts fell off.  Thank you Peter Gruner for sticking with the reassembly.  I could not tell my left from my right after all those hours of wrenching.

Also I have to say I will no longer be impressed reading trip reports of adverse conditions survived on the ADV forum.  Our own AirMarshall willingly entered the storm Friday evening traveling in the dark with not much more light than an old 6v lantern battery would give.  That must have been close to a two hundred mile trip in terrible weather.  The flooding was everywhere. On my way home Sunday more than 24 hours after the storm I encountered wide stretches where waters were still draining out of the fields across my path of travel.  I cannot imagine doing that in the dark.  Those actors on ADV ain?t got nothin? on Will.

David Hamburger?s narrated slideshow belongs in Jim Hopkin?s museum.  Jim has a fabulous collection commemorating the personalities in the history of BMW motorcycles.  David?s is an Everyman story. The trials and tribulations of a young man working towards his goal of BMW motorcycle ownership.  No matter what the obstacles, he persevered.  Traveling all over Europe in his search.  Meeting notables in BMW history along the way.  His story is well told with images and documents to further the narrative.  An inspirational story with lessons applicable to everyone facing adversity in attaining their goals. 

Dale, as ever was the gracious host.  He and Carol kept us supplied with nutritious meals so the rest of us could wrench (play), and socialize.  Never resting, Dale would drop hints as he walked past whatever project was being worked on.  He never got a break from the constant queries for tools and instruction.  My hat is off to you sir.


Looking forward to the next Summer Solstice.  Hope to see all of you there next year.

Jim McKinna

Jim said it best, but he left out David?s bartending prowess. Best ?Dark and Stormy? I?ve had in quite awhile. I?ve already reserved a place in the tank bag for a bottle of Goslings to take to Grimes. 

The ride home was beautiful, and the biggest nut on my bike smiled the whole way home.

Thanks to Dale and Carol for hosting a wonderful event.

John

PS - is there any truth to the rumor Will is hoping for more rain next year so he can ride a moped to the event next time??

Truly a grand time with fellow airheads and outstanding hosts Carol and
Dale Simpson.

I was fortunate to stay in the Simpson Suites for a couple nights during
the torrential rains, and then by Simpson Lake in what then what seemed
like a seemingly small tent on Saturday night, *(the bullfrogs serenaded me
to sleep). *

As an added feature I took a brief ride on the unpaved road in the rain
Friday night on Will's enduro, *( I kind of remember it)*.

David's European production/adventure as a young wanderer was magical, my
time and chats with Jim Mckinna memorable, and the camaraderie with the
rest of the attending crew was as always a great escape from the rush of
the city and a calming effect on my type "A" behavior.  I'm always
impressed with the technical talents of airheads, amplified by the
extensive work on John's bike.

'Till next time, we ride.....

Message-ID: <CAJ4SXh_m9Kgjof27X4DncgdFBYzX71mwMeF3MHdiBzCws_-4pg@mail.gmail.com>

 Hedz,

Once again... if you missed it, you missed a good one...

This year's tech weekend extended into three evenings for some attendees
who showed up Thursday evening and could have pushed to four if Jim McKinna
hadn't scheduled a delivery of materials to his 'last job'...

For those of you who have been to Dale and Carol's tech weekend, you
understand that this tech day is unlike others.  The core group of
attendees and smaller scale makes one feel as thought they are attending an
annual reunion where you know everyone and are really interested in what
they've been up to the past year...

The workload was lighter this year with only one major project on the
bench.  John Eckenrode came in either Thursday or Friday with a post 82(or
is it an 83?) R100RS for a rear main seal job and rear disk brake sort
out...  The bike was on the lift Friday with many eager hands ready to tear
it down, and that's just what happened.  Jim McKinna, Dale, Peter Gruner,
John and others got into it pretty quickly and even gave me a call
regarding removal of the clutch carrier mid day.  I didn't have an answer
and they figured it out before I could find additional information on the
internet.

That call prompted some thinking about how my work life balance has been a
little off-off kilter and how I might work to realign a few things...

I had hoped to be there for most of the weekend and was initially planning
a Thursday arrival as well to rebuild my spare transmission, but alas it
was not in the cards...  I thought I might get out of work and on the road
by 2:00, but the timing slowly slipped away until I was firing up the bike
just before 6:00PM.  What irked me most about leaving at this time was that
I had to blow-off Craig Barnhart who I had initially planned to meet in
Frederick for a leisurely ride down there.

No matter though regarding the departure time... it was the second longest
day of the year and with only slight rain at the time, so I figured I'd
easily make the 140 miles by dark.  It was not meant to be... First, I
wasn't riding my R80. I was on the 223cc single dual sport, which in itself
is a pretty fun little motorcycle, but not one meant for swallowing huge
sections of asphalt between stops... probably something to do with the 1.5
gallon tank, 50/50 knobby tires, maximum speed of approximately 65mph on
generally flat terrain, and poor excuse for a headlight. Jim McKinna's
comment about a 6v lantern is pretty accurate!

That and more rain than I can remember riding through since Chris Kennedy,
Sean Hembree, and I rode to the Gathering of the Clans Rally in 2012 and
the 2014 Rolling Rally return trip from WV with Eric Zwicky and others.

Parts of the 522 outside of Culpeper had six or seven inches of standing
rain in low lying areas! Most cars were rolling slow with flashers on.  I
thought of the whole thing as one giant stream crossing and rolled through
these areas at relative speed.  It was hoot except for the low visibility!
After four hours I pulled in soaked to bone and ready for a entirely
different kind of dark and stormy. Lucky for me David Hamburger was present
and I was with drink immediately.  I was so cold and wet, for a brief
moment I thought a hot beer might be a good idea...

After the initial hellos and drink in hand, I was a little surprised to see
people still working actively on John's bike. It was 10:00PM and these guys
were on a mission. Apparently the rear main seal was not fully seated and
when the bike was reassembled the motor failed to turn.  Of course, we
didn't know what the cause was at this point, so a second tear down ensued and
was completed in record time.  That's when we found the main seal
protruding just enough... Wrenches were put down at midnight and picked up
bright and early the next day.

The bike was put back together, in the morning and some serious work was
done to revive the rear disk brake system. Turned out there was an air
pocket beneath the rear MC that once removed freed the system to work as
well as it ever did- which still leaves much to be desired! John test rode
the bike and then it was ridden home!

Eric Zwicky pulled his bike in the garage Saturday as well for a KatDash
install (note to self and others- always inspect the instrument cluster to
be certain no debris slips past the speedometer and odometer as we found a
small piece of something trapped under the instrument face once it was
fully assembled and on it's way back onto the bike) and a front MC brake
fluid replacement.  Most airheads keep their bikes in top condition, so
there was relatively little work to be done in the middle of the riding
season.  Offers were made for valve and timing adjustments, but there were
no takers...

The hospitality Dale and Carol extend is warm and welcoming.  The food is
always good. John Eckenrode provided venison for burgers and some backstrap
which was excellent. During our lunch conversation he indicated that he
might have to take another deer this fall in support of the tech weekend.
Good idea John..

A few highlights for me from conversations that are now a part of the
lexicon of the group's inside jokes include-  Good... but NOT too good...
your's truly  Clean... but NOT too clean... Craig Barnhart (referencing his
desire to not have the vapor honing of his project bike's case parts
outshine the rest of his restoration)  and  We CAN DO patina... Dale
Simpson!

We are absolutely getting shirts made.

David's documentary on his trip to the UK and tour as a young man was
masterful and so inspiring.

Most people were packed and heading out before noon Sunday, with some folks
up and gone much earlier.  There was a threat of rain coming from WV, and I
didn't have a lot interest in riding back in the rain...  Craig and I
headed out of Culpeper together and met up with Florida Airheads Kim and
Ricci riding K bikes on a long tour at a local gas station.  We had met
them last summer at the 25th Gathering of the Clans Rally. I remembered
Kim- greying hair in a ponytail with a beard... hardly an identifier in the
airhead community...  They said they would be at the RA, so we figure we'll
see them there in less than a month.

We continued north on 522 to Front Royal, picked up 340 through Harper's
Ferry, then caught RT 17  north to RT 77 and then east to Westminster. The
last 25 miles had me nearly cursing aloud at not having the airhead back
together.  340 plus miles on a 223cc bike was almost too much for a two day
weekend...

Dale mentioned that he and Carol will keep doing the tech day as long as
people are willing to show up for it. They are wonderful people and put on
a great weekend- and the added bonus is that not only does Dale have
everything you need to put a bike together... he knows how to do it too...

I've said it before and I'll say it again.  It's one of my favorite
weekends of the year and I plan on being there next year.

If you didn't make it this year, make your calendars for next June.

I set up a folder for this year's Summer Solstice Tech Weekend. Feel free
to drop photos for all to see.

And lastly- the pig roast is this Saturday June 30th. Would be good to see
you folks there...

We are leaving for the RA Wednesday evening July 18.  I will be on my
airhead. The thought of a thousand mile weekend on the enduro is enough to
give anyone night terrors...

Hope to see you all on somewhere on the road...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
It was wonderful to have you visit. I enjoyed this event more than any other we have had here because of the length of time I was able to spend with some of you. My apologies to Jim, Eric and Will for failing to deliver sunshine on Friday for you to ride. Using here as a base is something I hope will continue in the future. Waiting for Will to show up Friday night was a bit nerve racking but when he pulled in around 2200 with a candle for a headlight we all felt better. Saturday morning brought another surprise with Chris showing up. I thought Chris's sons bachelor party would have prevented that. Another surprise was my pal halftrac who I worked with 30 years ago at the LOC stopping by. Big thanks to Mike for manning the grill and John for filling it with venison. Davids presentation Saturday night will be impossible to top until he makes another one about the people he met in Europe in 65. I'm sure I have forgotten someone or something but rest assured I appreciate everyone and everything that went into making SSTW run as well as it did. Our door is always open to anyone passing through the area. From the entire staff here at The Dovetail Resort Spa and Conference Center we thank you for coming and hope you will be back next year the weekend after fathers day 

D/C

 Hedz -?
  I would really enjoy doing this, but 7 Springs ain't cheap.Any chance that I could talk one of you into going? and splitting a 2x queen bed room ?Looks like my buddy Richard Garre and his Mark 1 Guzzi Lemans may also be making the trip with me...
My plan would be to truck (F-150 bed) or trailer the bike(s) out to 7 Springs on Friday(It's a haul on a 47 year old bike and the PA Turnpike is one slick mess when its wet)Enjoy the festivities on Friday, Sat and Sunday and truck home Sunday afternoon ?Interested ???

 Vintage bikes, fine country roads, amazing food, and great company: what more could you ask for?! Don't miss the third annual?Motorcycle Classics Ride 'Em, Don?t Hide 'Em Getaway!?
 
 Join the editors of Motorcycle Classics and this year's special guest, internationally acclaimed motorcycle journalist Alan Cathcart, for our third annual weekend of hanging out with great people and riding and sightseeing in the rolling Laurel Highlands of southwest Pennsylvania. The area is something of a best-kept secret, with miles of two-lane roads weaving their way through the surrounding countryside. Last year?s event drew nearly 60 riders for a relaxed weekend of riding. We?ll roll down miles of fantastic backcountry road through some of the most beautiful farmland in the country. All packages include lodging, a welcome reception, a post-ride homecoming dinner, and breakfast at the resort?s Slopeside restaurant. Secure indoor motorcycle storage is also included.
 
 A limited selection of classic 1970s motorcycles ? including models from Ducati, Triumph, Norton, Yamaha, BMW, and more ? will be available from RetroTours
 as an added option ? first come, first served!
 
 RetroTours, along with the great people from Bonhams auction house, Federal Motorcycle Transport, Pecard Leather Care, and Spectro Performance Oils are all official sponsors of the event.

Hey Allen,
I spied the airhead flag in the background!

Will put on a feast in Westminster today.  Perfect weather.  A few Airheads in attendance.

Allen,

I?ve been meaning to follow up on your query about what do people do about their body armor as time passes.  Last fall I ran an inventory of the armor in various jackets I?ve had for a number of years.  I was very surprised to find a number of pieces quite degraded.  A few to the point that I extracted them from the jacket or pants in pieces.  Must have been very low quality.  Worth checking.  And the reason I originally replied buy a new jacket and pants.  Only partly flippant.

Also I was reading recently some advertising for someone?s jacket and they were touting the benefits of their zipper system where you could leave the front unzipped for extra cooling.  Problem with that is I have noticed that if you crash with the jacket not fastened at the neck it may tend to peel off your shoulders upon contact with the ground leaving your upper body exposed to at a minimum some road rash.  Well, no one ever said it was a safe sport.

Jim
