I managed a ride a week or so ago when it was in the low 60's. The 77RS fired up after some enrichening and cranking but idled well and ran like it was yesterday. If nothing else here in the north east, nothing's been canceled yet because it's still too cold to do anything.? The first event that I know of is the RSM Frozen Buns campout April 24-26 at Barnes Field CG in Gorham NH.? I would say that we should stay tuned for more information as that event gets closer.? Likewise for the Frosty Nutz campout at Wilgus SP in Ascutney VT the following weekend.? The best I have is stay tuned. What this pandemic needs is some nice warmer weather so we can all practice some two-wheeled social distancing. Don't forget to renew your Airheads membership.? It's March 2020, you know who you are!

It is times like these that I most cherish the Camaraderie of the Airheads, we may be forced?to stand 6 feed apart, but in some cases that could be good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ An Airhead Coral on the Forest Road between Chiricahua National Monument and Portal AZ but my Pony was having none, so we road on... When last I contacted you all, I was promoting the upcoming spring events, and as the eternal optimist, I am going to provide that same list once again and say keep your plans intact and find the silver lining in the latest events. My key takeaway from the current circumstances is that it is making me appreciate what I have and recognize what I had begun to take for granted, like the freedom to stop at the grocery store on my way home from work and actually find anything I wanted on the shelves. ?This past week since my return from AZ, has reminded me of trying to shop for food in Cuba when I visited there a few years ago. ?They live like that all the time, we will all get through this, and come out the other end better for it. Now - Back to Airheads business - repeat of the list of events from my last blast. ?No cancelations that I am aware of yet. You can always go to the Airheads.org WhAIR & When Calendar to find even more events - Here are just a few highlights for the Northeast region. Yankee Beemers Frosty Nutz Campout - May 1-3, 2020 Camp with the YB's at Wilgus State Park in Ascutney Vermont! Bring a sweater. Northeast Airheads Spring Swap Meet, Saturday May 9th, 2020 ?- You loved it when we did it indoors in February, imagine how much more fun it will be if we hold it outdoors in the Spring. CNY Spring Tech Day - Hosted by Jim Wells - Jim is stepping up to keep this event going as the Original Host cannot make it happen this year. ?I met Jim at the SuperTech this past weekend and he described the plan and hosting location and that made me envious that I cannot attend. 25th Annual "Airheads at the Aerodrome" Campout - This is the one of the East Coast events you cannot miss. ?This year will mark the 25th Anniversary of this signature Airheads event. ?Hosted by Mike Friedle. ?I can tell you from personal experience that this event sells out fast, and with the special anniversary it is likely to go even faster. ?I also have it on good authority that there will be a special edition 25th anniversary T-Shirt available to registered participants that you will not be able to obtain any place else. ?Normally Mike does not even advertise this event, but I had to help get the word out. ?So, see the WhAIR When Calendar for the details. ****** In order to stay off the obvious and perpetual subject that seems to be in every other email and news story, I am going to resort to sharing some snippets from my month of working remote and the Chaos Ranch Rendezvous gathering I just hosted in AZ My trip this year was not the 3k ride through Mexico that I did last year, but I did manage to get some Airhead adventuring in between maintenance projects and before the max attendance of 20 arrived at Chaos for the 3rd annual Chaos Ranch gathering. Highlights for this year - * Early arrival Jim managed to go down on the GS Challenge driveway section and snap off his windshield. ?Not to worry, I got the backhoe out the next morning and smoothed everything out. * We reached the max attendance of 20 this year even though Mark my ever present riding buddy did not make the trip. ?We had 3 AMs in attendance. * The back road to Mt Lemmon was open thanks to the unofficial opening by some adventurers a few days ahead of us with a very large bolt cutter. ?None the less, we took full advantage and made the 5000 foot climb in 1 hour and 10 min. - I will try to share videos on a future post Gathering at the top before the ride to the snow line near the summit. * The Gentle Giant got and upgrade and almost all attendees took advantage and had a spin - So, don't let life get in the way, get out there and ride like the wind and be free again. I hope you are all making plans to attend the Black Bear Americana Music fest this fall, it is shopping up to be the Airhead event of the season. ?See the Web site and Airmail for more details.

Great to hear you got a ride in on your 77RS. I've been itching but my long muddy driveway has keep my 81RT on the battery tender. The only ride I'll get soon is if I trailer a bike out to the street or get a sidecar or trike. I was really hoping to do a ride on the Spring Equinox but I don't want my first 2020 ride to be in the rain :) Edward On 3/19/20 7:43 AM, Nik Rende via MEairheads wrote: > Good Coronavirus morning fellow Maine Airheads. > > I managed a ride a week or so ago when it was in the low 60's.

Traffic is definitely reduced in the Portland area with restaurants and many businesses closed. I'm afraid Frozen Bunz, Frosty Nuts and even the Downeast Rally with it's large number of Canadian attendees may be in jeopardy. At last we have a good excuse to keep our helmets on when walking into a store. Get Riding.
