[MEairheads] Fwd: Northeast Airheads - Spring has Almost Sprung

Thu Mar 19 10:32:51 EDT 2020

Get out those fairings, windshields and electric clothing and social distance.  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.  Ed

Good Coronavirus morning fellow Maine Airheads.

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!

Northeast Airheads Regional Events

  Tim Hille

Hello Northeast Airheads - It’s that time of year all we NorthEasterners
have been waiting for, but wait, something is trying to interfere with
our plans.

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.

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.

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
<https://airheads.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=88711349599c8af8b431e40d6&id=44c33f602b&e=f0306169c9>-
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.
