Greetings fellow Airheads!

As I sit here eating lunch at my "work from home office" - a.k.a. the 
end of the kitchen island, I see just how nice and sunny it is.? We've 
already had some nice days and I certainly hope that you've been able to 
get some riding in!? Don't let that pesky crap coming in on Friday worry 
you.? It'll be 60 by early next week!

I haven't had the RS out yet although I did get her fired up.? I think 
(or rather, hear) that a valve adjustment is in order along with a final 
bleeding of my front brakes.? Recall I finished out last year rebuilding 
my master cylinder and, working alone at the time, I don't feel I got it 
bled adequately.? Although when I grabbed the brake lever a couple weeks 
ago, I noticed it felt firmer than it had or perhaps just firmer than I 
remember?? It's possible that, sitting all winter the residual air may 
have bubbled up eventually?? I'll probably give it a few more pulls anyway.

Fellow rider and friend Adam Gilpatric and I drove to NY a few weekends 
ago to pick up another bike, an 1100R.? I know not an airhead.? It's 
still a sickness.? So I'm sitting currently at 5 bikes but as soon as I 
get the front clip for our 1100RS back from being fixed and painted 
(from a soft tar incident) and the bike reassembled, I'll sell the 
1100RS.? I can't justify 5 bikes.? 4 is hard enough.

Let this also serve as a reminder if you have paid your ABC dues, please 
do so!? Easy simple online!

  Mike Friedle Memorial Event


  Please join us on Saturday July 17, 2021 at 3 PM at Wilcox Park in
  Milan NY as we celebrate and remember Mike Friedle. As the NY Air
  Marshall for many years he was well known in the BMW community. He
  organized the ?Airheads at the Aerodrome? rally and this would have
  been the 25 th year of that great event.
  Mike?s wife, Karla and daughters Johanna and Alice are hosting a
  catered dinner from the new time of 3 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. followed by
  your time to share stories and memories of Mike. There will be live
  music performed by one of Michael?s favorite local musicians, Jeff Entin.
  Registrations are on a first come, first served basis to ensure that you
  have a seat. Space is limited, so send your registration early (additional
  document) to Sioux Harris to ensure your spot. We need your
  registration for the dinner no later than July 9. As always, those who
  are not registered will not be able to attend. Registration does not
  cover camping. New park management requires campers to arrange
  their own camping.
  This is a one-day event- BUT- those wishing to make it a full weekend
  can register directly with Wilcox Park for a campsite:
  https://www.dutchessny.gov/Departments/Parks/Wilcox-Park.htm
  Campsites at the park are limited, so we encourage you to arrange your
  site right away. There are additional campsites and motels in the area.
  Contact Sioux for more information.
  Campers will have coffee available in the morning for a donation. There
  are hot showers, a swimming beach, fire rings, great local riding and
  restaurants.
  There will be some door prizes, t-shirts, and an informal swap meet.
  Michael had great respect for the Hudson River Housing?s Homeless
  Veteran?s Programs. In his honor, collections may be made to benefit
  the programs; we will be doing a 50/50 during dinner as well.
  Please join us for this special event.

Definitely overdue!? It had been some time since they were adjusted, 
certainly before I left on my 2019 jaunt to the Finger Lakes and the 
Virginia BMW Rider's Association? rallies.? They were all somewhat tight 
as expected but the right hand exhaust was VERY tight, like can't move 
the rocker at TDC tight.? But we're set now.? And ahhhhhhh the sound of 
a freshly valve-adjusted airhead!? I found my front brakes adequate, 
enough to give me confidence in them.? I will probably do a couple more 
bleed pulls on it just to be sure when I freshen up the oil for the 
season too.? I did ride her some early in the season last year until I 
noticed the brake fluid drip, then she went down until much delayed 
parts arrived.? By then the season was over.? Looking forward to getting 
some miles on her this year as we're HOPING to make the trek down to the 
RA rally in NC in August.? We'll see.

So.. What are you all working on?? Let's see 'em!

Morning folks!

So we've been working the food truck angle and perhaps should have had some
prior knowledge beforehand.  Apparently the truck gets paid to show up , in
case no one shows or the event is rained out, especially when we're looking
at 30+- people.  I get it, the upfront costs of being prepared.  In our
case the truck was looking for $1500.

The good news is that our gracious host Ande is willing to eschew his
wrenches and specialty BMW tools for a spatula and grill! There will be
breakfast sandwiches and coffee for the early arrivers and burgers and dogs
and drinks for the lunch crowd.  As is SOP for Airhead functions, there
will be a donation can do we can cover Ande's costs.

Can't wait!  On a side note, I rode the RS to work this morning! What a
glorious, if far to short ride!

Best,
Nik Rende
