[MIAirheads] New Mail list for MI Airheads

[David Strauss]

John

Let’s start planning at tech day for your place.  Jan requires at least a 6 week lead time for stuff in the Airhead magazine. So, that being the case we need to plan and pick a date if this year. 

I need a starter relay for my /5. The problem there is the /5 relay is different than the rest as it has a starter protection that will not allow it to turn the starter motor when the bike is running. You can put in a cheap relay but I opted for an EME /5 relay from Tom Cutter.   60 bucks versus 10 but I am not going to ruin my starter hitting the switch when the bike is running.

The guy has 1.6 million miles on airheads and runs a private shop. I learned a lot that week and I hold a few master's licenses myself. He offered his help but too many cooks can ruin the soup. Was there from Monday to Sunday for setting up and taking down.

Don't like riding south of WB and most yoopers I know believe a passport is needed to cross the Mac. North is better so our Yooper friends won't suffer from the intense traffic ? You and I could pick a date and post a meet and greet. Maybe a campout? $200 can get us a 20×40 tent on my lawn, I have plenty of room for truck and trailers containing BMWs.

I picked up lots of airhead spare parts for my 79 R100rt and 92 r100gs. He's clearing out the complete shop. New old stock in the factory package and tons of used parts. Engines, trans, final drives. Complete bike ready to ride. BMW dealership tools, lifts, new sales literature, every thing a small mom and pop had in the good old days before the bricks arrived. He ships daily. Call him soon.
