Mike Friedle especially seemed to enjoy booking the music programs for the BMW MOA Rallies. He seemed to know a lot about the bands, what kind of music would be most enjoyed by the rally attendees, and he absolutely loved planning those musical events with all the mind-numbing details, complications, and last-minute-changes involved. I remember him standing at the gate of the Vermont Rally two or three days before the Rally opened, checking his list of workers for each person arriving at the gate. I arrived at the gate on my R60/7 behind two rough-looking guys on oilheads wanting to crash the pre-rally working group. Those two were apparently hoping to camp and drink and party on the rally-grounds despite the fact that Mike had announced in advance seventy-dozen times in every forum available that early admittance would be denied to anyone not working to prepare for the rally. Those two guys yelled at Mike, told him they had ridden a thousand miles, told him they had no place to stay, told him they had always checked in early at rallies before, told him that he was a rotten decision-maker and worse, etc., etc. Mike coolly and calmly and politely and firmly told them there was no admission, no admission, no admission. Finally they realized he could not be intimidated nor influenced by them acting out. They turned their oil-heads around (with Mike strategically located between them and the rally grounds) and they roared off in disgust. I came to the gate next and Mike was just as friendly and unflappable with me as if nothing had happened. My name was on his list and he welcomed me in and ushered me through the gate with a smile! The last time I remember talking to Mike Friedle was at the Saturday Banquet at an Airheads Pennsylvania Super Tech. Mike had a pair of big glasses or goggles that distorted the vision to make the wearer disoriented and clumsy like one would be while intoxicated from drinking alcoholic drinks. Mike was offering to everyone the chance to wear the special glasses and try to walk along a straight line on the floor. His main point was that we may feel okay after drinking, but we are probably not nearly as functional as we think. After each person's failure to walk the line -- and everyone did fail -- he stressed that it was not a good idea to operate any motor vehicle, and certainly not a motorcycle, after drinking alcoholic beverages. Our club has a void now without him. All of us who met him through the MOA, the ABC, or otherwise, will certainly miss him.

It has 41,200 miles on it. The year before the Bloombury rally, I had the heads done because of the recession problem.

Then rotator cuff problems, followed by heart valve replacement and more complications. Finally I got the nerve to ride the bike again, took it to Chris Kennedy's Technobarn and one of the attendees who came in a car, backed into it in the driveway. That put some small short cracks in the windscreen and a small crack in the fairing. I replaced the mirror and it is a cosmetic, not a functional problem. That seemed like a bad omen to me and I parked the bike and drained the gas tank. The death of my friend and neighbor, Mark Lipschitz absolutely killed my nerve to get back on the bike. I was thinking of selling the bike to Bob's. I am moving in July and I absolutely need to get rid of the bike. Having been out of the hobby I am not certain what to ask, $2000?

June 19, 20 & 21 Message-ID: Hanover Camp & Ride. June 19, 20 & 21 Opportunity Knocks! For the first time in recorded history there is going to be a ride to and around the Hanover, PA area. For those not familiar with the area it is about one hour south of Harrisburg, one hour west of Lancaster, two hours from Baltimore and twenty minutes east of Gettysburg. Or, it?s half way between York and Gettysburg. Our hosts will be Chris and Marge Erickson at their place near Codorus Park, just outside of Hanover. Facilities include camping among the pines, a barn/workshop, paved parking for the bikes and plans for a campfire on Friday and Saturday nights. The area includes some very nice rural riding in southern York county, Adams county and northern Maryland. If your idea of a great day is all day at 30-40 mph on twisty back country roads, then this is a trip to consider. Several rides are planned as options for Saturday. They vary in length depending on the weather and the desire of the particular group. Some short, local rides can be self guided to get a feel for the area. Two longer rides are to be guided by Walt (Colonel) and Chris on Saturday. Both will end in Gettysburg at our dinner location. Certainly setting off for a day on your own is an option as well. Details will be clarified over supper on Friday. Schedule Arrive Friday after noon, set up camp, meet Scout & Maggie (and Chris and Marge) and hangout or go for a short local ride. Supper around 6 or 7. Discuss Saturday options. Campfire and/or sit back, sip on a cool brew and play with the dogs. Saturday head out on the bikes. A day of riding over mostly quiet back roads. Lunch locations to be determined during the trip. It might be prudent to bring a snack along as lunch time might vary. One ride, guided by Walt, will head into the hills and valleys of Apple country in Adams County. They will then go to Gettysburg and a ride through the battlefield. Part of the afternoon is to be free for further investigation of the battlefield and surrounding area. Being June the weather should be beautiful but remember Gettysburg, just before the 4th of July, will have some traffic due to the tourists being in town. The second option for a long ride is following Chris. This will cross southern York county to the Susquehanna River and cross into Lancaster county. Once there the route goes north on River Road until reaching the Columbia/Wrightsville area and a stop for lunch. After lunch there is a faster ?sprint? taking 30 west to Gettysburg and perhaps a similar ride through the battlefield. If you haven?t done the battlefield ride before the road is nicely paved and ONEWAY, so the route is pretty nice. There are places to stop, stretch and get different views of the battlefield. The down side will be the traffic that can be expected. Saturday supper is planned for the Appalachian Brewery, adjacent to the battlefield. They do not take reservations here so smaller groups, at slightly staggered times, might be the way to go. They have a good selection of beer and a very good menu as well. They even have several options (if memory serves) of vegetarian should someone be so inclined. >From supper we have a more direct and easy ride back to camp. Around the fire we can relive the trip of the day. Sunday will be breakfast of coffee and donuts from a local DD. This can be a leisurely affair with discussion on the porch of alternate routes home and ideas for next year. Should we have some weather on Saturday that dampens the ideas of glorious long country rides, there are a few options. The immediate area has some very nice rides of an hour or two. Additionally, there are actually some local restaurants that will provide a selection of take out (for lunch) that can be brought back and enjoyed in camp. Camp itself is the home of Chris & Marge and Scout and Maggie(resident Border Collies). They have six acres, a log home, studio and barn. Should the weather be really nasty, the barn can be opened into a gathering space and some minor wrenching can commence on various bikes. While no serious tear down is likely, some tweaking, tuning and adjusting can certainly take place. The barn workshop is home to Chris? five motorcycles, several vehicles, welding gear and a variety of masculine stuff. Good weather or bad, this area is available. Need a little welding done? Bring it. If all the airheads that have been ridden in are in top form, Chris does have an R25 that has a little timing issue. Perhaps a meeting of the minds can come up with a solution. The shop includes a good selection of tools as well as a nice hydraulic lift. Meals Friday supper - pizza & beer on site. Saturday breakfast - pancakes & coffee on site. (Chris on the griddle) Saturday lunch - on the road Saturday supper - Gettysburg Appalachian Brewery in Gettysburg Sunday breakfast - donuts & coffee courtesy of Dunkin D. Beer/wine/liquid refreshment is up to you. Several coolers will be available with ice as needed. Tents and associated equipment are recommended. Chairs, tables, etc. will be provided for breakfast on the porch on Saturday. The porches are also available anytime for gathering & relaxation (there are several). Porta-potties will be on site for campers. A selection of tent sites are available among or out from under the trees. Parking is in the circle or in front of the barn. Codorus Park, about a mile away, has a variety of hiking trails should someone wish to spend the day there. Fishing in the lake is also an option. They have a website for further details. Detailed directions will be provided for those that sign up for the event. Cost will be $30 per person. Limit of 25 people. Sign up now.
