Hi Chris!

Yes. I would contact George in Opal, VA:
https://www.beemersuberalles.com/index.html

He has an airhead guy working for him who rides a /5. I and several others
have had our airheads and newer bikes serviced there and we've been very
pleased with them.

I think there is a guy who also does some work in Charlottesville and I
could get his contact info for you if needed.

If you need anything you can email me directly or text me 540-999-8738

Good luck :)
Trevor

Subject: [VAAirheads] 28th Gathering of the Clans is CANCELED
Message-ID: <768981118.99796041.1589083049289.JavaMail.zimbra@embarqmail.com>

Airheads,  I had phone conversations with all who are involved in putting on the Gathering last night and all had some form of saying we need to cancel.   Although NC is in the process of implementing phase one of opening up, the guidelines restrict gatherings of more than ten people, It may be different a month from now, it could be wide open....or it could go back to lock down. The uncertainty is a problem.  There are also two major risks involved. Risk one is being a point of transmission. We like the folks who come to the Gathering, and we don't want to take the chance of them getting infected there. The second risk is financial. Last years washout depleted our rally fund. We normally plan for 130-150 people, food for that size group for two meals is not cheap. This year there is no way to project how many folks would venture out.  Just from the number of emails and phone calls I have gotten, I know folks are craving a road trip and and social gathering (as opposed to distancing). We would like nothing better than to offer that opportunity, but it ain't happening this year. However, you could contact a few friends, select a destination, and have your own mini rally. Take some photos, write a couple of paragraphs and send it to BJan for the Airmail. "What I did instead of the Gathering of the Clans", Brent Hollowell , owner of the camp ground we use for the Gathering, told me he would be open for business, but you will be responsible for your own food and beverage.  Please use your mailing lists, facebook, or other social media you use to pass this information along to folks who might not look at the calendar on the Airheads web page.   Hey folks, stay healthy, be happy and with any luck at all, we will have the Gathering next year.  Charlie #13

Subject: Changes to VA Airheads mailing list
Message-ID: <20200510185547.M80362@casano.com>

Airheads,

As part of a project to make my mail server, "casano.com", more
standards compliant (and hence have more of my email accepted
by other mail servers), I have modified your mailing list as
follows:

The "Subject" field will no longer be automatically prefixed by [VAAirheads].

The "From" field will show the original "From" value of the person who sent
the message.  (Formerly it would say "real-name via VAAirheads".)

Their will no longer be a message footer added that has instructions for
unsubscribing.  However, this information is in the message headers, and
your email client (Outlook, etc) should have a button that says "unsubscribe
from this mailing list" somewhere.

To reply to the entire mailing list, use "Reply-All" in your mail client.
(This is not a change, as that was the setting for VAAirheads prior.)

Hello all,  Sorry about the bad news for the Gathering. I hope all are remaining healthy and making the best of it.  I hope I don't get flamed to badly for doing this, but I have just meet a fellow in my area who would like to become an Airhead but he needs to find one to buy. He is looking for an 80s or 90s R80 ,,,,R100. Hard to find down here in SWVA. so I thought I would try this list to see if anything was available.  Let me know if you have one or know of one. Thanks.  Charlie #13

Dave Cushing and casano persons,

Thank you Dave for that beautiful tribute.

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.

  Mike was a very unique individual. I met him around 2000 or so at my 1st Airheads at the Aerodrome at Wilcox park.That event was a blast thanks to Mike & Karla, and Mikes closest 100 or so motorcycling friends ! I last had a pow wow with him at the RA rally in Wellsboro PA 2 summers ago. Thats where I found out about him being a promoter which explained how the OA always had great bands. One very unique man.

from Annapolis.

I bought the bike in the early 2000's.  It has  41,200  miles on it.  The
year before the Bloombury rally, I had the heads done because of the
recession problem.  After 1000 miles, the wrist pin circlip gave way on one
of our MD rallies in Hancock MD.

Tom Cutter had the cylinder relined for me.  Mark Dulaney helped with the
bearings, replaced the timing chain, just because we were there.  Mark
thought the crank looked ok.

I rode the bike to Bloomsbury without any problems other than it was hot as
hell.  After that I had some problems with cervical stenosis, and my MRI is
a little scary to be riding on a motorcycle.  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?  Back
when I was riding, the bike had new cables, tires, push rod seals, neutral
switch.  I can send pictures if you friend is interested.

Guys-

I don?t know the bike, I did do the cylinder work for Henry.
I will say that Henry Sherwood is a 100% upright, good guy. Honest to a fault.

This bike is certainly worth more than he?s asking.

If I had room in my garage...

Hey folks,  Thought I would share this with you since it will be a while before you read it in Airmail.   Since most (if not all) club activities are being cancelled, folks are gonna have to come up with their own. Now would be a good time to get out and scout around in your area for potential sites to have an over night get together. A simple but possibly fun activity for members in your area. Sponsor a day ride. A good way to meet with other members in your area. Design a face mask that one can drink a beverage with. I have tried cutting a small hole for a straw (compromises the face mask) and a hydration back pack (yucky tasting beer that went flat quickly). Hard to beat a bottle or can that goes directly to the lips!!  If you come up with some activity that you would like others to join in, you may use this list to contact all members in VA, so long as they have kept their email addresses current with the ABC Membership Team.Ride safe and be safe, Charlie #13--- Forwarded Message -----

The bod would like to see this in airmail and on the website.  I will also post this to the AM's list.

Thanks

Garry in Oregon

**************************************************************************************************

BOD COVID STATEMENT

To the members and affiliates of the Airheads Beemer Club from the Board of Directors.  

We have all heard this many times by now - We are dialing with difficult and unprecedented circumstances from the COVID 19 Global Pandemic.  From our families to our local communities and at a global level.  

It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to do our part in this crisis, and that has resulted in cancelation of nearly all club activities especially those involving that in-person camaraderie that we are all so fond of.  

While we all hope and plan to see things return to some sort of normalcy, and to avoid cancelation of even more events in the future, the club leadership feels that we should as a club come together on some basic guidelines.  We are not health experts, and do not intend to establish rules policies or engage in the political discourse surrounding this crisis.

Many of us are anxious to hold tech days, and annual gatherings this season when health experts are asking everyone to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people. In some areas, state and local governments are banning such gatherings for anything other than essential activities. Members are faced with the dilemma of the loss of these wonderful gatherings, or complying with governmental restrictions and also protecting the health of their members. 

If a state or local governmental order prohibits having an in-person meeting, the decision on whether to have the event is easy: You should not hold the event. The BOD reccomends that you follow the governmental orders.

If there are no explicit restrictions, the club leadership hopes and expects that all members organizing and hosting events will follow all local guidelines for the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), gathering sizes and social distancing.  The club does not officially sponsor or support any gatherings that do not fully comply with state and local guidelines.  

Please be safe, protect your friends, family and fellow members and stay healthy for a bright future and prosperous club going forward.Garry Newby

Chairman BOD

Airheads Beemer Club Inc
