Thank you, PA SuperTech Commission From motorrader at verizon.net Tue Nov 5 12:20:30 2019 From: motorrader at verizon.net (Todd Trumbore) Date: Tue, 5 Nov 2019 12:20:30 -0500 Subject: [PAAirheads] Fall Foliage/Observation Ride 2019, Story +Photos References: <000901d593fd$5318a270$f949e750$.ref@net> Message-ID: <000901d593fd$5318a270$f949e750$@net> Delaware Valley BMW Riders Annual Fall Foliage, Fromhold/Myers Observation Ride Sunday, 3 November 2019 In spite of the frigid early morning temperature, we still had nine riders in attendance at the start. It was too bad that some bailed out for this reason, because of the bright sunshine and very clear skies, it actually turned out to be a terrific day for riding. Yes, we didn?t have as much of the bright Fall foliage, due to the heavy rains and high winds earlier in the week, blowing away lots of the leaves off the trees, but there was still enough foliage left on the trees to make for a pleasant ride. Unfortunately, Stoney Read was experiencing a charging problem with his R90S and didn?t trust the bike to continue any further. It?s a shame he only made it through one third of the ride. Tony Karas and Mac Kirkpatrick were gracious enough to follow Stoney, as he decide to turn around to find the closest Bavarian Ale Haus, no, just kidding. Tony suggested they ride back to his house to park the bike to be picked up later. Walter Michl, said back in the day,? his father would always have his mother drive a truck and trailer and follow the group ride to their destination. Yikes, I hope we don?t have to start doing that! The remaining six of us continued on with the ride to the Point Phillips Hotel. I felt very bad for our hosts at the hotel, because I reserved the whole back room for twenty of us, somehow they thought I said twenty-six, which made the situation even worse, because they brought in extra staff just for us. I had a good feeling we would be well short of attendees, so Walter and I decided to have our better halves, meet us at the Hotel to boost the numbers a bit. Ale and Laura were more than happy to join us for lunch, the food is terrific and we all had a very relaxing time, telling tales while enjoying our meals. John Melchor, Walter Michl and David Zillhardt, filled in for Doug Raymond, telling their fair share of jokes and had us laughing, I failed miserably at the one lame joke I told, so I quickly gave up and let the others take over. Now for the Observation Quiz: This was the only time that we had more questions than riders !! But, they did an amazing job as always answering the questions?I don?t know how they observe so much considering the speeds we are traveling. Congratulations to Chris DeRosa, the winner, who answered 12 of 18 correctly, honorable mention to Dave Zillhardt with 11, Walter and Ale with 10 correct answers. John Melchor, who usually does extremely well and takes great pride with his ability to observe on these rides, had an off day. He claims he couldn?t concentrate, because his mind was preoccupied the whole time, trying to analyze Stoney?s charging problems. When we got to the Hotel, John was extremely busy drawing schematics of the R90S charging system, page after page, even asked Monica our waitress, for colored pencils. Two hours later, he had Stoney?s problem solved. He said Stoney need to drop the bike off at Lou Stellar?s BMW repair shop. Monica, our waitress, was wonderful in doing her best to attend to our many needs. I hope Dan, the proprietor wasn?t too upset at the low attendance and will forgive us. I think the destination is a good one , located well off the beaten path in a nice rural location. The food is certainly very good as well as the service. I hope more of you will be able to join us next time. A big thanks to Tony and Mac for hanging in there to see Stoney home safely. Stoney?.I think you should have a driver and trailer at your ? beck and call?, for the next rideJ.

Thanks to all who braved the chilly early morning temperatures to participate in another one of our club rides. To quote the legendary Karl Duffner ?You know? every time you miss out on a ride, that?s one less ride you will have in your lifetime? and we all know, there is nothing that brings more joy and happiness than a good ride on our motorbike. Keep that quote fresh in your memory. Thanks for those words of wisdom Karl?.we miss you everyday !!

This will be the last time we have an "event" at this location. We have really enjoyed the many previous times we have had to meet airhead members and to assist in the maintenance of their motorcycles. The closing is on 12/6 and this Saturday is the best time to move most of our belongings into the storage unit. We would like you to help between 10 AM and hopefully we can complete the task by 2 PM. A couple of pickups will be good. The weather is forecasted to be overcast & in the 40's - good working weather. Ellen will provide some tasty snacks and a lunch will be available. We will be living out of our travel trailer in southern Virginia until we can find a home in VA or NC that pleases us. As an Airhead member, the Airstore will be the last to be packed up, so bring your requests for product I have on hand. There is a 10% discount on all available items that day. Check online to see what items & sizes are available. You also will be saving any shipping charges.

He, Jack Denton (West Chester) and one other person whose name escapes me, started the Turkey Pro National as something just "to do". They would go from each others' homes in turn, sometimes yearly changing the sequence, then they started visiting other places for more diversity (my home was a destination once), and so it went. He passed away maybe 10 or 12 or so years ago. See http://www.smokeandthrottle.com/2012/02/ Mac Kirkpatrick Glenmoore, PA "After all, what is adventure, but inconvenience, properly regarded?" C.
