 The team at MAX BMW have never been ones to let something as insignificant as say, winter, get in the way of having a good time on two wheels. After test riding the S1000RR in South Florida a couple of weeks ago, we decided to set one up for our favorite track this time of year. See the MAD MAX Machine in the NH Showroom, or come in to either store to see a more street-worthy version! |

Memories below first by Greg Cocks, second by Roxanne Gartrell, both of whom were privileged to have spent time with Liz in her last hours. Greg explains in his letter what the club intends to do in remembrance of Liz Majors. As Greg explains Liz was an integral part of the club and what she sowed, she now shall reap in terms of recognition by this organization. Others in suit will be recognized according to their contributions, those are the undeniable rules of life. Jeff Galligan President BMW Motorcycle Club Of Colorado I came to Colorado around a year and a half ago, joined the BMWMCC soon after - and immediately felt "at home." Once I got to know people, they invited me to not just ride with them - but celebrate Thanksgiving and New Years with them, come around for dinner (including Liz), share part of themselves with me, many things...
We lost Liz to a drunk driver as she was riding the bike she loved on a beautiful evening, and from that flowed an outpouring of support and love from all - not just for me because I was with Liz that night when she was killed - but for each other. I am certain that if, God forbid!, we loose another that outpouring and support will be just as deep & supportive - as it has been in the past I understand, before my time.
It has been awhile since I was in Sunday School, but one thing I do remember from that is (paraphrased) that "You reap what you sow..." Liz was one of those core members of the club that gave the club strength, just by being who she was, quick to laugh, slow to take offence - but also by taking Ladies rides & other things to get some females amongst us old male curmudgeons, being a bright spirit at Paonia which got people out of their seats to dance... and so very much more - she contributed, we respect that, miss that dreadfully - we can only hope to be a little like her... The club, through the board members, would like to recognize this contribution, and as such have a few things planned so that her spirit & example in some way stays with us. We have three major things in mind (i) the State has a program to fund road signs in people's memories, you may have seen them, and we are working with Liz's family to get a sign up at the accident scene, (ii) turning Liz's annual ride for Ladies Dual Sport into a road ride for charity, staffed by volunteers (as you may know, Liz's daughter Annie has cerebral palsy), and (iii) when we want to hang out with Liz at Paonia, planting a tree, with a bench - for all of us to take the moment to remember her fondly.
My words can not even approach the articulateness of another member, Roxanne Gartrell Eddins, past president of the club, co-owner with her husband Steve of 'Beemers & More', and a motorcycle rider & prompter extraordinary herself; her words are below... Thank you, GREG C.

Geezers go to Tennessee |

You're a 67-year old retiree with a bad back, a K1200LT, and have never ridden the Smokey Mountains. Would you suggest to a friend (who also has a bad back) "Let's take a 3,200 mile trip on a motorcycle to Deals Gap!"??? The answer any rational person would give is "NO!!”. But I’ve never been known for making rational decisions when it comes to motorcycles.
The adventure started when I invited my friend Jerry to come to Colorado for the club (BMW Motorcycle Club of Colorado) 100K ride in August of this year. Not wanting to ride the 600+ miles from Lawrence, KS to Longmont, CO in the late July heat, he rented a U-Haul trailer and brought his recently acquired 99 LT out for the ride. Along with his son-in-law (97 K1100LT) and another riding buddy (R75/6), we did the 100K and had a GREAT time. This was the first 300 + mile day Jerry had ridden on the LT and he really liked it. At our lunch stop in Kremmling, CO, I suggested we ride our LT’s to visit a mutual friend who lives in Eastern Tennessee and “do the Dragon”. Must have been euphoria caused by lack of oxygen but Jerry thought this might be possible. We decided on a date that worked for all parties and made plans. 
One wrinkle occurred when my LT broke its throttle cables on a weekend ride with a couple who ride a full dress HD (much embarrassment and friendly ribbing followed). Replacement of the throttle cables was accomplished with minimal “blue” air, only two phone calls to my dealer, and relatively few comments about the ancestors of BMW’s engineering staff. Further comments about the latter were issued when testing revealed the cruise control didn’t work. If you have done this job you know what a PITA it is to change a defective micro-switch on the fuel rail of the LT. Not wanting to delay the trip, I purchased a Cramp Buster and made final plans!!
On a beautiful Friday morning with local temps in the high 50’s, I pointed the LT toward Lawrence and struck out across I-70. A lot of riders say I-70 across Eastern Colorado and Western Kansas is BOOOOOOOORING!! Yes, there is a lot of open space but I like it!! There are no trees next to the road to obscure the view and there is quite a bit to see and lots of time to think. As I ride the plains, the hardships the pioneers endured crossing the plains, walking, riding, and driving loaded wagons, is made crystal clear. Read any of several books written from the perspective of the women who made these westward trips if you would like a feel for what the journey was really like. I much prefer the 100 HP engine purring below and the one plus mile per minute verses the ten miles per day of the former travelers. My “crossing” consisted of stops for fuel, coffee, food, and bathroom breaks. Upon arrival in Lawrence, my friend had a COLD adult beverage ready!! While consuming the beverages we made final plans for the next days ride and called it a day. After a 600 plus mile day across the plains, I slept well.
We departed Lawrence at O’dark-thirty the following morning. A failed attempt at lunch in Columbia, MO, where MU had a home game, delayed us somewhat. We actually sat at one intersection for 20 minutes, no Bullshit!! The cooling fans on the LT do work. In the eight years and 42,000 miles I’ve owned the bike, this was the first time I’d heard them, it wouldn’t be the last time on this trip. On to St. Louis where we rode for over two hours in city traffic - I hate mega cities! When we finally stopped for a lunch break, a lady pulled in front of Jerry and he dropped his LT in the parking lot. Thanks to two strangers, who helped us right the bike, we were able to get lunch and a bit of fuel, because of the “spill proof” hoses we didn’t get a full tank. The individual who invented these gasoline nozzles should be dragged out in the street and publicly flogged! On into Illinois and Kentucky were super slab speeds and the beautiful country faded the memories of events in the mega city. Our planned stop at Paducah, KY was reached without further mishaps. The gods of traveling motorcyclist were smiling on us as it started raining just as we pulled under the motel awning. We celebrated by ordering delivery pizza to the room.
The following day at a Mickey D’s for coffee and breakfast we chatted with a gentlemen and his wife about motorcycle traveling. Turns out he and his wife ride a GoldWing and have traveled all over the US and Canada. Oh, did I mention he was a preacher? He promised to say a prayer for us to have a safe trip. Hey, we take all the help we can get!

The mid-day lunch/fuel stop occurred about two hours out of Knoxville, TN where Jerry pulled off the interstate at a nondescript exit and stopped in front of a small restaurant. Looked pretty “iffy” to me but he insisted we try it.
 The food was excellent home cooking and the homemade pies are baked there!! In fact our waitperson stated she baked the Apple pie earlier in the morning!! With that statement I had to try the Apple. Jerry chose the Chocolate. The meringue had tiny droplets of sugar on top which, according to him, is the mark of a superior pie! If you are ever in the area be sure and stop at the Rose Garden Restaurant for an excellent home cooked meal and GREAT pie! It is now in my Zumo as a favorite!
 Following this excellent lunch and fuel stop, we rolled on Eastward and South of Knoxville to our friend’s home and base of operations for the next two days. Our friends live within a couple of hours of Deals Gap and the Cherohala Skyway and he proved to be an excellent tour guide and food service director. What can you say about the small out of the way bakery where we sat on the deck overlooking a beautiful stream and munched on homemade rolls and coffee, or the local brewery in Gatlinburg, or many of the other places we stopped for “breaks” and enjoyed the local cuisine.
 We did the “Dragon” and so many other roads running along mountain streams, overhung by a canopy of trees that we were in sensory overload. All the roads we traveled were in excellent shape with lazy sweepers and beautiful scenery, with the exception of route 129 “the Dragon” nothing lazy about that road. This is beautiful country and tends to make one want to slow down and enjoy the quiet beauty of the area. However, we had schedules to keep, and taking a page from Ben Franklin’s “fish and visitors” after three days, early the third day we headed the LTs westward toward the Rose Garden for a breakfast stop. There was discussion of pie for breakfast but homemade biscuits and gravy, eggs and bacon won the toss. Don’t tell Jerry’s Cardiologists. The Pecan pie was hot and fresh, but we resisted the urge and made a fast exit before we could change our minds...but we have the location in the GPS.  We had determined, on the trip out, we would avoid St. Louis at all cost, and to that end programmed the GPS for the shortest route to Cape Girardeau, MO., nice back roads with light traffic. The weather warmed into the high 80s which with the humidity proved to be rather uncomfortable unless you are moving. A stop in Cape Girardeau for a large milkshake was a nice cool down and gave us time to plan the next leg of the trip. Being too early in the day and too far from home we decided to press onward to Farmington, Mo. for the evening. This turned out to be a good decision as some of the secondary Missouri highways are excellent for motorcycling. With the exception of getting stopped several times for road construction (see above statement about the fans on the LT) the trip was very pleasant. We had made no advance reservations in Farmington so finding a new Holiday Inn express was a nice lagniappe. The hotel as with most good ones, allowed us to park the LTs under the portico and close to the front desk. With our dietary restrictions (I’m diabetic and Jerry has the heart thing) we chose a buffet style restaurant within walking distance of the hotel to end the day without riding. Before turning in for the evening, we watched the crisis on Wall Street unfold on CNN and went to sleep knowing we, as retirees, would be on the street as beggars when the trip was over.
The following morning after a nice hotel breakfast we started across Missouri toward KC and Engle Motors to pick up some parts for JD’s R100 Airhead he is rebuilding. Someone in the lead (me) missed the turn and we found ourselves in Jefferson City for lunch. North to Columbia (no ball game this time) and West on I 70 to KC for a parts stop. The guys at Engle looked at my LT and confirmed a bad micro-switch on the fuel rail for the cruise control. Not wanting to wait the 2-3 hours for the repair and with 2,800 miles without it, we rolled on to Lawrence, KS, and Jerry’s home for another cool beverage, shower and good nights sleep.
The next morning, again at O’darkthirty, I left Lawrence for the 600 plus mile run home. Jerry mentioned, as I pulled out of his drive, he felt as though he should be going with me. Riding alone after over a week as a duo felt strange and oddly lonesome. However, since I have ridden alone a lot over the years, it didn’t take long to settle into my “mile muncher” routine, ride, stop for gas, ride, stop for coffee and gas, ride stop for gas and bathroom break and ride some more. I used the Scala Rider Bluetooth/Zumo to talk with my wife, daughter, brothers, and anyone else I could think of during the solo jaunt across Kansas and Eastern Colorado. The weather was great with mild temps and light winds, most unusual for this time of year. As I said the trip home was uneventful with one exception, as I turned North on I-25 toward Longmont afternoon traffic was pretty heavy. An individual directly in front of me not paying attention as traffic suddenly came to a slow down, was driving too fast and slammed on his brakes without warning. Keeping my following distance and staying alert, I saw this and hit the brakes on the LT, however a cement tractor trailer behind me didn’t, and as I moved into the right lane within inches of the vehicle of the idiot, the cement truck blew past me at road speed inches from my right mirror. It was so close I felt the wind move the LT!! 3,200 miles and I almost died with 5 miles of my front door!! Thank you guardian angel and perhaps the preacher who said a prayer for us to have a safe trip.
Final thoughts: The Smokey Mountains offer some awesome riding experiences, but they are a long way from Colorado. I still prefer the mountains and western states for riding motorcycles but that is a personal preference. Will I go back? You bet!
How did the bikes perform? We had no problems, not even a flat tire. I had ridden the LT on long runs before but not a trip of this magnitude. I came away with a new respect for BMW’s and the LT in particular. In my not so humble opinion as an ass hauling long distance travel mount the LT has NO peer.
I have always said if you want to know the measure of an individual take a bike trip with them. Even though Jerry and I have been friends for over 30 years we had never really traveled together. I came home wanting to know "Where we are going next year?".

Suzanne's Fall Colors Ride |
|
|
Ride report! I went to Morrison this morning with the intention of going on the club's planned Aspen Leaf Color Ride. The group said they planned to ride to Winter Park, where some were going to turn back, and the rest were going over Trail Ridge Road. Since I didn't feel like riding on I70, and had just been to Winter Park on the 100K' Ride, I decided to ride by myself. I headed South on Santa Fe, and turned West on Hwy 67 to try the road from Sedalia to Deckers, which I don't believe I have ever traveled. I liked it so much, after a delicious cup of coffee in Deckers, I came back that way too. Before getting back to Sedalia, I turned South on Hwy 105 toward Palmer, and then turned East on Perry Park Ave. to visit hubby Steve where he is working in Larkspur. From there, I rode East on East Upper Lake Gulch Rd to Garton Rd. to Lake Gulch Rd. to Hwy 83, and North to home in Parker. Attached are some of the photos I took on my ride. I rode a total of 165 miles today. It was a lovely ride, and very satisfying -- in spite of, or because of, the approximately 15 miles of gravel roads. Nice to ride my own pace without eating anyone's dust, or worrying about anyone behind me, although I did miss the companionship. I hope everyone else enjoyed the day as much as I did. I'll have to do it again when there is more color, but before the snow flies! Suzanne Weston |

Ask someone who has taken it...it is that important. - Photowrangler ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ A note from your president: Call for a helping hand... As you are aware all of the positions in our non-profit organization are held by dedicated volunteers. Many of our volunteers have helped the club to become one of the premier BMW motorcycle clubs in the nation, if not the world. We have a lot to be proud of! The talent and dedication that is exhibited by these volunteers is nothing short of incredible.
One long time volunteer who has had a great impact on our organization is retiring, at least for awhile. Brad Bolton has developed, organized and ran the 100,000 Foot Ride that has been so popular among our members and motorcyclists from across the nation. We have had to cut off registration at 300 riders from it's inception.
Would you like to make an impact on the lives of many, and the heritage of our BMWMCC? Is it time for you to give back and be involved in the organization that enriches the lives of so many? Your club needs a chairman for this event. Brad Bolton has created an easy to follow formula. You are not asked to reinvent the wheel, simply read the simple instructions and lend a hand.
Thank you in advance for answering this call for assistance. I am confident that several members will reply enabling you to share the enjoyment and sense of fulfillment that comes from becoming a part of this fine organization. You are never alone when chairing an event for BMWMCC, there are many volunteers who will help you along the way. Please send a note to me here, and we can discuss it further.
◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊  Dual Sport News is coming soon! New pages, new editor. Its gonna be dirty! ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ S1000RR Roll-Out Never in recent history has there been so much buzz about a new BMW Motorcycle. The S1000RR is now available for demo rides at all dealers. Saturday saw a steady stream of prospective buyers testing the new scoot. There are many blogs, articles and U Tube items so no one should be in the dark about what they are riding prior to the demo. In Colorado we have our own Brad Hendry, Parts Manager for Northern Colorado Euro Motorcycles who attended a briefing and test ride in Florida. His notes are available here. 
BMWNA is currently shipping 600 motorcycles, and should have a total of 1400 stateside by June, and anticipate shipping 2300 to USA by year's end, according to rumor. This bike has the price, power, handling and technical advances that has interest at a high level in the sport bike venue. Generating sales and interest in the brand from a younger generation is one of the main reasons for BMW's commitment to this model. By the looks of things Saturday, it is hitting a home run. ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ Ride Books 2010 Are Here!
Each year one of the best winter happenings is the arrival of the new year's ride book. This year's is a supreme effort by Cathy (our In The Wind Editor), Pat Tabet, and Greg Cocks, our Membership Chairman. These folks worked many hours assembling the rides and ride chairmen, the sponsors and the printer. It is a huge effort each year, but the results for 2010 are stupendous. The book features the details on each of the rides and events for the club for the year. In spiral bound form, the book will last the year well in the tank bag or the coffee table. Pat and Cathy and others rounded up an impressive list of advertisers. Please take a look at the ads and patronize the firms when you are able. This is one of the nice benefits of the club. Spending just a bit of time with this book gets the juices going for a another year of riding!  Have you received yours? They've been distributed at monthly meeting, breakfasts and annual party, so far. If you cannot attend an event in the next couple weeks, they will be mailed, but the cost to mail costs the club, so show up! Many thanks to the Ride Book crew. You Rock!! Passbagger success! The year 2009 was a successful one for those seeking faint fame by bagging more than 50 passes in Colorado. The Passbagger contest is alive and well with three members achieving their goal last year. Congratulations go to Greg Dewitt, Walter Buckholtz, and Tom Ingram. Their names have been added to the “all-time” list of finishers on the Passbagger page.
For those of you who have not signed up yet, these and the other finishers will tell you that the chase is a ton of fun and encourages you to get out and ride all over our beautiful state. Sign up is easy, but contact Dennis O’Neil if you have questions. As a footnote, at the latest CES 2010 in Las Vegas, several manufacturers of small digital cameras (Sony and Casio among them, and the rest soon to follow) announced new camera models that have GPS and digital compass built in. So, in the future, when you crest a pass where the sign has been stolen or trashed, you could just snap a picture of your bike and the foto will show the GPS coordinates as well as the direction the camera was pointed! Slam dunk verification.
