Re: 2016 BMW Bash

I'll say it's north! North of NYC and NJ! Heck of a boring ride from here! I am hesitate to endorse the Marathon location for the same reason I am reluctant to organize another one around here. Lots of good riding but it makes it a burden for the guys from a longs ways away. Except for the hard guy...

Re: 2016 BMW Bash

Doc, thanks for the history lesson. I love history. Now, is that Mason Dixon line at that flat part going across the top of Maryland? For the Bash, I suggest Elkins/ Seneca Rocks area for a pretty good compromise and still be in the good riding zone. How far is that for you? Yes. That line is the s...

Re: 2016 BMW Bash

For the History Buffs: The Mason–Dixon line, also called Mason's and Dixon's line, was surveyed between 1763 and 1767 by Charles Mason and Jeremiah Dixon in the resolution of a border dispute involving Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Delaware in Colonial America. It is still a demarcation line among fou...

Re: 2016 BMW Bash

I thought that Staunton, Va. was a superb location for the Bash and certainly the most well attended. It was the second time that I have attended an event in that city(HSTA 2009). I always enjoy going to a new location every year if it is possible. No location is absolutely perfect. We have had two ...

All the best,

Anyone thawed out yet? Looking forward to the Bash. Same here....the driveway looks like a bobsled run. I'm tired of doing controlled slides just to get out and get to work. This week holds some promise with higher temperatures and some rain in the forecast providing it doesn't freeze overnight. Pa...

Re: 2015 Bash May 15-17, Staunton Virginia

BBXII will be my 9th consecutive Bash. Doc - we should thank CycleRob also. You have been a good addition to the assorted characters that attend these gatherings. Also, a throttle body repair a few years ago kept me from maintaining my perfect attendance streak! But barring personal disaster, I wil...

Home without incident. Great to see you all again. Looking forward to BBXII in 2015.

BTW, I eliminated one more squirrel on the way back to the nest while two others escaped by a narrow margin. I must have seen at least 25 of those tree rats cross my path during the return trip.

Office hours this morning, professional lunch, run home, pack the scoot, and ride on up. An outstanding weather window is forecast for the tri-state area. Should make dinner without an issue.

See you later,

I just returned from a long weekend in Milford at the Myer with MSTA(Motorcycle Sport Touring Association). Great time, terrific roads, superb weather, and the food was delicious. Looking forward to September.

I'm in the process of assembling photos for a slideshow for those who could not attend. If you took photos on your rides, could you send me some pics taken on those rides? I already snagged a few from Buckster and Yong. Thanks Let me download what I have and see if there are any of archival value. ...
