Re: R90S Mugs and Winning at Daytona 1976 Mugs @ Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners Site
开云体育Frank has also written and published several books about Budgerigars (Budgie, as in birds). One is about how to raise these birds and the others — three or four — are children’s books. I bought the children’s books for my grandson a few years ago and and he likes them very much.Google ‘Books by Frank Cachia ‘ Available on Amazon Mit freundlichen Grü?en/With best regards, Dennis C.

Re: R90S Mugs and Winning at Daytona 1976 Mugs @ Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners Site
Dear Frank Cachia :-) we printed the latest issue the week before last and have not started to put the next issue together. Our editor had to resign due to his day job, so we are now looking for a new editor, otherwise I would have someone to ask what his plans are for the next issue. Thank you for your patience?with my spelling and for being a member. Best, Mac Kirkpatrick Glenmoore, PA "After all, what is adventure, but inconvenience, properly regarded?" C.

Re: Lost for 45 years
Hello Ted (et al) Thanks for the pictures and history of your R90S purchase. They must be great memories, certainly. I'm not sure, but maybe it's because the images are reversed; which of the three people in the pictures is John Herman? I knew him when I lived in San Diego during the 80's and we were board members of the San Diego BMW club. Does anyone know what may have happened to him? He was certainly one of the kindest and most passionate motorcyclists I ever had the honor to call a friend. Be safe, be well.

I stayed with him ?a couple of nights and also another chap who was on the trip who also lived in San Diego.

G'day guy
I have a mate in Rochester, New York who wants to have his R100RT fairing painted/re-sprayed. He’s having a tough time finding anyone who can paint a motorcycle fairing. Do you know of anyone who can do the job,?? I'll pass any information to him. ? Cheers Frank |
