FYI Mac Kirkpatrick Glenmoore, PA "After all, what is adventure, but inconvenience, properly regarded?" C.

To: Mac Pac <mac-pac@...>, Delaware Valley BMW Riders <[email protected]>, Dominic Pirocchi <dominic@...>, Chris Doran <marley_scrooge@...> Cc: Vince Kelly <lvbeemers@...> Here is a post today from the president of the MOA. This is huge and something that has never happened before. If anyone questions the value of their MOA membership, this should put that to rest. I am sure more will be coming out about this, but this was posted to the MAO facebook page this morning. Bruce McKelvy MOA Regional Coordinator. -- Bruce McKelvy BMWMOA Regional Coordinator

Article by Cook Neilson; Cover Story

I have a 1976 R90/6 and the right rear turn signal is intermittent. The front right turn signal works fine. The flasher on the instrument cluster does not flash. A few times the right rear has started flashing intermittently and when it does, the flasher on a instrument cluster also flashes. Is it possible the flasher relay could be bad or does that work for left and right side? All the wiring and connectors seem to be fine. and nothing wrong with the bulb.

Supposedly on Thursday, I will receive both my 74 and 76 R90s. It has been almost 7 years since I have last seen them. The agreement for my 65th birthday was to have the 74 Restored and I would give the 76 to the mechanic. Called the shipper, and he ferried both bikes to Washington State where the Mechanic started a new supervisor job and a dealership. His vision was to have time during the evening and weekend to work on them and it would take a year. One year led to another and another, another move back to Az, another date promised. Another job change, another date promised, and more sad stories. Now, the restoration now sits in boxes of parts, the engine case is painted black, and all the new parts are not so new any longer. I haven't seen the bikes since they rolled into the shipper's truck, plus boxes of parts. A threat earlier this year to report them stolen now has built a fire to get the parts back to me this week. It was supposed to be last week. I have lost my passion for the 90s, at 74 my riding years on a 90s is no longer possible. I have a Heinrich and a regular tank, freshly painted. The cockpit, fenders, and 3/4 seat are all painted. I weighed my options. Sell as a package, build on, and/or part out a little at a time.

Would someone chime in and tell me which year and/or model of mirror this is? Identical to the ones on my 77S but without the adjusting nut. ‘ Thanks

Hey Guys After a whole lot of sole searching, I've decided that it's time to let my R90s go to a new home. I'm the original owner of this bike. It is 100% original. Mechanically it is in great shape and I have just had the carbs rebuilt. Cosmetically, the biggest flaw on the bike is a nick in the paint on the top of the gas tank.(See pic of the top of the gas tank. The bike has 18,425 miles on it. It comes with a set of Krauser bags which I purchased in 1977. At this time I was hoping the group could give me some idea as to the value of my bike. I've seen restored bikes out in the market, however I'm not sure how to comp those prices against an original. So any feedback on a realistic market value would be appreciated. Thanks... Tom

Just a quick update. Well known prolific writer, author, rider and enthusiast Ian Falloon has agreed to attend the upcoming Fall rally from Australia. Also, British adventure world navigator, Elspeth Beard accepted my invitation but we have not come to terms as of this moment. Just give me more time, I think it will happen. This is in addition to the following guests: HansA Muth, Helmut Dahne, Steve Mclaughlin, Udo Gietl, Tom Cutter, Schorsch Martin, Wes Fleming & Daren Dortin from Airhead 247 Podcast. So stay tuned as this evolves! Ian Falloon Elspeth Beard Website & registration through Ticketspice is about to go live in the next day or two. Happy Motoring, Enjoy the Ride, Todd Trumbore PS. Reminder the Delaware Valley BMW Riders have our monthly meeting this Wednesday, 1 March, 7PM Piccolo Trattoria, Rt 611 Doylestown. Hope to see you all there.

I request your help in spreading the word! I have been contacted by Rob Kain & Spencer Myers asking me to assist them in gathering a collection of significant vintage to contemporary BMW motorbikes to be displayed at a special 100th BMW Motorrad Anniversary exhibit next year at the AACA museum. The bikes will be needed for approximately six or seven months at their museum in Hershey, PA. I plan to bring a couple from my collection and I really hope some of you will step up and do the same. Please contact me at your earliest convenience. I'd like to hear what you have to offer. Your assistance is great appreciated! Also, Jackie Jouret & Rob Mitchell have contacted me regarding a display at the BMW CCA/MOA museum in Greer, SC for next year called: BMW Motorbikes a Century of Innovation. They requested and I have agreed to loan them one of my R100RSs and a R65LS motorbike. I also agreed to supply one of my R80 G/S motorbikes, most likely the Gaston Rahier PD. BUT, that means I have some work to do finishing the restoration on my G/S PD. it's almost winter, not the best time of year to do the work I need to do, but when push comes to shove, I can get it done, especially when there is a fire under my ass. Now, that being said, if someone has an already completed and well presented R80 G/S or PD they would like to offer, please let me know soon. Here's the deal: the bikes should be transported for delivery to Greer SC between the dates of Jan 30 and Feb 15th 2023. The bikes will be on display from May 2023 to Jan 2024. The bikes need to arrive well before opening ceremonies to be photographed for a special publication. I can transport the motorbikes in my enclosed trailer, so that is not an issue. They are planning on having pretty snazzy opening and closing ceremonies with well known special luminaries. It looks to be a good time. Jackie Juriet is the author of around 10 books and will be writing another book covering this exhibit. Is seems as though it's going to be an extensive display of BMW motorbikes and motorcars. I hope some of you are able to attend this event during the upcoming year. Your thoughts and comments are welcome. Happy Motoring, Todd Trumbore motorrader@... Delaware Valley BMW Riders
