SHUT UP AND RIDE

Just SHUT UP AND RIDE !

Shut up and ride is what I usually say to my wife. But it was the theme this past weekend at the BMW RA RALLY in Pownal Vermont. We had about 1,500 riders register and great weather for camping! A bit of rain, but only at night and just enough to keep the course from drying out.Here's Scott before the get-offAnd here is Scott after...........Yes, that's a cast!

My wife, Julie even hit some bumps on the Honda XL230 (her sister's).


Here I am on one of MAX's GX 450! Nice ride and lots of fun on the soft track.

Here's the track in the background.

You can see some choose to camp right on the track. They must have set up at night and not realized how close they were to all the action.

Makes me want to buy one..................................................

Special thanks to MAX's BMW we had a blast on the rally course and the

GX 450's MAX provided!

THANK YOU THANK YOU!

GARAGE ENVY!

I recently had the pleasure of meeting a new friend who has the garage of my dreams. Joe, is an avid BMW aficionado. He is also a talented mechanic and a very organized mechanic! Joe seems to possess many other talents as well, which I won't go into now.

Here I am with Joe in his garage.

He had the classics stored in every corner

Here I am checking out a luggage rack for the R75/7.And of course I just couldn't leave the garage without a piece of history. Here's the newest member of my garage! Julie's new R75/7. My wife is fond of Blue!

After her first ride. and hopefully last, in a pick-up truck, I take her out on the road for a

shake down - and I love it!

See you at the RA Rally July 29-August 1, 2010 in Pownal VT!
