I'd thought of the RA, too, John. Let's keep in touch on that.

Anyone going? I just booked passage on the high-speed ferry from Muskegon, MI to Milwaukee on July 11, for the 4:45 p.m. sailing - the entire boat is reserved for MOA for that departure time. Round trip fare is pricey at $184 (senior rate), but it oughta be fun. Anyway, I'd be interested in hooking ...

I'll jump in here, Tim. I took the ERC in Lynchburg several years ago - I guess the curriculum's pretty standard. Given the low cost and a day's worth of your time, I think the ERC has good value.

I think I'd previousy misread that to mean third from bottom notch rather than third from top. So, I r...

Since I whined a fair amount at the Nov. 7 ride breakfast about motor problems with my R90S, I thought I'd report that all's well. Turned out to be a simple thing - the carb main jet needles were on the top notch which was starving the motor at 4K and above. I think I may have put them in that posit...

My R90S had been sitting for almost two years with some nagging carb and ignition problems that I hadn't been able to lick. When I noticed that Anton was going to start a bike repair shop, I decided to try him out. I knew from his posts on the various Beemer lists that he knew his stuff. I just pick...

I missed Anton's earlier post when he wanted to borrow a trailer...

Anyone hard up for a single rail trailer is welcome to use mine. Located near Amherst.
