Dang I thought I could change the oil in my K1100LT - my first stab at taking care of the bike myself. But took a short cut. I thought the the filter wrench that I had would fit - no no - German clearances don't allow for Grand Auto carbon reenforced plastic tools. Dang Does anybody have a wrench I could brorrow before I decide to just put it back together and change the filter next time? I'll hold off until tomorrow to put the cover back on in case one of you folks can help me out. GBA/tlf Commented By: Terry+at+mtfilson@verizon.net (53 - days ago), Page: Need Mech Help

Does the club own some other wheel tool? I need to replace my rear tire... I vaguely remember some talk about some wheel or tire apparatus. Let me know. 588.5605. Thanks. Joey B. Commented By: Joey Breneman (61 - days ago), Page: Tools to Share
Well, it doesn't fall into a Wed or Thur night, but here's an idea for a Monday night! Ugh... will this interrupt with your football mania? Anyway, Gasperetti's in Yakima features Monday Night Prime Rib. Of course, this time of year means riding home in the dark, but the more bikes on the road, the better the visibility!! (using other bike's headlights to show the way) Cheers. Commented By: Joey Breneman (61 - days ago), Page: PREZ SAYS
My wife and I have enjoyed the last two dinner rides. Hats off to those that create a short, quick route around the Tricities ending at a dinner spot. Very tough to make it exciting. How about meal at Casa Mia? Commented By: Dean (62 - days ago), Page: PREZ SAYS

The Neutral indicator bulb went out in '83 R100RS I found a very similar Bulb at Radio Shack p/n 2721141 for 1.49 each. I will fit directly onto the clip but the insulation needs to be removed from the wires. Commented By: Guest (136 - days ago), Page: Shoping for Parts

Several of us (Dave, John, Jeff, Dean, and Clyde) spent the weekend at the joint Wa/ Or club campout in on the Deschutes River in Oregon. The camping was great, rides better, and fellowship the best. GS or twisties were available for all to enjoy. We invited a fellow rider we met at lunch on Saturday to ride with us and join us at camp. He was a great addition to the group. Turned out he was also employed by OSP. Ten over (25-35 in the twisties) did not bother him as we put on 200 miles together in the Antelope/Fossil twisties area. Got great pictures and an awsome ride. Only minor problem was the KTM. Ran hot and did not have equal range to the GS's. PS: Don't mention this to Dave G. He might be sensitive.

Bill Sawyer is leading a group on Friday for the club ride/joint campout. You might get ahold of him. Is someone leading the ride on Saturday for those who are leaving then? Commented By: Cheri Ellingsworth, President BMW Free RIders (190 - days ago), Page: Rally Ride
Yea! Bill for hosting! But did you mean to say May 30th? Commented By: Guest (199 - days ago), Page: Rally in the Gorge
Bill Sawyer, Jeff McGarrah and I went to Pendleton today on the club ride. Pendleton would be misnomer since we went about everywhere but Pendleton! Down to Weston for late breadfast/early brunch. Headed for Gibbon (you all know where that is right?) and got tangled up on a couple of roads before getting it all sorted out. Finally found it though. Had about 12-15 miles of great roads right up to the gravel start at the Bar M ranch. U turn and to Pendleton, Echo and Lexington. South to Heppner and then cut off at Ruggs for Condon (this was to be a short day?!:)) Since it was now about 4PM, had to refill with hamburgers and shakes. Lots of Harleys on the road for a function of some kind. North to Arlington on some great sweepers (now I hate to say this but Bill's and Jeff's GS's outperformed my FJR in the curves. Hard to beat those GS's!) Stopped in Arlington for one final tank topping and then on home. Put about 392 miles on. Great day! The FJR averaged about 47 mpg for the day. Don't know how the other two came out. Join us the next time for some great riding! Commented By: Herb+Rockey+(fjrman@clearwire.net) (206 - days ago), Page: Sound Off!!

It is my understanding from your research that it is not necessary to own a BMW motorcycle to be an active member. That being the case I say yes to chartering the club with BMW MOA Commented By: Richard (212 - days ago), Page: Should we charter with BMW MOA
