July Meeting at TownCreek.

[SteveS]

I throughly enjoyed my first camping experience at our July meeting. I even tried a little skiing behind Jim Dubick's bike. Here are some pictures from the event http://www.bmwmoal.org/pictures/towncreek.html

Steve,

This is Erik Bahl - I was riding the 95 Black R1100GS. Can you email me the photos (beemererik@bellsouth.net)? Were you the one that had the bike trouble near the bridge? What happened?

Bob - that was a great ride. Thanks for putting it together.

Welcome Erick.

I am proud of how everyone did staying together and mostly riding a staggered formation, especially through the two thunder storms. This proves that Beemer riders are the best.

Hello Erik,

No, that wasn't me - I was riding just behind Bob.

All of the photos in higher resolution can be downloaded at http://picasaweb.google.com/bmwmoal/...eetingJuly2008

Give me a shout if you have trouble downloading the pics.

Perfect - I can get the files.

Bob,

Who was it that had the trouble, and do you know what it was?

[R90srider]

Erick.

I believe that is Jimmy Lowe. Hopefully he can get his brake problem fixed without a lot of expense.

His email address is in the 2008 club directory, page 23.

Looks like you guys had a great time. Sorry we could not be there. Lookin' forward to next month though!

Hey everyone. Yeah that was me with the bike problem. I think it was something related to the water on the rear brake rotor/pads. It may have even been the ABS activating or just acting up. It got me worried when the roads were wet, so I had to use more engine braking than I normally would. When I pulled off in that curve, I had just lightly applied the rear brake and it grabbed really hard. Luckily we were going really slow in that turn, so I decided to pull over and check it out. It happened about 5 or 6 times total.

Glad you made it home safely Jimmy.
