ohhh … and what a mis-spelling it was :-0 I’m guessing your Uncle never got that one on a piece of mail 🙂
I have been a little remiss in keeping this “welcome to new members” thread current, my apologies. Our club is growing and we have 5 new members since my last update. I have enjoyed meeting several of them and hope to see all of you at our meetings and rides throughout the year.
A warm and hearty welcome to:
Gary Tucker
Elycia Child
Warren Belkin
Ray Santos
Kep WadiakAs of March 2 we have 114 SCBMWRC members …. WELCOME!!
Sorry to bail at last minute, but I received a call last night from a potential buyer or my 60/5 rolling in from Sacramento today. Have fun, sorry to miss the Tech Day.
Really fun weekend/adventure!! Glad you linked us South Coasters up with the Airheads Brandon, good group of down to earth folks.
Reminder to those of you that took photos to submit them here: [email protected] so Mark B can add them to our gallery.
Oh I’m riding and collecting miles regardless !!! I already have my 60/5 that is for sale in the Wagner’s trailer to get some Airhead eyes on it at the rally. I am thinking the RT is probably the safer/wiser choice for bad weather. It bums me out though … the 75/5 has been locked and loaded for days

Bill, My KTM 300 2 stroke was the best bike I owned … Gas Gas 250 2 stroke was the 2nd place finisher .. owned a good number of 4 strokes, but nothing made me smile quite as big as that 2 stroke snap.
On another note, check out this cool weather website with weather, wind, etc. all over the world https://www.ventusky.com/?p=35.04;-117.77;7&l=rain-3h&t=20190216/0300 … has me seriously considering the risks of riding my close to 50 year naked 75/5 in potential rain, wind, etc both ways on our DV trip with the RT quietly siting next to it mocking me.
While they were never my favorite dirt bikes I owned (and I’ve had more than my share), I have to say I’ve never owned a Honda dirt bike that wasn’t damn near bulletproof. I wouldn’t bet against it … especially with Sharon at the controls!
Bout ready …

I might be interested Jacob if the dirtroads aren’t any worse than the 10+ miles of dirt Eric and I did to Oatman. I would likely do it on my R75 and not my RT though. Keep me current on your plans.
I know Eastly and I just did his 12k service on his RT, but he needs his R75 forks serviced and has an electrical gremlin in the headlight … just not sure if he is working this day or planning on attending?
I “should be” finished replacing main rear crank and trans shaft seals as well (as the oil pump o-rings) in both of my Airheads today, so I am good on personal projects (I hope) … although …. I am close to needing a front tire on my RT and I’ll bet there is an easier tire changer than my Harbor Freight one there … hmmmm
Answering the roll call with a plan to attend, projects unknown at this time.
Brandon do you have our club banner? We should fly it at our campsite 😉 Looking forward to the ride. I should have my R75/5 back together today and be able to get a few rides in before the trip to ensure it is ready … otherwise the trusty (and MUCH warmer) RT may get slotted for duty.
Just paid my camping fee to Covington @ ABClub via PayPal. Just a reminder that before the end of Jan the fee is $80 vs $100.
Sorry to hear Steve, best of luck Jan for a quick recovery and return to so the saddle 🙏🏼
You both will be missed.
