Hey John, here’s a beauty … a little pricey and a fly & buy probably though.

Let Michael know he needs to be quicker on the draw … saw a 1973 75/5 in there on Wednesday that I couldn’t pass up 😳

Glad you’re coming Mark. We’re going to meet at Flo’s Airport Cafe in Chino this time. I haven’t locked everything down yet, but am thinking I may have a 2nd meet up spot in Randsberg later in the morning for any that want to pass on riding to Chino for the initial leg of the trip.
Great point re: helping with ride planning. I have had Panamint Springs offer to work with me on preparing a group meal for dinner … I could arrange something if I had a better idea of how many are going to make our Death Valley Ride via the ride list.
John,
I assume you told him to save a search for what he wants on Craigs List also? I see them hit there every now and then .. it is where I found my ’72 R60/5. Of course Jim is correct about the time and money spent with an old bike (45 years in my case), but I couldn’t agree more with getting what checks the right boxes for you. I have had a blast working on and riding mine (just ask Wagner or Eastly) since purchasing it in August. A non-riding buddy asked me how it compared to my ’15 RT the other day and I told him my RT is twice the bike, but riding locally, the 60/5 is twice the fun!Look forward to it Vern. Haven’t worked out the details yet, but will get busy now that Dec is here !
Vern,
I was thinking Flo’s Airport in Chino would be a good place to start the ride. It provides good group parking, a hearty breakfast for those who want one (which I assume means EVERYONE in this eating club that rides BMW’s 🙂 ) and space for a pre-ride meeting. Hope that would work out well for you.Sorry for the late reply Rob. Wasn’t certain if we could make it or not, but my wife Julie and I are looking forward to attending. Unless I hear otherwise from you, we will bring a side dish of Cream Corn Au Gratin.
My brother and I have pitched 2 tents per site before although the web site says 1 tent per site. Tent sites are $10.
I heard back from Panamint Springs also, but frankly I don’t know how to respond to them since I am hesitant to specify what “type”of rooms any of you might be interested in. I’m going to see if they can just hold us 6 rooms (without specifying the types) and assume others will camp … I think as long as reservations for Friday are made early enough, it shouldn’t be an issue … anyone that waits to long can just Camp at another members site perhaps.

Panamint Springs Resort* Update *
I heard back from Tecopa Hot Springs:Hi Chris,
Nice to hear from you. Look forward to hosting your group again.January 20 is a Saturday and a busy time. Weather permitting there will be music on stage, Bistro open and fun. Rooms are $95 plus tax for one or two people and $10 plus tax per extra person. There are rooms with 2 queen beds and a few with 1 king bed. We generally fill up so hard to offer discount on weekend night. Still a great deal in our opinion. I can block rooms for you and folks can call to reserve room or they can book on line or by calling 760 852 4420. There is a 72 hour cancellation policy so plenty of time to back out if need be.
Office hours are generally noon – 5pm. If on line booking there is a preference section they can enter your group SCBMWRC. I can move people around later if need be. FYI rooms 13 – 8 are the south side of the motel. 14 – 19 are on the north side.
Based on this, I would suggest booking sooner rather than later (I have already reserved room #11) with the knowledge that you can cancel within 72 hours of the ride if something comes up. Im going to book Panamint Springs now also, even though I have not heard back from my inquiry to them.
