Selling my GS. Here is the craigslist post. Hurry before I change my mind.

After my conversation with the rep he came over to where I was standing by my bike and gave me a replacement co2 cartridge. It was totally out of the blue. I know they have been hard to get due to shortages. Nice to have a little extra security should I set off the jacket by accident and then be stuck on the road without protection. Never hurts to talk to the vendors!
Planning on going into Yosemite Park while at the 49er Rally? Guess what, if you haven’t got a day permit reservation you are out of luck! That is my situation. Just learned that a reservation is required and they are sold out! So no Yosemite on the 49er, and no Road to the Sun ride in Glacier for the MOA rally! F that!!!
Karl – I almost did the same thing, get an earlier date. But I hesitated a few seconds and then it was gone.
Logged on to recreation.gov right now and it shows tickets not yet released. Will keep pinging it every few minutes and see what happens.

Not attendingEVENT DETAILS:
We have confirmed with the Fairgrounds and County Health Department that we can hold the 49er Rally with a few modifications. The first is that we will limit attendence to 300 people. This necessitated us increasing the price to $85. Also we will likley hold our Saturday night meal outdoors. Finally, this is all a work in progress given the late start so there may be other changes we need to make but we are working hard to bring you the best rally we can. Of course we will continue to follow the rules regarding social distancing and mask wearing and if you are sick or been exposed to the CoronaVirus to stay home. No matter, it’s going to be a great time for all.
The 49er Rally is the BMW Motorcycle Club of Northern California’s annual Memorial Day Weekend rally, with 48 years of tradition that predates the BMW Motorcycle Owners of America’s (MOA) National Rally. (In fact, the first MOA Rally was held at our 2nd 49er Rally!) This is one of the West’s premier BMW Rallies!
As always, Rally goers can expect 4 nights of grassy tent camping, optional RV camping with water and electrical hook-ups (limited spaces available), hot showers, cold drinks, great food, clinics, speakers, vendor displays depending on availability, prize giveaways, and the camaraderie of lot of fantastic people from all over! Attendees will also have great local riding opportunities including a Poker Run, a self guided Historical Ride, and self guided GS and road rides.
We are still in the progress of finalizing optional GS adventure riding clinics with Black Swan Moto bringing their team to teach a GS clinic with a trail ride open to all. Further info will be posted on these training sessions shortly.
If you are a vendor or speaker (or would like to be) and have questions about the 49er Rally, please click here to email Greg Hutchinson, the 49er Chair.
Best regards,
BMW Motorcycle Club of Northern CaliforniaIf you are checking the weather on your iPhone make sure to enter Panamint Springs and not Death Valley. Panamint is about 10 degrees cooler at night. Expected 60’s during the day and a low of 38 at night. Bring something warm to wear!
And if you plan on meeting up for the start from Flo’s at 9am at the Chino airport and want to have breakfast there they are open for outside dining starting at 6am. I just called them to verify.
Karl – As usual great job on the newsletter. And your misspelling of my last name is a new one for me. I had an uncle who for fun collected misspellings of our last name on pieces of mail sent to him. I will have to add yours to the list!
I am going to start the morning at the South County Cars and Coffee which is just around the corner from the Nelson’s at the outlet mall. Check out the website if you are interested.
I would like to bring my R90S and see if we can get the carbs adjusted better and synched. It runs great what it is warmed up and at speed but them wants to die as soon as I slow down to stop.
