How would you handle a bee sting at 40 mph? Karen (repo) will tell you what she did. Ron P, our new secretary, will tell you what it's like to ride at 110 and not worry about getting caught. I wonder how a bee sting at 110 mph would feel..... anyway, there's all that and much more. Enjoy!

Recently re-elected Tina Fraembs riding her beeeeautiful R1200ST.
This months BTS has so much great information, like Joe Grant's article on the North of the Border Rally, Chaz discussing the VOID 4 rally, and a very special picture of the bike of our fearless leader decked out in Redskins colors after losing a bet. It was not a happy day for her! All that and more.

Sheesh I sat on this for FIVE days!?! how could I be so lazy? Especially when there's so much packed inside, like an investigation into and reward for information leading up to the capture of the ZIPTIE BANDIT. Pile onto that a look into the SRR Scavenger hunt, a Ride To Eat invitation to all BMWBMW members, and a story of your humble webmaster getting a lesson in what his bike is and is not capable of. Plus more.
