2007 Rides Program
(BMW)²QIT
The Questionable Interpretations Tour may have your mind in the gutter if you interpret things that way. A little "potty" humor you say? Well, all the bonus sites are actual cities, towns or businesses. We are not making up anything here. We don't have to, someone has already done it for us. What were some of those folks thinking when they came up with these names? Or is it simply how you interpret them? That's the question, and we will find out how you interpret them soon enough. Don't take anything too seriously, just have fun with this tour. And since you will be supporting the Johns Hopkins Children's Center with your gifts, that should make you feel good about all of it no matter how you interpret things.
Here is a little history on the Questionable Interpretations Tour. We are using the Bonus List from the Mason Dixon 20/20 Rally. Rick Miller has allowed us to use his 2006 Rally theme and bonus list. In return, we need to support the Johns Hopkins Children’s Center with a gift for the kids, just as the MD 20/20 does. You will have two opportunities to support JHCC, the first being when you get your ID number and the second anytime between getting your number and the conclusion of the tour. There are 2 lists of items for JHCC plus there are bonus values associated with each gift. We would like to give the first group of gifts to Rick before the 20/20 the rest after the conclusion of the tour.
BMW²QIT scoring will be based on points. The bonus locations will be assigned the same point values the MD 20/20 used except for the JHCC gifts. You will have all season long to visit the bonus locations and take a picture. Obviously the sites that are further away from our base area will have higher point values. The JHCC gifts will have huge bonus points to make it worth your while to net these 2 bonii.
BMWBMW Great States Tour
We haven’t done it for a few years but, due to popular request, we are going to bring it back for 2007. We like to see everyone traveling from state to state. We will give awards to the club members that travel the most all over North America. All you have to do is take a picture of your bike with your ID number, in front of a state sign of some sort. Use anything that shows the state name be it the entering sign, rest area, post offices, municipal offices, etc. And if you don’t get to Hawaii, that’s okay, nobody did last year either.
BMWBMW Poker Runs
We have fun laying out the rides. And the number of members participating is growing Many club members have requested adding a jackpot to the poker run, so we will collect a buck or two from each participant and then give back to the best hands at the end of the run. We will finally have a small pot to give out to the best hands. Not quite Texas Holdem pots, but hey, maybe an ice cream cone at Dairy Queen. Should be fun.
Joint Rides
We will again be doing the Joint Ride with the Concours Owners Group. But we are also expanding the group to include the Triumph riders and spread the word to the Yamaha FJR 1300 Owners. The route will also be longer so it will be a full day of riding. Mark July 1st on your calendar.
