The Washington Area's Premier BMW Motorcycle Club
Welcome to the BMW Bikers of Metropolitan Washington. We are a 500+ member organization emphasizing camaraderie, motorcycle education and safety, riding and exploring the wonderful roads in Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland & Pennsylvania, and general enthusiasm for all aspects of owning and riding motorcycles.
The May 2008 BTS has arrived. Please take a moment to read about the life of JB Fields, one of our BMWBMW members who has passed away.
Also in the BTS: Have you ever done an Iron Butt 100 CCC? No? Don't have the guts? Our own VP Nancy Oswald has done it and writes about it. But maybe you don't care about that, maybe you're just jonesing for the full 2007 Mileage Contest results. Well then you'll be really happy to see page 5. All that and more.
In this months issue, read up on the continuing saga of Don Catterton's Iron Butt Rally adventure, more farkilization, and wait... more TESTS?? Yes! Our own ERC Scott has more motorcycle safety related questions for you to gnaw on. All that, and more.

Hey wake up! It's nearly March already! This months BTS contains intros from our new editor, Rick, as well as our government affairs liason, Steve Willis. You can also continue reading about how club member Henry Winokur exposes his bike to Farkilization.
Now I know what you're thinking right now, those articles sound great and all, but you really want to take a test! Can do, with this BTS, as Scott Keinig (ERC Scott for you forum folks) walks you through some what-if scenarios.
All that, and much more. Enjoy!

This months BTS is the 2008 election edition. The two candidates for President lay out the focus for their terms, should they be elected.
An Important note concerning the forums is also in this months BTS, page 4.
As a general reminder there is a BOD Meeting on October 7th 2007. This one should be well worth showing up and letting the board know how you weigh in on important details, and meeting the candidates for the 2008 term.
Delays in publishing, travel amongst the volunteers, and some truely wonky server problems all align to make for one of the most anticipated BTS releases of the year!
{Um... sorry.
}
But hey, this front cover is cool enough to almost make up for it!
The BTS for August is ready for your reading pleasure.
Also, the club would like to formally thank our out-going editor Bob Steele for his outstanding service as our BTS editor. He did a lot to re-vitalize our newsletter and brought to it a professional flair to it.
In the same breath however, I'd like to welcome our NEW editor George Falcon to the scene. George has been a member of BWMBMW for many years now, and has stepped up to fill Bob's spot. This months BTS is his handy work. Thanks George for taking up the challenge.
