Hello,
I've had my mc endorsement since I was in college in 1966. Rode enduros in southern Ohio on a Yamaha for a while. Put the career on the front burner, but kept in touch with bikes all along but not much riding. I just bought a 2005 R 1200RT. "It's red and beautiful." I rode as many miles as i could before the roads froze over here. Looking for places and people to tour with in the coming year.

Welcome to the forum and the MOA, Lew!! Think about heading to Billings, MT, in July for the National Rally. That'll be a good ride... :thumb If you have any questions, ask away...

Welcome Aboard!

Welcome to the club and the forum! Like yourself I took a number of years off riding while starting a family and career. I'm sure you'll enjoy the new ride.

As others have mentioned plan to join us at the Billings International Rally!
 
Hello Lew. Welcome! I'll be working the Cleveland M/C show January 30,31 & Feb 1st. If you attend, stop by the MOA booth and say hi.
 
Welcome to the forum Lew. I purchased a 2014 RTW last year and love the bike. Give me a yell if you get down in my part of the state. I'm just two hours south in St. Clairsville, Ohio with endless great roads.
St. Clairsville is just 30 minutes from PA and 15 minutes from WV. Plus riding in southeastern Ohio is wonderful. Larry

Howdy, I am Jerry and I am also interested in touring and getting to know others that want to do some riding. Won't be long before the weather

warms some. Best to you. Seems to be lots of MOA members in your immediate area. Also a Chapter. Best to you.
 
If you haven't been in to visit with Gene (the owner) and Jamie (the service manager) at Mathias BMW in New Philadelphia, you should. They are great people and it's fantastic riding south and southeast of them.
 
One more welcome from Ohio - The closer you get to enduro trails, the better the roads get. New Philly area is a nice jumping off point to exit the slab and start picking up some good roads like 800 & some stuff around Tappan. It is all good from there to the River, just watch for holes and debris this spring.

The Cleveland club (www.BMWMOC.org) does some group rides and has some mini rallies. They have a meeting tonight if you are looking for something to do.

Welcome Lew

Lew,
I am the Secretary of the Akron BMW Club. I don't really frequent the blog, but I glad I saw your post. Better Late than Never! TNevling is correct, the best way to find us on Facebook or we meet every Sunday Morning at the Farmer Boy Restaurant on 91 and 224 in Springfield Lake. Breakfast order is taken at 8am. Weather permitting we often take a ride after eating. Sometimes includes either lunch or ice cream (a club favorite). We have road and GS riders in our club. Just a great group of people.

TNevling We Love You Too, See you on the road soon!
