Announcing BMW MOA 2021 Grand Coddiwomple!

Roger that. I put brass eyelets in the corners of the flag, and then I ended up rummaging around in my tool kit to find heavy things to hang on the corners. I think I will MacGyver some clips with some fishing weights.
@Greg... it would be fun to have some kind of leaderboard. Just so we could have some idea of what others are doing.

YaaaaaY! Finally got out for my first ride of the season! Got 5 in Saddle Up and Ride. The wind makes it a little more challenging.
For the first ride your flag is looking pretty sad
Hopefully it makes it to the finish line

Wasn't funny when I saw that the pilot and copilot of the Blackhawk I was on were both Wobbly Ones, or the time my normal CW5 pilot was on leave and they put a 2LT in as my pilot. He was like a teenager who just got the keys to his dad's corvette.

You are very welcome. I’m more than happy to chat and share local sites if you want to do the same for me.
I use blue masking tape and it usually lasts for the day. I tape it inside my topcase and quickly pull it out and tape to the side of my topcase, sign or windshield. Works great!

Sure, we can chat about that - I'm wondering if this is the Jen that I convinced to enter the Coddiwomple in the first place. PM an email address.

I don't know if it helps preserve the life of the "flag" but I've found that a heavy stock piece of white paper behind "flag" in a page protector adds a bit more "heft" and somewhat reduces the blowing about of the "flag". My next try will likely include placement of some small magnets in the bottom of the page protector to add heft and where steel is present add an means to reduce "flutter". Transport of the "flag" is easier if one has a topbox and/or mostly empty saddlebags.
When it comes time to head to Montana in June my topbox and saddlebags will be pretty full. My thinking is to put the "flag" at the top of the topbox to facilitate easy access to find more challenges enroute. I'm betting that by the end of 6 months my "flag" will still be pretty tattered.
I have a tripod, but it doesn't help to leave it in the garage. I also need to figure out how to do the delayed picture takin'.

I do not believe any judging is taking place yet. The folks running this event are still developing software that will be used to enter and track the progress of contestants.
I, for one, am not keeping score. I seem to be having trouble speling. I expect that I should block print the term of interest and check-off (or better yet write down the location name associated with each) letter. For example, I forgot I need three 'Ds', so I get to go out for a little ride tomorrow to Denton for another 'D'. There is a very nice little diner in town, but I don't know if I'm up for going to an eating establishment yet.

Holy Cow!!! "AND" I will need an "N". I really need to learn to spel.
I guess that means a ride to Danbury, Danville, Durham in the near future (all within about 70 mile radius.) The "I" towns are a bit more scarce. I was happy to have found my "U" (Union Grove).

Another Easy Get -- Jus Sayin!
We do breakfast with the local NAVMC most every Saturday {so this is like shooting fish in a barrel}! We've been supporting the Blue Plate Cafe here in HSV every week since this Covid BS started - sometimes eating in the parking lot. More folks are starting to come to breakfast each week what with 'Jabs' count goin up week-after-week in Alabama! Got mine thru Huntsville Hospital...
Several/many bikes in a row - doesn't get much easier than that! - My R90S way out there, K's new RS next, beside Mike's Suzuki, Fred's Triumph, Doug's R9T, and John's Bonneville...
Still Gettin our CoddiWomplin act together here in HSV; 2nd Sat R2E coming in May....
