Wonderings:
What is the value of gold? Ask that question an you will receive a variety of answers in response.
The investor may tell you the value of gold is the security it represents as part of the investors portfolio.
A gold broker may swivel in their chair and with a few clicks of the keyboard tell you what it is trading for in various markets and currencies.
A computer hardware designer may explain goldÔÇÖs value in terms of increases in connection speeds within certain parts of a computer v the use of other metals.
Artists and artisans of various ilks will talk about the luster it brings to their work as light shimmers off its surface.
As your list of answers grows there is a common thread in the answers. The value of gold is defined in terms of what it does not what it is. On its own it is just a metal, with properties similar to other metals. The value of gold is created in what people do with it and what it does in those applications.
The BMW MOA is a bit like gold in this sense. If you ask members you will receive a variety of answers and the commonality in the answers will be found in what the respondent and the BMW MOA do together to make the motorcycling experience golden.
Now is a time for action. If you have not already voted, take a moment and vote in the current election. Spend some time finding answers for a fellow forum userÔÇÖs question. Volunteer in some way, no matter how seemingly small the effort it. You will find the value of you BMW MOA gold will go up as you do.

THE END
Over the next month I will be taking a break from daily posting of the Morning Reads. Do not panic, you wonÔÇÖt be asked to go through this cold turkey. I will be posting just not daily.
After 36 years we are closing down the home base in Lilydale. I am going to be an I-weigian for a few months while I help my son-in-law expand a business and playing with the Iowa branch of the pit crew. What happens after that is up in the air for now. Anyone need to hire a good blog aggregator?
To keep you busy until the next post here is the blog roll. Check them out and see what is going on in world of other riders.

From Mika:
, I wish. This is a working adventure that includes a bunch of opportunities for fun and riding in areas I have not spent time in nor ever expected to. But it also includes a startup business which will eat up a bunch of time.
