BMWMOA 2013 Mileage Update

Good evening,

As an update for the 2013 MOA mileage contest, I have 33 club member mileage forms or information regarding starting mileage for 2013. Its not too late to start for those of you who are MOA members. I was hoping to exceed lasts years numbers, and if everyone who did participate last year and is willing to join in again we will. With the new participants I now have will also likely move Indiana up on the participation list of which Indiana was 10th this past year. Its about participation, the miles are for smiles!!!

I am not able to be at breakfast this Saturday, Crew Duty at the airfield and we were out of town last week, so I am asking Wayne, Dennis or Dom to collect any MOA Mileage forms you bring in or send with another member. I will be there the following Saturday to collect forms which is the last Saturday breakfast before the mailing deadline that next Monday.

If you have elected to mail in your own form, I would appreciate an email, text etc with your bike model and starting mileage.

Thank you again for participating

Rick Nelson named MOA Key Volunteer

Rick Nelson, BMW Club of Indianapolis.

Rick Nelson has been named one of only five Key Volunteers for 2012 by BMW Motorcycle Owners of America. “I was very surprised when I opened my mail,” he said. While he was surprised those of us who have been around him for any length of time are not. He is always willing to help on a project with his expertise and labor.

The award came with a key and a framable certificate. “I don’t have room in my trailer to hang this,” bemoaned Rick. Helpful friends at our coffee group suggested that he frame the certificate with a hi-viz orange frame and wear it on his back while riding. It would be a safety device that encourages volunteerism.

Note the enormous key under the fingers on his right hand. The MOA key is engraved with his name.

Congratulations Rick for this distinctive national honor.
