We have a nice article by Mike C. with pictures about the new shop, an article about the new power brakes for Beemers and a strange article about Death Valley. And I still can not remember who gave me the cover photo. Help who was it. so I can give credit where credit is due. Tom D. editor We desperately need articles for July. That mean I need them by June 24 so I can create the July issue. Suggestions include: Spring breakout 2001 Crit's ride this weekend '49er Rally 2001 any other ride you may have done, at anytime not just recently. Technical articles including K1100RS cams in a K1200LT Vintage Restorations esp. w/ pixs Ladies Beehive Beemers perspectives Evaluation and impressions of the new C.A.R.E. BMW clothing line pre-announcements of other rides that re-occur - Big Cat, etc. How about what are the other m/c clubs in Utah doing? I have charts what about an article for the new race track in Tooele (Oops, think I have a short one on that) What is the latest. How about a new member background so we can get to know them? The hardest part for me is getting articles for publishing. I can do the mechanical aspects fine. (except of spelling and grammar and things like that) 8 ) Tom Deaver **************************************************************** The Beehive Beemers Internet Mailing List http://www.beehive-beemers.org **************************************************************** ------------------------------ End of beehive-beemers-digest V1 #106 *************************************
