Indy Dave Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Our own Energizer Bunny and back-road carving machine Bernie has surpassed 300,000 miles on BMW's and was featured and recognized in the August Edition of BMW MOA Owners News! CONGRATULATIONS BERNIE!! :clap: :clap: I'll try to link to the piece once it's available in digital format. Link to comment
Bernie Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) Thank you, that you all. Just riding around collecting GPS tracks and finding coffee stops. LOL :java: And I really like to say THANK YOU to ALL the members on this forum that over the years have helped me keep my bikes running and have taught me how to maintain them. Special thanks for all the ride tips and suggestions how to ride safer and stay alive. And a very special thank you to my RideSmart class instructor(s). You guys will always be special in my book. Some times I may not be as active as others, but I do spend a lot of time lurking in the back ground, reading and trying to learn. Edited July 31, 2018 by Bernie Link to comment
Endobob Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Proud of you Bernie! I hope you have another 300,000 miles of smiles! Link to comment
roadscholar Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 You're the man Bernie, keep on rolling! I feel lucky to have been the 2nd owner of the Opal Blue RT with just 105k, I knew it was maintained by a pro. Link to comment
Bernie Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thank you Bill, you and Kinsley have always been my big inspiration for route creations and searching out the hidden, seldom used path. Link to comment

Lone_RT_rider Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 And a very special thank you to my RideSmart class instructor(s). We only invited you for one reason. We knew no matter where we hosted a RidingSmart, you would know the best place for coffee. Link to comment

RandyShields Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Setting a high bar for the rest of us Bernie! Congrats. Too bad they didn't see fit to include your photo; your high viz yellow Aerostich is much more experienced than the two they featured. Link to comment
Bernie Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 (edited) Thanks, I did not know I could submit a picture. Next time, when I hit 400k. Lol Edited August 1, 2018 by Bernie Link to comment

Bill_Walker Posted August 3, 2018 Share Posted August 3, 2018 Nobody has mentioned that Bernie also got in a plug, mentioning a BMWSportTouring.com UNrally in his write-up in the mag! Way to go, Bernie! Link to comment
tallman Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 300,000? So, that was what, 2,900 hours of riding. That's only about 200 days of good riding. Congrats! Always fun to see how much you enjoy every minute and mile. See ya soon! . Link to comment
