Presidents Column
High Beemers
M/C Club
PO Box 3127 February has come and gone. I did not do much riding in the
Sparks NV 89432 month of February. I started the month by taking a car trip to Las
Vegas to take in the sights and watch our friends granddaughter
play softball.
President
Fred Barrie I ended the month by taking a car trip to Seattle. While Sandie
775.745.1936
was attending a sewing conference, I spent the time sightseeing
around Seattle and up to Birch Bay.

Vice President I want to thank Tracy for his efforts working on our forum and
Russ for his efforts to understand our Facebook page. Checkout
Russ Ristine
our High Beemers website, Larie has upgraded it. On February
775.742.5866 14th a two hour session was held to update the progress of our
russ.ristine@gmail.com
endeavor and decide on what steps are necessary to move for-
ward with our quest to expand our club’s use of the Website, Fa-
Treasurer cebook and Forums.
Ernie Baragar
As we all learn to use the Website, Facebook and Forums, we
775.219.8881
will be able to better communicate our common motorcycle inter-
ernie@highbeemers.org ests and setup club and impromptu rides. This will allow Jim to

Page 3 Dim Bulb March 2018 ——— Reno to Denio overnight. Reno to Fernley to Gerlack (take a break at Bruno’s) to Cedarville (lunch at Country Hearth) to Lakeview (break and gas stop) hwy 140 to Denio ( overnight at Denio Junction Motel *make a reservation or it is on to Winnemucca / understand there is gas now in Denio) to Winnemucca to Reno. ———— Portola Ca. to Clio Just west of Portola at Chalet View Lodge (Starbucks) to Clio. The road (Clio State 40A Road) is a hard packed dirt road and when not wet is very rideable. This road takes you under a railroad bridge and into Clio. When to arrive at Clio there are sev- eral ways to continue your ride. Towards Sierraville, up to the Gold Lake area or back into Graeagle. ———- Taylorsville Ca. Ride to Taylorsville CA. to have lunch at Young’s Market Company. Take 70 past Quincy to 89, go north to the Arlington road that takes you into Taylorsville. After lunch you can continue up to Antelope and over to 395 back to Reno. Or, take N. Valley Road to Greenville. Then take 89 to 147 along the east side of Lake Almanor join 36 to Susanville and back to Reno. ———- Greenville Ca. Ride to Greenville for lunch at Anna’s. After Quincy take 70 to 89 into Greenville. Af- ter lunch, return to Quincy and back to Reno or take 89 to 147 to 36 into Susanville returning to Reno. ——- Short rides for breakfast or lunch. Tail Dragger Cafe at Minden Airport. Fox & Hound Smokehouse at top of Kingsbury grade. Los dos Hermanos in Sierraville. ——— Downieville Ride Ride to Downieville on hiway 49 out of Sierraville for lunch. In town is Two Rivers Cafe or just west of downtown up the hill is Coyoteville Cafe. If interested in making a day of it, you can continue on 49 to Nevada City. Then take 20 to I80 to Reno. ———— Lost Coast Ride from Weott Ca. Just north of Weott on hwy 101 take the Mattole Rd. to the Lost Coast. The road has many twists and in and out of shadows from the forest. The road is not well maintained with many potholes that are hard to see in the shadows. Halfway thru the area is Petrolia. There is a general store that can be used for a break stop. After going along the coast the road turns inland ending up in Ferndale on 101.

Picnic Table rides.
If you are interested in taking a lunch and just getting out of town there are two
places I know of. The first one is Sierraville at the Sierraville Store and Gas Pump.
Several picnic tables are located just outside the store. Typically we buy a cuppa
coffee or soda pop for using their tables. Another location is in downtown Down-
ieville. Next-door to the Two Rivers Café you can park and walk down to the
river’s edge there are several tables located there. Enjoying a picnic lunch and
listening to the water running by makes for a pretty good day.
—————
Baker City Or. to Joesph.
Take 86 east out of Baker City to Half Way. Just east of Half Way take N. Pine Rd.
northbound. Following N. Pine Rd. it turns into NFD Road 39. Follow it to Wallowa
Mnt. Road. Take it to Imnaha hwy into Joesph.
While in Joseph take 82 to the south end of Wallowa Lake. When there look for
the Wallowa Lake Tramway. It is worth the time to ride up and lookout on the
beautiful area.
————
Apache Junction AZ. to Roosevelt.
Take 88 which is Apache trail out of Apache Junction. The road is decent until Tor-
tilla. Just past there it turns to stone. That is as far as I went on my GTL. If your
bike can handle the road continue on to hwy 188 to Roosevelt. On another trip I
road hwy 188 along Lake Roosevelt enjoying the wilderness area.

The February 19th Breakfast Ride by Fred Barrie
Due to cold and snow the February monthly breakfast ride was held at
Red Hut in Reno. Nick, Tracy, Richard, Ernie, Larry and Fred braved the
elements to participate in conversation and telling of stories.

February 9—warm weather, Fred Barries says “ If I ride it, got to wash it!” …….
February 13: Jim Morrow and Las Vegas resident
Rod took advantage of the warm weather to enjoy a
ride to Bisbee AZ.
Great museum in Tombstone and the Queen
mine tour in Bisbee is terrific!
Good craft beer in Bisbee…..
Here one of the guides/ miner showing us how to
set the dynamite in a rock wall—they only walked to
the end of the tunnel for the explosion! Yikes
Jim did an accounting of his costs (placed the origi-
nal accounting on our Forum site—there were a few
errors … here is corrected version)

• The Tombstone trip was 6 days, 5 nights, 3 hotels. Total came to $611 or $102 per day of
which
• $161 was gas,
• $192 was food,
• $258 was hotel over three nights.
This was with K1200LT getting between 46 to
52mpg @ 10-over the limit mostly, faster than
my typical 5-over pace.
• Estimate $27 a day for gasoline, I used pre-
mium. Regular might save ? 5% off this.
• We ate well with drinks for $32 per day. If I
camp and make my own breakfast and dinner
that might reduce it somewhat but estimate at
least $28 to $30 a day in food.
• Camping can have fees per night as well - maybe $20 a day where for this trip it was $86 a
day for lodging (stayed with Rod 2 nights for free out of the 5).
I propose an estimate of expenses on a motorcycle trip are ~$80 a day for camping, ~$145
a day if hotels.
Just thought you might find that interesting … go to the forum and comment—what are your
costs?
Of course all this excludes the cost of the bike and gear and farkles. Ai-
eee!, add those costs in and a trip like this makes a cruise ship for a week
look cheap, including airfare!
But we love riding cycles …
February 16: Fred Barrie says
“This time of the year, besides
getting a ride in there is also the
ability to hit the slopes. The snow
has been minimal but yet enough
to enjoy a day of skiing”

HBMC Members,
Many of you have already signed up for our new HBMC Forum. Once you do, you
are subject to receiving a few “junk mail” type emails from Tapatalk that are not di-
rectly related to our HBMC forum. There is an easy way to prevent these emails.
• The easiest way is to scroll to the bottom of the Tapatalk junk email and you will
see a link to “Manage your email settings”. You can go there and turn off the items
you don’t want.
• At a minimum, turn off the top 2 - “Tapatalk Updates” and “Weekly Topics and
Recommendations”, and you’ll get rid of the junk mail.
• The rest of the check boxes relate to email notifications that would be (mostly)
useful to you as you use the forum, but you are free to adjust this as you see fit.
If you haven’t already signed up for the forum, the instructions are included in the at-
tached document.

2018 High Beemer Rides
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------
The following are the planned dates of the rides for the upcoming year. If you would like to be the leader of
any of the High Beemer CR or GS rides, let me know via email (flbspk@aol.com) or at the January 28th dinner
meeting.
Breakfast Rides (BR) are on the third Monday of each month, starting at Starbucks on Wedge Parkway. Doug
Laird or his backup (Nick) will lead the rides. Destinations are determined by the riders in attendance. Usually
back in Reno by 12-12:30pm. These rides are held year around and if the weather is inclement everyone is
encouraged to show up in an alternate vehicle.
Club Rides (CR) are road rides that occur on third Saturday or Sunday of each month. The ride leader will de-
termine the ride date, gathering point, route, and lunch location. The ride leader shares the details of the ride
with everyone via our club forum, email and newsletter. On the day of the ride, the leader takes a headcount
at the gathering point and then calls ahead to the restaurant to make a reservation for the group. The route is
a road ride, usually several hours long, possibly with a break stop on the way to the lunch site. The return trip
is often open, allowing riders the option of returning to Reno as a group, or on their own.
Off Road Rides (GS) are on the fourth Saturday or Sunday of each month. The GS leader follows the same
procedures as a Club Ride, except that the GS ride might include a “brown bag” lunch (rather than a restau-
rant lunch) due to routing.

Group Rider’s Responsibilities:
1 – Arrive prepared (full gas tank) and on time.
2 – Ride in Formation: (Highway – Staggered Formation) Ride Leader should be in left third of
lane. Next rider should be in right third of lane, next rider back to the left third of lane and so on.
Preferably there should be a two second gap between riders. Riders should ride single file when
the road conditions are curvy; there is poor visibility, and poor road surfaces, when entering/
leaving the highway or other situations when an increased space cushion or maneuvering room is
required. MSF recommends a minimum of two seconds between riders.
NOTE: Avoid side by side formation. If you needed to avoid a hazard, you would not have room to
do so.
3 – If separated from the group, don’t panic. Each rider should know before hand the destination
and be provided with directions.
4 – For mechanical or medical problems, use a cell phone to call for assistance as the situation
warrants.
5 - If a rider plans to ride on their own and eventually meet up with the group, the ride leader
should be advised prior to departure.
6 - If a rider plans to break off from the group they should advise the ride leader at a rally point or
meeting location prior to leaving the group.
7 - All riders/passengers must obey state law and wear an approved helmet.
NOTE: No Alcohol should be consumed on a club ride.
8 - It is highly recommended that all riders/passengers wear protective clothing while on club
rides.
9 - We represent motorcyclists to motorists so PLEASE drive appropriately.
10 - This is a group ride that riders have chosen to participate in. Riders: please be patient, toler-
ant and respectful of others needs; please try to stay together and look out for the well being of
other participants.
11 – Periodically check the riders following in your rear view mirror. If you see a rider falling be-
hind, slow down so they may catch up. If all riders in the group use this technique, the group
should be able to maintain a fairly steady speed without pressure to ride too fast to catch up.
12 – Each rider is responsible for the rider behind him. The rider should SAFELY pause at each
major turn to ensure the following rider stays on the route. The rider waits until the following rider
is able to continue.
13 - Someone from the ride should write a story of the trip for the newsletter editor.
Enjoy the ride!
