3. for longer than I have been with the club but you can take that away and we still have each other The only reasonable answer was to comply with BMW s requirements Your board set about developing a new logo We asked for sugges tions from club members but did not get much I was not surprised because this is something that is hard to get excited about At the board meetings we discussed various ideas and themes and Christy continued on page 2 Deliberation continued Lange took these to an artist she has worked with in the past and commissioned her to produce several prototypes We reviewed these picked our favorite and requested some further refinements One as pect of the guidelines from BMW is that the Roundel is relatively small and must be kept in proportion to the overall logo layout A consequence of that is that it is not suitable for uses such as on name tags or embroided on apparel For this reason we designed two new logos There is the official one which uses the wordmark BMW and the Roundel That is the one you see on the front of our newsletter An unofficial logo was designed to be applicable for all of our uses and includes neither wordmark BMW nor the Roundel As such it is not subject to BMW s requirements At the end of January we received approval from BMW for the official logo I really like the design of these logos and was pleased that the artist was able to tie the official and unofficial logos togeth
4. if the electrical system is working If the starter turns over the lights and horn seem normal probably the battery is okay If you can access the spark plugs which 1s difficult on oilheads as the plugs are so deep set you can test for spark Remove one plug and connect the wire to the plug Rest the metal body on the cylinder and turn the engine over You should show you a spark across the plug electrodes If you see a spark then electrically things should be okay The third requirement to run an engine is compression When an engine has adequate compression the moving piston compresses the gas and air mixture Then the sparking of the spark plug causes the gas and air mixture to explode which causes the piston to be pushed down which in turn rotates the gears drive shaft and finally the rear wheel Compression problems are in fact very rare A simple test for compression is to pull a spark plug and place a finger over the hole Turn the engine over and 1f you feel pressure probably all is well Let s say on the fuel test you did not hear the fuel pump A dealer could ship me a new one and I would be on my way Or if the pump is working and I see no gas coming out of a disconnected hose then I could check for a burst hose Or the spark plug test might tell me that a plug has failed and so on Lack of compression might mean a blown head gasket or broken rings Repair of these problems is not easy Many riders are not familiar with mechan
5. there is a crash In that case we have to determine whether the course can be cleared before the rest of the riders come back around on the next lap The racing and riding are quite often fast and exciting and the motorefs usually have the best spot from which to view the race unfolding A road race is an entirely different thing Road races typically are run on open roads with oncoming traffic The riders are restricted to riding on only one half of the road and it is the job of the motoref to enforce this With an unruly group of riders or with a difficult crosswind this can be a task that keeps the motoref extremely busy In addition if a rider or group of riders rides off the front of the main pack the motoref s job also includes monitoring that time gap and reporting it to both the leaders and the main group And as always safety is stilla concern Motorefs at road races tend to be a lot busier than they are at criteriums The race in Leland IL is a road race that consists of a twenty two mile loop of which approximately one third is gravel roads One of the stretches is pretty well packed but the other two are very loose rock So in addition to all the usual challenges of a road race we are sometimes fully occupied with simply remaining upright Being an early spring race the weather at Leland can be very un predictable Our first year there the temperatures were rather mild but the wind was pretty stiff a steady 20 25 mph c

7. agine that BMW would want that At the MOA Rally in Redmond this was the main topic of discussion at the club officers session BMW wants to maintain control of their logo It is a valuable property and they have every right to do so In order for them to do that they have to go after any uncontrolled use of that logo That includes us since to the best of my knowledge there has never been documented permission from BMW for our use of their trademark In the old days tacit ap proval or perhaps even a verbal paki was sufficient but if one gg ever existed it is P a moot in the mod ey ern world We can d argue whether that is a good thing or not but that s not the issue and we all know that we can never go back to the good old days BMW does have the resolve and resources to shut down the club CHICAGO REGION BMW OWNERS ASSOCIATION BMW Motorcycle Enthusiasts Since 1969 Our new logos at the IMS show if we did not comply Our treasury could be wasted on our defense and would not come close to winning the case Our club would be gone If our logo was the most important thing about our association then I would feel justified to go out in a blaze of glory and generate as much bad press for BMW as possible It was obvious to me the logo was not the most important thing we have It is the people and the relationships we build the good times we share with each other The logo has been a symbol of that
