Now Some News:

We have a total of 9 R90SWORLDNET members to date. Pretty good for
only having started two days ago, I think.

Some limited news about some of our members follows. I don't know much
about
some of you yet so please don't be offended if I omit something or say
something incorrectly. But please correct me!!!
And tell us about yourself soon.

Just so you know Rick Griffith the current Pres of the R90s Club here in
the US
http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/bmwr90s/ has been handling R90s
technical questions by himself and has felt like it was a lot of work and
responsibility. With this list we now have the ability for all of us to help
get folks' questions answered, especially once we get a lot more members,
and we will get a lot of new members. The extent of knowledge on this list
will be huge, just wait and see. And it will be a lot of fun.

Ken Claus is the former Pres of the R90s club here in the US and is
responsible for the R90s Club being in existence today as it almost went
away for lack of interest some years ago. He has relinquished his Pres title
but he is still a guiding light of the Club and is the Clubs' Treasurer.

Kirk Ratzel is heading up the European contingent of the R90s club and is on
this list. He is currently living in Paris!!! (Yea I know, I wish I was
living in Paris too.) I am sure he has a unique look at the R90s scene in
Europe. I enjoyed his recent article in the R90s Newsletter. Thanks Kirk.

Frank Cachia is a list member also and Frank and I have traded emails for a
long time, and he lives in Australia!!! He previously started the R90s
Registry and it has a web site to visit http://www.ozemail.com.au/~r90s/
Go there and have fun.

And a local to me here in PA is Joe Dille. If his name rings a bell you are
remembing that the recent R90s Rally held at my house was his idea entirely.
And he wrote the two recent articles in the BMW MOA News about fasteners,
nuts and bolts. If you missed these articles (I believe there is one more
article to come) go back and read them and you will know more than you ever
wanted to ask about nuts and bolts. Very informative well written articles
and great information. Joe and his eldest son Joey race go carts avidly and
are quite good at it. Joe is very informed, sharing and a good source of
information. He restored his immaculate Daytona Orange R90s which he rides
most days, and I understand Joe has several patents to his credit. He also
has an EML sidecar attached to a K100 which he assembled himself. Go to
this
link for more information on Joe http://home.jtan.com/~joe/joe.htm

And we have an enthusiast lady member of this list who proudly owns her
Daytona Orange R90s. Hi there Carolla in Pittsburgh. I don't know her well
(yet!) but I think she works in the computer or information field. So I can
use some pointers from her I am sure! She and her significant other Ted
stayed at our house after the recent R90s Rally. I am not sure she has good
taste in men!!! (Hi Ted:)

I have taken some license by going ahead and sharing what I know about some
of you. BUT you know so much more about yourselves than I do so please as
the occasion arises on this list jump in and share with all of us something
about yourself. This will allow other list members to know that there is a
wealth of information on this list and it can only benefit all of us.

I hope what I have shared is accurate. If not please correct me. Thanks.

Best,

Mac Kirkpatrick
