Yes, it's membership renewal time! Do it on-line (use the “Join or Renew“ tab above) or find a form you can download and print by clicking on this link.
If you haven't renewed your membership by the end of this month (February), you won't be receiving your March newsletter!
Start marking your calendar now! Our 2020 Hot Dog Ride Schedule starts soon. Most of our hot dog destinations are old favorites, with several new ones included to pique your interest. Once again, we've tried to include rides to every part of our membership area.
These are destination rides; riders meet at the hot dog location about 6:30 p.m. Ride on your own or form your own group. Keep in mind that several of these establishments close at 8:00 p.m.
You can find the complete listing in the Hot Dog Ride topic on the Forum (no login required!). They are also listed on the CRBMW Events Calendar. Thanks to John Panek for his work in preparing this year's schedule, and to John Zolot for setting up the foundation over the past several years!
And remember, "Come out for the ride, come out for the food, just come on out!"

Our CHITECH committee members have a wide range of experience with BMW motorcycles from the Earles-fork /2 models up to the F,G, K, and S models. And one thing they all enjoy is sharing what they know with others. This is the reason that CHITECH offers clinics, demonstrations, and seminars, as well as the well-known CHITECH manuals. Sometimes, of course, those of us who work on our bikes have questions that haven't been addressed by a CHITECH event or book. Well, here is a way to get a more timely answer: ask your question by sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. (click on this link for a shortcut). You can also submit an item through our Forum. And, the best questions and suggestions may well become topics for future technical activities!
