Cindy & Duncan Bennett Editor’s Report

Oncemore unto the Journal dear friends, once more. Henry V did it, and so must we, although Henry filled the walls with English dead while we collectively fill columns with English grammar. Definitely not dead grammar though, it is no longer surprising to us that the BMWMCQ membership are happily literate in both writing articles and displaying knowledge of all the weird BMW motorcyle model alphanumerics.

We have an interesting variety of articles this month which I hope you will enjoy reading as much as we have. You will see a few Frigid Digit pics in this edition and there will be a fuller spread in September’s edition due to our publishing deadline (do I sound like Rupert...?).

STOP PRESS: A big thank you to Graham Healey and Paul Hughes for the rescue mission getting the sick R1200C (The Best In Show) home from Crows Nest following the Frigid Digit. Proud to be in a Club where members support and help each other!

Duncan & Cindy

Editors’ son and grandson taking in the full majesty of the R1200C on a recent short ride. They just need proper retro helmets not those colourful MX lids..... think grandson Dom may be a convert from the smile on his face upon returning from the ride! Is it too early to sign a 9 year old up as a member? :)
