|
|
Hello all, new to this forum and I don't know how many K11 riders there may be in the Portland area, but I want to extend a welcome to folks here. A while back someone new to BMW asked about the Portland club. Told them sorry, no Portland club, just a state club the prefers the middle/southern part of the state. After this conversation, decided the Portalnd area could at least have a dinner night, not club affiliated, so we could meet other BMW riders and maybe help each other out with issues etc. So a bit over two years ago (?) I started posting about the dinner and it has survived so far. Just a small random group that gets together for dinner, nothing more or less. An okay reason to eat out. So if interested, here's the information:
What: Portland Metro Bike Dinner
When: Third Wednesday of each month
Time: Around 6:30pm (or just before 6 to take advantage of Happy Hour)
Where: Pyramind Breweries McTarnahan Taproom
2730 NW 31st Portland Oregon, 97210
http://www.pyramidbrew.com/alehouses/portland
As for me and the K11? I currently have a 12LT for the MRS and I to run with. As soon as finances will allow it I plan to add another bike to the garage for more of a "me" bike. I love the looks of the 12RS and the 12GT and have been leaning towards the GT since a back issue may not appreciate the lean on the RS. Then I saw the 11RS SE model and ooooh baby. I would love to find a 11RS in person to look at and sit on so if an opportunity presents itself, I will know if I have to jump or not.
Hope to see some folks there.
Brian

It's dinner time again folks! This Wednesday, February 16, 2011. Last month we had a pretty good turn out of folks and actually had 4 bikes show up. Let me tell ya, other customers at the Taproom were pretty nervous when they pulled up and saw those bikes out front......okay maybe not, 3 K1200LT's and 1 K1200GT just don't strike fear in hearts of diners like other bikes do, then again we also don't offend the ears like other do.
Any way, hope to see you there. And maybe the weather will start getting better soon so some R, F, and G bikes will venture out.
As before, I plan on being there shortly before 6pm in order to take advantage of happy hour prices on food. Other wise, hope to see you there around 6:30 or when ever you can make it.

Oh NUTS.
I'd be there but the 3146 mile trip (one way) is a bit much for dinner.
Seriously, have a great meet.

I knew I forgot to do something this weekend...........
Yes, there is a dinner this Wednesday, May 18, but I can't be there. My daughter has a program at her school and I am going to go to that. I don't think it will be over in time for a visit to the Taproom. So I guess I will just have to see everyone next month, in June! Is it almost June? Did I miss spring?

If anyone has a K75 or K100, I would love to meet you and talk to you about your bike and maybe do a test sit if you wouldn't mind.

Not quite time for dinner yet, but wanted to let folks now that I have started a FaceBook page for the dinner more or less. Search Portland BMW Riders if you are interested. _________________ 2005 K1200LT-Ocean Blue

It looks like we may actually have a bit of winter finally. If mother nature decides to snow on Wednesday, I would suggest staying home. Just not worth it.

BMW Tigard has what looks like some interesting speakers lined up for the night of the 15th, the next night for our dinner. I plan on attending the event at BMW so won't be at the dinner. I will still post the dinner as an event, but wanted to let people know the other event for that evening.
I am also thinking about finding a location to the south of Portland, like around the Hwy 217/Hwy 26 or Hwy 217/I-5 area to hold the dinner. My thoughts being to hold it at both locations, alternating them. Even months one location, odd months the other. This way the menu does not get old over time and maybe some other folks might stop by. What do you think? _________________ 2005 K1200LT-Ocean Blue
