MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT – Vince Santaniello

I’m happy to take this opportunity to thank those people that put so much hard work into our NS 450. John Moorhouse did an excellent job of being our MC, of course it would never be possible without the fantastic door prizes generated by Ron Cesaretti, and Ron does so much work behind the scenes that most of us don’t even know about. Good job Ron! We have to thank Nancy, Bob, Phil Levin, and Phil’s neighbor, new member in waiting, Randy Stuart. Randy did an excellent job with the GPS routing and a “dry run” out there a few weeks ago with Phil and myself. The weather did not cooperate and because of that I need to express a special thank you to our dedicated members, and the many non-members, that braved the elements and came out. Considering what we were up against weather wise, having a turnout of almost 50 people makes this an outstanding suc-cess, imagine the turnout with sunshine and blue sky! I should also mention all the compliments the chef was getting. Diner and breakfast was fantastic! Oh, and by the way, expect a very handsome financial report from Nancy! My only question now is, where will it be next year? (ed.: Already working on it!)

Meeting Minutes – Nancy Glindmyer April Meeting President Vince skidded into the meeting with his hair on fire at 7:01, just in time to start the meeting. Phil, Vince and Phil's neighbor (Randy) did a dry run of the 450 route. The discovered three detours since their last scouting trip but, not surprisingly, found some great roads around them and we're all set. There was a mini club meeting last month with Steve, Tom and Kevin on their way north meeting Ron, Wayne and Jim on their way south (or the other way around) in Willville,VA, where a mysterious evaporation of copious amounts of moonshine oc-curred. The April breakfast side to the Evergreen Dairy Bar was very well attended, despite our expectations of only a half dozen people. (Ed. Think end count was 32 attendees, unfortunately I don’t have any pictures…) Frank Florio, our regional MOA coordinator, plans to be at the Millville Motorsports Park on April 30 - May 1 and would love to meet any members also attending the races. Since there are so many members planning to attend and camp at the MOA National in Hamburg, NY, this July, New Swe-den has arranged for a 10'x20' tent with tables and chairs to be delivered to our club camping space. This will be much appre-ciated if it's beastly hot or raining and our club banner will be prominently displayed.. Phil is already making plans for our Christmas party! We'll be returning to Tarantella's on a Friday evening in December. This year we'll get the big room so we can enjoy the delicious cui-sine without feeling like sardines. Al Pierson won the 50/50 for the first time in quite a while. Is this the start of a new winning streak?

NOTES TO SELF FROM THE NS450 1) Traveling with good friends is invaluable when its 40 degrees outside but you and your friends have rented a toasty warm trailer 2) When you're rolling backwards down an incline after your bike stalls, apply the brake(s) 3) Its not helpful to carry a battery booster unless it's charged 4) Traveling with good friends is invaluable when you do stupid things 5) No matter how fast some people ride, they do not hesitate to stop for however long it takes to help a fellow rider in need

NS450 2016 – Phil Levin Another one is in the books, we hit some VICIOUS weather on Day 1 but I think it only added to the event! Thanks to all… another successful event! Pics from various members:

MotoGiro Spring 2016 – Harry Costello The 2016 Spring Giro was held, the last weekend of April, at Sunny Hill Resort in Greenville, NY on the Northern edge of the Catskills. It was the second time at Sunny Hill and they seem to enjoy having us there. I think the general consensus was that we enjoyed being there. The Giro is traditionally held in early Spring and late Fall this gives the promoters the opportunity to

book the venues during their off season and receive a lower rate. The venue owner gets to fire up his management and wait staff for an early dry run or to use up left over supplies at the end of the season. A win- win for both parties. Down side is; it’s EARLY Spring and that computes to cold and rain, or LATE Fall which can produce some really cold mornings. To those not familiar with the Moto Giro I think it can best be described as an Enduro lite. You have a paper route sheet, a start and finish time, and time checks along the way. The route is usually 3/4 blacktop and 1/4 gravel or hard pack dirt. Re-member these bikes are over forty years old and some of the riders have children older than the bikes. Generally the roads offer nothing a competent road rider can’t handle. The ma-chines, as mentioned above, must be manufactured in 1968 or before and there are classes for 65,125.200.250, and 305 (The Mad Men) cc bikes. Friday: Check in starts in the late afternoon and is followed by catching up with old friends (I heard you were dead!) followed by a search for dinner and some light drinking. Saturday: Partially sunny and cool in the Catskills this morning but it is April. The first bike is off at 08:00 and two a minute leave the gate every minute until all almost 150 machines roar off down the road. I should mention that usually when a rider leaves a location (start, finish and lunch) they have to negoti-ate through a obstacle course of cones in a specific amount of time, too fast or too slow or cones knocked down affect your score. My advice, squash all the cones you want but DON”T HIT THE TIMING LIGHTS. The route, as usual, was outstanding; they are laid out by local guys and they go out of their way to show-case the best views in the area. The nasty section on Saturday was about two miles of freshly laid gravel about four inches thick. The rest of the route was standard Giro with great views and hills sometimes attacked at the blistering speed of 10 MPH. Remember most of these machines have engines smaller than the average lawnmower. After the last bike is in either un-der its own power or in the back of a truck, it’s time for the evening activities. Dinner is provided by the event and after-ward a few speeches and recognition for the volunteers that run the event. They then hand out the next day’s route sheets and the old guys head off to bed, the young ones do what young people do. Sunday: Sunday dawns cold, wet and ugly. Temps are in the high forties and predicted to drop during the day and precipita-tion is predicted to be light or medium showers ALL day. It’s days like this that separate the Men from the Boys (Women from Girls) and well less than half the bikes rolled up to the eight AM starting line. Interesting array of rain gear on the rid-ers, ranging from wax cotton Belstaff to Aerostich and Klim. All



buttoned up they hit their starting time, run the obstacle course and venture out into the mist. The views on Sunday were likely great but riding through the rain up and down hills on twisty roads you don’t take too much time to sightsee, if you’re smart. I did see waterfalls. The dirt sections were that red clay type stuff that turns to grease when wet and it was very obvious who the dirt riders were. I enjoyed throwing mud at the 305cc riders that blew past my 125cc mount on the blacktop, but I knew they would pass me again down the road. Fog, mist and wet roads doesn’t leave much time to look at more than the route sheet, the odometer and the hundred feet of road in front of your front tire but once I looked to the side and there was the Crystal Brook Resort, home of the Shore Riders fall event and the Bavarian Bauhaus where I’ve lifted a few with the Jersey Shore guys. Days like this become some-thing between just you and God (I believe), you could say the bike quit and ride to the finish in a warm truck or you could just soldier on, who would know. My riding companions were dropping out left and right, leaving mostly the hard core and insane, most were down to patching their tired mounts with tie wraps and electrical tape, in the rain, on the side of the road. It’s amazing what shakes off these old bikes when you push them really hard. 300 miles on 40/50 year old bikes with skinny tires, minimal suspension, no electric clothing and all kinds of weather and terrain can be grueling when the weather goes bad, but you can always quit. A relative sprinkling of ma-chines roll into the finishing line and my little Honda while drip-ping wet and packed with mud is ticking away just as it has all day. A quick grunt to the other finishers and off to the trailer and home. Giro 2016 Spring is in the books. Aftermath: Figuring I'd not done spectacularly well in the ob-stacle courses sections (IMHO) I just loaded my bike and started home. I used to be serious and did well (3 firsts/2 sec-onds and 3 thirds) now I just run through the obstacle course and leave to do the road section, rarely looking to see how I did. Seems like I did a lot better than I expected, and that and the attrition factor gave me a third in my class, which I found out about in an E-mail when I returned home. I have to men-tion that my almost 50 year old rain gear held up surprisingly well in the all-day rain, completely preventing dampness even in the critical crotch area. If you want more info about the MotoGiro just ask. FOR THE NSBMWR CROWD: I have to give big Kudos to Doug Evans. Doug rolled out a 65cc Honda to complete in the 65cc class. That's the class where the real crazy people ride. Imagine 300 miles up and down mountains on a machine with less

horses than the average stagecoach. We won't even get into creature comfort. Overcoming mechanical problems that would have put most sane people back on the trailer Doug ends up finishing and coming in third in his class. WELL DONE OBSTACLE COURSE:

With the hesitation at the turns and stop signs I'd say these

guys were kind of newbies, after a while you just know where

the turn is. They do put up arrows (one) but they are small and

usually seen when you’re well into the turn. The stop signs are

fun, I started the day Saturday slowly rolling through them and

ended up Sunday afternoon going through them in third gear.

With the little bikes, momentum is your best friend, if you stop

it can take a while to get back to 35/40 MPH.

Review of the Innovv K1 Two Channel Dual Cam-

era Video System - Tom Wright I'll start by saying I like gadgets. Add to that periodically getting caught up watching those YouTube dash cam videos. So when I saw the Innovv K1 with front and rear cameras and on-board DVR with screen at a reasonable $265 I decided to give one a try on my 2012 R1200GSA. Included in the box is the DVR recorder with an LCD color screen, two cameras, a GPS unit that can display speed and lo-cation onto the video, and remote button to save a specific segment to protect it from overwriting. The unit came with a set of simple instructions. I had been following an online thread about the system for a few weeks and had asked a few questions of the manufacturer. Innovv is in China but the quick response is among the best I have seen. In fact, the company is actively listening to rider's feedback and is responding to sug-gestions, such as offering a longer cable on the front facing camera for installing on an RT. When the package arrived I was a little intimidated by the sev-eral cables, connections and brackets. The instructions were brief with concise English but more importantly for me was the very clear step by step photos of the install procedure. The in-stallation went smoothly, the only challenge being fitting the main unit under the GSA seat due to the limited available space.

Here are some photos of the system on my GSA: Front camera on top of the fog light.



Rear camera under the license plate reflector.

The GPS unit with a speaker that announces the recording has

started or stopped. I placed tape over it because there was a

warning the speaker may not be completely waterproof. The

GPS/speaker unit is difficult to see in this photo. It is on top of

the headlight to the left of the windshield bolt

The GSA has very little free space. I already had my Eastern Beaver fuse block installed. I had to realign some things to fit the DVR LCD screen main unit in there. It is tight. The recording is stored to a micro SD card. I am using a 64GB class 10. This should give about 5 hours of recording time before it automati-cally overwrites. There is also a padded case the unit is stored in.



Lastly, the button to save a recorded segment. I determined it should be placed where I can easily reach it in the event some-thing "notable" happens that I want to save.

The recordings are stored in two files with similar names one for the front and one for the rear camera. You can select to have the recordings in one, two, five, or ten minute segments. I am using five minute intervals. With some simple video editing software and Googling around the internet and I was able to find instructions for doing a picture in picture final video. In that video I can place the rear camera video so that it masks the GPS speed and location information (you understand). I am a novice at video editing I used iMovie because that is what was on my MacBook Pro. The built in GPS has a feature I haven't explored yet. From the INNOVV website: Using the GPS and Registrator soft-ware can display the whole route and an arrow with the cur-rent position and direction of your travel for the video. It even allows you to click on the route and video seek to the time when you were driving at a given point. This is made easier for you by having timestamps along the route.

The final video is fairly clear. It won't clearly identify a license plate at any significant distance but it does a good job of pre-senting the environment around the motorcycle, front and rear. The first few videos I have done with this have pretty poor audio but audio wasn't my primary reason for purchasing the system. The video is not as sharp as GoPro and they don't intend it to be. It is a dash cam and the quality is similar to the



usual dash cam video you'll find. This is probably a little better than most. But the price of the unit reflects the added compo-nents you don't get with a $29 dash cam. I purchased this for the ability to record and reproduce "nota-ble moments". My plan is to avoid "notable moments". And I will have the ability to record and reproduce my rides.

New Acquisitions: Klaus Huenecke (Article courtesy of Klaus and NJSBMWR)

Some good interesting things are casting their shadows ahead - free translation of the German saying: “Gute Sa-chen werfen Ihre Schatten voraus”. Good - at least for me – I think. The “think” is a 20’ container loaded with some interest

Rear camera under the license plate reflector.ing bikes that I pur-chased over the last 6 month or so in Germany and fi-nally have them shipped to me. The vessel has left the port in Germany last Wednesday and is said to dock in NY on May 7 – coincidentally my birthday – Hurray. Prior to buying the bikes, I had shipped 7 bikes to Ger-many, two of them for a Friend of mine who bought them on eBay and stored at my place for a while and five bikes from my collection. My bikes were intended for sale in Germany to fund the purchase of the new bikes. The bikes I shipped were: MV Agusta 750s – ’71, MV Agu-sta 600 – ’67, Krauser MKM 1000 – ’81 (the first Krauser to the US No.00001), Norton JPN – ’74, and a Honda CA 305 – ’65.

The bikes I bought are: Heinkel Scooter – ’61 (I could not pass it up – now I have 4 of them. The first one I bought in 1966 for DM 100 = $ 25.00, and used it to get my bike license – car license came a year later), Fallert BMW – ’84 (based on an R 80, done by a very well know German bike builder and customizer for BMW bikes – mostly air-heads), BMW R 50S – ’62 with period correct Bender (Denmark) sidecar, and a Muench 4 – ’78, serial no. 324 of 484 built. All the bikes are older than 25 years so they do not have to conform to EPA and DOT which makes the import easy. As soon as the container is unloaded, customs looked over the papers and collected the import duty of 2.5% of the declared purchase price, the container will be deliv-ered to me. When the doors on the container finally open at my place in Englishtown, you will see a big smile on my face (a rarity with me). I am sure the shipping pallets will be unloaded by me very quickly, the bikes will be uncrated, and, if there is enough time in the day some gas will be filled into the tanks, the batteries hooked up and the keys will be turned.



The roar of the Muench is something special, very differ-ent from any other 1200 ccm – 4 inline motor. The en-gine is from a car = NSU TT 1000 and slightly modified to 88 hp.

The first Muench was built in 1966 by Friedel Muench a craftsman extraordinaire. He did build 484 bikes from ’66 to ’84 and declared bankruptcy 3 times during those years. Back in the late 90s Friedel was contacted by a German entrepreneur with the idea of building a new bike with larger capacity and hp and torque then anything else on the market at that time – and the Muench 2000 was born. I flew to Germany that year for the official intro-duction of the bike in Wuerzburg, sat on the bike took a couple of pictures and went back home with a poster of it rolled up under my arm. The engine, a 4 cylinder inline, had Cosworth heads, fuel injection, 2000 ccm, 260 hp and crazy torque (I forgot

the correct figure). 250 units were to be built, but the “dream” ended after 15 bikes. The person who financed the undertaking had lost several millions (EURO) by than and gave up. I know of three Muench 2000 bikes in Ger-many that are registered and on the road. The rest of them are in private collections and Museums and proba-bly will never see blacktop under their tires. Friedel Muench passed away a couple of years ago, poor without an income, royalties or anything of that kind and mostly supported by donations from Muench enthusiasts around the world that committed themselves to donate EUR 10, 20, 50, 100 or more per month to support Friedel and his wife who were both in wheelchairs the last few years. Friedels wife is still alive and the Muench community is still supporting her. Mike Kowal and I went to the Isle of Man in 2004 and to Germany to visit some bike museums and private collec-tions. At that time we visited with Friedel Muench at his “Motoren Museum”, a museum for huge, humongous en-gines. For Friedel everything technical and especially en-gines had to be big. This place was full with engines from tanks, earth movers, coal scrubbers, 32 cylinder rotary airplane engines etc. The largest Ford V8 would have looked next to it like a model airplane engine. Friedel at that time had a stroke since a couple of years and was severely handicapped when walking, even with a walking stick or when signing memorabilia with his name, but his mind was still sharp like a razor blade. We had very good conversations with him. We also did see the Muench Museum which, at that time, was a private collection by Wilhelm Groh the presi-dent of the Muench club, with over 30 Muench bikes and a lot of Muench memorabilia. All those bikes and items have been moved to a Museum near the Hockenheim Ring by his widow after his death. The real work for me will be to get the bikes registered based on the German titles and the official import re-lease by customs. I have no idea what is to be expected from the “experts” at the Freehold DMV. The agreed value insurance with Condo and Skelly will be another hurdle that needs to be taken.



Babysteps, I do not want to get ahead of myself. The sooner this is done, the sooner (June?) I can take bikes to our monthly meetings, breakfast rides, Sunday out-ings, MOA National Rally etc. weather and time permit-ting of course.

RIDING IN THE RAIN: WHAT YOU CAN LEARN FROM NICKY HAYDEN

Unless you've been living in a cave, you know that Nicky Hay-

den just won the second race of the Malaysian World Su-

perbike event — his first World Championship-level win in a

decade, and Honda's first win in World Superbikes since 2014

— on a drenched track.

Nicky was able to put that not-really-competitive Honda on top

of the box because rain is a great equalizer.

It was probably extra-satisfying for him because every racer,

somewhere in his (or her) heart, knows that winning in the wet

takes being smooth, fearless, and smart in equal measures –

and that the credit for such wins redounds more to the rider

than the bike.

I had scheduled a short interview with Nicky before the Malay-

sia weekend (for a totally different story, about learning new

tracks). While I had him on the phone, I pivoted to talk about

riding in the rain. I told him that I’d noticed, years ago, that he

did well in wet races. I assumed that it went back to his dirt

track roots, and that he had an advantage whenever the bikes

were really moving around under the riders.

That wasn’t the way he saw it.

“I’d hardly ever ridden in the rain. Most of the [AMA Su-

perbike] tracks I’d raced on, we didn’t even ride in the rain,” he

told me, referring to tracks like Loudon, Mid-Ohio, and Day-

tona that were considered unsafe in the wet. “So when I first

went to Europe, I could be quick for one lap, but I didn’t have

the ability to be consistent for a whole race.”

He knew that racing in the rain was a skill he had to develop,

since World Championship races go rain or shine. So he really

worked in wet practice sessions and tests (when some other

riders kind of mail it in). “You don’t want to be known as a guy

who can’t race in the rain,” he said. “Team managers frown

upon it.”

He told me that he likes his wet setup to be about 10 percent

softer, spring-wise, to accommodate gentler rider inputs. “It’s

really important for me to be able to get my knee down,” he

added. “So we take a little ride height out, especially at the

back. I also turn down the steering damper, because I want the

bike to be able to move under me.”

“There’s a big difference between wet pavement, and standing

water,” he said. “If there’s standing water, then aquaplaning

can be a real problem. But if it’s just wet, you’d be surprised

how hard you can brake while you’re straight up and down.”



He told me that in Malaysia his peak brake pressure was nearly

as high in the rain as in the dry, but the key was to make that

initial take-up gentle (to transfer weight to the front and plant

the front tire) before going to full pressure. Then, you have to

ease off the brake much earlier as you tip the bike into the

turn; you can’t trail brake nearly as hard or as deep into the

corner.

“You’d be surprised how hard you can push,” he said. “I think

that in Malaysia, my lap times were only about 13 seconds off

my dry times. That’s not a lot, over a big two-mile track.”

One of Nicky’s keys to a good wet race is simply being confi-

dent enough to get some heat into the tires. And even as an

ex-World Champ, he had a rain tip every commuter can relate

to: Do anything you can to keep your visor clear. (He suggested

Rain-X.)

Now to be sure, Nicky didn’t have to worry about manhole co-

vers, or wet leaves, or coming to an urban intersection where a

generation of cars has marinated the asphalt in old 10W-30.

And if you’re just a commuter or fair-weather rider caught out

by a cloudburst, you don’t have the benefit of full-wet race

tires. But, mere mortals can use some of the same techniques

racers use to bring it home safely.

Don’t snatch that brake! Start with a gentle squeeze to transfer

weight to the front and push water out of the way.

Even though, as an ex-racer, I trust my front brake in the wet, I

often use my rear brake to reduce rear-wheel momentum and

initiate braking. A lot of street riders shift almost all their brak-

ing emphasis to the rear in the wet; that’s OK at slow speeds,

but remember that it’s harder to modulate the rear brake,

when you’re controlling it with a cold wet foot in a heavy boot.

Get off the brakes as you enter the turn.

I’m no Nicky Hayden, but the way I adjust my body position in

the rain depends on what I’m riding. On sport bikes, I like to

lean off a little more, keeping the bike more upright. If I’m rid-

ing a sit-up-and-beg style bike with a wider handlebar and bet-

ter leverage, I tend to "dirt track" it, letting the bike lean under

me while I keep my weight centered, on top of the bike and as

far forward as I can get it.

Either way, I get on the gas a little later and a little more gently

coming off corners, too. (Even my 125 cc Yamaha Vino briefly

came around on me the other day, when I got too aggressive

with the throttle while riding to the gym in a Midwestern

downpour.)

Obviously, if you’re riding a modern bike with a "rain" engine

map, you should use it. Failing that, consider short-shifting to

stay in a gentler part of the power band. If you have ABS, make

sure it’s turned on.

If your helmet has a breath deflector, use it. Make sure your

vents are open; if you’re still fogging up, try cracking your visor

a little bit.

One thing we all have in common with Nicky is that in the rain,

confidence helps. It’s easy to get into trouble because you’re

unwilling to brake hard enough or to run wide because you’re

afraid to lean your bike over far enough. Most riders underesti-

mate the wet grip available with modern street tires. If the al-

ternative is hitting something, you should always opt for firm,

confident control inputs.

Last, but not least, try a little attitude adjustment. When you’re

caught out in the rain, don’t think of it as a crap shoot; think of

it as practice. Your riding buddies will be impressed next time

they’re pussy-footing around in the rain while you cut smooth,

controlled lines.

It worked for Nicky Hayden.
