I am announcing my candidacy for the Presidency of the MOA.

[BreadMan]

After being held back for so long from my rightful position of power, and after intense legal wrangling by the MOA Board (Why do you think your dues are so high?) I am finally being allowed to submit my name for the highest office in the BMW Motorrad volunteer organization.

Under my administration, we'll eliminate the number of final drive failures by 50%. We'll shorten service wait times in the spring by 2 days, and best of all, we'll provide kegs of Hoegaarden at the annual rally instead of that regular domestic stuff you've been drinking.

My campaign PAC will accept funds from developers and custom choppers shops, as I want my administration to be as egalitarian as possible.

Furthermore, I will move to ban Bubba Zanetti from the premises as soon as possible.

I look forward to your outpouring of support.

[jdmetzger]

But what's your stance on helmet laws? :stick

[BreadMan]

But what's your stance on helmet laws? :stick


:hide

As the President of the MOA, we will enter into a lucrative marketing agreement with Schuberth, the worlds premier manufacturer of flip-face helmets. As most BMW riders won't be seen without a flip-face helmet, this will provide a unique marketing opportunity for Schuberth, allowing them access to our group of highly educated and over compensated members.

[bubbagazoo]

I'm sure you could have found something better than Hoegaarden. It's not bad but it wouldn't be my first choice. My vote goes to the candidate who promises a beer that is dark and not domestic. Sorry BreadMan. :drink

[BubbaZanetti]

you had me till sentence number five.

i would like to announce my support for anyone except breadman as president of our fine organization.

Very well then.

I will also provide Guiness for you and your delegates.
I trust that will be amply dark and foreign for the swearing of your allegiance.

Bread Man do you have a Black Helicopter Pilots license ? Or do you just plan on riding on MOA One ? :drink

This year MOA One will be changed from an R1200GS to an K1200GT in a special BMW paint scheme. I will have this bike trailered to meet me at important events, where I will pose with it in an impressive array of BMW clothing.

[BreadMan]

I'm afraid the membership will speak with a loud and clear voice Bubba. It's probably best to begin collecting your personal belongings now.

[bubbagazoo]

Seems to me that anyone who needs to be elected to a position needs to be a politician at some level or another.

However, I will take your word that you will get things DONE.

[Rapid_Roy]

Breadman, I have heard you have raised dough from questionable sources.
ABATE and H.O.G.
How do you respond to these allegations?

Well, let see.....

my dues are paid by government funding so I could care less how high they go
My airhead has no final drive issues nor did they as a rule
I do my own service so I only have to wait until I feel like it
I never drink that watery domestic stuff, even if I did go the rally so..
I've developed just fine by myself and finally
"I chop 'em to bits becuase I like my hambergers raw!" so I don't care for or need any one elses chopper serivces..

so I guess you'll not get my vote...

RR, we don't need another divisive Administration like we have now, but rather one that will work together with all groups of people to advance to sport of motorcycling. If you think that money from HOG and ABATE is tainted money, perhaps you should consider joining your local scooter club.

[Rapid_Roy]

:laugh :nyah

I never said it was tainted, interesting choice of words, Mr wannabe.

The Scooter club refused my membership, as my scooter had a Jet engine and wheelie bars.

I don't drink beer, watcha gonna do for those of us who could care less about Beer and like Bubba?

Trailers are for boats. Bikes have wheels and licenses allowing them to be operated on public roads and highways. No real candidate for the presidency of the BMWMOA would ever advocate trailering a bike. Too bad your candidacy ended the same day it began. :)

Having fewer than 100 posts, I suspect you have ulterior motives in your run for the highest office in the land. However, since you also seem to be willing to sell out to anybody for anything for a vote, I will be carefully watching your position evolve over time.

BTW How do you feel about mandatory carry for all BMW owners. Riding unarmed is very dangerous in Texas and other parts of the country.

Think very carefully before you respond. :stick

PS The black helicopters are still parked in my backyard due to the cost of fuel. They will most likely remain grounded until after the election.

I love Irish beer. Murphy's Stout is the goods. If you like Guiness, you'll love Murphy's. :drink But again, I don't ride an Irish bike and this forum ain't the Irish Motor Works Motorcycle Owners of America.

If you picked a nice Bavarian beer instead of something Irish, we could have avoided all this unpleasantness.

Let's talk some more about my campaign platform.

I understand that you are all interested in alcohol, and in fact I also am a big fan. I like blonde Belgians such as Hoegaarden, full-bodied reds such as Amarone's and bourbons such as....well pretty much any bourbon.

As you may have read earlier, I will work hard to form strategic partnerships with outside vendors, and one of these areas is beverage arena. As BMW riders, we need to work hard to catch up with our H.O.G. brethren when it comes to on-the-road drinking. Since we're less in numbers, we'll have to compensate by drinking much better booze. We'll also develop a chart that shows which alcohol is paired best with your particular BMW motorcycle.

For example, F650CS riders would be best suited with a nice, cold Zima or Mike's Hard Lemonade.

People, people, one question at a time!!

We will have a Department head position for beer, liquor and wine. Each Department head will have a vendor representative from the respective industry assigned to you at all times to supply fresh, frosty concoctions whenever you require.

However, these positions will be available to R or K bikes owners only. F bike and airhead owners need not apply.

I believe excluding the airheads and f bikes is partisan and inappropriate. Let them be responsible for the wine and the cheese.

WHAT?! An Airhead is the ORIGINAL "R" bike. HOW DARE YOU, SIR?!

That's it. No Airhead support? This is ridiculous! If you won, it would be a travesty! A sham! A mockery! ... it would be.... a travashamockery!!!!!!!!! :eek

Keep your voice down, Sir!

This is not some bar-room brawl we're in, but a professional, courteous atmosphere. That being said, most riders of airheads are too slow to keep up with the new modern pace of the MOA, so they will be left to work on such vital parts of the MOA such as the ON.

Breadman, you have them running. You've already knocked out your most serious competition. Keep up the good work. In two years who knows what you can do. You could be come President Deluxe.

You can start this week by going to Germany and demanding the F800GS be released earlier. If they refuse, tell them you are thinking about applying for citizenship. :D

I will not pipe down when a voice of injustice and insanity attempts to take control of this venerable club! I say insanity because you must be crazy to alienate the largest single chartered club in the MOA - the Airheads. And you KNOW how much more frequently older people vote than the younger ones. How do you expect to win election without our support? I anxiously await your response, and possible an olive branch of peace - or maybe just a quality beer would be acceptable?

Airheads too slow to keep up with the new modern riders? Sure, the newer bikes may accelerate faster, and have a higher top speed, but I assure you; Airhead riders will catch and PASS these newer bikes as they stop to have their leaky final drives replaced; just ask Nye. If you're nice, maybe you can talk some of the airhead riders into carrying spare FD parts and tools to help out the poor souls on these newfangled contraptions.

it is, BTW, my feeling that BMW is having leaky final drives in an attempt to get their customers used to oiling a chain as they convert to this different technology...

[BreadMan]

Apparently, I misspoke when referring to the airhead situation. Under the BreadMan Administration we'll welcome everyone into the fold that carries the BMW roundel, with the exception of the R1200C riders, and we'll downright disown anyone on a R1200CLC.

Now, did we just have a nice round of vituperous, vitriolic, vindictive, slanderous, screaming, scandalous, abusive, abstrusive, adolescent comity?

Clearly your qualifications are in question if you display such ignorance regarding the mores and morals of this hallowed forum. DGT was a battlefield where points of honor and irrefutable truth were explored in philosophical debate. Paramount among the lofty topics was that very institution in which you seek high office, Politics. DGT at its zenith displayed the high arts of name calling, belittling, dissemination of false information and internet fact checking. The unmatched genius and irrefutable brilliance of that venue verily extinguished itself in its own bright flame. It is with honor that this shrine of noble discourse was retired and you kind sir, claim qualifications to the exhaulted position of President while ignorant of this pivotal chapther in MOA history.

[OfficerImpersonator]

Do I weigh in on DGT, a subject near and dear to my heart, or do I weigh in on JD thinking 2nd place last year = 1st place in 2 years, or do I weigh in on the fact that Der Kommisar has just made himself a lame duck?

I see sir that my initial impression was correct. In fact, you fail to recognize the difference between wine and whine. If you were a loyal BMW owner, you would be cognizant that the W in BMW stands for whine not wine.. :stick

Therefore, as an impostor, I demand an immediate recount in any election where you receive votes.

Of course, a recall petition is ready for circulation if you would be elected. :deal

And last, but not least, your disparaging remarks about our Grand Poo Bah, :bow Kbasa, have not gone unnoticed. Take his total post count here and add it to his total post count over at the asylum and divide it by the number of days in his lifetime and you will see the folly of pretending to have anywhere near the time necessary to fulfill the obligations of the office.

However, if you would be willing to start lower on the ladder, you could provide sweet rolls at the next board meeting to show your sincerity and dedication to MOA and it's members. Actions speak louder than words. :stick

Clearly your qualifications are in question if you display such ignorance regarding the mores and morals of this hallowed forum. ...It is with honor that this shrine of noble discourse was retired and you kind sir, claim qualifications to the exhaulted position of President while ignorant of this pivotal chapther in MOA history.

Arguing politics is for the frail of mind and the weak in spirit. There is rarely any sort of change accomplished once you get to the base beliefs that each person holds, and the discussion of politics in a pleasant forum such as this leads to disunity among the members. If we're going to take over ABATE during my administration, we must work together!

I see sir that my initial impression was correct. In fact, you fail to recognize the difference between wine and whine. If you were a loyal BMW owner, you would be cognizant that the W in BMW stands for whine not wine..

My very first position statement on the matter addressed two of the most whined about situations within the BMW community. Final Drive failure, and service wait times. I know this because I hear your plaintive, bleating call for help, I hear the constant moaning from the masses, pining away for help. Of course, I call it whining, but I didn't want to come out and say it so directly.

...Kbasa, have not gone unnoticed. Take his total post count here and add it to his total post count over at the asylum and divide it by the number of days in his lifetime and you will see the folly of pretending to have anywhere near the time necessary to fulfill the obligations of the office.

I don't think you realize this, but it's not actually Kbasa. One of the least understood benefits of the MOA Presidency is that of the Scribe System. MOA provides a 24-hour scribe service, wherein there are always two people that can post for Kbasa. They have a large volume of talking points to refer to, which allows them to appear to be Kbasa, making snide comments about sartorial choices, modern furniture, or eyewear.

[BreadMan]

I think it was an idle threat.

He sold all his beemers, which is kind of sad, but is still riding Stella.

Mr. R1150GSA still maintains a K75 in his stable, and I am proud to announce that he will be joining my candidacy as my MOA Vice President. The VP position is a critical one within the MOA, and R1150GSA is well qualified to handle these responsibilities.

[Oldhway]

At this point the question begs to be asked (at least by those of us who don't hang out on Adv), what or who is a "Breadman" and why does this spin and propoganda qualify him to run? What is the true meat (Sauerbraten?) of his platform and what can we really expect if he is elected? More important, what is his background, are there skeletons in his closet, what is he trying to hide? What if he gets elected and makes sexually inappropriate advances to Vince or tries to hire Molly Cyrus as the entertainment for the next rally? Huh, what then?

WHAT IF HE'S A REPUBLICAN ? :uhoh :jawdrop

This is all stuff we need to know.

Of course if he would promise to get BMW to warranty tire and brake wear for the life of the bike I would vote for him anyway.

Discuss amongst yourselves while I mull this one over...

Wait a second... why do I deserve ridicule, today? I come out, protecting the masses of Airhead riders from the threat of tyranny and oppression, and all I get is abuse. Well that's just fine. I realize, as upcoming and eventual grand wizard of the MOA, that I will have to put up with some abuse from the lesser members. I'm completely prepared to put up with such things, just like I'm equally prepared to send out Vince (ON editor AND MOA hitman) to crush my enemies.

I can't wait to have my own fleet of black helicopters. I'm being drawn to the dark side... the Luke to Kbasa's Darth Vader...

I will move to ban Bubba Zanetti from the premises as soon as possible.

Who said anything about money? Roy mentioned “raised dough.”

So are you suggesting that we can come to understand our other brand riding brethren by simply talking to them? Who says we want to be like them anyway?

However, these positions will be available to R or K bikes owners only. F bike and airhead owners need not apply.

I am not in favor of exclusiveness, even if it means I won’t get one of the cabinet positions.

Apparently, I misspoke when referring to the airhead situation. Under the BreadMan Administration we'll welcome everyone into the fold that carries the BMW roundel, …

Ahh, so you’re a flip-flopper, too?

… with the exception of the R1200C riders, and we'll downright disown anyone on a R1200CLC.

Now you’ve done it, gone and disenfranchised the renegades of the BMW brotherhood. There is nothing you could do to gain my support now!

… but my staff has not briefed me well on the DGT situation. Can you fill me in please?

Just as I suspected, totally unqualified!

This thread has been entertaining so far, but I can't help wonder if it's really any better than many that existed in the now defunct sub-forum, especially some of those started by a banned member.

Oh...the rules! What is the rule about questioning the need for, or validity, or pertinence of the existing rules? Were the forum rules carried down a mountain on stone tablets? Or are they an extension of the organization's by-laws, which are subject to revision and ammendment?

DISCLAIMER: I don't advocate restoring any forum or member. I was raised to respect authority, and I really try. But thanks to my education and experiences, I've learned to question the principles that empower those in authority. I'm trying to wrap my brain around the apparently irrational aversion to historical and current events that might be considered "political", and why political discussion is such a taboo.

DOUBLE DISCLAIMER: I use the forum intermitently, and I appologize in advance if my questions have been answered during one of my absences.

4. You wanted to dismiss the airheads from your coalition of german motorcycle terror. May I suggest that they may be used to provide a cooling breeze at rallies instead, and be made to carry our spare final drives (just in case your promise cannot be achieved).:bow

Please fuel the choppers and have them on standby. My sources have told me that the 14 members that live in Canada have formed an alliance with the riders of the R1200C's, and will be attempting to form a hostile take-over bid at the next MOA meeting.

Do you plan on opening the doors of membership to non-motorcycle BMW owners (members)? I may end up with multiple votes and super delegate status. You have a lot to learn about your constituency.

For a person who claims Washington D.C. as his home, the Bread is quite presumptuous in demeaning others because of their home locations; must be a lawyer politician.

What I will allow is members of the MOA to own motorcycles other than BMW's. However, this will only apply to motorcycles that fit a niche that BMW does not fill. For example, a BMW owner would be able to purchase a newer Triumph Bonneville as that is a "vintage-style" bike that BMW does not currently produce. MOA members would not be allowed to have a bike such as the Suzuki DL-1000, as that bike is more than eclipsed in all areas by the R1200GS.

After significant and intense negotiations, we have reached an agreement with Bubba Zanetti. He will be allowed to stay as part of the BMW MOA, serving as the co-President of the Yankee Division alongside Rob Nye.

Mr Breadman, as you can see the alternative offers are POURING in! We are starting to feel like super-delegates (:eat ) and are becoming power hungry... but obviously not as hungry as a BreadMan! Perhaps a role in your coalition of the BMWMOA misfits as treasurer and fine scotch & cigars procurement committee lords might go a long way towards gaining the crucial canadian endorsement to your twisted platform. When you think about it, we Canadians have legal access to Cuban cigars!!! and BMW motorcycles with odometers that read ONLY in km/h (very useful tool in negotiating a speeding ticket in the US!).:deal

We will await your counter offer but would like to remind you that the Canadian negotiator (shown in your previous picture) is in fact a Montreal Canadians (hockey) fan, and has not been mandated to negotiate in our name. Please refer to the picture of the real negotiator.

Ooooooo you didn't just say that! You're in trouble now!

[BreadMan]

Ooooooo you didn't just say that! You're in trouble now!


Sometimes I break car glass by merely hitting the vehicle with my back.

[Bill Burke]

However, whomever you are comparing me to must have been quite the dashing, handsome fellow, full of vim and vigor.
What is vim anyway? I'm not sure I like the sound of this.

[KGT1200]

What is vim anyway? .

My Mama told me it had to do with pomp and circumstance and how one carried oneself in a crowded room; I can attest here that Mr. Breadman seems to fill this requirement of the high office, just as so many great politicians before him.

I see him as more than the spoiler in the race

He seems to be the ultimate in the world of hanging chads

[Bill Burke]

He seems to be the ultimate in the world of hanging chads
But what about hanging nads? Maybe he's got too much vim, like Clinton...

[Rapid_Roy]

Could you please state that in the form of a question.

Thank you

RF
Hey Man! He broke the aspiring President!

I have an idea. I am off to another thread.

[BreadMan]

Your new thread stinks, I tell you, stinks!!

[Rapid_Roy]

Your new thread stinks, I tell you, stinks!!
It was an older thread, and I like the sense of humor of the guy that started it, so:nyah

[R1150GSA]

I look forward to your outpouring of support.


You know what I look forward to?

I look forward to you shutting your big, fat mouth up so my headache will go away.

How do you like that?

For a solemn Friar, that seems just a bit harsh, doesn't it Padre'? Time to renew your vows. I thought charity was one of 'em....

[tessler]

Bless you Friar now say two full throttles and provide a beer recipe. Welcome to the forum of crabby old men with iron butts. :thumb

:ha

ADV pokes its pointy little head into the MOA forum again courtesy of 1150GSA's virgin post. Nice. And Breadman's been MIA for the past few anyway.

I'll really eat my shorts should I see Hodag and Diaz post here again. :whistle

:ha

*bonus double-points for Rider, Toothy, SFR or Baldy appearances.

[Rapid_Roy]

This is all too much.:ha

I too, wonder where Breadman is.

I rode through Bucks County today, and it was all I could do to stop from ramming my head through the nearest plate glass window to block out the ugliness of that place. It seems that your natural vegetation is rust and concrete.

Woa Friar, this isn't the ADV forum. We are a little more civil here. :D

[Rapid_Roy]

Woa Friar, this isn't and ADV forum. We are a little more civil here. :D
Maybe he is from the Friar's Club. :dunno

Hi, Kevin. :wave

Glad to see you here. :buds

Looks like you are civil there (http://www.advrider.com/forums/showthread.php?t=49081) as well. Nice ride. Nice report.

You are certainly running an unconvential campaign!!:scratch

[BubbaZanetti]

i was recently wondering about you, come down to the mod forum we got stuff to tell you.

[rocketman]

What? NOT AGAIN!!!!????

[SIBUD]

Tell all of us.:thumb

[GlobalRider]

And best of all, we'll provide kegs of Hoegaarden...

I hope you know more about running the BMWMOA than you do about bier (http://www.bier.de). :whistle

[Oldhway]

Tell all of us.:thumb

They are secrets that only the anointed Conspirators can know. :dance

Let me guess........you are sending a Black Helicopter for him.:whistle

Whoaaa... I'm impressed. How did you know? :thumb

Is your name really Radar (play MASH theme here)?

[SIBUD]

I thought you meant the un-indicted co-conspirators.:dance

[BreadMan]

Hmmmph, you need to send me samples of whatever it is you think is better. I'll drink it and then I'll let you know my opinion.

Send lots and lots of samples.

[hlothery]

Send lots and lots of samples.

Now there is a campaign slogan!!

[r1dinman]

Be careful! Iwas ready to jump on the bandwagon, then I noticed Breadman is from Washington, D C. Beware of big promises. The beer may be O'Doules and the dues will be reduced to $140 per quarter. Airheads will be required to go digital by April 1, 2009!

[SIBUD]

Hmmmph, you need to send me samples of whatever it is you think is better. I'll drink it and then I'll let you know my opinion.

Send lots and lots of samples.

Just another Washington insider who wants to take advantage of the working stiffs.

Don't do it, he will claim he doesn't remember and ask you to send more.

It's a ploy, I tell ya.:dance

[AKBeemer]

:wave

One must admire Breadman's ability to stir things up and get people motivated to act. He posts a simple smiley face and a fire-storm activity ensues. If only any of the fuss was leading to something positive, like free beer for all. Noch einmal!!!

[BreadMan]

I have been working hard on my "stimulus package" and right now, all I'm willing to disclose is that it involves some rewiring of your Gerbings.

Details at 6.

[Bill Burke]

Allow me to suggest the campaign song:

Is that a metaphor for the "little blue pill"?

Will you buy some for those of us who don't have either Gerbings or Aerostitch anything?
And not a key fob either.

Let me see what I can connect to that old tractor batter in the garage and it will be all yours.

[Statdawg]

Help bring Breadman out of exile.

[Bill Burke]

I'll vote for the Breadman. What's he running for?

[PAULBACH]

I'll vote for the Breadman. What's he running for?

Does it make any difference? Would it make any difference? :laugh

[MCMXCIVRS]

.....this will provide a unique marketing opportunity for Schuberth, allowing them access to our group of highly educated and over compensated members.

What about members like me who don't fit this criterea. Will we get deals too :dunno

This stinks of the egalitariumanism or whatever that was you talked about eliminating.

[barryg]

This little misunderstanding can be settled like gentlemen, mano a mano. I propose a dual. Pistols or sabers. Will the two aggrieved parties please step forward with their seconds. :nra:hide:lurk

[SIBUD]

I'll vote for the Breadman. What's he running for?

I think it is "cover".:laugh

[cathdeac]

Beer is liquid Bread!

Let's hear it for Beer!:usa

"Beer is proof God wants us happy." Ben Franklin... I think..

[barryg]

B double e double r u n beer run. B double e double r u n beer run. All we need is a 10 or a 5, cars and a key and a sober driver. B double e double r u n beer run. To the tune of the beer run song. :dance :whistle :beer

[Gilly]

I'm not gonna call the cops but I'm gonna have to keep this card. The guys both took it pretty hard..................

[jamesdunn]

Breadman you have my vote! But, you had better deliver on your promises or else!

Breadman is gone, so I'm taking over. First 4 rounds of drinks are on the MOA. :drink

:D

[barryg]

Count me in. :buds

[Statdawg]

I will take A point.

First plan of attack is take out the Charging Station, then move on the astroid before the Russians.

[kgadley01]

Does anyone know what ever happened to Breadman? I really enjoyed his humor. I hope he didn't go and buy a Jap bike.:scratch

[bigdelta]

I'm sure you could have found something better than Hoegaarden. It's not bad but it wouldn't be my first choice. My vote goes to the candidate who promises a beer that is dark and not domestic. Sorry BreadMan. :drink

I'm in as long as they flow Bud Lite

[GrafikFeat]

I'm in as long as they flow Bud Lite

I thought they said 'beer'... :hungover

[jdmetzger]

I believe I've already promised a better and more enjoyable MOA experience in this thread over here (http://www.bmwmoa.org/forum/showthread.php?t=25002&page=4). Plus, unlike BreadMan, I stick around to finish what I start... :wave

[PAULBACH]

Run Josh run!

[criminaldesign]

we have a president?

[jdmetzger]

Run Josh run!

I am - far, far away. :ha

[AKBeemer]

I demand to see Josh's birth certificate .... or er... his vehicle registration.

[PAULBACH]

I am - far, far away. :ha

Well ...

The statement was open ended. Never did say
