It is rumored I will be re-united with “Ugly Helga,” my 1981 BMW R80G/S that has been resting in the dreaded dark, dusty, and dank archives of Bob’s BMW Museum. Ugly Helga was so named for having left me stranded, DOWN AND OUT http://www.motorbooks.com/books/Down-and-Out-in-Patagonia-Kamchatka-and-Timbuktu/9780760345832 in some of the ugliest places on the planet. With 240,000 miles on the odometer, some say Ugly Helga weeps when I look at it, thinking I may have another adventure planned using it. I tell them Ugly Helga is not capable of weeping tears but is leaking oils from the numerous bolt holes I stripped over the years.

While at BOB's BMW I will be collecting "wild tales of motorcycle adventure" for a future publication. Attendees are invited to share stories secreted away, preferably unpublished, about expeditions/adventures/experiences from being on the road around the globe.

The multimedia show is scheduled from 12:00-1:00 PM and I'm slated to be in the showroom/museum for the balance of the day.

It's a free event and HU members are most "Welcomed" by BOB'S BMW in Jessup, Maryland.
