BOD COVID STATEMENT

To the members and affiliates of the Airheads Beemer Club from the Board of Directors.

We have all heard this many times by now - We are dialing with difficult and unprecedented circumstances from the COVID 19 Global Pandemic. From our families to our local communities and at a global level.

It is the responsibility of each and every one of us to do our part in this crisis, and that has resulted in cancelation of nearly all club activities especially those involving that in-person camaraderie that we are all so fond of.

While we all hope and plan to see things return to some sort of normalcy, and to avoid cancelation of even more events in the future, the club leadership feels that we should as a club come together on some basic guidelines. We are not health experts, and do not intend to establish rules policies or engage in the political discourse surrounding this crisis.

Many of us are anxious to hold tech days, and annual gatherings this season when health experts are asking everyone to avoid gatherings of more than 10 people. In some areas, state and local governments are banning such gatherings for anything other than essential activities. Members are faced with the dilemma of the loss of these wonderful gatherings, or complying with governmental restrictions and also protecting the health of their members.

If a state or local governmental order prohibits having an in-person meeting, the decision on whether to have the event is easy: You should not hold the event. The BOD reccomends that you follow the governmental orders.

If there are no explicit restrictions, the club leadership hopes and expects that all members organizing and hosting events will follow all local guidelines for the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), gathering sizes and social distancing. The club does not officially sponsor or support any gatherings that do not fully comply with state and local guidelines.

Please be safe, protect your friends, family and fellow members and stay healthy for a bright future and prosperous club going forward.

History and Founders

- The Airheads Beemer Club was founded in 1991 by B. Jan Hofman (#1) and Al Watson (#2.)
- B. Jan produced the first copy of "Airmail," our club newsletter, in December of 1991, and he continues to be the editor today.
- The term "airhead," as it relates to BMW motorcycles, was coined by Al.
- The term "oilhead," as used by the International Oilheads Club, was coined by B. Jan.
These terms have entered the motojournalist lexicon.
- Our slogan, "Simple by Choice" was created by Ron Jensen.
- The club logo was designed by Jan except for the smile, which was the idea of Carolyn Laronche.
- Our first rally was the Feb. 1993 Death Valley Rendezvous initiated, planned, and executed by Fred Kumm #117.
- Our original website was conceived and created by Mike Leonard.
- The ABC continues to thrive thanks to the talents and selfless dedication of its volunteers.
