1. Steve Kohler is a relatively new member of MOA but has been riding motorcycles, off and on, for 50 years. He recently released an HP2 and a K 1600 GT and now rides an S 1000 R and an R 1200 GSLC as much as he can in the hills around his home in the Ozarks where the traffic is light and the roads are sinu- ous. With his wife, Peggy, he travels to ride in eye-opening environments elsewhere. A writer, editor and publisher, he often attempts to translate medical research into everyday English for his readers. His book, Two Ozark Rivers, is a natural and human history of the nations' first protected scenic rivers.
2. Since 2003 Victor Cruz has written more than 20 articles for BMW Owners News. He’s a 15-year member of the Yankee Beemers, serving as Secretary and Editor and has organized group tours through Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mex- ico, Canada and Europe. He also contributes to Backroads magazine and is Principal of
MediaPR.net, a tech marketing firm in Boston.
3. Tracy Novacich #123130 came to motorcycling in 2003 after impulsively purchasing a 650 GS. She is a founding member of the GS Giants and has dedicated herself to the group's ideal of fostering new adventure riders. As a mediocre off-road rider, she maintains that being a GS Giant is not about being the best, but having the spirit of an adventurer and the ability to laugh at one's self. Tracy loves to travel on her R 1200 GS and lives in Pennsylvania with her husband, Matt and their pit bull, Stoney.

4. Dancin’ Dave Cwi is a Life Member of the MOA as well as a Premier Member of the Iron Butt Association. He's owned every series of BMW motorcycle from the /2 to the modern RT, and has burned out his wife, who once loved motorcycling but sold her bikes after two trips with Dave. He pays for his riding addic- tion via marketing stints, including work in Power Sports. You will see him down the road.
5. Jim Heberling hails from the Land of Lincoln. He started riding his dirt bike in the old gravel pits there in the 60’s and rode vari- ous brand cycles for 25 years. He spent the next 25 years fishing and enjoying quiet early
mornings on the lake with coffee and a couple of Fig Newtons. When Jim retired a couple years ago he purchased his first BMW, a 2013 R 1200 GSA and now enjoys traveling to rallies and volunteering wherever he can. As High Mileage Coordinator he has the opportunity to speak with members across the country and share their riding experi- ences while helping MOA members navigate to the High Mile- age Application on the BMW MOA website.
6. Shawn Thomas has worked for many years in the motorcycle industry and is currently a rider coach and guide for RawHyde Adventures as well as a trainer for BMW Motorrad. While Thomas lives in California with his wife, daughter and son, his work takes him across the globe and stories he brings back with him are priceless.
