highmileage Congratulations High Mile Riders By Jim Heberling #191926
CONGRATUL A- tions to everyone receiving awards last year for either joining the High Mileage Honor Roll or reaching a new plateau. 2016 was a
record setting year, with just over half of the applications received from MOA members joining the High Mileage Honor Roll for the first time. At the other end of the High Mileage spectrum, very special congratula- tions go out to Dave McQueeney for reaching the amazing milestone of 1.8 million miles. Each month I receive email from
members saying how much they enjoy reading what other members have to say about their adventures on BMW motorcycles over the years. Happy riding to all!

“I didn’t begin riding BMW motor- cycles and discover the joy of long distance touring until I was 46 years old and bought a new K 1200 RS in 1998. I put about 65,000 miles on that bike and replaced it with my 2012 K 1600 GTL. I truly enjoyed both bikes, but my favorite is the K 16 probably because it is a more comfortable tour- ing bike, something that I appreciate much more in my 60s than I did in my 40s! “Starting from my home near Indi-
anapolis, Indiana, I’ve experienced a number of great rides during my first 100,000 BMW miles, including northwest Arkansas, the Cabot Trail

of Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota, Bear Tooth Pass in Montana, and the back- roads of West Virginia, Western North Carolina, and Tennessee (Tail of the Dragon). “Far and away, however, the Rocky
Mountains of Colorado is the destination that keeps drawing me back as my most memorable. If the mountain scenery and shear drop-offs of the Million Dollar High- way (Colorado Route 550 from Silverton to
Ouray) don’t take your breath away and leave you slack-jawed, you’re simply not alive and breathing, my friend! Addition- ally, the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park is a great example that the Rockies are not the only star attraction in the state. If you haven’t been there, I highly recommend you put this state full of eye candy on your bucket list! “I like to combine my destinations, rid-
ing with loops from a base camp to experi- ence a location more thoroughly. For
