A priest, a rabbi and Paul Thorn walk into a rally


THAT IS PROBABLY A GREAT


opener to a fantastic joke; however, the news from the Foundation is no joke. It does have a lot to do with religion, Paul Thorn and Das Rally! although it’s about the religion of motorcycle safety. The priest and the rabbi were just extras. If you haven’t heard, Paul Thorn is


playing the Saturday night concert at Das Rally! in Hamburg. The Brothers Landreth will be opening for Paul, and my guess is Saturday will be one rocking good time. Paul’s mix of gritty vocals, hard-hitting lyrics and and cool musicianship are likely just the thing to close out our three-day celebration. What you might not know is that


Paul is doing a solid for MOA mem- bers in the name of rider training. The Foundation and Paul Thorn got together a few months ago and decided to take his involvement with the MOA to the next level. Along with Paul’s Saturday performance, he offered the Foundation exclusive license to a greatest hits CD of his


work. Tupelo Blue at Niagara Falls features ten of Paul Thorn’s best recordings that are sure to delight any music fan. The CD is on sale now at bmwmoa.org for $25, and all the proceeds benefit GEARS Training. If you buy your CD before the Rally, we even have a couple of Das Rally! stickers for your side case. Paul and his management team have


been more than gracious to the MOA Foundation and our effort to support motorcycle safety, especially GEARS Train- ing. If you know a young person that would like to learn how to ride or improve his or her skills, GEARS Training will be offered in Hamburg at no cost to the participant. You read that correctly—FREE. Training will take place Tuesday and Wednesday, July 12 and 13, on the Rally grounds. Partici- pants need proper riding gear, including boots, long pants, long sleeves, gloves, eye protection and helmets, but motorcycles and professional instructors are supplied as well as admission to the Rally. Riders can register online at the Das


Rally! webpage or call (864) 438-0962 and register over the phone. Space is limited to 24 students and a $50 deposit is required to


guarantee the space; however, the deposit will be refunded at the end of the training. It is a great opportunity for our youngest members to ride the right path for a safe motorcycling journey. The news doesn’t end there. The Founda-


tion will be giving away the Wunderlich Custom Classic R 100 Saturday night between sets! The R 100 was featured on the cover of the May issue and you can win it. Tickets to win the motorcycle are $25 each or five for $100 and can be purchased online at bmwmoaf.org. Who knows? We might even convince


Paul to pull the winning ticket or autograph someone’s new bike. Tickets are on sale through June 30, and proceeds benefit the Foundation’s rider safety efforts, including GEARS Training, the Paul B. Scholarship fund and Rider Performance University events at the Rally. There’s more to come, but we’ll save those


announcements for Das Rally!; it should be a great time. Hats off to Paul Thorn for lending his talents and charitable spirit to MOA members. As always, we encourage you to ride safe and with a priest or rabbi if at all possible.
