January 30 - Feb 1, 2009 Pennsylvania Airhead SuperTech (PA)
The Pennsylvania Airheads will hold our SuperTech event again this winter in Boyertown, PA 19525 (about 50 miles northwest of Philadelphia, PA). The best ever. This will be a weekend filled with airhead tech sessions and multi-media expert advice and experience as well as some great camaraderie. Training sessions will cover how airhead systems and components work, how to maintain and overhaul them, how to get out of trouble on the side of the road and how to keep these great bikes safe and reliable. Sessions will mostly focus on the 'later' airheads from /5 through end of production. We will have our complete collection of component cutaways and demonstration units as well as some new cutaways and new session topics for 2009. Things you've never seen before.
The very special guest, and keynote speaker at the Saturday night banquet, will be the world renowned technical expert on all beemer things: Paul Glaves. You all know of Paul's years of support to the BMW MOA Owners News thru his tech articles as well as his countless tech seminars at MOA Nationals and his support to lists and on-line sites like the MOA Airheads Forum. Paul holds a wealth of knowledge of BMW motorcycles that is unparalleled. He will bring his experience, his wisdom and his history with BMWs to Boyertown this year. We are excited for the opportunity to learn from him and to get to know him.
We will gather for lies and tire kicking on Friday night for those arriving early and the tech sessions will begin at 8:00am on Saturday morning, running all day. Training sessions will cover how systems and components work, how to maintain and overhaul them, how to "git out of trouble on the side of the road" and how to keep these great bikes safe and reliable. Sessions will focus mainly on the 'later' airheads from /5 through end of production. All the famous cut-away and demo stuff will be there. We'll bring in lunch and finish the day around 5pm. The banquet dinner that evening will start around 6:00 for more tire kicking time with Paul and the other instructors, then dinner and Paul's fascinating presentation.
Sessions will begin again Sunday morning and activities will conclude by noon so everyone will be able to travel home that afternoon. This will be a unique opportunity to get valuable maintenance, trouble shooting and restoration knowledge and to defeat the winter doldrums and PMS (Parked Motorcycle Syndrome). Great info, great camaraderie and great time with world famous airhead experts.
Our goal is to maximize the value to those attending so only 60 student slots are available for SuperTech. Attendance is on a pre-registration basis only. Fees will be: $105 for Airheads Beemer Club members for the weekend and $125 for non-members. Fee includes all tech sessions, coffee and donuts each morning and Saturday lunch and dinner.
Limited seating is available for spouses at the banquet for an additional $35 per head. (A very nice affair and there are many things for spouses to do while you are at the Tech sessions). In past years we have had numerous spouses join us Saturday evening. Registration opens December 1st, 2008. Send a check for the total amount to Bob Sipp at 2188 Johnston Ave, Bethlehem, PA 18015. Please include, typed on a separate sheet, your name, address, phone number, email address and ABC membership number to facilitate contacting you with further details. Bob can be reached at

if needed but only received checks will count. It's only fair to everyone. Once the max student number is reached we will hold further checks on a standby list and return them after the weekend has completed. We have always gone to the standby list so its worth the wait.
We will be supplying further details regarding motel and airport info, maps, schedules and driving directions to students after they register. Please do not drag your feet on this one. This event has sold out quickly in past years and slots may again fill up fast. We look forward to seeing you there and having a great weekend together.
