Title: Honored by Ausherman
Post by: montmil on August 03, 2012, 07:49:43 AM
Perhaps 15 seconds of fame...

...only because I was the first to respond to a Boxerwoks.com inquiry regarding GEN light and charging failure on an R65.

All the same, I did appreciate Duane's acknowledgement. The man is a BMW Airhead genius but does not suffer fools lightly.

I recall Duane from a list I was on years ago( /5 maybe)and speaking without knowledge  was something he would make you remember not to do. LOL

Slash Five and others...

Duane's site has 19 things not to do to your BMW. A "fan" added rule number 20:

Do Not ever contradict or misquote Duane on the Boxerworks Phorum...  Not if you don't like your eyebrows singed.
That's pretty much true if you haven't RTFM before asking a question.

I PM'ed the guy, screen name R65john, and invited him over to our backyard. Said he had registered some time back but was no longer shown as a member. Obviously, he was scooped up in the Great R65 Purge of 2012. He even said he couldn't find a way to register!

Another PM to him directed the R65er to the 'Help" tab. Maybe he'll show up again.
Guy said the GEN bulb was 28 years old and never a problem so why should it burn out now. [smiley=flamethrowingsmiley.gif]

OK Mongo, that's worthy of a training beer for you.  I'll shout your namesake beer for you next time we get together.

Mostly you need to give him Justin's email address.  AFAIK, that is the only way to register these days.
