while others looked through the pre-owned bike tent (above).
While
members of the BMW Bikers of Metropolitan Washington (below)
recruited, Cindy Seay and her son Thomas (left) chatted with
Philip Surles, a member of road racing champion Nate Kern's
pit crew, who was on hand to show off Nate's S 1000 RR race
bikes. If not for knee surgery just a few days before the
open house, Nate, whom Morton's BMW sponsors, would have been
here himself.

those being recognized was Art Crow (below left), who has
catered Morton's open houses as far back as we can remember.
Oktoberfest 2010 was most likely his last event with us as
he scales back his work.
Luis
Diaz-Diaz (below right) beamed with joy as he received the
grand prize, a $500 leather BMW S 1000 RR jacket. To say he
was happy is to commit an understatement of very large proportions! |
