Sounds like a good tech day! I had thought about going but went to see George at BUA - Rocket got new shoes and a fluids change then I ended up chatting with friends and left way later than expected - I always enjoy chatting with friends. :D

Thanks for hosting Ed! I haven't seen you and Barb in a while, hope to see you guys soon!

Sorry I missed out ... my morning totally sucked & I ended up taking my rig to George as well, which turned out to be the smart thing because my little 5-minute tail light assembly install required some minor surgery on the rear fender to get the right fit.

I didn't make it to the tech day because I was up to my elbows in repairing my final drive failure... I could have come in a cage, but by the time I got the final drive off of the bike, it made more sense to continue the repair project. My bike is back on the road, and I have learned a ton about how it works... thanks to this forum and others like it.

Hope to see you at the NEXT tech day with just something simple to do while there so I can meet and socialize with you all.

You have a couple of options...
1) Most Obvious - CHECK THE BOARDS! :D
2) Read the BTS!
3) Make sure you are signed up as a member (you are, right?!?) and ask Karen to confirm your email address. (Send note to membership@bmwbmw.org)You will get email BTS notification and mid-month reminders.

Now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

+1 :)

May I add that the dates for upcoming tech days are posted at the bottom of the locked tech day thread, so the August tech day date has been posted there for at least a couple months.

And this thread was started a couple weeks before the tech day as well. I do try to make sure people know in advance so they can plan accordingly.
