I recall the start time as 8AM -- Jim can correct as needed.
I'm sure if you show up too early, you will be put to good use, such as keeping the coffee flowing ;)

Correct. Come early if you have a lot to do, and you can have coffee and bagels.

Spent the day cleaning up the garage for the tech day. Looked like this to start:

Then I moved nearly everything out:

Stripped and first coats of sealer:

Lastly, done and with polish:

Almost ready for the tech day!

Hi! I've been a member of BMWBMW for almost two years now, but am new to the forum. I was wondering if you or a fellow member assists with stator replacements.

I've got an '09 F650GS. I read about the work around on AVRider. While I know it's probably too late to order the necessary parts, but I was hoping I could meet someone that could help me with this issue, instead of having to buy the OEM part through the dealer. Any help would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just pointing me in the right direction. Thanks!

Hi Jim

I would like to install new rear brake pads on my 2009 R1200GS, I will have everything needed to do the job, just my first time doing it.

See you there,

There is a very good chance an experienced F650 guy will be here. If not, I am confident we can work it out.

Took this:

And put it here for the tech day:

Also, NoVA Rider brought over an extra lift, and a pop-up tent, so we are good to go!
