Let us try this again .....
WInter is knocking on our doors and based off some sidebar conversations held at this months club meeting. We definitely are in need of a tech Day. I was able to use my beltway charm (again) and get the bosses buy-in for a Tech Day in November. And from working across the aisle with my colleagues I was able to talk the board of directors into holding the club meeting at the Stroud Manor too.
Just so you know: I have most basic tools, and tools specific for my 2015 GSA, I have basic wiring tools for fixing stuff to include a soldering iron. I do have a manual wheel balance stand if you would like to manually change a tire or two. To include the required adapter for the r1200gsa back tire. I have two each torque wrenches for those that are OCD like myself. I will have a 5-gallon container so I can recycle used oil. I ask that you take the used tires with you as I have not figured where to properly dispose of them yet.

Thank you Dave and Carol for hosting the Tech Day and Club meeting. Great food and great company, and it was nice meeting some new riders!
And hello again to Phil and Karen.

A big thank you to you Dave and your wife Carol for your generous hospitality, wonderful food, and opening up your home and garage for a Tech Day and Club meeting!
I always learn something by attending our BMWBMW Tech Day's even if I don't work on my bike at the event. Some of you saw me scratching my head about the white box with 3 horizontally lined up dots on my TFT display that I could not explain or find any mention of in the user's manual for my '18 GSA. I took a picture of the screen and texted it to Drew Alexander at Bob's BMW and he sent me the answer and I received a call form their service department explaining what it was referring to. If I understand it correctly, when I paired my Iphone to the bike and had the Navigator GPS on, the display is the speed limit of the road. Since the bike was not moving and not on a public road the box just had the 3 horizontal dots. I unpaired the Iphone on the way home so will need to confirm all of this the next time I get back out on the bike.
