Club Meeting - Saturday, Mar 7, at 9 am - GPS Clas...
Author Last Post
Meeting - The meeting this month will be a class on GPS navigation and routes. Tarek Ghazi, our club Ridemeister, will give a class on how to use Garmin Basecamp with your GPS device. He will also address some other cell phone apps that are useful like osmand and maps.me. This will be a 2 hour class followed by some brief club business and updates. Bring your laptops and GPSs! Come early for coffee and donuts, stay later for lunch!

Note the time! We will start early for the class. Some people like to come and socialize in the back parking lot before we move inside at 9 am. 

Silent Auction - One of our long time members passed away on Valentine's Day - Prentiss Crowe. He had some nice leather motorcycle clothing and Tarek will set up a table with a collection of items where you can bid on a paper sign up sheet. The proceeds will go to his wife who will choose a local charity. Here is a link to a PDF with some images and descriptions. 

BMW MOA Rally in Great Falls, MT - If you are planning to go to the national rally you can sign up for the email list here if you haven't already: BMW MOA Rally Planning List

Club Book Library - Someone picked up the travel book at the last meeting. I hope you have finished with it and will bring it to the meeting to share with others. 

For Your Entertainment - At the last meeting someone mentioned a Youtube channel of a young woman traveling the world on her Royal Enfield - "Itchy Boots". Her channel and followers are growing exponentially as she currently travels in South America (Bolivia now) on her way to Alaska. She mentioned in an interview that she wants to tour around the US. She will probably come through Mexico up the Baja peninsula but if she heads east I am thinking about contacting her to invite her to visit us.
