SUMMARY:TECH TALK
DESCRIPTION:TECH TALK! \nWITH SHAWN THOMAS\, BMW BRAND AMBASSADOR  & LOUISE POWERS\, BMW BRAND EXPERT \nHosted by \nSANDIA BMW \n“What’s this button do?” \nThis—and similarly common questions asked during their long history in motorcycles—are what have driven BMW Brand Ambassador Shawn Thomas and BMW Brand Expert Louise Powers to find answers. In recent years\, BMW and other manufacturers have introduced technologies that greatly enhance the safety\, comfort\, and joy of motorcycling. But what are these technologies\, how do they work\, and how do we as riders best utilize them? \n  \nJoin us as Shawn and Louise host a presentation discussing the history\, evolution\, and function of many cutting-edge technologies available on several of today’s motorcycles. And\, if you know this duo you know the event promises to be as entertaining as it is informative! Talk one on one\, ask questions\, and enjoy an evening with the pros at SANDIA BMW\, your favorite dealership! \n  \nTHURSDAY\, MARCH 26 from 5-8pm

SUMMARY:Sandia BMW Street/ADV Extravaganza
DESCRIPTION:FEATURING THE BMW F 900 GS\nShawn Thomas – BMW Brand Ambassador\nLouise Powers – BMW Brand Expert \nWe have a fun weekend coming up at the end of May! We have Shawn Thomas BMW Brand Ambassador and Louise Powers BMW Brand Expert coming for a deep dive into the BMW Motorcycle Brand with Apparel\, Tech\, F900GS\, and Even On and Offroad Training! We will Provide an awesome lunch from Fan Tang! Event Schedule Below! \n  \n \n  \nShawn Thomas\, BMW Motorrad Brand Ambassador and Louise Powers\, BMW Motorrad Brand Expert\, have traveled a combined 40 years and 40 countries on BMW GSs. As off-road instructors they have taught more than 10\,000 people how to handle big adventure motorcycles in the wild. Shawn and Louise make it their business to entertain\, educate and inspire other riders to get out and enjoy adventure motorcycles and the adventure community the way they get to every day. \n  \n \n  \nSATURDAY\, MAY 31\nPresentations!\nSATURDAY\, 9:00AM – 10:00AM\n\nSUSPENSION: EVOLUTIONS AND MODERN TECHNOLOGY \nBOUNCY-BOUNCY! Suspension has always played a critical role in Motorcycling and—until recently—has changed very little. These days\, there are many new and interesting innovations that have allowed these components to work more intuitively and effectively for you. This presentation focuses on suspension fundamentals\, evolutions such as Auto-Leveling\, Dynamic Damping\, and Height adjustments that accommodate both taller and inseam-challenged riders. We know suspension can seem like a bit of a dark art and a bit confusing\, so Shawn and Louise aim to take you from basics to high-level knowledge in the span of one cup of coffee! \n  \nSATURDAY\, 10:00AM – 11:00 AM\n\nBRAKES: ABS\, INTEGRAL BRAKING\, USAGE ON-ROAD VS. OFF-ROAD. \nHOW DO YOU STOP THIS THING?? Brakes are (hopefully) one of the first parts of a motorcycle we learn to use. As our skills develop\, so do our braking techniques (again\, hopefully…). But what has changed in braking in recent years and how do we use these features effectively to keep our performance and safety at top levels? In this presentation we cover the beginnings of ABS Brakes\, how this technology has evolved to ABS PRO\, and what changes in Off-Road braking vs. On-Road. If you’re extra nerdy about braking like Shawn and Louise are\, stick around to learn about some of the newest technology: Partial vs. Fully-Integral Brakes\, why they exist and what they offer to you. \n  \nSATURDAY\, 11:00AM – 12:00PM\n\nF900GS and what’s new! NEW TECHNOLOGY: ASA AND ADAPTIVE VEHICLE HEIGHT CONTROL \nTHE LATEST AND GREATEST. No\, we are not speaking of Shawn Thomas and Louise Powers\, but they will take you through some of the newest technology\, how it works\, and whether it’s a good fit for you. Are you an early adopter of new technology or someone willing to try new things? Automated Shift Assist is here on the new 1300 models and is making quite a splash. But there are multiple ways to utilize this one single piece of tech and a lot to learn about how to operate it and how it functions in relation to other tech found on these bikes. Likewise\, Adaptive Vehicle Height Control is a huge win for riders everywhere – though especially with the ones who come with an abbreviated inseam. Shawn and Louise talk about how this tech works\, what to expect when riding with it\, and the bonus features it brings to the table you might not know about. \n  \nLunch Provided by Fan Tang!\n  \n \nPresentation and Discussion:\nSATURDAY\, 1:00PM – 4:00PM\n\nThe Anatomy of an Adventure Bike\, What size bike will fit your needs\, and goals? \nShawn and Louise will deep dive into the off-road segment as a whole\, from small displacement dirt bikes through large displacement Adventure bikes and everything in between. They will highlight the F900GS and what makes it different from the previous generation. \nPlease RSVP Through the Link. \n  \nRSVP\n
