Hats off to MICAH and Bean at Crossroads HD in Wilkesboro, NC. They had a training class today on the setup and use of the HD Infotainment system.
It lasted two hours, was very informative, they had food and gave away a $100.00 gift certificate to one lucky person in the group. We have about 28 people in attendance.
I got a lot out of it. Realized that I knew more than I gave myself credit for. Learned a few new tricks and contributed as well.
They brought a new Street Glide into the customer lounge area. Parked it in front of the fireplace. Put a GOPro camera on the gas cap and connected it to the big screen television over the fireplace. Everyone could see what was going on perfectly.
Also a big thank you to Dan and the guys in Service who did my 5k service while I was in class.
Well it is simply thicker than the owners manual for the bike! My eyes cross every time I look at it. Nothing better than seeing it done and having a chance to discuss with others.
Plus a great time spent with others, food, chance to win gift card and getting the bike serviced at the same time. No brainer for me.
A two hour class to operate an infotainment system?
Thought I had heard of everything.
You won't ever find that stuff on my Dyna.
I used to have a 2010 FXDWG. Loved that bike for the look and how simple it was. Wish I still had it. I would not want the system on a Dyna either. But on my Limited it is great and makes a long cruise even more enjoyable.
They are having the class at Queen City HD, next Saturday. I plan on going, if for no other reason, to get out of the house for a few hours. Supposed to be 60°, so a bike ride is in order, as long as the rain holds off.
I just used the manual that came with the bike and found it very easy to understand and am now familiar with everything I can currently accomplish with the Boom system. However, I do understand that some folks learn better by seeing it than reading about it.
