How/Where do you store your GS-911 ?

[StephanT]

hi all,

I'm looking for a little feedback..

where do you keep your GS-911?  ...is it on the bike at all times, in your tool kit, on a shelf in your garage, in your study in the bottom drawer somewere.. you think 

..and is it still in the box it came in?

Before the fire, mine always lived on the bike in the tool box.  I'd made a cone (truncated) shaped sleeve, to keep it from rattling in the aluminum box.

Most of the time my GS-911 is on a shelf in my garage, in it's original box. However, every time I go on a trip outside the city, I take it with me. I wrap it in half a dozen "plastic bubble bags" for some protection against vibration/moisture, and store it under the side panel of my R1200R.

I keep mine in the original box, in my tool rolling tool chest while I'm at home. When I'm on the road, I just put the box in with other electronics I take with me (laptop/camera).

Its on a shelf in my office - stored in its original box. I'd like to carry on my bike - no space though!

Mine is in my bag which goes with me most times, so it's not kept on the bike but is nearly always there when I am on it.  Particularly useful on my R100RS

Mine goes in a little briefcase with my HP Mini laptop, and a Healtech Diagnostic computer for my Suzuki race bike. Also have a series of thumb drives with repair manuals for all the various bikes we handle. All of it lives in the race trailer when traveling, and in the shop when we are at home.

I don't currently own a road bike that is GS-911-compatible, so I no longer travel with it. When I did have an R1100S, it went into the saddlebag with the Mini and cables. I used it twice on the road for my own bike, successful diagnosis/repair both times. I've used it a dozen times for other riders, and have saved a few vacations with it.

Its usually  in my garage - stored in its original box, sometimes it  comes on trips with me.

In the original box in a drawer, all nice and snug

On a shelf in my garage right now. I used to keep in my panniers on my K1300S until I traded it for a K1600GTL and S1000RR. Present GS-911 doesn't wotk with the GTL, and no storage on the S1000RR  If I plan an extended trip on the 1000, I put it in my backpack.

Cheers,

Dave.

As mine gets used daily, it's on my desk in the garage, right next to the laptop used for diagnostics.  When I'm on the bike, it's in my tank bag or in my right side top pocket ready for use.  Have been looking for a neoprene sleeve for it but have not found anything suitable yet.

The original box it came in gave up the ghost a long time ago.

I keep mine in the box it came in. It keeps it so nicely compact and protected. I do keep it in the garage with my other tools.

I keep it in the original box in the house away from the Florida humidity.   

I get it out when I service/troubleshoot our two F650s. It goes in the tankbag when we travel.

Purchased in 2008.

Mine is still in the original box, and lives in the trunk of my K1200LT. Only needed it once, but won't go anywhere without it!

Stored in original box under work bench, and on trips it is with the netbook (I don't have bluetooth) in saddle bag.
