    June 10th-Tech day at Rybo's!

    There have been a lot of tech questions lately, so let's start looking at doing a tech day. My garage is huge and I have a decent set of tools so I can offer it up as space. It's pretty far for some of you, but it might just be worth the trip!

    Cathy, up north here, was looking to do this a while back too. I'm pretty handy with the general maintenance stuff. I might be able to get IRDave to show up and talk about suspension. We can cover changing coolant for track days, chaning oil, brake fluid etc. Setting chain tension and all kinds of other good stuff.

    Then we can adjourn to the patio for burgers and stuff...

    Lets start looking at dates....but if you're interested please fill out the poll above

    Thanks

    Scott

    Great idea Scott!

    If I was in CO I'd come hang out.

    Props to you for offering your space & assistance.

    I think this would be a great idea. I still don't know where Milliken is but I'll find it. (Does it appear on Colorado state maps - lol j/k)


    I would also be more than happy to bring a salad or hordevours or whateva for the "patio time".

    I'm in.
    It would be great to do this before the big track day in July too.

    Let me know if there's anything I can contribute, either to the tech session or the bbq.

    Well if you boys want to use my bike to demo how to shave a seat for midgets then I may take you up on that DK. Cause I"m not riding it until I can touch the ground. I'm funny that way...

    I heard somewhere that you're also a good cook, so you got me...um, but maybe I shoulda said you had me at TechDay...te he.

    Yeppers, count me in and since I'm really close, ask me to help out ahead of time and to stay late for clean up too. I may still be completely clueless compared to most of you guys when it comes to bikes, but I'm ready to learn and help out where ever needed...k.

    Dates? It really doesn't matter much, but not May 27. Other than that, well, wait, maybe not May 19 either, k. Other than that...anytime.

    All good by me Barn. I'll be sure to have plenty of room for used motor oil.

    Re: Gauging interest....Tech Day at Rybo's?

    Places like Checker and Autozone still take oil for recycling, right? I have a drain pan that I used for my bike, but now that I think about it, I'm not sure if it would hold an entire car's worth.

    I'll have to go check what it's capacity is.

    Anyway... I just don't have ramps or a jack or anything. Thats kinda my main problem since I'm not exactly svelte enough to fit under my car.

    Barn...I have ramps for the car if you need them.

    While this may be true, I have a feeling she's only offering up the ramps
