I rarely think of motorcycles without a little yearning. They are about moving, and humans, I think, yearn to move – it’s in our cells, in our desires. We quiet our babies with cyclic movement, and we quiet ourselves by going.

I wouldn't mind attending if there's still room.I'd love to figure out how to set-up the suspension on a 600 for a "big-guy".

Be polite. Be professional. But be prepared to kill everyone you meet.

2-words:
Make sure you bring a bottle of heavier fork oil, and/or different springs.

Maybe 4 words...
Heavier fork oil, stiffer springs, and pistons with wee-little holes in them for even more damping. But for sure it can be done.
Maybe that was 5?
I'm just guesstimating here.
Anyway, it's kinda funny how I sorta know the parts that are needed for a particular upgrade or change, but if it came down to actually installing them, I wouldn't have a clue.
If I'm able to make it down for Tech Day, I figure I can be helpful in the "chain cleaning and slack adjustment" seminar, as well as a little presentation I like to call "checking your tire pressure".
Oh!.. and I can help you wash the bejeezus out of your bike. Ironic, since I won't detail my own car, but hey.... bikes are smaller.

If anybody has a can of it, somebody bring kerosene. I'm seriously.
Even if I flame out on Tech Day (no pun intended), I know Scott knows where I'm going with that.

Yup...think waterproof clothing.
Yeah....at this point you aren't allowed to flame out. I'll go get a couple gallons of K gas for everyone to share. No need to bring your own.
Waterproof?! Nah, I was thinking...mmm, wet t-shirt...uh, for da guys

watching bouncer blast void with the pressure washer is going to be entertainment for all.....Waterproof?! Nah, I was thinking...mmm, wet t-shirt...uh, for da guys
In the interest of safety I'll give Void some safety glasses. I think OSHA will approve.
Better make sure you've got an extra pair of those safety glasses, sweetie. Never know when someone might get pressure washer happy...I'm just sayin'.

As you think about turning the pressure washer wand in my direction ask yourself the following question...."which person here will be holding wrenches near my bike..."
That might not necessarily be a bad thing

True, but it COULD be a bad thing. Are you sure you want to take that chance?That might not necessarily be a bad thing
Hmmm...someone's gettin' frisky...me likey frisky.

Is there an outdoor pool out near M-town? Will it be open by the 10th?

+1. We can have a little cruiser section over in the corner.
I have a vacuum brake bleeder if anyone wants me to bring it and Scott doesn't already have one. It is the manual pump type, not the fancy-schmancy one, but it works a lot better than the brake master cylinder method. LMK.
