Tech Day 6/10 (please read)

[rybo]

This thread is to do two things:

1. Get a head count. Please respond to the poll above. This way I'll know how much stuff to have on hand. I'll get a bunch of burgers and stuff and can easily accomodate the veggies in the group.

2. It's a call for instructors:
There is a ton of good knowledge in this club and I don't want to dominate the whole thing, so please PM me with a topic you would like to teach about if you want to be a teacher on this day. You can perform a demonstration on your own bike, coach someone through a task etc. I'll post up a list of topics and teachers once we get closer to the event.

For starters:

Basic Suspension Set-Up (IRDave)
Washing the bejeezus out of your bike (Barn)
Basic track set-up (jplracing)
Chain Maintenance (pilot)


Place: 157 W. Hawthorne Street
Milliken CO 80543

Time: June 10th, Sunday 1:00 PM

Special Notes: This is a residential neighborhood with lots of kids. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE be respectful and careful as you arrive. If you have the need to rip around corners, do wheelies, or other such antics please get that need met before you head my way.

Washing the bejeezus out of your bike (Barn)

the Jedi Master of clean bikes.

[Hawke]

Not that I am a Jedi Master but I am good at changing the brake pads, oil and filter, coolant, and adding a power commander.

[sprtbkbabe]

What time you deciding to do this Scotty? I'm driving back with the Mini from Gunnison that morning; hope to make it up there in time

oh yeah, guess I'm the radiator flush-Masta now!

Also, let us know what to bring. Not fair for you to front the cost to feed all of us! JMO

[Clovis]

Where will this be?

Damn you Joe.....first post editied.

I am planning to be there, will bring whatever you need for food, and help out with the bikes as I can. I am happy to lend a hand wherever, but tend to be like a jack of many, master of none type of deal.
With that said, I have noticed a number of peoples bikes have a TON of slack on the throttle, or improperly set brake lever positions and such which I would be happy to help people with or something.

[konichd]

Mel,
I seem to have some *slack* in my pants, can you take a look and *tighten* that up?

Oh ya, I'll be there!

[daemon]

i plan on being there and i feel the same as most.
1. i want to gain as much info as i can from everyone
2. i don't want you to supply everything for me
3. i want to see mel's signature wave....LOL
4. i want to be cooperative in all aspects....I.E. if i can help. so be it.
5. i don't want anyone doing the work for me...i want to do it with people who point and grunt.

i have had family and friends who i have put off for this event.
i hope they understand.

[cdbouncer]

I can heckle?

[Sortarican]

Can I bring anything? (drink,food)

Also,
Have a manual tire change rig.
(Doesn't do Battleaxe tires, just ask Jeremy.)

If anyone has spoked wheels, I'm pretty good at benchtop tuning/trueing.
(Can bring the runout gauge, magnetic mount, etc.)

[daemon]

kaleb had a hell of a time with my continental's. said they were the worst tire to change....too tight.,but i like it that way!!1

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

Scoot..i plan on making it up, don't really need much done, just looking to learn something(s). I will be on the bike so i won't be able to bring much. Looking forward to meeting alot of the ppl i haven't met before.

[Shortcake]

I'm sure I'll tag along with konichd.. maybe I can be learned a thing or two. Let me know if you want us to bring anything scott!

[Fly boy]

I'm coming to eat your food and make everyone drool over the Darkside, that is all.

[Suki]

Hey scott, we have to head that way to take the little monster to summer camp, i'll talk to alan and maybe we'll stop by on the way back. we'll be caging it but it'd be nice to meet you and maybe i'll learn something other than "ALAN FIX IT!!!!"

[Sortarican]

I can bring elk and deer if anyone wants to try some.
(Or we can just have Mel run one over on the way up.)

BTW,
Who the hell is the one veg-head?

Bet it's Linda (Dana's Piezey).
Someone explain this to me please.
How the hell can you be a right-wing republican vegitarian?
I mean really, how does that work?
You spend your days lobbying to outlaw phallic shaped vegi's?
Claim that purple fruit is gay and wrong in the eyes of God?
Ban stem and seed cell therapy?

Sorry Scott, threadjack completed........
We now return you to your serious thread topic.

[Suki]

linda will kick your ass.

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

HA! Someone will have to follow in a truck...I find that I have a hard time transporting them once I have hit them.

[daemon]

[Dr. Joe Siphek]

Scott you have a PM.
