Tech Day 6/10 (please read)

[McVaaahhh]

I plan on being there, anything I can bring?

[Sully]

Can I volunteer my bike for demonstration with Barn ?

P.S. What can I bring Scott ?

[daemon]

+1 on whatever i can (safely)bring!!!

[~Barn~]

Great... I'm going to be washing motorcycles all day.

All I know is if ya'll plan on a bathing your rig over at Scott's place, you'll want to bring a couple of things. If you don't have them, get them. A bike owner should have this stuff.

Towels to dry:
2 older towels that you don't plan on putting out for company work best. We'll dry from top-to-bottom, but swingarms, undertails, and fenders don't always get cleaned perfectly, so expect towel number two to get minimally dirty.

Chain lube:
Your chain is not only gonna get wet, but we're more than likely going to clean it with kerosene after your bike gets washed.

A sturdy rag and a plastic bag to store it in (unless you're gonna toss it):
Did I mention we're going to be cleaning your chain with kerosene? The rag is going to take a beating. If you keep it for future cleanings, the bag will keep it from destroying everything else in your backpack.

A couple bucks to throw Scott's way:
I'm sure his water bill does not pay itself.


This is all stuff that should fit in a tankbag or backpack, so there's no reason you can't bring it. I'll bring my wash bucket, some auto specific soap, and my wash mitt. If you have a special wash mitt you would like to use, bring it along, and we'll use it. Plus, having an extra one is never a bad idea.

Oh, and I'm not gonna do your wheels. If you wanna bring some cleaner to do them, feel free. Just takes too long to do details like that, and I don't want to constantly dirty the wash water from wheel grime.

Barn,

You rock. I'll have a pressure washer, wash soap, a mitt, a bucket and a wheel brush available for you along with some of that magical K-gas.

[McVaaahhh]

Barn,

I will be more than happy to allow you to demonstrate the proper washing technique on my scoot.


I also plan on trailering my bike up there so I can bring beer, my stands, extra wash items, beer, other tools, towels, coolers, and beer. :chug: Let me know Scott.

Oh and thanks in advance for putting this together. You are da man.

any maintenance items you need- I don't plan on supplying oil/filters/brake fluid etc
stands for your bike

I'll supply:

Not quite I think you are on the 65th or something.

[Suki]

well maybe out of the 10,000 we'll be having from now until next May, you will actually show up to one. with your beautiful smiling face and adorning smile, you will welcome me into your little pow wow of man friends, or else the skinny beanpole will be forever cast away into the basement with other ball-less men.

[jplracing]

umm I was at the first one

[Mel]

Scott: I will be bringing along several newer riders and/or technical n00bs who are not other wise on the board. We will be sure to bring sides or condiments along with, and I am still happy to help out where I can, though I am planning to ride and thus not bringing my stands, etc. IF someone is in the Highlands Ranch area and can pick up and bring my stands home that day (as I will be needing them monday) feel free to stop by. I have two spooled reads and a front triple (PitBulls).

DK: I will be happy to help you with any slack problems you may have

[mtnairlover]

I can bring left-over plates, napkins and plastic forks from my bbq. There's about 2 dozen plates, though...so don't let that deter anyone else from bringing a lil extra. I'll also bring sumpin else to chow on...haven't figured it out yet, though. Now that I've got me a spiffy new tail bag and a tank bag, I've got room to pack my stuff on the Zed...<lets out tiny "woot">

[64BonnieLass]

Mel,
I am driving up so I can take your stands in my SUV along with whatever mustard you planned on packing.

I also have 3 coolers if you need them Scott and can bring ice ice baby.

Ping me sissy! (mel that is)

I am going to tow some lawn chairs for the masses. I have at least 4 I can loan. I am also willing to make a phenomenal (sp), zesty pasta salad if that sound good to you all. (and it will come out better than the brownies I made I promise)

[Devaclis]

Terri! Can you take my stand and some tools too? Maybe even sweetie pie? She does not want to ride on the highway and I don't want to make a 3 hour tour.

[rybo]

Dana,

I have a stand for the hawk you can use.

S

[pilot]

This goes without saying, but please remember to bring "your" tool kit and owners manual that came with your bike. Wealth of handy stuff and info in there. Especially the axle wrench.

[Bat]

I'm a definite "maybe"...I know I'll be out and about on the bike. If I make it, I'll bring some more plates (I have lots) plus some chips/munchies.

accomodate the veggies

Omg, there will be vegetables there? That might be a deal breaker.

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

Let's see, item #1 won't affect me nor item #3 really. Item #4 - ummm, squirted some lube on there last weekend - that count? lol! As for item #2 - my bike is absolutely filthy dirty...then again, I kinda like her that way.

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.

I don't know, this might be a deal breaker too - you know how I like to stunt my killer ride.

[daemon]

i have the stock tool kit for my bike(carry it everywhere),but the spanner wrench was not included.
will i need to purchase one for this or will we use the old screwdriver and applied pressure trick?

can i bring my camera(s)?? i want pics of this event if at all possible.
never know if barn might show up in a bikini

i have some excess "towels",although i might warn you that i usually use old mismatched socks and disrepaired shirts and such for the cleaning of my chain.
trust me they have been washed and i will wash them again.
as far as food items.
it seems everyone wants to bring chips and dip.
what type of other items would you like?

i don't have stands for my bike.
i use jack stands and i don't plan on caging it there,so i won't want to haul them.
any further advice???

i will bring some of my favorite cleaning/wax items for all to use.

[daemon]

p.s.
barn,i'll bring some old brushes for you.
my bike is dirty in places only you could reach

[Sortarican]

... As for item #2 - my bike is absolutely filthy dirty...then again, I kinda like her that way.

I hear ya Deb,
I like my women like I like bikes......fast, dirty, and high maintenance !


Dana,
I'm riding up through Grand County (gonna stop and take a picture of the closed courthouse I'm supposed to have a hearing at) and then down into Loveland.
If Peizy doesn't ride and you feel like taking the scenic route let me know.

Scott,
I'll Bring a couple specialized tools (runout gauge, micrometers, etc.) and also some elk and deer meat (I have burger, steaks, and summer sausage).

Hey,
I also have a giant bottle (Imperial I think, like 6 liters) of red wine.
I've been waiting for a large enough gathering to use it to make a big batch of Sangria.
Might save that for the CSC BBQ though.


See ya'll Sunday.
