    We will be going for a ride, just later in the day if you want to come with us.

    Not knowing how to do something and not having the the appropriate tools, are two different things.

    Didn't you just come over to my house to get help putting a PSU in your computer? I mean it's literally (4) screws.

    What time will the ride be? Or is that dependent on how many show up for the first part?

    I guess, but we both know you own virtually no tools!

    No, I went to your house to watch UFC fights and picked up that PSU on the way to your house. From what I remembered you did nothing to help me....nice try though buddy I do everything for myself. Oil changes for last 13 years on car and sportbike. I've put over 15 different mods on my car from exhaust to halo lights, to short shifters, and did it all myself with no help other than internet. It's a good feeling when you accomplish it rather than pay for it, so really just meant it may help you get more comfortable. No need in taking it the wrong way as I have no hate for you buddy....hell I may attend this class.

    Hey if someone offered up a PC class I would probably go as I have lots to learn

    I put nearly 30k miles on Britney during the years that I owned her, and I did all the oil changes myself, not to mention the fact that I had a Scott's stainless filter that I had to hand-clean, each time!

    I would say if push came to shove, I'm capable of performing typical bike maint. Developing the desire to want to do all of that stuff on your own, is going to be a bit of a longshot.

    The class will be from 9-11AM, Lunch, then ride leaves at 1PM. We will assign two riders to an experienced rider and have a sweeper. This will be a speed limit run where we do 5 mph over to work on skills, not speed. I have not decided the route yet but will probably include highway 72.

    You were present though so that's gotta count for something.

What about if they crash into a school and run over children? It's so dangerous for you to be doing this and anyone would be crazy to attend and put their life (and that of the children) in your hands.











    Feel better now?
    LOL why don't u tell us how u really feel. Lol in my opinion teaching someone how to change their oil n check tire pressure is harmless. I could teach a monkey how to do those things. I could totally see ur point if they were techin noobs how to change a rear sprocket.

    checking tire presure is a pretty important thing every rider should know how to do in any powersport. I mean u could pop ur tire, jump a curb, careen THRU a school and run over children.
