Damn. I take a nap and the event fills up!

This is awesome.

I think we will go with Aug 3rd.

More to come.

[daisha]

I have no tools to bring but I'll take requests (within reason) for baked goods to bring if we have it Aug 3/4!

You sure you want Jim helping? Ive only seen him wreck bikes.

[Kurlon]

If it gets you a better price per set, put me in for an order of JIS screwdrivers.

+1. If you need another guy standing around I'd love to come hang out in the back. I run a mean grill too..

[FalArAk]

Damn,this sounds cool.

I would like to learn about suspension adjustment and servicing the forks.

If anybody bails,can I be an alternate ? I promise to leave my AK at home.

[tsorfas]

ill bring the beer and captains. keep me posted on the date. i dont know any of the work and I can be no help but I can drinks and eat.

[CEO]

The Aug 3/4 weekend is better for me... the 24/25 i have to go to a bachelor party. Maybe jim can bring his bike for that one if you decide to do two since these filled up so quick!

[7UPyours]

quick question, what's a JIS screwdriver set? Im only asking cuz I have about 80lbs of tools and just wondering if I need anymore?

and out of those 80 lbs of tools, you "might" have a JIS screw driver if you've included the reversable screwdriver that comes in a Japanese bikes tool kit

[bstnsboy]

If any opening's become available I'd be in for group 2 also...Thank's Degsy

Using your check book to buy a different bike doesnt count as maintenance.

true. i guess the clipons, rearsets, brakes, radiator guard, exhaust, triples, forks, shock, quick shifter, EMpro, chain, sprockets, fairing stay, shorted sub-frame, balanced injectors, PAIR mod, keyless ignition, rectifier relocate, case covers, ignition short for the EMpro, frame sliders, spark plugs, air filter, and safety wiring just magically installed themselves from the maintenance fairy.

[Daytona440]

This is a great idea Degsy. I'll hopefully be in for it if you decide to do it again in the future

Send this maint fairy my way please...

[Degsy]

OK folks, I have a final list and I'm getting things ready in the garage.

Here's the list of attendees (not including helpers)

Jeff – IMStuner PLEASE bring Ohlins stuff to mount!! 2008-R1

RDSbusa. Will catch up basic stuff while in advanced.

Date is August 3rd!!!

Please paypal me your donation (see 1st post of thread for suggested amounts) to dasinclair@verizon.net asap. I will order the JIS screwdriver sets.

The bike lift I have will be used for the basic class. They will cycle bikes through after we facilitate the first one or two, you guys will get lots of practice with different bikes.

Jeff, are you bringing your Ohlins stuff to install? If so, we can cover the chassis stuff on your bike later in the day on the lift.

Let me know if your name isnt here and you think it should be or if you cannot make it.

Also, let me know of any dietary requirements. Otherwise, it will be steak, chicken, hot dogs etc and a big bowl of salad.
