Norcal Tech-Day?

Guoseph · November 8th, 2011, 12:07 PM

How come all the socal guys get to have all the fun?

Anyone up here in the Bay Area want to get together for a tech day? I have garage space and can host, but I do not have a full set of tools required. Also not sure about what my neighbors think about a bunch of guys revving their motorcycles on the weekend, but there's a Starbucks 4 blocks away usually with Harleys in front so we can go "tune" there

And, we actually need someone who knows what they are doing to supervise

Norcal riders speak up!

a poll for the date... what a great idea!

bluepoof · November 8th, 2011, 12:44 PM

Doh, normally I'd be in but I'm out of town from Friday 11/18 until Sunday 11/27. So I'm pretty hosed for the dates.

Anyone want to check/adjust my valves and check my wheel bearings for me while I'm off on vacation?

gonna reschedule??

There wasn't a whole lot of interest based on the initial post. So I'm not sure if anyone really wants to do it?

Well, when you posted this I had the thought I could truck my bike in, try to do a valve adjustment, just so others could watch/help/give bad advice and learn from my mistakes. But what this needs is someone who actually knows what they're doing (and that would not be me). I'm a born experimentalist, not someone you want giving advice about things I've never done. I also want to pull and clean my carbs, but my confidence I could ride down, do the work, and ride back in a single day is about zero percent.

But I do have tools!

Also, where are you in the bay area? SJ to Santa Rosa is a long distance, so it matters to some...

Crap how did i miss this post?... hmmm I'd be down for a tech day. Not a whole lot I want to do to my bike besides the usual oil change and soon to be EFI conversion. We can try this again if we can figure out a good middle location.

Guoseph · December 11th, 2011, 08:58 PM

I am in Alameda, just west of Oakland in the East Bay.

My ability to host in January is probably limited though.

Yup, there's a group buy for the efi kit in the "motorcycle related" section... Check it out!

The group buy ends 12-24-11.
