First off a great big thank you to ken and crissy for hosting. Once again you guys provided a great time for us all. You guys are very generous and the best hosts. Again it was a great day, lots of fum, lots of bikes. Big thanks to my boy dustin for helping take all the excess crap off my bike to get it track ready. Ken for the help on the brakes. I cant wait for the next one as i always have a blast at these.

I was at that dealership and saw that bike, it really is Kevin's twin! I wanted to buy it just to mess with him

It's missing the raccoon/thief patches.

Did anyone new show up today? Did you guys even bother doing a 2nd day of Tech Day?

Hopefully a motorcycle shop may be open where you can purchase bolts/washers or you might have to put the stock line back. Let us know how it works out.

PS Kevin, I think Max purposely disabled his bike so he can ride pillion with you...

Don't tell Kevin, he wont ride with me anymore!

We purchased a brake bleeding kit this morning and used that. The brakes were fine once we hooked that it, it literally took no more than 5 minutes to finish them...

Brakes felt slightly less firm by the time I got home (150 miles later) so I'll see how they're feeling tomorrow. Thanks so much to Cuong and Alex for your help with my bike as well as Dustin, Kevin, and Ken. You were all so awesome for helping the *still* noob out. I swear I'm learning!

Ken and Crissy were the greatest hosts and provided the perfect and most productive tech day. The food was amazing and the hospitality was even better. I'm already looking forward to our next meet. It was great seeing everybody again, next time we need to ride!

Phone pics are coming!

just watch out, that's Wheels in Motion, there are famous (or notorious, up to you) for buying wrecked bikes, fixiing them up, and selling it back to the public.

Now they claim to have straighten the frame and forks and such, and the price surely reflects it, so use your own digression.

Kevin2109 · October 24th, 2011, 01:55 AM

This weekend was wonderful

Ken and crissy are amazing people! Thanks mom and dad

(inside joke) You guys are the best, thank you so much for lending your house, garage, tools, and food to us. I truly had a wonderful weekend

Bleeding the brakes again and again really helped a lot, there very responsive now

Throttle mod is crazy as hell, kinda makes low speed maneuvering tricky but its made life a lot better. Thanks everyone who helped my retarded ass with my bike, especially Alex and Cuong

Pics up soon

ManyCavies · October 24th, 2011, 09:24 AM

It sure was a busy weekend! Had a great time, you are all wonderful and love the way everyone helps each other out! Was nice to see old friends and meet new ones. Emily and Robert made it later in the day Sunday and we were able to fix a few things on their bike as well, thanks to whoever left a clutch lever they sure needed it. Pics will come later as we are playing host to Kens Mom today!
Looking forward to the next one.

Kevin2109 · October 24th, 2011, 05:09 PM

Did anyone end up with a allen wrench set? I cant find mine anywhere

No prob. I got free shorty levers so it was only right that I give away the stock levers.

@Kevin2109, why do you always lose sh*t at these Tech Days?

P.S: No, I didn't take anything, except the shorty levers Gurk gave me. Thanks again to Gurk, btw. You should've came out!

alex.s · October 25th, 2011, 03:11 PM

Grr. you sneakily got video of me riding squid.

Cuongism · October 25th, 2011, 04:57 PM

Anyone else creeped out Kevin had a hidden camera setup of a bunch of men sweating? This is something I expect from Max

Havok · October 25th, 2011, 05:25 PM

that was cool, how long was that taken over.

Trailerboy531 · October 25th, 2011, 05:30 PM

God dammit i can't get away from it

Lil_Green_Demon · October 25th, 2011, 06:28 PM

Nice vid! The motion reminds me of the King of the Hill theme song.

Cazper · October 25th, 2011, 08:47 PM

Well I definitely had no idea the video was going... at least I looked busy for a good portion of it helping Jeff out...lol.

Yeah, I'm a little creeped out though

Meltoff · October 27th, 2011, 08:56 AM

Looks like you guys got a lot done! I need to find a way to make it down there for the next time as my back log list of projects is getting long and I'de love to meet you all.

Bassman · November 1st, 2011, 02:08 PM
