Hey Desmostro, looks like we'll have to move the Paradise Loop to Sunday for this, huh?

Oh! Also, I found my cheat sheet on adjusting front suspension. If anyone wants to learn how to do this for yourself, feel free to stop by. Just bring a calculator and a notepad. I'll provide the tie-wraps and tape measure. I think Dark's got an extra front stand that may be available.

Rear suspension is much harder but and dependant on ride height so be aware of this if thats what you want to do.

I'll be coming by solely to do suspension set ups for whoever wants 'em.  [thumbsup]

You sure you don't wanna check out an ailing Brutale? It's a great puzzle right now.  ;)
If the state had not cut funding for the mental institutions, this project could never have happened.

I'll poke around in it for a bit...won't promise anything.

Good enough-we're out of ideas, which is actually a first.

I think we should have a list of who is bringing what
in terms of food, that way we can all know what is
missing and what we have. Just an Idea so we don’t
have too much of the same thing.

Good Idea!  [thumbsup]

If your plan to bring something, please post what it is, and I'll modify the 1st post accordingly.

12 pack of miller lite. I know its not "quality" but it'll do the job..

We can install your termis if you bring them.

Maybe I'll marinate some korean bbq ribs to bring over...

First:
I'll be bringing the scotch  [thumbsup].  And no, none of that blended crap - time to educate some of you blended scotch drinkers: "I'll have a scotch on the rocks please, any scotch will do as long as it's not a blend of course. Single malted. Glenlivet, Glenfiddich perhaps, maybe a Glengowry...any Glen." 

First person to post the name of the movie gets the first pour, after the wrench-day host that is.  It's an easy one.

Second:
I've got the tail chop on the menu for Saturday but I'd be a moron not to take advantage of the fact that there will be so many knowledgeable people there.  Anybody have any suggestions on things I can do to my duc?  It's an 03 620ie so from what I've read suspension modification is a no-go.  The bike's only got 1800 and change miles on it since right after Mostrobelle came with me to buy it less than a year ago I was hit-and-run by a big ass van a few months later.  I know I'm approaching the 2000 mile service which involves timing but since I can't drop off my bike the night before that's out too (but I'll be watching the timing done on other peoples' bikes intently).  So any suggestions?  It's pretty stock.  Thanks in advance.

That would be Mikey (John Favreau), ordering his scotch from the cocktail waitress in the casino, while "kickin' it old school" with Trent, from the all time classic "Swingers." [beer]

I have that movie memorized, line for line. It's actually quite disturbing. [laugh]

Man that was quick, I'll have to post trivia questions later at night from now on.
