MOB Wrench Day
August 2nd, 10:00am

This will be taking place @ my place in San Bruno.  For those that have not been here before, request for my address via PM.

If there is something you want to get done: get your parts, and tools together. 

If you will be doing work that will require a special tool or stand, now will be a good time to get it, borrow it, or ask if any of us have/can bring one. 
Let me know if you need to drop off you bike/parts/tools in advance.

If you have any questions about what kind of work will be possible/tools needed at this event, just ask.

There will be some knowledgeable people present to help out, so noobs are welcome also.

Auto parts stores, a Moto shop, and hardware stores are about a mile or 2 away if needed.

If you don't need to do anything to the bike, but just want to help/watch/learn/hang-out, that is fine too.

Last time I hosted a wrench day, food and drink was an issue (I eat out most of the time).  If people want to help pitch in, we can fire up the BBQ.  FYI:  I suck at cooking

TCK!

Should be a good day, too bad I won't have a free weekend until the 16 of August... :( Looks like I'll be doing lots of wrenching by myself

I will be in. i suspect I may not need any work on the bikes, but I'll be there to help.



If all goes well, I'll be there on the Kawasaki  ;D

I need to do valves on both bikes, but am busy that weekend... maybe another time.  I get grouchy when I do valves--not so much fun to be around anyways.   [cheeky]

Hmm..good timing. I've got a lot of things I could use help with. Count me in for some brake bleeds, I've got a 15k valve adjust coming up but I'll take care of that at a different time. I'll do the standard chain tension, brakebleeds, clutch bleed, etc..

remy

I might be there to watch. I have a 15K coming up but this is probably a month early for it. I definitely have a lot I can/should learn.

Juan

I should be able to make it this time again.. Thanks !!   [thumbsup]

b.

i might have to come into the office that day, but if i'm free i'd love to meet you guys and try and impart some of your wisdom, if that's alright... :)

If I can get someone to help me out with holding the valve in place, I'll do my valves on the front (horizontal) cylinder. I'll be putting in MBP collets too if anyone is interested. You guys can get a feel for what its like to measure choser shims and check for binding, blah blah blah.

Desmostro

mebe I can help BBQ as well. I like food  [bacon] on fire.  [thumbsup]

Hey! I'm IN.  I would love to see you guys working on some bikes.  I would like to learn.  I don't need anything done on the bikes but I can help cooking or something.

I'll send you a message asking for your address.
