Since any opportunity or reason to ride and gather in the name of BMW is usually a good idea, I thought I would post this event in hopes of meeting other BMW owners in Northwest/Northern Michigan area.... regardless of make and model.



The second annual “Central Michigan Tech Daze” will take place on Saturday May 10, 2008 in Cadillac, Michigan.

We will be doing all basic Oilhead maintenance tasks… Fluid changes, Valve adjustment including rocker end play adjustment, Throttle body sync, Clutch adjustment and Tire changing. If there is anything specific you would like to do, just post it.
We will have The BMW Factory manual, Clymer Manual, Haynes Manual, and most all necessary tools on hand such as wrenches, sockets, torx bits, T handle allen wrenches, Torque wrenches, Twinmax, HF tire changer equipped with “Mojo Blocks” and the world famous “Mojo Lever,” Air compressor, drain pans, rags, large hammer (for the stubborn parts), etc, etc.

Coffee, sweet rolls, lunch and non alcoholic beverages will be provided.
Now…who wants to help with the mentoring?
Please PM me if you can help out.


DIRECTIONS TO THE TECH DAZE
US 131 exit 183 Boon Road. West on Boon Rd 2 miles to Walker Road north 1/10th mile. Fastenal is on the corner of Boon and Walker. There will be a large BMW logo Tech Daze sign for your added convenience on the corner as well.
If coming from M-115, Walker Road is 2.7 Miles east of M-115 on Boon Rd.
The doors will be open at 8:30 and the coffee will be ready!

NOTE: in doing a search for the above location for my GPS I found there is no reference to a "Walker Road" in Google maps or mapquest, etc. I called the Fastenal Store in Cadillac and confirmed that if you find them (7547 Boon Rd. Cadillac, MI 49601) you will also find the tech daze location too (nearby).

Hope to see and meet some of you Michigan riders there!!!

Wish I could make it, Joe, but will be working all weekend. I've got a growing list of maintenance/installation items I need to get to but can't seem to find any time to work on them.

BTW, it was nice to meet you guys in Holland, I'm still planning on taking my fiancée to Baldwin next weekend, it'll be her 1st time there. Maybe see you again.

God bless,
Rick

sorry u cant make it but i sure understand about not having time to do "stuff"!
And yes it was nice meeting you- hope to find you in Baldwin too.
For THAT event I will prolly be on my 1999 Triumph Adventurer- so, be on the look-out for a black/silver Triumph! With the high majority of HD's from the dark side there, any other make kinda sticks out. lol

Ride safe,

Joe & Lori
