Can you add me to the list for lunch, and if my wife tags along she will be visiting our daughter over in Clintonville.

I was planning on showing up at 11:59, eating lunch, taking a little nap, then maybe...just maybe...turning a wrench or two, then leaving. :sleep: (But not til I ate some free dinner!)


Of course I'll be helping, man! I know you think I'm a bum...but I'm gonna prove y'ALL wrong. :D

We have 8 attendees confirmed so far, with 2 others (Mark and Jennifer Kinney) tentative, and 1 other (J. Floyd Gilless) "double-secret" tentative.

Looks like only 1 person was thinking of staying for dinner. If that's still the case when the 17th rolls around we'll pack you a snack for the road! :D

Of course more folks are welcome. Just "register" here so we can plan accordingly.

Howard-
Looks like I will make the trip. I would like to do a cannisterotomy if possible. If I need to bring anything for this item... let me know. I read the directions and it looks like the hardest part is getting the top case off.

Hey Howard

I just ordered a set of MickOPegs (back ordered) and some ebcs for the rear. If they get here before the session I will put them on at home, if not I would like to bring them along for an install? Would that be OK?

We were planning on making this trip, but since all the kids will be out of town - the primary reason for the trip - we aren't going to be able to attend. Besides, I got a front tire and brakes to replace next weekend.

You all have fun and maybe another time.

[lurch102]

It's appearing more and more like I'll be stuck out here in Phoenix over the weekend and won't be able to make it.

Count me out and if, by some miracle I can make it, I'll bring my own peanut butter and jelly.

Thanks again for the invite and hope you all have a fun, safe, informative weekend.

All the best

[messenger13]

So...the million dollar question is:
Do I still bring my LT to change out the shocks, or do I bring the new GT and let you dirty, rotten scoundrels put your grimey little mitts all over it?!

[glenhinegardner]

Hey Joe are you still going to change the shock even though you plan on selling it?

And I have a question for our host, What is the start time for this event?

I got my rear brake pads today, can we squeeze them in on Sat.

Thanks

... or whenever you get here. First guys on site get their work done first! Coffee and donuts available for you earlier travelers. Lunch at noon.

Yes, bring your brake pads. I'm installing (OK, watching) EBCs on my rear brakes also... and a CQ HID low-beam... and maybe a 12k service... rotate the valve stems... flush/fill the flux capacitor...

[messenger13]

Hey Joe are you still going to change the shock even though you plan on selling it?That is exactly the question I'm in the middle of pontificating. It's very hard for me to work on a bike that I'm selling. Then again, it might be a good selling feature.

[messenger13]

Yes, bring your brake pads. I'm installing (OK, watching) EBCs on my rear brakes also... and a CQ HID low-beam... and maybe a 12k service... rotate the valve stems... flush/fill the flux capacitor...I'm bringing an unopened bottle of LT OEM blinker fluid. First 4 bikes gets a free flush/fill!

Sold by the 4-pack, so somebody's gotta hafta help me out. Then again, it'll be a long day, so 4 might be on order. :) http://techhelpers.net/e4u/drink/trink38.gif

Then again, it'll be a long day, so 4 might be on order.Is it considered bad form for a host to disallow adult beverages at a Tech Session, knowing you're going to be riding afterwards? I won't be serving any... not because we don't drink but because we don't want any drinking followed by riding. I wouldn't want to be responsible (in the moral, not the legal, sense) for a guest getting clobbered on the road after leaving our event.

This has me thinking, having just posted several replies regarding the Pittsburgh quarterback whats-his-name and his lack of helmet while riding. I can't come down on the side of personal responsibility on that issue, and not on this one; it doesn't seem consistent.

I don't smoke, but I won't stop you from smoking as long as you do it outside the building and police your butts. I don't drink beer and I don't mind if you do, but I'm thinking not at a Tech Session I sponsor. I'm hoping this does not come across as "it's my ball and I'm going home"; it's more serious than that.

That said, what do you think? Am I overreacting? If any of you guys are dead-set on having a few beers at the Tech Session please reconsider. If it was an overnight event it would be different. Maybe this is a sacrilege. I'm open to your comments...

[messenger13]

I believe when in Rome... (In other words, I could care less either way.)

If I was to consume some Guinness...it would be several hours before I saddled up to ride off.

I have no problem with you setting the guidelines on this one.

Right answer. At least, the one I was hoping we could agree on. If other attendees have a problem we'll have to address it. Shouldn't be an issue.

[glenhinegardner]

Howard, my deepest appoligies, considering I neither smoke nor drink I agree with you completely on drinking and driving or riding. My thought on bringing Joe a beverage of his choice was a token of my appriciation for his efforts at the session. And from a previous post that I read elsewhere on this site.

How about if I gift wrap it and he can savor it at his humble abode? or maybe christen his new GT.

Let me know!

Thanks
Glen

GlenGlen, no apology is necessary. You're welcome to bring Joe a gift (let's not spoil him, though, OK...? :D ) of his favorite beer, cigarette, farkle... whatever. We understand the spirit in which it's intended. And it's a classy move on your part. Just wait until you see what I have waiting for him to do on my bike!

I think today's new helmet-related threads got me to thinking that I couldn't feel right about (a) serving alcohol (which wasn't going to happen anyway) or (b) "letting" others have a few and then go riding. I'm sure none of the attendees had that in mind but it was on my mind.

"Christen his new GT"? As in smashing a bottle against the front of the bike? Yeah, let's do that. You first! :D

Its a Nazi move, hey you asked.
These folks are old enough to make up their own minds.
If you did not drink and it was a moral issue, I could see that and agree.
To come over with this after the thing has been in the works for a month seems like BullShit!
I don't drink or smoke myself, but not for moral reasons just for my health.

RockSo Rock, how do you really feel? :D
Not sure what a "Nazi move" is, but it doesn't sound like something positive.
You are correct, I did ask.

I've learned a couple of things during the time between when this Tech Session was first announced and as the day draws near. One of those things would be to post any "rules" up front. That way all involved can make an informed decision. I do recall posting a request about smoking on the premises, early on in this thread (smoking is OK just don't do it inside the building).

No doubt everyone there is more than old enough to make their own choices, I just don't want to be a part of (by serving as host) any bad ones. Whether or not I am in a position to do that -- by hosting -- can be argued. I think we've beaten this horse enough that those who read this thread may be wondering "whassup?", and I don't see it as any real issue. The only person who mentioned enjoying a cold one is Joe, and he's OK with taking his gift home.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and everyone else on Saturday.

[Rush1517]

Sorry guys but I will not be able to make it. I just bought one of my dream bikes (2003 Honda Magna - Candy Blue) in Atlanta and I'm flying there on Saturday to pick it up. I really needed to make it so I could get my HID kit installed, but I'm sure you guys understand.

Joe - We will have to hook up soon. It's killing me to have the kit just sitting there.

I found the Magna today. It was bought brand new in 2005 and then the guy had a baby. It only has 335 miles on it... The oil has never been changed yet. I've wanted a Magna for a long time, and they only made it in that color in 2003. My wife said if I could find one I could get it for my birthday. I just love the V4 engines and the sound is awesome... I can't wait.

Sorry again guys.

[messenger13]

I came off of SEVEN Honda V4s . . . I get it. :) Of course, mine were 1100s. :p

Darn, wouldn't ya know it! Now that I am "Up North" there doesn't seem to be as many tech sessions and I just had hernia surgery on Monday. I'll be out of commission for this one, maybe I'll be able to make the next one...that is if ya'll don't mind an RT infiltrating ya'll...:D

As of next Tuesday, I'm a GT rider. http://www.bmwmoa.org/forum/images/smilies/dance.gif So...there will be at least one GT and one RT at the next session. And if those LT'ers don't like it . . .

RockIf somebody wants to donate a GPS as the Grand Door Prize I'll be happy to figure out the coordinates then post them. :rolleyes:

US 22 intersects St RT 664 at Rushville. Turn right (north) onto St Rt 664; go through Rushville (1 traffic light); from US 22 and St Rt 664, it's 1.8 miles to Bope Rd; turn left. Bope Rd. dead ends < 1 mile onto Gun Barrel Rd; turn left. We are the 3rd house on the right, counting the house right at the intersection of Bope Rd. and Gun Barrel Rd.

NEW INFO FOR ATTENDEES (sorry, at the last minute my Alzheimer's has cleared up): skip the gravel drive to the house and go 50 yards down the road to the gravel drive which leads to the building where the event is. You'll see some pennants at the gravel drive on the right, and BMW flag on the building. That's the place. Watch the gravel; it's solid until you get near the building then it gets kind of squirrely. Drive right onto the concrete.
