Austin, TX tech day.

[Fred]

I'd been making rumbling sounds about this a while back, and I want to gauge interest.

Would forum members be interested in getting together at my house for a technical session?

The idea is that we put a bike up on the lift in my garage and learn about it. This would be a time to do TB synchs, oil changes, brake bleeding, etc.

After working on the bikes, grilled dead animals and beer would be consumed.

The BMW airheads group does this sort of thing a lot, and it seems to work well. The goal is to educate, as well as to let some owners take care of repair or maintainance that they don't have the tools or skills to handle themselves.

I'm thinking that this would happen sometime after June 1.

Who's interested?
What would you like to learn at a tech day?
What can you teach at a tech day?

wow, I wish I were closer as this is a great idea. I think, depending on the mechanical aptitude of the group, that this would be good to do in steps. As in, start off with general maintenence and move up to more complicated themes. You guys could do a video of all this stuff as I am sure it would be greatly appreciated in the "how to" forum
I am sure that it would be "sticky" material. Awesome of you to offer this!

I would like to do one of these , but I will most likely be working when it goes down.

I am down for this as well. Seems like a great way to meet fellow riders while working on a common interest.
