Hey Sgt. . .I might attend, work permitting. I'm interested in learning brake-bleeding on the ABS systems, but I can lend assistance in oil changes, TB syncs and valve adjustments. Keep us posted as the date gets closer. . . .

Sorry I couldn't make it... I was riding around (in the rain) on a Range bike at the Glen Burnie, MVA - I'm in the Instructor training program.

So, got pics? How'd it go?
