April 11th, I am having a Tech day and a party after (or during).
I have invited BMWMOA members and ADV riders
Bedroll space and camping is available.
PM me for directions
I am going to have a trueing stand and my brother there, and offering my garage facilities and tools for those who want to do. It's just far enough from your house that the oil would be hot enough to change!
:ha
I will help with anything that requires one hand, I am not putting down my drink!

Dear Mr. Rapid, (if that in fact is your real name),
I must take exception and voice my great displeasure with the idea of you having a tech day during one of the holiest weekends of the year.
That's right - it's Masters weekend!
Saturday. Moving day at the Masters.
I believe it was the great golf writer, Herbert Wind Warren, who said....no wait, it was Ben Wright.....,or Ken Venturi.......or Chris Schenkel......no, he said that the great taste of beer comes in a bottle.
Anyway, somebody famous once said that you can't win the Masters on Saturday, but you can sure lose it.
And you, Mr Rapid, (if that in fact is your real name) will be working with one hand while your other hand, I'm presuming, will not be holding a mashie, niblick, or even a spoon!!!
:bottle Shame, Shame
I am deeply disturbed, somewhat abhorred, and even maybe a little bit chagrined.
Well, have fun anyway.

What time does this little soiree begin? While my bike is absolutely perfect in every way, I am always up for learning more about the inner workings of said perfect bike - or any bike for that matter. It also gives me the opportunity to stand over JohnnyB's shoulder and say, "That's not how (your name here) did it at Roy's tech day :scratch " when he' s out in the garage working on his bike.

BTW, I will have the much coveted R bike exhaust nut wrench. I'll see if I can get some carb sticks and some other BMW appropriate tools. Thoroughbred Cycles is a skip away for those who want parts, and I am sure we can make a parts run.
Brian and I will be there.
Hotspice --- Are you coming too? I would like your assistance getting the GS wired with the cool gizmo-electronics wiring plate that you gave me.
Master Roy --- what would you like from the Beemer Hill supply coffers? Chafing Dishes? Nesco?
I'll bring "whatever" in next week sometime and drop them off on my way home from work. Let me know.

:clapThank you, that is very kind of you. MOA ambassadors? Now this party has cred! I think we have a Nesco, but I am not sure if I will need it. I was sorta planning a summer menu with Brats, Burgers, Italians, and Hungarians, since I have no idea who is showing up. It might be a good idea to keep all that warm though, I will check. I was going to buy much Spotted Cow, Fat Squirrel and even some Bitter Woman, and, of course, Tequila!

Great tech day and delicious food.
I had a mind to come up with some snappy captions for my photos but . . . maybe you can do your own?

It was cool to meet some new people, see old friends again and check out some really cool bikes!
See you all down the road!

Hotspice posted some at ADV too. Action shots.
I love the Internet for it's ability to tell that everybody made it home ok.
I hope nobody was hungry.

Thank you guys for checking in and letting us know you are home safe.
Roy, heard from Jeff and Shelly?
What a great weekend, I truly enjoyed to the dregs.
Thank you all!!!!!
Thanks for the Tune Up clinic, Roy. It appears that at least a couple of people got tuned up. :D
The new electronics on my GS make me happy, happy! And Brian fixed the Throttle Cable when he got home, so all is well on Beemer Hill.
What a great time. Can't wait for next year.

We thought about that after the bike stalled at the stop sign :doh . Glad to hear it's running like a top again.
Thanks again for opening up your house to us Roy. Twas good to see old friends and meet some new ones.
So when's the next one? :stick

Another one?! Do you know how hard it was to set up that motocross track for the minibike in the front yard?:laugh
I should thank everybody for everything they brought, from Beer to food to (unnecessary) cash donations. You all are what made the party a success.
I think it was a success anyway.

OK; one done. Cannot thank you enough for being a fine host, Roy. :clap
I'm kinda' puzzled, though. I mean, when the Airheads have a Tech Day, there's at least a gearbox off and odds are, somebody's engine's apart. Seems like I was the only one with a bike apart. :blush At least until Randy & the guys cleared that electro-rat's nest outta Sue's GS ... :stick

Even in Northfield, sometimes people run in opposite universes.
Klay and I have met before, just never had the opportunity to mess 'round!

Or you can make a donation to Yuasa. Except they don't need it.

Just retired a Yu(sed up) 9 amp from the ET4.
Probably a fine battery but was an amp below what the scoot wants.
Popped a Cycle-Tron 12 amp in and the "Blue Wasp" (get it? blue "wasp"? maybe no one? nevermind) is running better than ever.

I hugged Sue and did not impale her on a camera this time. :clap
I cleaned up a bunch of beer bottles in the garage. You people are very messy.
No more beer for you! Come back one year![/beer nazi]
By then, we should be done with all the beer I found left over.
