Pre-MOOTMaG Wrench Session

Smoked U · March 20, 2013, 03:12:21 PM

I feel comfortable enough with the shape of my house to open it up to a wrench session now. This would be a venue like Greg Cothern puts on, sans pet animals. I have the tools and facility. I could provide snacks/drinks. A ride loop/lunch can be incorporated into the schedule as well.

Anyone interested in doing one the Saturday before MOOTMag (June 1, 2013)?

I am located just south of Dallas near Ovilla, Texas.

Yes, I will need to replace the sprockets and chain.
Do you have a chain breaker or should I pick one up from the dealer?

Thanks

I have lots of other things here, but not a chain breaker unless you count a dremel tool because the majority of my machines are shaft driven.

I am going to make this official and hold a wrench session here at the house on Saturday June 1, 2013. Facilities will open at 0900.

Anyone who wishes to just show up and hang around is welcome. You can just do a bike wash and wax if you wish.

When the date gets closer, I will do a head count and e mail the address to interested parties.

We used to have a Chain Breaker and a master link riveter. I think the last time I saw it was at Mr. Ruggs place......

Could you be a little more specific about the scope of work?

Decisions decisions... I was hoping to come to this wrench session but my Oklahoma Highway Patrol Saferiders class for May 4 just got cancelled. Something about a rain/snow mix in the forecast.....
The makeup class date is June 1.

Wrench session, OHP class... decisions decisions

It's not that I think I need anything done, but I do enjoy learning and assisting where possible. And it's always a good ride to get out of town

My plans are to attend, need an address so I know where to go. Do I need to bring anything?

greg_o · May 27, 2013, 06:55:11 AM

hey Dave, send me a PM with the address...I don't remember exactly your address...I don't have any work needing to be done but hope to drop by.

Smoked U · May 29, 2013, 11:11:02 PM

PMs sent.

Anybody else???

Smoked U · May 30, 2013, 01:42:30 PM

Based on the weather report for Saturday, I am going to advise any of you "out of towners" to stay home. There is supposed to be a cold front in here Saturday afternoon (late?) bringing rain. You local guys can get home in time to beat anything that pops up.

Doors will open at 0900.

If you don't have the address, let me know so I can PM it to you.

Still interested but keeping an eye on the weather. Nearly every day of work this week has ended in "weather is approaching, go home". I will probably decide Friday evening if I come down form Norman. If I do I should replace a known torn brake piston seal, and I expect to have a new chain and sprockets set... to test out that new centerstand

If only I could remember the other things I thought about doing on a recent ride from OKC-Santa Fe-Tucson-Gallup, NM-Denver-Custer, SD-SW Minnesota-OKC I would take care of those too. I just knew I should have stopped and wrote 'em all down!
