Maintenance Meet-Up
Posted 03-24-2010 at 09:30 PM by Real Fast Travis
I just wanted to write a little about my Maintenance Meet-Ups.
I did a review once, but got timed out of the forum and lost it! Bummer!
So, it all started as a thought to get people together to work on their bikes, that don't have the place to do it, i.e. apartment dwellers, like me.
Then, I figured, why not have those who don't know how, but want to learn, come too? So I did. It was good!
After two events, third one in planning stages now, nothing but positive feedback from those who attend.
Guees there was really a need/want for this. I enjoy getting everyone together, meeting one another, swapping stories, checking out bikes, whatever.
I am planning on hosting on of these every month, so I hope through the Summer months evryone still comes out for it.
So far we have covered everything from lubing cables, oil change, chain maintenance, brake inspections, suspension set ups, tires, and so on.
Next meet will have bike detailing and Dyno Tune as the main themes.
Always will have the basic maintenace stuff going on too.
I will try to get a real review up after the April meet.

Looks like an awesome turn out. What's the old saying? If you build it, they will come.Posted 03-25-2010 at 06:31 PM by Gamuru

Right!Posted 03-26-2010 at 05:40 AM by Real Fast Travis - let me know if you need people to lead ride outs to these from the eastside or anything like that. I plan on attending most of these.Posted 03-30-2010 at 10:45 PM by MikieTaps

Travis, your meet-ups have absolutely been a positive contribution to the community and I'm really glad you got them going. Since I'm new to all of this, learning is what I need to do and meeting all sorts of folks has been a great by-product. I've benefited from connections made at the meet-ups a couple times already and have had a ton of fun in the process.Posted 04-06-2010 at 07:23 PM by Cyndy
