Chch Wednesday Maintenance Evenings

**phoenixgtr** · 20th April 2009, 12:50

We have the opportunity to hold basic maintenance evenings in a fully equiped workshop. We ran these for the first time last year and they we're well received. This is a good chance to learn a bit about the mechanics of bikes and the maintenance of them. If you have something specific that you need done on your bike, but don't want to tackle it yourself then bring it along. If you post up on here beforehand we can be prepared on the night.

These really are just an excuse for us to get together and have few beers (or bourbons), so we usually head to the pub afterwards.

Where: Gloucester Motor Company
Cnr Gloucester Street & Fitzgerald Avenue

When: From 6pm each Wednesday (we usually give up and head to the pub (either The Twisted Hop, Poplar Lane or the Speights Ale House, Bealey Ave) around 8pm).

A huge thanks to Wayne (Wofman) for letting us use his workshop for these!!

Like I said in the other thread can we try somewhere else this year?
Like where the beer is not so dear and we can sit inside for a change?

Second post!
Bugger that I missed out on the first one.

I don't know if I should come to these - my bike is pretty bulletproof.

**KiwiPhoenix** · 20th April 2009, 14:04

I'm definitely interested, even though I don't have a bike, would you mind if I tagged along?

**phoenixgtr** · 20th April 2009, 14:12

Lemans - make a suggestion

McWild - maybe if you were shooting it with plastic ball bearings

KiwiPhoenix - sure you can come. The more the merrier

Cheers, now just have to tell my darling fiancee!

I will be there about 6.15pm (by the time DF gets home!) and I leave..

Man I could have really done with this a week ago when I was pulling the brakes apart. Maybe I can bring it along when the last set of seals arrive in case someone hasn't seen or dealt with it before...

Well I'm open to suggestion's as well.

It's a nice place but, lets face it the prices are not cheap there.
And we stand outside in the cold.
I think there has to be a better place.
At least a place we can stand inside.

Speight's ale house in Bealey Ave does that work??

Plenty of parking, not too far from the garage, not madly over priced and for those who want a bar snack there's that as well.

works for me

Now that is a top idea.
And better than mine.
We go to Pomeroys just up the road for our RAT meetings.
Not the cheapest and parking could be a problem, if you want keep an eye on your bike.

Anywhere suits me fine!

+1 for speights ale house and twisted hop.

and responsible drinking.

**phoenixgtr** · 20th April 2009, 18:43

Hey no reason why we have to go to the same pub every week! Speights Ale House is all good

(I love how the whole conversation on this thread so far is "which pub should we go to")
