Rebuild Friday night? Date? Anyone keen?

[barty5]

So question has been asked if another rebuild night can be done so there it is anyone keen.???

[flyingcr250]

bummer, we could have all done my van lol

[krad_nz]

Yeah mate keen to come along at watch/help/get in the way of a four stroke top end/head rebuild.

[2fitty]

keen as mustard, (whatever that means)

[krad_nz]

Oh, and service some inverted forks.
Should have paid more attention last time, but was having too much fun on the mini bikes :P

[Reckless]

yeh I'm keen mate haven't seen you for ages be good to catch up an have a few beers!

[SpikedPunch]

Someone invite Hemi....to man the BBQ :p

[barty5]

thats just mandatory

[Rupe]

Yeah mate keen to come along at watch/help/get in the way of a four stroke top end/head rebuild.

why, what are you thinking??

[krad_nz]

No reason... :shifty:
Good to know about the 'other side'. Who knows, I might even get one one day.
Actually I'm pretty sure I could do one with a manual and some time, but aint nothing like seeing it done in person. Helps avoid silly mistakes. Talk is cheap though :)

I remember Aaron doing his 450 last time. Wasn't paying attention though, as I was watching the 2/ rebuild.

[tnarg]

I still haven't got around to doing mine yet. Got more time and money now so I would be keen.

[Jinxycat]

i would be keen as but ill be heading up to the farm.

[Reckless]

i would be keen as but ill be heading up to the farm.

I don't think he meant this Friday Jinx which is why he asked DATE? Cya at the farm sat morning!

[barty5]

Date is to be decided yet but can be any 2nd Friday from next Friday as i have my kids over every other weekend so cant stay back on those Fridays

[Jinxycat]

cool, im in, any fri good for me (except this one) ill go with the flow, love to learn

[morg_nz]

Man something like this would be awesome in the manawatu! I've probably gotta rebuild my bike in the next 20 - 30 hours (or possibly sooner if I go looking for more power), which will be my first rebuild. Im confident that I can get it done, but knowing my luck (see previous clutch problems) the little thing will get me stuck - having a group of people together would make it go a shit load quicker, and be good to learn from your/others mistakes - especially looking at the different bits of other makes/models engines etc

[Meatbomb]

id be keen , mostly done cars... so bikes would be interesting

[barty5]

Ok so at this point i know its a while away but thinking of friday the 21 next month??????? thoughts

[SpikedPunch]

Sounds cool to me, so who's bringing their bike/s?:)

[tnarg]

I might be in Wellington that date. Still to be confirmed though.

[K6K]

Don't need to do my bike but happy to help out others...I have done a couple of 4 stroke rebuilds on my previous bikes.

[Reckless]

Ok so at this point i know its a while away but thinking of friday the 21 next month??????? thoughts

Sounds good mate you can train me up on 4 smokers! Valve timing confuses the hell outa me LOL!!

[B0000M]

Sounds good mate you can train me up on 4 smokers! Valve timing confuses the hell outa me LOL!!

you'll learn all about them, and then you'll go home thinking "whats the point, all these extra parts for less power and more weight"

[2fitty]

yeah sounds good, the sooner the better for me. but no dramas, i can wait

I'd pop in to sink a few and meet some other like minded souls. My bikes aren't in any need of work but I've no problem giving a few pointers here and there if needed. Done my fair share of rebuilds.
