SPANNER EVENING--MECHANICAL TRAINING

**FROSTY:Me** · 10th May 2004, 11:07

I finally pulled finger and the basic mechanics training evening is happening.
Wendsday the 26th of May
time will be from 6.30 on.
The location is at my place,
Which is Helena st
Massey -- West Auckland.
To find the place.
From the shore
Get to westyland via Upper Harbour drive
Go over the END of the nor western motorway
Turn left at the roundabout into DON BUCK ROAD
Stay on don buck road for aprox 4 km
You will pass 2 schools and a Mobil gas station
Helena st is on your left

From south or central
On the nor western Motorway take the LINCOLN RD offramp
at the second set of lights turn right into Universal drive
stay on that road till the roundabout
Hard right at roundabout into DON BUCK RD
Don buck road goes uphill steeply and nice and twisty
Top of that hill turn right into HELENA st

I'll park the race bike and the gtr1000 out the front so ya can't miss the place
I think I have enough tools for this
An A grade mechanic has offered his services to run through this stuff
for us. He won't accept cash --Hes a biker himself. But I think its only fair we all bring along a few beers to show our apreciation.
The format will be -basic bike mechanics 101 - How to set up your bike and do the basic maintainence to keep it on the road.-From there we'll move on depending on how we go for time.
If anyone has one of those outdoor gas heaters it'll be apreciated cos its probably gonna get a bit cool .
OH yea and a guy who sells paddock stands/pit stands and work benches has loaned me a couple for the night
Please advise me if you are DEFINITELY attending
cheers guys.

Well I'm coming

Just hope my hopefully soon to be new job doesn't require me before then.

I'll be there!

Those paddock stand/pit stands, are they those things that you roll the bike onto and then they raise the bike up? I'd love to have one of them, I've got a bad back and working on my bike all weekend crouched down has left me kinda sore.
'course I'm a student so can't afford one. It'd be interesting to see how they're built though...
