    I want to come! But it sounds like there will be a million people. How big is your garage?

    I'm away this weekend but would be quite happy to help next week if you'd like me to Bistard. Been around bikes a long time and know most of the basics and don't take our bikes back to the shop even when they are under warranty.

    I'll PM you my contact details.
    Cheers

    After my effort yesterday I'm feeling petty damn cocky so I'd best attend so I can be taken down a peg or two...

    I fink so... still needs the carbs to be balanced - all I did was take them off, clean them, and put them back together. Pretty str8 forward really...

    If at a weekend then a Sunday would be best for me (not this weekend though) and if during the week a Monday or Wednesday evening would be ideal.

    Sounds very interesting. Count me in. I have basic maintenance theoretical knowledge but I'm sure there are tons of stuff that I don't know and I should.

    Sometime in the weekend would be great.

    Carbs? What are they? I'm pretty sure my bike doesn't have them...

    I'm keen to attend. I have no aspirations to be a mechanic, but I figure I should at least know what to look for so I know when to take the bike into the shop.

    Hey paul,you are missing the point a little bit,what we will try & show you guys,is some basic maintenance,everyday type stuff & the correct way to do it,not pulling apart motors etc at this stage
    I am more than happy to show how to do things on either my race bike,which is ZXR400,or my R6
    I have a list of four people so far,they are
    Mrs Kendog
    Mcarle
    Freakshow
    Centaurus
    Anybody else interested send me a PM
