Another Auckland spanner evening.

[Antallica]

Yes, that we do need. ALso my mates Fixxer is rather fuxx0red in the fork seal region.

Have a perfect machine to work on

[Cajun]

I need to learn how to do those things

I can help ya with some of these down this way if ya want NC30

[T.I.E]

lookin for simple things that can go wrong out on the road, best DIY stuff,

puncture repair kits,and how to repair,

chain problems, trying to adjust the chain properly,

simple electrical, sparks plugs what kinds there are what they can do. replacing bulbs

tyre pressures and types, and what all the little numbers on them mean. age, type, speed rating etc.

water in fuel tanks,

adjusting headlights,

spring suspension adjustments on different bikes.

simple things we can do at a look to make sure we all have a safe ride.
some of this stuff is simple for me but others might not know. and some of these i don't know.

Has anyone got a video camera with firewire output as well? perhaps we can record it to make a "spanner" video series

[Wonko]

Fork seals would be good, as well as steering bearings *hint * hint* my bike can demo

[Hoon]

You'd be hard pressed to do fork seals for the first time in one night. You'd have to pull the forks off the bike first and bring them along rather than risk your bike being in a millions pieces and unrideable at the end of the night.

I'm more than happy to come along and assist if its on a Mon,Weds or 2nd Thurs.

Kerry at Motohaus has offered us the use of his workshop to hold another spanner evening.
This one will be going to the next step in maintainence i think.
I'm thinking It'll probably be more hands on.
Im floating ideas here people but im thinking probably itll cover brake pad changing. Brake bleeding. Oil and filter changing,chain replacement and stuff like that.
No date set at this stage -But please give me feedback and indication of interest -(bugger I sound like a pompous git again )

Definately keen on this,

Have been spending more money on my bike lately and haven't been able to afford to take it out

Very sorry state of affairs.

[R6_kid:Me]

im keen

last time was good.

Cover anything really, but as i was at the first one i would probably get more out of it if it was a 'step up' from last time.

[vifferman]

My bike donot go. I wuld like some help to fix it but how doI get it there to fix if it donot go.?

Who the fuck told you I'm a nice guy smartarse?
No raisins in the Pajero Goathead,they take too long to biodegrade.

[Dr Bob]

I hereby register my interest in attendance, subject of course to the specification of temporal locale.

I have a ute too, so if anyone has a nogoer that is to be the subject of enquiry then I can facilitate transportation.

Ooh - nice comeback, BadMotu!
Perhaps a tad over-zealous, given the suspicions that you and GoatFood are one and the same person.
Maybe that would explain why you seem to have no compunctions about being rude to Mr Food....

[FROSTY:Me]

with this amount of interest Il be talkin to kerry - Ill see if we can organise a date---like soon

[El Dopa]

Howsabout continuing on from what was covered last time?

At the last session we covered basic stuff: checking chain tension, checking the wheels were roughly aligned, checking the brakes etc.

How about covering stuff that most of us could do ourselves if we had a push in the right direction? e.g. oil change, coolant change, spark plugs, compression etc etc. Basic stuff that we could probably cover in the course of an evening.

Just my 2cents worth.
