    All going well in a fully appointed motorcycle workshop,at dealers, but I do not wish to give to many details away as it might ruin the whole thing.

    Smile Id be very keen!

    Im new to KB - and yet to go on a ride with you all (bloody winter interrupted that idea!!) but me and my husband would both be in to garage nights.. We'd be keen on all the basics eg. oil changes etc.

    Look forward to meeting some new like minded peeps

    I dont think it need to go into valves etc, just basic adjustments oil changes, knowing when to change sprockets etc as others have said.

    Then if people want to go beyond that maybe a couple of advanced nights for cam chains, clutches etc etc.

    I have a front and rear brake pads that need changing. Also my clutch and brakes could do with a bleed.

    I have the fluid and can easily get the pads, so I'll happily volenteer my bike to be used as a demonstration bike.

    It sucks bleeding brakes and clutches when you have to do it by yourself.

    Easy to do it yourself, when you know how, hmm I think that would be a good thing to be taught. How urgent do you feel you need to do the brakes ? because if its before we get an evening sorted just do them, I have a couple of callipers here we can use just on the bench if need be.

    To be honest its not urgent at all. I just feel like putting in new brake fluid.

    The pads will be getting a bit lean though. I just figured that it would be way easier to do these things in a full workshop than to piss around with my limited set of tools.

    You are a nicer person than I am Rashika, but I guess there was never any debate about that!! Personally I hope skiddy stays in Auckland. I get enough of him on KB!!

    By the look of the third picture you need to stay off the piss and get your arse into gear and put it back together.

    Glad to hear you got the Guzzi goin, so was it what you thought it was?
