RedRider Posted July 6, 2009 Share #1 Posted July 6, 2009 OK all you Cheeseheads and northern Flatlanders. I have clearance from the tower to have a Maintenance Day at the Estate on July 18th/19th. Wife and daughter will be heading to northern Illinois for a basketball tourny, and that leaves me to my own devices. I know it is kind of short leadtime, but we can pull this together. The VR calendar has been checked and there appears to be no conflicts. What do you say? Anybody up for beer, brats, and wrenches? Fond du Lac, WI - kind of in the middle of everything. Plenty of ground for camping, beer fridge is full (as of now), workshop is fairly clean, garage is ... well, I will need to work on that. Let me know if there is still interest and we will get it set up. RR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedRider Posted July 7, 2009 Author Share #6 Posted July 7, 2009 An extra enticement - It is the same weekend as the Fond du Lac County fair.

RedRider Posted July 8, 2009 Author Share #19 Posted July 8, 2009 OK all; it appears we have a handful of 'Will be there' and a handful of 'Maybes'. Good enough to make this a go. Just for you 'Maybes' - there Maybe beer still in the fridge for you. Just for edification: tools currently on hand - Carbtune - sync carbs - 10 to 30 minutes ColorTune - set mixture - 1 hr Lift and lift adapter - grease splines, install Dynabeads for balancing, oil change, brakes, etc. - varies Wrenches and various tools - clutch work, electrical work, etc. Let me know what else might be needed or wanted done. I am on the SE corner of Fond du Lac. Have plenty of room for lots of folks - camping or couches. Inside parking if it rains for a good dozen bikes. More details as this shapes up.
