Owen Posted June 23, 2010 Share #1 Posted June 23, 2010 What: Houston area, SE texas Maintenance Day When: August 21, 2010 - 0700 until ?? Where: My humble abode in NW Houston. (Address published later) Why: The date selected is only 2 weeks before the Pork-In-The-Pines ho-down in Minnesota. I for one will be making the 1400 mile trek up to meet and visit with our northern friends and want to make sure my bike is prepped. Anyone else planning to attend that event can use this MD to get ready. The more eyes on your bike, the better. Food: Main course - brisket prepared by one of the finest BBQ chefs in the area. Accommodations: There are several hotels/motels very close by and I will post more info on them later. Sorry, I have no camping room available. Perhaps one of the local members will offer up something. I have plenty of tools for use however I do not have a tire changer. I'm sure there will be tires to change so maybe someone will lug one along. This run for the northern boarder will also be the first leg of an extended, 2 week, solo trip for me. From Minnesota I will head to the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia and then down the Tail of the Dragon on my way back to Houston. I should be on the road for about 2 weeks and cover a bit over 4000 miles. So that's pretty much the plan at this point. I know it will be a fine Texas day with heat and humidity as usual. There will be plenty of iced beverages, shade and maybe even some ice cream to help keep you cool. And yes, the house AC will be on for your pleasure! Ya'll come on by...

Dave77459 Posted June 23, 2010 Share #2 Posted June 23, 2010 I have a trip to Michigan scheduled for Mid July. I have a trip to Utah scheduled for Labor Day. I'll need something done between, for sure. Even if not, tearing up someone else's bike is too much fun to pass by. I just got a bead breaker and some tire irons. We can change tires if need be. We'll need a better compressor than mine though. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eldermo Posted June 30, 2010 Share #25 Posted June 30, 2010 I definitely would like to attend the MD on August 21st. I have never been to one, so I don't know what to bring. I think my clutch will need to be looked at as well as maybe having my carbs synced. Do I need to preorder anything? I"m soo confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
