Hey does anyone want or need (like me) to do a wrench day? I can bring the Twinkies and Yoo-Hoo.
I could possibly host it at my woodshop in Sausalito. (I would just have to check with my shop-mates on the scheduling)

I need to hunt down this oil leak on my bike, but I might just settle for doing some sanding in your woodshop instead...I have some shelves I'm working on.  The sanding will yield results whereas the oil fixing will only result in a new leak somewhere else.  ...I'm not joking.  

p.s. this is 'belle typing.  I didn't realize enzo was logged in and I'm too lazy to fix it.   cheeky

I need to do a 6K Fluids & Valves. I would need some help with the valves. (anyone?)
Also the multi is a mofo because of the enormo gas tank removal.

I did the valves on the Duc once. And Valves on other bikes too. I also have a how to video and I bet Enzo has done them a few times. I bet we could get it done.

I'm a gamer for doing the valve adj. and belts on my own, but would LOVE someone who's done it maybe more than once to kinda watch over my shoulder.  I worked in auto repair for more than a decade and still do most of the maintenance on our three vehicles, but in the back of my mind I'm always thinking about something not being done right and locking up midway through a corner or at 80 mph on the fwy.  Maybe I'm just a wuss that way.

If you plan it, they will come...ok maybe some of them.

Throw out a date, and see what happens.

I'd be willing to help out, but it all depends on when and where!?!?!?
