Time for kindred spirits to pull their rides out of storage and gather together to wrench, eat and BS.

Some of us will have had our bikes out for a while and others will have done some of the wrenching over the winter, but I'm sure there will be others who might like to do a little tweaking on their bikes. Besides, who doesn't like a day of meeting old, and new, friends and talking about the upcoming season of riding.

Hopefully Old Man Winter won't hang around quite as long as he did last year and the weather will work in our favor. This weekend worked out pretty well last year, in spite of a late snowfall, and May looks like I'll be pretty busy, so I hope this works out for others as well.

If interested, please PM me for an address and be sure to post in this thread what it is you might like to work on for your bike. In the past we have rolled out the grill for brats n burgers, but if you have any other suggestions, let us know.

Wow, I have that weekend off! I don't know that my bike will be due for any maintance by then but I sure would like go for a little road trip to stop in and say hi to everyone and maybe watch and learn.

 
I could not make it last year, but hopefully this year will work out. Looking forward to meeting more local Feej riders!

I'm planning on coming Mike...maybe a front tire change.
Looking forward to seeing both of you guys here.

See you in a couple of wks at the IMS also Marc. You just might find me at the KTM display drooling like a fool over that new Super Duke.

 
Puting it on the calendar, just in case the timing can work...

Thanks for at least putting a ray of hope out there for the end of winter!

Well I hope the timing does work out Shane, would be great to meet you.

Just hoping this winter doesn't drag out like last years winter did.

 
I'll make it if my schedule allows! Look forward to it.
I hope it'll work out Matt. Just in case I take something apart and can't figure out how to put it back together again, you're my go to guy. I can't have half a dozen bikes in various stages of disassembly hanging around my shed for too long.

 
If the ice is not out yet at the cabin... I may have to find my way to Green roofed Shed one again...

Well then Ken, in that case I'll expect to see you there.

As cold as it has been this winter, that ice is thick enough to support a Sherman tank and won't be off the lakes until June.

Last year it went out the night before (Thursday night) the walleye opener.

 
I would love to come. Right now my schedule is open for that day. I don't need any maintenance, however I would love to watch assist anyone with Brakes, Brake fluid change, coolant change. Any other work that someone does is just icing on the cake.

 
Well I hope your schedule remains open Rrarthur. I haven't touched my bike all winter, so odds are I'll have to get a whole winter seasons worth of work done all in one day. lol

On a side note: didn't the 40's feel GREAT today??!!!!
