I have pics somewhere, but a few years ago at EOM, my AE suffered a broken shift actuator mount and I had to get the thing back up north somehow. Ended up with a U-Haul van. Took off the top case and windscreen and it JUST cleared the roof. Didn't have to pull the mirrors. Wasn't even a...

My friends and I flew on Nine-O-Nine a few years ago at their stop in San Diego. There was a group of seniors, members of the Old, Bold Pilots group. Loved hearing them share stories among themselves. The best was the 16-year-old whose grandfather flew B-17s in WWII and he was fascinated by that...

I meant to post up the few pics I took but for some unexplained reason, I slept most of the afternoon. Laura and I are already talking about next year's tech day menu, so looks like we haven't learned our lesson yet and will do it all again! It was great to see old friends and meet new ones...

Typically we're up and at it by 9. Maybe 8:30 if there are TimBits in play...

I've got an '06 (granted, it's not a high-mileage bike) and I have never changed out the brake lines. Not that I'm a stickler for following the maintenance schedule to the letter anyway (I know, shoot me now...), but replacing the brake hoses seems to be a stretch. I echo Dean above and say...

Keep us posted and we can again do the remote support thing in full force!! It's what we do for family (even those we've only "met" on the interwebs).

OK folks, we're two weeks out for this fine festival of FJR fun (see what I did there?). Laura and I are looking forward to seeing all you miscreants again. If anyone needs the address, PM me and I'll set you up. If you're not sure what tech days are all about, come on down even if you have no...

Don't spread that around! He might raise his rates for these tech days and then we'll all be screwed!!

Awesome story! I got my private at Carlsbad, CA back in the early 90's and did quite a few bounce-and-go's at Ramona (as well as my solo!), so it was fun to see that airport play such a big part of it. Thanks to you and your partners for keeping that bird flying!!

Awesome! Several of your fellow Canadians attend this soiree most years, and we have a Timmy's right here in town, so you should feel right at home!!

Eden, NY, about 30 miles south of Buffalo.

Well, it seems Laura and I have yet to learn our lesson, so we are again hosting a tech day this year on Saturday, June 1st. Hard for me to believe this will be our sixth one! I have confirmed that Ray (RayZerman, the real brain-trust of these shenanigans) will be here with tools and his usual...

"Fix the cigarette lighter..."

Got a few inches of the white crap overnight. Still sitting there. Hasn't gotten warm enough today to melt it. Looks like I need to drag the snow blower out of the shed and into the garage. Was hoping not to have to do that until Thanksgiving.

Awesome shots! I've seen the Blues a few times and have always been impressed with the entire program, including the choreographed walk to the planes, the preflight checks, etc. First time I saw them was at Miramar in the late 80's, when it was still a Naval Air Station and I think it was still...

'06 AE. I've had a few times (maybe three) where it wouldn't shift from Neutral to first until I rocked it back and forth a few inches. Then all was good.

So for those arriving Saturday morning, I'm wondering if someone might be interested in picking up a dozen or so doughnuts on the way in? Now, don't get me wrong, I do love a good doughnut, but we likely don't need EVERYONE to bring some, so perhaps a quick post here saying "I got this" or some...

Bummer for us, but hey, family comes first...even if they're her family. We'll raise a beverage in your honor just the same. See you next year or along the road somewhere before then!

Not sure it's the same from the angle in the photo, but could it be one of these?...

OK folks, we're a week out. Weather forecast is good for Friday, probably OK for Saturday, maybe damp on Sunday and Monday. Of course, that can and likely will change as we get closer. If everyone who expressed an interest or said they're coming shows up, we'll have about 18-20 attendees. A few...
