Details

Tech and BS Session

You've wanted to dabble a bit more with your motorcycle - well now is your chance! Join us for a day of servicing and cleaning our steeds of steel. We've arranged for a large, heated space, thanks to Dave Barletta (Sarg E7). We'll have space to work, water for washing, and all the necessary tools on hand. There'll also be one or two BBQs going, to keep our personal engines going, as well.

Some of the things you'll be able to do, include:


  • Wash and polish
  • Oil and filter change
  • Final drive oil change
  • Brake pad replacement
  • Cable adjustments
  • Antifreeze change
  • Tire pressure checking and filling
  • Polish your boots

Each rider will be responsible for providing their own supplies (oil, filters, antifreeze, brake pads, etc.) depending on the services they wish to perform. And, each rider will be responsible for knowing any pertinent technical specifications (type and amount of oil or antifreeze). As a final note, the facility we will be using has oil and antifreeze recycling containers on site, so disposal of our fluids will be easy.
