RT_Jim Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 To help with the headcount, I'm pressuring a friend to come with me but I'm not sure if he'll give in or not. Especially since I haven't mentioned the start time to him! (and its 2 hours from my house and he's 45 minutes away from my place!) Jim Link to comment
Boxflyer Posted June 10, 2022 Author Share Posted June 10, 2022 No problem Jim, I'm bringing about 25 pounds of pulled pork for lunch, that should be enough for some extra folks...if not, we can get some sandwiches from someplace. Thanks for the heads up. Brad Link to comment

Boxflyer Posted July 18, 2022 Author Share Posted July 18, 2022 There will be a FREE 1 ounce bottle of Brake Caliper Piston Lubricant to the first 36 folks that sign up and attend these events.

John Ranalletta Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Just spent a few hours with Don (host garage), Brad and Dave. I don't know two less self-serving members of our community. They give weeks of their time and likely lot of money to help us maintain our rides and actually fix them for us. Today, Dave adjusted my valves and Brad helped shoehorn the engine guards back onto the bike. Thanks, guys. This would be a much lesser place without you. But, before closing, they are part of the BRB crew that plans and executes our Unrally and ARTs. 5 1 Link to comment
MachineJoe Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 Well said John, I couldn't agree with you more !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
John Ranalletta Posted July 27, 2022 Share Posted July 27, 2022 If you've ever wondered why Brad wanders about the parked motorcycles at the Unrally and ARTs checking paralever boots, here's why. While doing brake maintenance on this 1200GS and inspecting the boot, Brad found a hole in the boot, likely caused by the U-joint rubbing against it. While the splines were still well lubed (Brad had changed out the boot and lubed the splines some months before), this photo shows water in the tube. While at the UN in WVA, Brad found the boot tabs had separated on my GS and changed out the boot and lubed the splines. Check yours lately? 1 Link to comment
