rocks Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'm hoping the 8-12" of snow forecasted for April Fools day won't make us have to think about postponing! Link to comment
BevBeng Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 April Fools from Old Man Winter? We are expecting rain and some of the slushy stuff just north of Boston. Link to comment

rocks Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 I'm hoping the 8-12" of snow forecasted for April Fools day won't make us have to think about postponing! Well we certainly didn't get what was predicted... closer to an 1 1/2" of snow... I think we're still good to go for the 30th!! Link to comment

Rocks Jr. Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 At this rate the only one attending this Tech Day is going to be Old Man Winter, who apparently hasn't gotten the memo that it's spring. Link to comment
brianbmw Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 The Yankeebeemers will be camping in the area that weekend for the Frosty Nutz campout. Maybe if you post it over on there site you will create some interest. Brian yankeebeemers.org Link to comment
rocks Posted April 8, 2011 Author Share Posted April 8, 2011 Please chime in if you're thinking of coming and have just been lurking... want to try and get an idea of how many people. I'll provide coffee and munchies in the AM and lunch... if people are staying over we'll figure out dinner as well. If only a few are coming we can go for a ride... there one or two good roads around here Thanks S Link to comment
mos Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Rocks, I am only a maybe. If the weather is good, I may ride up in the moring stop for an hour or two and head back home. Don't plan anything around me. Do what you think is best. Hope to see you then. Mike Link to comment
Sweendog Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 Is there a date set? I suppose I'll plow through the 7 pages... =) Link to comment
Sweendog Posted April 9, 2011 Share Posted April 9, 2011 I found it. April 30th. =( Too bad I can't make it that Saturday, we're going to a sheep & wool festival in CT. I would like to see how to do the valves on this thing in person. It seems simple enough when I read the instructions, but it also reads like the kind of thing that is better learned in the presence of someone who has done it... Happy Wrenching! Link to comment

Kathy R Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm hoping it's a Tech Daze, but understand if it becomes a ride around. Link to comment
rocks Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 I'm hoping it's a Tech Daze, but understand if it becomes a ride around. Well you're coming for a few days so it could be both! Link to comment
Kathy R Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I was planning on 1 day wrenching, with travel for Fri and Sun. That keeps me off the bike at night on back roads. I will not soon forget "Beware of Moose" signs at 11pm on my way into the UN in Lancaster, NH The bike doesn't need anything. I just like to learn in person. I won't mind riding around beautiful VT/NH or wherever My last Tech Daze was - good gravy - back in Winona, MN in about 2002 Conducted and hosted by the Fabulous Eddy brothers and taught by the Honorable Mr. Tom Roe.

EddyQ Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Please chime in if you're thinking of coming and have just been lurking... want to try and get an idea of how many people. Steve, Sorry for the late reply. I am a definite (unless the weather is real bad). I've been struggling to determine what wrenching my bike needs. Last fall it got some TLC at the dealer before storage. I have a new set of PR2's ready to mount, but my old PR2's won't wear out. I suppose a brake fluid flush is a marginally needed item. Then, I'd like to get my GPS wired to the connector under the faring. I plan to come solo and hang out with you all! AND very much looking forward to it! Ed - Link to comment
Zern Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Good thing I happened to check the site. I don't make it on here nearly as much as I should. I'd love to make up there. My one and only tech day so far was in 2009 a week before I even picked up my new bike. It'll be nice to attend one while actually having an RT. Plus, I'm only ~2 hours away, so I can't use distance as an excuse not to. Kip Link to comment

EddyQ Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 The Yankeebeemers will be camping in the area that weekend for the Frosty Nutz campout. I've never been to the YB Frosty Nutz campout event, but I am a YB member and have attended the YB Rally out in Heath, MA last August among some other YB events. These folks are real friendly and know how to have fun. The Frosty Nutz event has open arms for anyone to attend (see LINK ). So, if you are a camper and want a nice place to stay not far from Canaan, you might want to check it out. Ed - Link to comment
JC120 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Hello Steve I will be there weather permitting. Don't need to do much on my bike but can bring some tools that could come in handy. Good reason for a ride, see you in a few weeks JIm Crowley 1150 rt Link to comment

DiggerJim Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 Not sure what people are wanting to get done but if you want to ship anything... Do you need any special tools like the Parnes wheel balancer, ABS funnel, etc? Not sure if Paul is coming but I can bring up some of our tools - just not gonna slap the tire changer.on the back of the bike :-) Link to comment
rocks Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 Jim, No tires being done that I know of, I do not have a tire changer. I do have an ABS funnel and syringes... Could use a Carb Stix or the like... Have most of the basics... I have not spoken to Paul either... I'll try and get in touch with him... maybe he'll bring his lift and of course his talking torque wrench! Link to comment
DiggerJim Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 I have a TwinMax that I'll bring. The technical CarbStix If Paul doesn't come I'll steal his talking torque wrench while he's not looking. Link to comment

sdpc2 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 if anyone from Southern CT or Southern NY is heading up, and the weather is agreeable, i would like to come along. Perhaps a valve adj, and TB sync. I also need to do the left cam chain tensioner, but don't know how long that would take. scott c. Link to comment
