Thursday Night Wrench Club

[bblass]

Thanks to everyone for coming out last night! We tore down the top end of an '80 XL1000, told stories, drank beer and had a good 'ol wholesome American time. Many thanks to @kylepeterson for the video!

It was great meeting @Maxim1982 at his first forum event. Looking forward to the next one!

 Sorry I didn't make it last night. It is always a good time!  ;)

Does he have the frame n stuff to go with the XL1000?

Thanks @bblass! I enjoyed it.

Thursday Night Wrench Club - Ben's garage September 13th @ 7PM - We've got a few options on tap this week

o Fork seal maintenance & replacement
o Continuing work on the IronHead - top end if the rings come in, the fine art of carburetor cleaning if they don't
o Electric motor mounting and fabrication on the still unnamed electric bike
o Free beer!

Plus anything else anyone wants to bring and tear into! Surely someone has a tire that needs mounting...

Hope to see you there!

Rain is letting up in Homewood and should be clearing out in the next half hour.

Wrench night is still on, hope you're able to make it!

since loading stuff up in the rain isn't fun, I'm diy at home this evening in prep for the Cove Ride...

swapping from slippery sumos to roosty mc roostface wheels
oil change
coolant flush
extra clutch cable zip tied in place

About to head your way!

It was a great night of two stroke troubleshooting! A local specialty toolmaker was in the house autographing past tools!

When you've got a welder, you've always got the right tool!

Thanks to everyone who came out and braved the weather last night. It was a great time doing the ignition on the RD350 and learning the finer points of ignition advance and retard.

Next week is the last Big No 1 bike night. Come out and see the MC-AL crew dominate the slow race and the tire toss! We'll be back at it September 27th getting vintage bikes ready for Barber and taking donations anyone has for the booth.

 So last night we all meet up at the last 2018 Bike Night @Big #1. Had fun, talked some B.S., some competed in the slow bike race and generally had a good time. I got there a little after 6 and this is the only video I took;

And just a few pictures;

Looking like it's gonna be more rain today and tonight. Probably best to call TNWC off this evening. Seeing is how Vintage Fest is next week, next Thursday's probably not a good night either.

Down for a Tuesday Night Wrench Club or another night next week if anyone has some final buttoning up to do before Barber

Damn. I was actually going to try and make it this week

As it turns out, I'm heading to Muscle Shoals for work. And my parts to install won't be here until Friday...
