Thursday Night Wrench Club

[bblass]

I'd be down to travel out there for a wrench night. If it's too far for most on a Thursday I'd be down for a Sunday afternoon group ride out there as well

I wouldn't mind hosting one of these up in Ashville sometime if there's enough interest.  I've got plenty of tools, a lift, tire changer, music, beer, etc.  It's just a bit of a drive for some.

For those who aren't familiar, Ashville is in St Clair county.  Kind of between Springville and Gadsden, just north of Pell City.  I'm 12 miles from the PC Walmarks.

Post it and they will come. ;)

 Well this isn't really about the Thursday Night Wrench Club, but it is about working on my motorcycles....a little easier.
Several years ago I bought 1 of those tire changing do-dads to help me take a tire off the rim. I would just use it on the concrete floor, kneeling down. I would then true and balance the tire the same way. Kneeing down to use the balance stand.
Well I made a metal table out of 2x2 box beam, welded a 3ft x 4 ft piece of 1/8th plate as a top. I then mounted 4 castors, 2 of them locking, to the bottom of the table. Well today I finished it. Mounted a vise, my tire changing stand, and made an attachment thingy for the wheel balance thingy.

BAM! No more kneeling and hunching over to change my tires.  ;)







Now all that is left is to clean up and arrange my carport again. 1 job ALWAYS leads to another...

:D

That is a jam-up setup, bro!

See you fellas and ladies tomorrow night! PM me for my address!

Please don't arrive before 7:30pm ass we will be putting minimetallo down for bed!

Park in the driveway, the dirt to the right of the driveway or on the street and walk to the basement door on the left of the house!

For that matter you can ride through the gate and park in the backyard! May need knobbier to get through the tall grass! I may even cut that for you guys tonight.

 COOL!

I cut the grass so;



my Mom said I could go!!  :D

[renchinrider]

Just welcomed my daughter Madeline home today so I'm out for tonight. I think the next planned one is at @Fencejumper09 's place next Thursday.

CONGRATULATIONS to you and yours!

Typical shenanigans this week! I'm sure everyone is ready to get back to Ben's Haven!





The Colorado copper washer was removed and hung on the wall, More to come on this my my ride report!

This Thursday is the last summer bike night at Big Number 1. Someone from our crew has won the slow roll every time this year and it's imperative we go down undefeated. A stalled bike gave @Fencejumper09 the win over @dredman last month. I'm looking forward to an epic rematch this Thursday night! Or perhaps @kylepeterson will show up in time to take them both to school?

Regular wrenching activities to hopefully resume next Thursday, the 23rd

what's the story on the copper ?

 Got something HUGE to do. And I do mean HUGE!
1. Change both tires on the AT.
2. Install the Outex system thingie on both rims.
(WTF is the Outex system? Good question...go here for information;

Then watch the Youtube video below \/)

So, to big of a project? To be honest, I am thinking so but maybe just 1 tire/rim?

[Fencejumper09]

Crazy they sell a "system" for what people have been doing on supermotojunkie for years! That is how my sumo wheels are sealed!

[springer]

 Had a good time I did! Nice ride over, had a couple of free soda's, ate a free hamburger, talk motorcycles, and had a dry ride home.  ;)

All in all, a good evening to be out and about.

First up, a crappy video of some funny timed races...on tricycles.  :D

You meet the nicest hoodlum's at Big #1  :D

Graham looks very concerned eating that chip in the bottom photo... Please don't hurt my bike!!!
