Hosting a garage/tire-changing party on Monday, Nov. 14th.

Location: 9809 Deerview Ln., Kimberly, AL

I've got tools to change tube and tubeless tires, perform various maintenance and repairs, lift, stands, etc.

Wow, could have used the garage party about a month ago. I don't need any lift/tire work right now....bummer.

Most of the people that usually show up don't need any work done either.  ;)

The tires that I am taking off still have a couple thousand miles of life left.  We mounted them last year on 11/23/15.  I'm ashamed to say that I have only put 7,045 miles on this bike in the last 12 months.  Life has been getting in the way of riding!

If anybody wants them, they are free to a good home.  Must be present to win.  They are Michelin Pilot Road 4s in sizes 180/55x17 and 120/70x17.

Hey, I think that is my tire sizes. Wish they were GT's, but if they come off right, I could possibly use them.

Sounds like a great time, and thanks for the invitation!  Unfortunately, I'm still knee-deep plumbing our house so we can install the flooring.  Can't wait 'til I can get back to renchin' on bikes!

Y'all have fun and enjoy Goat's pizza!

I will be riding up from the hoover area!

I don't think I have anything to work on at the moment so I will be there for moral support and useless information!

Pizza should be covered...maybe a few sodas, etc. We have some here, but there's a good chance my kids will have guzzled them by then.

It surprises me as well, but I have been riding more conservatively this last 12 months ... more easy rides, less chain stretchers.

Looks like I will be in attendance, if for nothing else, but to let "nice goat" measure my rotors.   ???

It will be  nice to meet some forum members.

I went ahead and took care of my project for the evening to save some time...installed a TouraTech shade on the Garmin.

42 seconds from start to finish.  :)

It was a good evening.  We swapped both my front and rear tires, swapped Johnny's front tire, and drooled all over James' bike.

I was thinking on the way home that we did not take a single photograph.  Thankfully Kevin got a couple of his GPS.   ;D

Big thanks again to Kevin for opening his garage and helping out his brothers.  Next time we ride, Kevin's lunch is on me.
