Tech Day Escondido (7-15-2023) 9:30am

Recommended Posts

Location: 925 Chardonney Way Escondido,Ca 92029

Beware of dogs, they will be removed from the property before the gates open but DO NOT ENTER if you show up early for some reason and the gates are NOT OPEN.
Ring the door bell.

I am thinking maybe the Saturday July 15th.
Since the website recently had to get all the stuff renewed that is a good chunk of change out of Randy's pocket.
So would like to have people donate for what ever work is done on their bikes to the website (standard protocol for the work I do)

There are 4 dealers close by (all the major brands including BMW) and the cycle gear is here too.

Same rules as in the past, full workshop with all the tools (Mill, Lathe, Tig Welder) etc. will be made available, this is the time to get advice if needed on set up, we can do suspension sag etc.
Ability to repair AL skid plates if needed is also an option, I am talking cracks, not building you one from scratch.

If you use the tire changer plan to take your old tire away with you.
Oil can be disposed of here.

Based on headcount we will determine if there is enough interest to have the grill up and running.

This is a good occasion for the new people to come out and meet old members (they like to hang out on these things <snerk> ) and put names to faces.

Thanks for hosting another tech day Dave ! And for helping support SDAR. 

We'll see everyone there.

If I'm around, I will stop by.  

If you need to do some work on your bike, it's a great time and place to get it done.  Lots of "Helpers" around (people who will drink beer, watch and laugh, mostly) and it's a good chance to meet all the people in the group.  Some of us even ride, occasionally.

Wish I could make it! I am out of town then. Will there be something similar in Early July?

No, we do this once every few months. Dave has the perfect garage, yard and tools for this.

The swap meet/for sale table was nice last year. Is that a recurring thing? Maybe a cash donation bucket?

If people want to bring stuff to sell that's fine but it does take up a decent amount of real-estate and generally not the purpose of the event.
I say if you have good used stuff you want to sell post up here what it is and if enough people have interest bring it.
Don't bring junk just to get rid of it, and do not leave any of it behind, I have a very large dumpster and I am not afraid to use it (people fit in it too 😉)


We always have a donation bucket that goes right back into SDAR.

What might be nice would maybe combine a tech day with a swap meet. I know most of us have a garage full of stuff to sell or swap.

I see by reading some of the other post that this has been mentioned before.

I just started on the new bodywork, but I guess I can put it back together by next weekend...

So far it looks like we have 7-8 people showing up, all appear to be tire kickers (coming for the event not working on bikes).

which of course is fine, can always be a workshop clean up day.

😁

If I get a headcount we might be able to prepare to at least a dogs on the grill or such.
