tntmo 1030 Posted August 3 I think we had eight people at the tech day. I brought my 1980 Honda Trail 70 to get some assistance from the group. Dave saved my original exhaust by patching it up with his welding skills. The front suspension was rebuilt as well, including cleaning up the badly rusted fork legs in his lathe. Good to see the teamwork going on with electrical troubleshooting too. Hopefully we can get together again, if you have a maintenance task that you would like some help with this is the place to get it done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSM8 470 Posted August 3 Really would of liked to get a better job done on that pipe but it was so thin in so many spots parts just disappeared when the mig was struck and that was at it's lowest setting. We actually had to close the shop and turn on the AC which was a first for the tech day, it kept the room tollerable even with this many hot air filled, blow hards occupying it. Ted showed up with his beater strom which needs to be put down like a lame horse (the rider ,or the bike dealers choice). Thanks to Carl for spending the time sorting it out, cost me a toggle switch (which I expect to be returned they aint free ya know....) but able to sent it home with only one new part needing to be ordered. A friend of mine showed up because we were going to install a center stand on his bike, something I already did back in November, neither of us remebered doing it so after looking all over the shop for the parts I looked at his bike and saw it was already on there. He owes me lunch........ It was a good turn out, new member stopped by to say High (I do not recall the name if you read this please post up). We will do this again when it is cooler out most likely in the early fall (October perhaps). I did not take any pitctures, still have yet to go out and clean up. That will be a job for tonight.

tntmo 1030 Posted August 3 I'm so grateful that you put in the effort to get the pipe back in one piece, I know that you have high standards but the fact that you were able to salvage it is above and beyond. And to help ease your mind, the heat shield completely covers the welds so it won't be seen. Also thank you for patching up that Giant Loop bag for Luke, that was pretty nice of you (I won't tell anyone that you did something nice). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
