I attended my first "Mike's Maintenance Day". This event is part of the motorcycle group I joined a few months back: SAAME (South Austin Area Motorcycle Enthusiasts). It was a great learning experience and I look forward to the next one!
This day, Mike demonstrated how to handle a flat on the motorcycle: tube or tubeless. Everyone adds a word or two about their own experiences and experiences they've heard about.
Scott took the floor (driveway) next and showed us all the items a long distance rider might have on the bike...absolutely amazing! Being a gadget person (and shopper) myself, I had to go to a few stores and see which items I could find. So, I have my list now and will see how long it takes to pick these things up....a new adventure in itself.
As you can see, I got to work on my girl for the first time. Darrel assisted me with some tools, but let me do all the hands on. My battery cables have been a problem. It is nice to have someone assist but let you do the work. Takes the fear out something I had the knowledge to do, but had not "felt" the experience.
The girl with the scooter was getting assistance with adjusting the valves and performing her own oil change.
