Chicago-area FJR owners are having the Second Annual FJR Garage Day on November 22. We will be in my heated garage located in a western suburb of Chicago. Folks can bring their bikes to work on or just stop by to chat.

Available will be two lifts (one an air-operated drive-on lift and the other a roll-under jack), air compressor, oil dump, Morgan Carbtune, multi-meter, hand tools, etc. Coffee and assorted cold beverages will also be on hand. Work planned includes maintenance, oil changes, mods, carb balancing, repairs and general BSing.

Space is limited, so if you'd like to attend please PM me with your email address ASAP. Folks who sign up to participate will get more details via email.

Thanks Jon. A heated garage with cold beverages? I'm there! I have nothing to do on my bike, but will be glad to lend a hand (maybe even two) to anyone who's working on theirs.

 
I wish I lived closer...I would have brought some real beer for yeahs. :drinks: O well, post some pics of the get together for us please...

As you know...I'm in.

I'll clean off the bike first so the wrenchers (me and anyone who helps me) won't get dirt/grease all over their hands from working on it...as it is pretty scuzzy after riding through those rain infested Missouri rivers roads last weekend.

Jon, I started cleaning up my bike as well. My Holeshot headers and pipes arrived along with the SuperBrace, PCIII and WynPro PAIR covers. I may buy some Rotella just for the putaway this Winter.

Thanks for opening up the garage to us. I'll trailer the bike in given the number of boxes to carry and parts to drag away.

We are a go for this Sunday. Those who've signed up have been emailed directions. Coffee pot will be going all day.

[SIZE=12pt]Got a phone call from Jon earlier this evening. His father-in-law passed away unexpectedly earlier today so he's understandably canceled the garage day that was planned for this Sunday. [/SIZE]

Whoa. That is really sad news. No good words except to say take care Jon...your family will need you.
