FYI, there will be a (small) surprise gift for El Toro Joe..... it is colour-coordinated to that new '16....... and he thought the wait for his bike was bad, he's also gotta wait until Tech Day for this!!
No Ray. Put that Blue dildo back on the store rack.
Shame!
Yeah...what Mark said... on second thought...if I bring that home, maybe the wife would pay me to go to NAFO

Alright. I'm in. Work schedule has officially been rearranged. Everything is done and set on my bike (I think), so I'll be there just because. Gonna wanna gather the miles. Lol.

Party starts at 5am, right? 😜

 
The party starts when you get there!

Meanwhile, these are not on Joe's gift list, nor are they blue.........

TK, El Toro Joe and I will be heading up early Saturday morning from Cleveland.I (and I think Joe) plan on stopping in Ann Arbor to get a cup of coffee with some guys from the Detroit area who may also follow us up there.
Joe when are you heading up to Cleveland? Friday Night or Saturday Morning?

Julie if you're going up Saturday morning, meet us for coffee.

Tommy, Joe lives about 30 minutes South of Cleveland. We meet up at the Turnpike entrance, West of Cleveland, in North Ridgeville at 5:30. You're about a 45 min longer ride if you head up 23 towards Toledo. Want to try meeting up then heading to Owosso?

 
Room booked at the Pines, I think that is where all the cool kids are going to be hanging out. Tommy Kay is grabbing the 2nd bed.

Joe - Are you guys going to be rolling in around the crack of noon then??

Breakfast at 9am here (fixed - thanks Tim!!) for me and FJRFarrier.

Not sure why, but that link took me to a place in Fremont. Think that may be out of your way.Try the short url instead.https://goo.gl/maps/RVGJYcGhJemI'm not coming to breakfast, just trying to be helpful.
Every time I clicked the link, I got a different location in varying states. And here I thought we were going on a breakfast tour...... Lol
 
You discovered my plan - breakfast for one because not one other person would be at the same location!!

Thanks Tim - weird - never had that issue with google maps; when I clicked the link, it took me to that exact place in a new weather.

If there is still room, I would like to attend the event. My nights have been spent on college homework and classroom planning.

Some items on the FJR need some attention. Some are big items like a valve check but I have no illusions about my (lack of)skills and will not be attempting this.

Other items like a throttle body sync/check, spark plug change(is it due at 70K??) Both require the tank off right??

Clutch and brake fluid change (Brakes have 15K on them).

I have an intermittent cruise issue going on with the audiovox unit. I think it is one of two things....either water got into the unit itself or a brake wire is kicking it off

The LEDs on the back of my bike have been flickering, so I think it is a loose wire somewhere.

Finally, I need to put on a new tail section.

Are these doable with some help there??? I do not mind any of the work, but I clearly lack the knowledge......so I can provide refreshments for sure.

Advice on what I should do given the time of each task? What tools should I try to bring/??? Or will most anything be available?

How much beer money should I bring is prob the best question of all of these

Thanks
