We need members to lead some “Tech Sessions”. If you have something that you’ve done to your Connie and are willing to share your knowledge please let us know so we can get some Tech Sessions scheduled throughout the week. Also, if you have something you’ve been dying to do but have been nervous about tackling it let us know and maybe we can get someone to volunteer to demonstrate the process.
This is a great way to not only help your fellow members that may be a bit leery jumping in and tackling a job but it’s also a great way to meet people and chat over a bike that brought us all together. And you know what they say about mastering a craft, “Watch one, do one, teach one”.
We’re not all certified mechanics, we’re just people from varied backgrounds and experiences that have come together to celebrate our bike and club. Please come out and share what you’ve learned along the twisty road of Connie ownership.
Maybe a tire change, replacing brake pads, brake fluid flush, stem bearing adjustment, adding a better horn or auxiliary lights, installing an accessory fuse box, building the ultimate tool kit, or final drive lubrication. We’re not going to rebuild an engine or gear box, and probably won’t get through a C14 valve adjustment. We all came to ride and we’re not looking for an all day project, just an hour or two to pass on what you have learned over the years.
I’ll have my support vehicle so if you want to tear up your tires on the ride to the Rally, have a set shipped to me, I’ll bring them, and you can lead a session on swapping tires. We changed a C14 front tire in the motel parking lot at Dog Days with simple hand tools! Maybe you have a set of auxiliary lights in the garage that you’ve been meaning to install, bring them and lead us along getting them installed and wired up. My space isn’t unlimited but let me know your needs and we can work something out. I can bring fluids and some simple tools (torque wrench, drain pan, tire irons, etc.) that you may want to have available for you to lead a session.
If you’re willing to jump in and lead a session please contact Roger Somero (COG 5903/ Roger123) at someror@gmail.com or 757-285-7924.
