Anybody need anything special done to their bike or would like to see a specific type of maintenance performed?

I have a trailer and will be coming up from the south so transportation can be arranged.
 
I can demo an FJR oil change, or a C10 carb cleaning, or just sit and eat  :beerchug: :103:

Clutch fluid flush?  Mine is pretty dark, especially compared to my brake fluid  ???

I can bring the Mity-Vac brake/clutch bleeder. You bring the Dot 4 fluid, brake cleaner.

If the Mity-Vac is available I will flush my clutch and brakes on the FJR.

For some reason, we have notoriously bad luck getting people to go online and register..........but expect we will have quite a few more show up than sign up.  See you all there tomorrow!
 
Thanks Brian for hosting it was great to see the guys.

Fun things I learned
Next get together Northbound Smokehouse Brewpub December 12th
A new COG member upgraded from a Yamaha X1100 to a C10
You can pickup a Surface Pro 3 for less than $500.00 this weekend
Zumo 660lm GPS can now be had for a little of $300.00

For you folks sitting on the fence about coming to an event please note their is much more to be learned, shared at these COG events than just talking about Concours.

And the food was spectacular.
 
A big thank you to Brian for hosting. The only negative is my hands got so dirty wrenching I had to scrub them raw.  :rotflmao:
