Originally I wanted to host the January party at my shop. December business left my place full of junk and a hidden gas leak has still left me without heat in the shop.

I had a couple of offers to host the January wrenching, if either of those individuals would like to step up and offer their place for January it would be greatly appreciated.

if y'all northerners (DFW area that is) are willing to drive south to Mansfield, we'd be honored to host the January wrench party. 

Nora says Saturday the 22nd will work for her.  We'll take care of the food and drinks.  Just need a head count.

Sounds like we have an assortment of wrenching to do.  The Pearl White Steed is up for replacement of the vacuum lines and installation of the quick disconnect for the gas line.

I installed the saddle bag rails in 2008; I think I could muddle my way through it again.

Come on down  !!!

Doc, yeah, we know how to adjust carbs, rebuild carbs, and everything else that can go wrong on the Valk, don't matter what year or which one. we are now on the EAST side of Fort worth, off 820 s and ramey ave, one exit up from East L ancaster. we will host the May wrench party.

This all depends on the weather. I do not ride on ice. I can get enough clothes to handle cold. I would like to go over to the darkside and tune the carbs too.
