All we need is a reason.  Do you have something that needs to be done to your bike?  Does any of the STL Area riders need anything done?  Let me know what needs to be done and when you would like it done and I will plan a wrench party.  If there isn't a set topic, we could cover a more common topic such as adjusting valves or inspecting U-Joint and pinion cup.

I'm definately in for a wrench party.  I have the rear wheel off right now for a tire change and just ordered the o-rings from HDL.  The cup and driveshaft look a little tough for my abilities.  I could use some help.  I'm much better if I can see it done one time by somebody who knows what they are doing.  I've changed the rear tire a number of times (115,000 miles), but just put in some new grease and put it back together.  This time, because of the board, I thought I would at least try and change the o-rings, etc.  I should have the parts from HDL and the tire in a couple of days.

I just this minute sent JoeValkIS a p m. Under the best of circumstances i'm 3 and a half 4 hrs from the Gateway. Get ahold of him like i did with a p m and see what his thoughts are. Up front i'll be a little short of cash this month car insurance due tranny work on the cage-the hits just keep showin up. cooldude RIDE SAFE.

Hey Gary,

We don't need to wait for a full blown wrench party to help you out.  Since you have your bike apart, I could meet up with you at your house when your tire comes in and help you out with checking your pinion and u-joint.  Drop me an email at JoeValkIS@Spirit-1100.com and i will send you my phone number. 

I will start looking at a good date for a wrench party but it may be into April (mostly to let the weather calm down a little).
