And consider coming over to the Darkside if you are changing out the rear tire.  Join the tens of... tens who have made this choice. Evil

There's one scheduled for the 8th of January.  We try to hold them once a month or so during the less hot months, it varies.   It's been a while, life got in the way again. 

Come on down!!  We generally have a good time, and some work gets done on bikes, too!

I will try to get down there.  I need to turn Wall-E to the darkside.  Hopefully I can do it.  Since I am still basically a virgin at this, please be gentle 2funny  Grin

Wizard,
  I would love to go DS. Would it be enough time to do nut job also? Does anyone know the size of carriage bolt needed for the fender rail after a nut job? I have dreamed of a GYTT.
