GPJake Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Our first year of Community Garage events was incredible! 2021 Community Garage Highlights: 3 events with over 20 bikes / riders. 4 Oil Changes 2 Chain Replacements 2 Front / 1 Rear Sprocket Changes 1 Horn Upgrade (Stock to Denali SoundBomb Mini) Some Clutch & Throttle Cable Adjustments Multiple Bike Washes / 1 Bike Polished & Waxed Multiple Chain Clean + Lube Lets keep it going & get ready for the 2022 riding season!  WHAT: A day to perform various light maintenance on motorcycles with a group ride afterwards. Examples of "light maintenance" include changing oil, changing brake pads, chain/sprocket replacements, motorcycle wash & dry, install a horn etc. You will ride to the garage, and ride out with the group as we finish. WHY: To be a resource for tri-state riders who... Don't have tools. Don't have a place to work on their motorcycle. Do have tools / work place, but enjoy wrenching with others. Just want to watch & learn. WHERE: I'm willing to host at my house. I have most tools, a motorcycle lift, universal stands, chain tool/belt gauge, etc. WHEN: To be decided by the poll above. Barring the unknown, it'll be the date with the most votes.  Anything I haven't addressed? Let me know...  Important: We're hobbyists who love motorcycles & are willing to do light work on our own. Attendees are self-taught. People who learn from the web, forums, YouTube, etc. There will be no mechanics, certified professionals or similar attending. The person who rides the bike to the event - and only that person - is wholly responsible for that bike and anything done in the garage, including accidental damage. You must ride out with the group as the day finishes. This is not for long-term projects / storage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elongo06 Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 I'd love to go, but Saturdays are too hard and I suspect Sunday the 10th I'll be busy being my B day and all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty open to start times in the garage. Maybe 10 am or later for that? I'll have the heat on 😎 We can head out to ride whenever folks finish up & we're ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPJake Posted April 9, 2022 Author Share Posted April 9, 2022 @Atrain @Just Josh @dark_shark @dbartlett0121 @Windfall @Elongo06 Ok, let's solidify timing. Feel free to show up anywhere from 10 - 12. Whenever everyone is here, and any work is done, we'll head out. We can make our initial destination somewhere in the Mason / Loveland area to potentially connect with a few others not coming to the garage. From there....?  Feel free to pitch preferences / ideas. Also, reach out for meet up address if you need it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GPJake Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 Another good day! We had 6 people at the garage total. Not much work needed. We adjusted the static sag on 1 bike & headed out for a ride. Couple pictures of the ride below. Â Â Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GPJake Posted April 14, 2022 Author Share Posted April 14, 2022 We actually met 3 others at that spot & went on a 2nd leg of the ride. No pics of the 3 others we met there, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
