Despite 11 bikes in the garage, the Wrench Report was light this time around, but no problem. We still did a bit, hung out, and got some miles in by the end of the day. The Wrench Report Lubed a chain. Replaced a stock horn with a Denali SoundBomb Mini Removed some warning stickers & residual goo from 2 brand new bikes.

We ended the day with several of us riding up to Dayton & having dinner at Austin Landing. At dinner, we caught a glimpse of the new Peanut Triple. As mentioned by a member: "very bold of triumph"

When we left, we stopped for gas before hitting up the garage. We ended up with 11 bikes in there! One is almost entirely hidden. If you see the orange of the KTM near the top/center, you'll see what looks like a windshield on it. That's actually the windshield of another bike behind it.

Another successful day. Great to see everyone, do some light wrenching, and get some riding in! As mentioned, a few of us met at UC Cars & Coffee:

Tentative plan: Meet at UC Cars & Coffee, then head to the garage day from there!

@Windfall @Jaysee_223 @Paulie Pocket @Remi Anne @Josh Duck @Atrain Hey all - I have an empty house on Sunday, so am totally open on timing. We can start wrenching whenever. Just shoot me a note to let me know approx when you'll arrive. We'll then figure out a good time to head out & ride. A dinner stop (even if later) usually helps with a general direction to head. Let me know of any thoughts/ideas?

Thanks for the votes. Let's go with Sunday the 12th. Plenty of votes and time to plan!

Seems like a great deal. The in-person class is over $2k. 40 VIDEOS 32 DRILLS 43 QUIZZES ChampU is a complete video-based, online digital curriculum that mirrors our 2-Day ChampSchool and shares the same goal: make you an awesome motorcycle rider. The in-person 2-Day ChampSchool is a ton of fun, but it’s expensive and only available at a limited number of locations. ChampU solves both of those problems by making Champions Habits (the techniques, approaches, skills, and the mindsets of the best riders in the world) available to any rider, at any location at an affordable price. World-class riding instruction is just a click away. Newer riders will find that the Champions Habits presented here will establish a solid, logical, understandable base to carry them safely through their riding careers. For veteran riders, our Champions Habits confirm and fine-tune skills while introducing next steps that become more and more important as speeds rise or conditions worsen. The Core Curriculum is divided into twelve subjects, delivering hours of vital riding instruction for every level of rider, all beautifully shot with animation and world class instructors. ChampU is not designed to turn non-riders into riders. Instead, it is designed to help riders become safer, faster. https://ridelikeachampion.com/courses-page/

Limited choices this month due to prior commitments. Hoping we can work something out! Want to see a what happened with July's Community Garage? Check it out here:

The July community garage was great! We did maintenance & washed a few bikes, then went on a ride, grabbed dinner, and rode some more before calling it a night. Are you one of the many who say fall is the best time to ride? Lets get ready for it with a September garage day then kick fall off with a ride! WHAT: A day to perform general light maintenance on bikes with a group ride afterwards. Things like changing oil, brake pads, chain/sprockets, wash & dry, etc. The assumption is you will ride here, and ride out after we finish. A resource for those without tools or a place to work, and an opportunity to wrench and learn together with a ride afterwards for those who can. WHERE: I'm willing to host. I have most tools needed, a motorcycle lift, universal stands, chain tool/belt gauge, etc. WHEN: To be decided by the poll. Anything else I haven't addressed? Let me know... To be clear: We're hobbyists who love motorcycles & are willing to do light work on our own. We're happy to wrench together & help where we can, but you alone are responsible for your bike and any work done. None of us are mechanics or have any certifications. Like you, we get knowledge from forums, YouTube and garage days!
