Going to have to miss todays Tech day:cry My wife and daughter have different plans for my B'day and I can't turn down my daughter.

Have a great time and be sure to take some photos!
 
Thanks Marcin!

By the time I decamped at 2:30, Marcin had donated his not insignificant mechanical skills to three bikes, valves were checked, a shock was replaced and a Honda was up on the lift having both sprockets replaced and a new chain installed. :scratch

Marcin - I owe you again!

Thanks, Beemer01
