Barnsley Motor Werks Autumn Tech Day OCT 11th & 12th...

Our Spring Tech session went swimmingly, so we are more than happy to sponsor another such event in the autumn. The Calendar get a bit busy but we can squeeze it in between Return To Shiloh and Vintage Fest at Barber.
The workshop shall be open all day Saturday but, if needs be, people can sleep Friday and/or Saturday nights. Bring what you need. There is a cold shower and toilet in the workshop and floor space to sleep. You can pitch a tent otherwise.
Last time we killed a goat to feed the multitude. WeÔÇÖll do something similar. Bring a bit of backup food, just in case we run out. We have tea and maybe can find a little coffee. If you drink more that this bring it with you. We donÔÇÖt mind drinking but the reason for the gathering is fellowship and the sharing of knowledge, not to get pissed.
There will be at least two benches available and we have any special tools you might needs. Bring your own basic tools if you have a project to do. We can help and advise. You will do the bulk of the work.
To add a little structure to the meeting we have chosen a theme, ÔÇ£On the RoadÔÇØ. What happens if you are camped out in the ÔÇÿnever-neverÔÇÖ and you roll your swag up in the morning, pack your bike, swing a leg over and press the little starter button . . . and nothing?
What happens if you get a flat tyre? What happens if the charging light stays on?
Rick Jones from Motorad Electrik will be here to discuss the electrical side of things. I will help with the tyres. These short classes will run in the afternoon. We might be able to entice my wife to bake some bread or a cake in a campfire. A simple but now uncommon skill.
We are happy to discuss anything about travelling or a bike with you. Any questions, and misgiving, you have and any knowledge, bring there with you.
I have some parts in stock. If you plan on doing a procedure bring parts or ring David in advance at 770-854-9136, to see if we have it. Some jobs are too big for a tech session. Also, let us know in advance, what you contemplate doing.
John Swift, like Rick is a ÔÇÿmother loadÔÇÖ of knowledge. He was here last time and I hope we can entice him to attend again. So, come and have a nice outing and learn from some of the best. No pets, please keep your guns concealed. IÔÇÖm glad you have them, but we donÔÇÖt need to see them.
We are situated approximately half way between Bowdon and Franklin on Highway 100. Tallapoosa in the last exit on I-20 in Georgia before it crosses into Alabama. High 100 runs south from Tallapoosa to Bowdon, to Franklin to La Grange. Our village is called Ephesus. Coming from Atlanta, Highway 5 from Douglasville is a good route. From Anniston turn off the Highway at Heflin onto 46.
address is 400 Alabama Rd Roopville, GA

Thanks,
