Tech Day: Where riders of a specific marque gather at a location to share their knowledge, experience and expertise with other riders as to the care and maintenance of their particular motorcycles.
It has been quite a while, that I know of, that a Tech Day for BMW Airhead motorcycles has been planned for the Denver Metro Area so I thought I'd help spread the word about one coming up next month.
From the host: Richard Paschen:
Bring your old BMW Airhead to the Denver Colorado Airhead Tech Day and Chile-Meat, 16 April 2011 at 0900hrs.
We have never hosted a Tech Day before, nor even heard of one in the area so here we go! The fun starts at 0900hrs and available for general use will be a double garage and large area of concrete driveway.
Spring tune ups and refreshers will consist of setting valves, spark plug changes, timing, carburetor synchronizing, fluid and filter replacements, exhaust nut service as well as anything else you'd like to try.
We will be able to collect your used oil for proper disposal. We've got molly grease if you want to do a spline lube. Tools on hand include a steering head wrench, hand tools, an exhaust nut wrench, timing lamp, torque wrenches, swing arm bearing puller, a small air compressor, an airhead manometer as well as a colormetric device, a multi-meter, grease, and anything else that you would like to bring along yourself.
There will also be a Clymer’s Manual and a Haynes booklet on hand for reference and online access if you want to visit Snowbum’s or Dwayne’s sites.
As you may imagine, work is first come first served but we will try to group like things together as much as practical. Shutdown will be at 5:00PM. If you'd like to try something ambitious please let us know in advance. If you would like to offer some particular expertise to the others, let us know that too! Parts, oil and oil filters and any tools you might need beyond those already mentioned are up to you. If there is something nifty you’d like to share – Bring it!
We'll have Texas style Chile, some sodas and water available. Donations for anything other than that can be taken on the spot.
The address is:
7734 South Poplar Way
Centennial CO 80112
303 721 6993 H
210 365 0677 C
This is off of Quebec St. between Dry Creek and County Line Rd near Quebec and C470. Google it or call for directions.
I am planning to be there to take photos of fellow Airheads communing with their fellow enthusiast, hoping to see a transmission input spline lube as mine will be due in about 8000 miles or so. I hope to see you there.
Ride Safe. Ride Aware.
