As promised I am happy to open our back yard and old shed for a weekend. I am also happy to go somewhere else.

Seeing as may is coming up soon I thought it might be time to clean some injectors, adjusting suspension, servicing brake calipers,(waterpumps ) story telling and sharing of information. balance some carbs, Flush a radiator, install headlight relays or just get a group or second opinion.

I have a spare engine here (many thanks to k freak again)that is open and suited just fine for those wanting to see how things come apart if they are not yet confident enough to open their own.or need a spare part.

We could even have a go at using our puncture kits??? So we know how to use them. I sure as heck havent used one yet.

I figured if there is enough interest we pick a weekend in april. This will give people time to get teh parts they might need and suggest a date. Even though there were only three of us last time, lots was seen and learnt.

Any takers??

PICK ME! PICK ME!

I had an excellent time the last time I was there, so put me down for the next one!
I'll bring my pillow next time and the mozzie spray and the mozzie coils and a better mattress and...

Learned heaps and never boring!

sounds great alby ...water pump day as well?

just hoping my arm gets better for then

What you done Charlie???

pulled a tendon i think, have had the issue for a while ....but i guess rushing along pulling heavy baggage off the plane reactivated the injury

cant lift my arm at all at the moment ...heading off to the natropath - bone cruncher to see if ive dislocated the socket durring a session on the beach late at night ...(read xmas party and jumping off sandhills and landing erm awkward like)

yes every body laughed ..an old bugger keeping up with the young uns ... grin .... another classic moment

Hi Alby

I'd be interested in attending. Always keen to learn more and acquire new skills.

Thanks

ps. Charlie, hope the arm gets better.

why do buggers live so far away you always are having fun

So long as it isnt Easter I will make it, rip schmidt tear or bust.

+ 1 on the easter timing ......there are some real whackos ...that let them selves on the road then ...id prefer to take my chances at any other time of the year ...

btw ...as i suspected, tendon is misplaced (not sitting in the right place . strain injury) been ordered to "take it easy ...and lots of ice " after manipulation and reallignment

there goes the new big wide rubber ...darn

but i should be able to get back to work monday with hopefully more moovement .

Yes!! Forgot about the Easter Mayhem. How does April 14th sit with people?

That is 3 weeks before the May meet.

April 14th works for me, but I'm flexible and will fit into whatever date is best for all. Thanks

Yeah 14th is ok for me. I haven't got anything specific I want to do but a few beers will never go astray.

I've checked the calendar and my diary and consulted my psychic (who read my tea leaves) and apparently Pluto will be entering the quarter that aligns favourably with travel, so I'm good with that date...

14th sounds good ...

closer to the day we could plan a time for a meet for the near brissy folks ...before heading up the hill ...maybe woodford ?

Is it just me or does all the clever K knowledge live in Qld? Pity it is so far away. I would love to attend a day like this. Especially given that I make a rank amateur look good.

jump on a plane dave ...ill give you a ride up for the weekend ??!!!

we have seen lots of good things come out of these days

Is it just me or does all the clever K knowledge live in Qld?

Nah, it's all here on the Forum from around the world. That's what blows me away!

How about the BP Service Centre Caboolture (Northbound Bruce Highway) just past Exit 146 (Uhlmann Road)? BP fuel, coffee and that other food that I won't mention.

jump on a plane dave ...ill give you a ride up for the weekend ??!!!

We will even feed you!!!! (now where is that bachelor chow??)

Isn't it normally kept in a bottle Alby. Liquid steak and eggs!!!!!

goodness gratious me dave don't you know anything about healthy living. It's vitamised steak and eggs.

All this discussion just reinforces the notion that Queenslanders are just a little "different". Good luck with your day. Just like Dave I wish we were that little bit closer.

In fact we are all very close. We communicate and share. Ultimately, we will learn what's Alby was showing them this week end.

Cheers,

But without the lighthearted banter and hangover!!!!!!!!

Hey Alby, maybe you could video the day/night and put out a DVD so us minions down south can have a laugh err I mean an educational evening.

Alby I'll ride up on my k100 from Vic, were talking about April the 14th 2013 aren't we ?

@halo Why dont you come on up for the next get together in may?

A video Dave?? That would be the one sure way of seeing some really shall we say..Questionable behaviour!

You mean fly up ?

OOPS!!! Didnt quite read your post properly!!2013!!!!!

hmm you might be needing one fellow called the doctor and his tardis ? for bike and rider ...

but ifn you want to join in, i dont mind picking up from the airport ...at brissy in 2012

Thanks guys wish I could go I could send my injectors up for the ride Alby

Maybe some of us K riders down south area needs to be meeting up and arranging a tour up to QLD for a visit and group workshop? The Minister of War is ok with that.

You may need some floaties at the moment Brett.
We have a get together in May up here that you are all welcome at. Anytime at all I am sure we would be only too happy to see you.

G'day Rick,

Nah floaties back in storage waterr is slowly subsiding but then the real fun happens it's time to help clean up, i belong to the Rural Fire Service and we get asked to assist as we have the pumps on trucks that do a great job at stripping mud, paint,gyprock, ets from walls, then squirt it all outside in a heap. Flood effected people appreciate the help.

aye ! good helping brett ...

Thanks Charlie

Tallking with Charlie on weekend and I think those who are coming out should try for an early start. This will give us time for getting some jobs done in time. water pump, injectors,brakes,(I have a vacuum bleeder) I have a spare waterpump ready to go in case someone finds a serious problem with theirs. If you need parts now is the time to order them so you have them in time.

Any new members are more than welcome. There is room for tents or enough room in back shed for a swag.

hmm ...yes an early start might be in order ....anybody have objections to a 7.00am meet at the northbound bp just south of of cabulture

just putting it out there .

that should give us an arrival time close to 9.00am i guess

and an early bed time i suspect ....always depends on the quality and quantity of the dinner and associated support mechanisms .....( read grog )

news ...."bert 2" might be able to get away for a sunday cruise and meet ....(would be a welcome break for the "hard workin fella" )

ill bring some food with me this time instead of "camp chow " we got a camp oven available alby ? nice slow roast sounds good with friends ...eh ?

AHHH! Charlie been talkin to the man with a RED fetish?? Yes I have a camp oven or two. Thinking a largeish Meaty & Gravy Stew and lumpy mash spuds and pumkin. Old shearers feed i picked up from days rousabouting!! Cheap and plennyfilllin.. Lets hope bert can make the mornings ride . Show off his naked mods.

Remember there is room in the shed!!! Even dug out mozzie coils!!

crikey ...mouth is watering already ,,,,mmmmm

havent had a good camp stew for ever it seems

7:00am is fine with me.

Stew is fine with me.

Meeting Bert 2.0 is fine with me.

Mozzie coils...is fine with me.

Getting up with a hang over the next morning is not fine with me!

At least you didn't say i was the 8 track Bert.
I am looking forward to getting up to the service day. If i leave nice and early i should be up there around 8.30 - 9.00.
This weekend is doing the naked k100 job. I really am over the heat coming from the fairing. I have put more insulation in there and sealed around everything but it still cooks me. So its off with the fairing and on with the nakedness.

Hi

7am meet at the BP sounds good to me. Looking forward to meeting you all.

Greg

I like what Blakey wrote but it begs the question, is this Blakey when he is not seeing red??????????

A shed, grog, swags,stew, roast, panadols under the pillow for morning & K bikes with character company, doesn't get any better than that.

I SNORE!

YOU HAVE BEEN OFFICIALLY WARNED!

DO NOT WHINGE ABOUT IT TO ME ON SUNDAY MORNING!

Apart from that, it'll be a fun weekend!

psst ...he does too .....grin ...

no worries blakey old mate ....we all do at some time ...

i have this tecnique ...beat the other person to sleep ......works for me !!!!

To stop him snoring, you just tuck him in and give him a kiss on the cheek goodnight. He will stay awake all night watching you.

lol dave, hes a mate .....not going there old salt !

but would be a great story round the bar huh ?

but i should add that he has far more issues to worry about from alby ......and his grenades and foot mines and other stuff .....giggle

this will be fun ...dontchu worry about that
