Do you already have a person to host it?

Here are the details:
18333 Telegraph Springs Rd
Purcellville, VA 20132

Decent size garage with long mostly flat driveway. Plenty of room to work on bikes and a good bit of it in the shade.
I have an air compressor, decent selection of typical mechanics tools, though if you have any specialized needs, ask or bring it.

I'll have the coffee pot on at 8.
And there'll be plenty to eat for lunch.
Since I haul my own trash so I'll have a few jugs for used oil and will take it to the dump for you.

Word of warning (or encouragement depending on your preference): roads coming in from the south are mostly gravel. GPS has played havoc on a few of my city dwelling visitors in the past.

I am in, for oil/filter change. Nothing too exciting but ya'all can watch me wrestle with the bash plate. :lol:

I am in also. Valve adjustment and general amusement are my order of business. :lol:

Well... I wasn't planning on being there, but now that I'm home - I'm in!! Not sure if I'll have anything to do, but I'll bring my tools & brain & hang out at least through lunch.

Being a vegetarian, I won't eat what Mike's cookin' ... but that doesn't mean I don't like the way it smells :D

I have inside info that some portabellos and/or tofu may make it into the smoker! =P~

I will actually have work to do at this one!

I have an LED light bar that I want to install on the back of the bike. It has 3 wires coming out of it. I have absolutely no idea how to wire it into my 2 wire tail light circuit. Besides the light bar itself and soldering implements, what supplies should I bring to get this done? :ear:

Thanks!

I likely won't make it to this one--pending parts I have a date with the rear main seal on my K1200!
