Got the tools, the tech and the door prizes all ready to go! Thanks again to http://www.beemerboneyard.com for their incredible support of this Tech day. They donated hundreds of dollars worth of service supplies! And http://www.MarcParnes.com for he generous 50% off coupons good for anything he sells!

Also, I am giving six DVDs covering all the R-series bikes.

There is a small chance of rain until 10:00 AM or so, but I am still going to hold this tech day. I have room for about 6 bikes under cover, and covered seating for many more, so if you have a lot to do, come early. If not too much, feel free to come early, or wait a couple hours. I will have bagels and coffee, then lunch around noon, with Hamburgers, hot dogs, chili chips and salsa, plus plenty to drink. The drawing for the door prizes will be after lunch around 1:00.

Thanks to everyone for joining, looks like between 40 and 50 total if the rain holds off! =D>

Thanks Jim, for hosting and guiding me through the removal/installation procedure for the front ESA shock. Bike rides much better now with the new Wilbers shocks. (Installation really *is* the opposite of removal.)

And and thanks for the door prize too.

Considering the early rain, and those willing to not only attend in it, but work on their bikes, the turn-out was very good. I counted 39 people, but I may have missed a couple.

Marty Hill was the first there, then it quickly got busy!
