Feel free to come visit, and I will help you do it on a real tire. I saved my old tubeless from the scooter. :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-43786165159939873972010-03-03T16:20:19.463-06:002010-03-03T16:20:19.463-06:00Chris:

I would like to repair a flat under supervision, rather than having to do it under duress for the first time at the side of the road in the middle of no where while talking to myself<br /><br />bob<br /><a href="http://www.wetcoastscootin.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">bobskoot: wet coast scootin</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05258612401956399482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-61884697582700356592010-03-01T21:11:47.748-06:002010-03-01T21:11:47.748-06:00Thanks Sojourner.

It was a good refresher and taught some basic skills that could save a bunch of money every year.<br /><br />I also can't imagine operating a motorcycle or any other vehicle under the influence.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-35608853690359341282010-03-01T13:15:46.330-06:002010-03-01T13:15:46.330-06:00Sounds like a very worthy conference and cheap to ...Sounds like a very worthy conference and cheap to say the least! I too would have loved the maintenance class too. I took one and was the only female. Did you happen to notice how many females in your class? I love skills courses like that. They reinforce what we need to always keep in mind.<br /><br />The stats you shared are similar to others I've read about single vehicle crashes. A striking number are related to alcohol use. It is challenging enough to navigate a motorcycle fully alert, I can't imagine trying to do so under the influence...Sojourner's Moto Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02235661849993752840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-40965123492999345912010-03-01T08:15:15.333-06:002010-03-01T08:15:15.333-06:00Dear Jack:

Next time you go to change the tires on your bike to new ones, put a nail or a screw into the tire first. Then get some practice repairing it. I think I might do this with my SV for fun in April when I get my new tires.<br /><br />I would have liked to visit other sessions like the group riding too, but the maintenance session was the entire day.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-22642407406048816492010-02-28T18:39:32.142-06:002010-02-28T18:39:32.142-06:00Dear Chris:

I have all the gear for fixing a flat, including the compressor to reinflate the tire (plus a C02 back-up) on the bike. I would also have appreciated getting the latest consensus on the protocols of group riding. <br /><br />Fondest regards,<br />Jack • reep • Toad<br />Twisted RoadsJack Riepehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07531160098262862027noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-9813767916339119722010-02-28T16:39:58.161-06:002010-02-28T16:39:58.161-06:00Thanks MikeThanks MikeChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606446271603142230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1204440107409695969.post-67597795878684388782010-02-28T16:31:14.700-06:002010-02-28T16:31:14.700-06:00Sounds like it was well worth the time.
