Time to quit 'time-pass' discussions about the 'looks' of bikes as if they are actresses, their 'ripping' ability as if they are weapons of war and their 'farkles' as if they are pieces in display in the show windows of a garment store. Time instead to equip yourselves with skills and knowledge that would increase your 'competence quotient' as riders, bike owners and bike appreciators.

A tiny handful of competent members shall host a technical training/skills workshop wherein the attendees shall get to learn basic hands-on skills relating to motorcycle upkeep and maintenance along with the ability to do minor repairs while in the field.

NOTE: Only those who have no revulsion of getting those dainty hands dirty and greasy need attend. There will be no chairs to sit on. So mere spectators are NOT welcome.

The following aspects of motorcycle maintenance shall be discussed, demonstrated, photographed and also vediographed.

1. Puncture repair - preferably for both tube and tubeless tyres
2. Front Disc brake checking/service/pad replacement/brake bleeding (if time permits)
3. Rear drum brake inspection/shoe replacement/adjustment
4. Drive Chain inspection/adjustment
5. Handlebars - steering head bearing checking/adjustment
6. Basic carburettor tuning
7. Spark plug reading - both for 4-strokes and 2-strokes

Timing: 3:30PM onwards on Sunday 27th September 2009. Should wrap up things max. by 7:00PM

Venue: The Writer's Hut, B-39, Sector 57, Noida.

Drinking Water and Tea shall be on the house.

The 'Technical Experts'

• Sandeep Goswami aka Old Fox
• Ashish Pandey aka Chintu Bhaiya aka c_sbk

NOTE: Volunteers needed to record the workshop both on still camera and video camera. Still pictures can be posted on the thread itself. Videos can be edited and posted on youtube etc with links being provided in the thread.

P.S: This is serious stuff. Those who want to just pass their time and have fun can seriously skip this G2G, and I would be the happiest of the lot, then. ONLY those who are serious about motorcycle/ motorcycling should join this.

Shit... I so want to be there.. But already made plans for an outing with the family.

This being a long weekend, me thinks many might be going out of the city. If that is the case and the plan may be considered for a later date, then kindly consider my vote for the same. Coz really really want to attend this.
Otherwise, if somebody can pls make a video of the complete thing in detail, I would be most grateful..

A good one - a G2G with a purpose! Wish I was in Delhi.

Looking forward to the recorded version of the workshop. All the best!
