GrainStorm VII April 23rd.
GrainStorm VII The Covid Years.
Having missed '20 & '21 due to the bloody shitestorm of covid...It's back, been a while time for a catch up.
As is the norm for a workshopday the whole idea is to do the work on your bike yourself...there will be someone on hand to talk you through it if you not 100% confident. So bring any parts & fluids you will need & tools if possible.
If you want to attend just for the craic, to meet fellow Stormers or just to talk general bollacks..thats fine...we need just one bike to be worked on to make it a workshopday...& it gives the rest of us someone to mock...
I have paddock stands, abba stands & most tools...but please bring you own tools if you can...I don't mind lending out tools but keeping track of them when there are loads of bods around is a bit tough. remember the old saying...
''If you handle another man's tool treat it as you would treat you own & always return it wiped clean with no messy residues upon it...''
There will be plenty of rags, paper towels, fluid receptacles ect on hand. Plus air compresor + tools, bearing tools, brake tools & large hammers.
Remember you are working on your own bike.
There is plenty of room but no responsibility is taken by me for any ham fisted broken bits or any baboon treading on your removed body work.
I do have some spares, oils, fluids & lube if needed.
It has to be a Saturday in case a major part is required & a trip to a bike shop is required. Although I do have a good selection of spare parts...
If you want to attend then drop me a PM to start with. Inc. your user name & what you intend to be doing. In return I will send you full address & a contact number..
New members with less than 50 posts...get posting or post on here & I will PM you.
I am not putting my Address, phone number or e-mail in this post...Contact via PM only...

Re: GrainStorm VII
Ah, back in the time when men were men, and it was a 3/8"socket that went missing every time you looked for it.
How times have changed...
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

He needs to watch out that no one picks him up to wipe their hands on...
So ATM it's just the Monkey & Kev L who are intrested in coming along.
At least the Monkey will have someone to chat to on the same inteligence level...

Re: GrainStorm VII
So we have a few 'I'll pop alongs' we just need someone to come along who wants work done to make it a workshopday rather than just a ' lets eat Mac's bacon & talk baldrocks day'
How about either last two weekends of April 23rd or 30th ?
30th being bank hol weekend...
Long range weather forecast for both days looks OK but we all know that means JackSh1t
Most ' I can do (insert date here)' posted in next 7 days wins that day...
Personaly I'm not botherd either way but would err on the side of the 23rd as bods tend to have plans for the HankBoliday...

Re: GrainStorm VII
If there's no work to be done we could have a Rideout instead?

Re: GrainStorm VII
Island hopping, Grain to Sheppey then up to the Isle of Dogs.

Re: GrainStorm VII
I can do 23rd or 30th but I’m still going to eat your bacon
