Thanks to everyone who made it out last night! It was a terrific evening of grease, domestic beer, and good conversation.

I failed to take photos again but I'm hoping @springer will post a few of our accomplishments.

Last night we balanced and tuned the CB450, put some new signals on an FZ09 and installed the Eagle Mike doohickey on @2372ighost 's KLR. We also laid out some longer term plans of building an electric bike for vintage fest!

It ''twas a good evening. I enjoyed hanging out with everyone. Reminded me much of old times.

That looks like a great turn out!!

With baby blass soon to be joining us, I would like to pick up hosting this event to continue it's momentum! I do not have the two car garage and tasty natty light but I do have a back yard and basement (slightly conditioned) with many tools! If I can get an 85 Goldwing in the basement I think we can get whatever you have to work on inside too!

So if anyone is interested in it I will be hosting the TNWC at my house (less than 1 mile from Ben's) next Thursday 8/9/2018 at around 7:30!

@dknx has mentioned changing a tire and I will be working on the YZ or the Goldwing! The 690 also developed a flat after some Colorado singletrack!

Feel free to message me for my address.

@bblass feel free to come by if you can get that sweet little girl to sleep!

Just welcomed my daughter Madeline home today so I'm out for tonight. I think the next planned one is at @Fencejumper09 's place next Thursday.

Looking forward to seeing everyone then!

I wouldn't mind hosting one of these up in Ashville sometime if there's enough interest.  I've got plenty of tools, a lift, tire changer, music, beer, etc.  It's just a bit of a drive for some.

For those who aren't familiar, Ashville is in St Clair county.  Kind of between Springville and Gadsden, just north of Pell City.  I'm 12 miles from the PC Walmarks.

Id be interested. I work an hour from there. I'm near fort payne. That's decently closer than Birmingham.
