list updated, 4 participants from last time cannot make it, which leaves us with 5 attending so far, so there are places available for a few more Dogs....

Remember - it's free, with arguably one of the best technical guys in the Cape giving up his Saturday morning to show us what do do ourselves/what to watch out for... :thumleft:

Let me know....

Cheers

Chris, the club members always pass the hat around at these sessions, for a donation for Shane's time and knowledge.  Unfortunately I can't be there on Sunday as there is training, but I would suggest that you do something similar.

Regards

Peter

If you can dream it you can do it!

We learnt a lot - Shane has extensive knowledge of the 1150GS, and we admired various modifications and fixes attendees had made to their bikes.  Shane is organizing a courtesy bike for the workshop, and they will also collect and deliver bikes that you check in for a service. 

If you are in the Northern Suburbs with a bike out of warranty, this is a great place to have your bike serviced.
