everyone that can come form the area, and some from further (ahem hi) converge, in this case on Bassdudes, home, and we work on bikes. Doing some of the "typical fixes" if they haven't been done, and any other mods. Most of us have nothing to do, but come to hang out with everyone else. Most of the people are from Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Illinois, Wisconsin. The main thing that gets worked on are the Steering neck bearings on the 1300's, I'd think by now most of them have been replaced, but it seems theirs always a few.

It's a great time to see what others have done to their bikes, get some ideas on what you can spend some of your $$$ on and meet some really fine folks! Oh yeah like Jeff said, work on your bike too. Great time to do something that you may be a little intimidated to do and have some experts standing by for guidance/advice.

They are a good way to meet everyone and check out their bikes at least. Plus if you need a hand with something, there should plenty of people with the knowledge or willingness to help. My advice is not stand within 50ft of someone filling a car tire with air

Weather here is really trying to a motorcyclist. Good news no snow, bad news 17 degrees and salty roads. I've braved the elements a few times this winter but criminee, 17 degrees is just too cold. Groundhog Day is coming. Spring can't be that far off!!!
