Squared Away in Kalamazoo, MI!!!

[cptjam]

We have been invited to Michigan, June 26-27, our old home State! Our Host, Al, will post up the schedule he has so far. We are thrilled to come home, and to see as many of our friends that can make it. Even if you don't need to be Squared Away, come meet your fellow Michiganders! We have a few slots left, and I would be pleased to meet as many Spyderlovers as I can! See you there!!! Joe and Ann (The Amazing SpyderAnn!)

Below is my understanding of who will be here and when. It would be most appreciated if you can either PM me or add a confirmation post to this thread.

Joe is a glutton for punishment and says there is always room for one more. If I've left any one off who has asked for a slot please let me know. On 6/27/16 there will be some pinconning cheeze and brots to nosh on during the day. There will be plenty of water available to drink and good people to chat with while you are waiting for your time. I look forward to meeting all of you and chatting.

Thanks, Al! Joe

[Larry rt]

Larry allman confirmed. By the way I might need rear breaks, parking brake acting up. PM me cost. And if I can get it done same timing.

[Indiana Ken]

Al - all set for 1300 on Monday.

I have been learning more about my Spyder, and have added all the farkles I had to bring, so just planning laser alignment at the present time, but by then I may have more.

Thanks Larry for the confirmation. I would imagine Joe might like a tad more information to make a determination of what needs attention with your parking brake. I will defer to him as to time and costs.

Thanks for the confirmation Ken. This is great news as this will allow others to come and get their bikes Squared Away. The heads up on the change of plans is appreciated. This will give Joe and Ann some wiggle room.

Thanks Al for setting this up. I'm confirming my date and time, Sunday June 26th @0900

looking forward to it. Always nice to catch up with Spyder friends.

If you or Joe and Ann need me to bring anything let me know I can always hook up the trailer and bring a jack and tools.

Hey Trickie Dick if you want to come up early or make a weekend out of it I can set you up at the Lake house in Sturgis, I will probably be there that weekend.

I can set up JOE and Ann too if you don't already have plans and reservations. No trouble at all.

We really appreciate the offer but we need to stay a bit closer to Kalamazoo. The later we can sleep in the better our day will go!

Are we still doing the barbecue? I think we should do it on Sunday. Just let me know what day and time.

Thanks for the confirmation Kevin. As to tools keep your eye on this thread; there should be someone checking in in the next day or two that needs a sway bar installed and might be looking for someone with the appropriate tools to safely lift the bikes high enough to allow a change out.

I have a sears 1500# ATV jack that will lift ~17inches, but that's not high enough to do a sway bar per Joe & Ann.
Look forward to meeting you and the others that are coming by.

Tom , that sounds like a grand idea, Sunday it is!! Whatever time you normally would get hungry and want to graze is fine with me. Bring it on and I'll augment with other munchies and drinks.

We have Firefly (Dan Egan) lined up to bring the jacks and stands we need. He will be there on Sunday. Thanks.

[IGETAROUND]

Thanks Ann, knew someone had offered; just couldn't remember who it was. Looking forward to seeing everyone, eating brats and pinconning cheeze and shooting the breeze with all who attend.

[almosthere]

OK Al say's I set for end of day Sunday. Deb and I will be there around 2:30 to meet all those there and wait our turn for Joe & Ann's expertise. We'll be bringing Deb's home made (crack) caramel corn.

[cptjam]

Glad you posted up! Your bar is on the way here, along with some for other events.
Crack popcorn? We LOVE crack popcorn!! Carmel is a favorite!!!!
Al, we normally buy drinks and hamburgers and hot dogs and chips. Buy what you think will feed the group: on us!! Joe

[IGETAROUND]

Why thank you for the most generous offer; we can work this out when you arrive, but I was planning on carrying most of the load. I'll treat those in attendance to brats, burgers and chips, drinks.

[cptjam]

I imagine you do, but Tom wants us to install shock adjusters. We have the tools, but need a bench vice to hold the shock while we compress the spring. If you have one, great! He will contact you on a time. Since he will have the shocks off, we can do it in about an hour.
Ha! Next to riding and wrenching, eating is what we do best!! I'm 6 Sigma qualified in eating! Practically an art form! 😎 Joe

I found a place locally that can install them for me.

I planing on arriving about 11 AM on Sunday the 26th with the Brats and cheese. I am really looking forward to meeting up with other Michigan Spyder's riders. Should be a great day for a barbecue.

Enjoy the Ride
