Re: DFW KLR650 Tech Day July 28, 2007
We had the shop set up in work stations. I'll do better at planning it out the logistics next time. It got a little rough getting the bikes past each other to get to the rear Doo Hickey stations.
Which were completing their task faster than the other stations.
Not to be outdone by the Strom Tech Day, we had two Doo Hickey stations, 2 valve check/ front fork stations, two electrical/ what ever else stations, and 2 oil change stations with one access to the tire changing machine.
Next time I'll put the four wheeler rigs outdoors for the day. Then we can put the floor jack lifts across from the two lift "I" beam we used for the doo hickey swaps.
I wasn't sure where to put the platform lift. And I think it was more in the way than it should have been. But, it still got used.
Oh, and next time I need to add a spectator station!
We had a few. Which, I was glad to see because some of them got put to work.
My only regret is I didn't have time to sort my tools out and place the ones needed by the different stations. We had a lot of tool shuffling going on. And it would have been neat to have a tool tray between each spot rather than having the tool boxes, tool bags, and tool piles on the floor.
We also needed a clean area to put the pizza and drinks.
Like I said, I'll have the logistics thought out better next time.
All day I had my camera in my pocket and never got a picture. How sad.
I was too busy having fun. (And Bleeding)
I know there were pictures taken, I’m sure they’ll post up so you guys can see what you missed.
Squeaky, you know you challenged me!
