Wilsons Sandbox

Who: Anyone East of the Mississippi: (Yes, that includes Canada as well:-)) When: August 14th, Saturday. O' Dark thirty until ? Where: The Millerized Ranch, Inwood WV (directions will posted at a later date if you didn't copy them from that OTHER e-mail:-) What: Any KLR, 600 or bigger, any year, any cleanliness, but just bring it! I'll have enough garage space for up to 4 at a time, with covered outside space for several others should the weather not cooperate. Air tools, lots of wrenches and the like for wrenchin' on things. I've even got a 16lb sledge in case things get hairy. Why: Do you really need a reason? OK how about: Cause you can? Cause you need some work done? You just want to hang out and BS with like minds? Cause it's August and you need to get out of the house? Maybe you want to celebrate the last day of Sturgis and can't make it out to SD? There's even some "light" dirt riding and a little hill climb should you want to break something you want to fix. That didn't work? How about coffee and donuts in the AM? Thought so! If you're going to do valves, bring it the night before, truck it or trailer it (I can't believe I just suggested that). If you want to ride it, we can soak it under water to cool it off. I've got a place in the yard you can set up a tent if you'd like. If you're going to do clutch, tranny, or engine cracking stuff, bring what you need as far as gaskets. I've got a gasket making kit if you really screw it up. If you want to do tires, you can have them sent to the house (I'll only lightly test them) or truck them up when you come. I'll provide the tools and the place and as much technical assistance as I can, you provide the bike and materials. Hell, if you want to wash the bike, I'll even show you the door Sometime around noon/1pm, I'll fire up some animal carcass on the grill: my unpatented monster bacon burgers or dogs and all the fixins, along with some of that slaw and salad type stuff. Sodas will be provided, but beer is of your own bringin'. For you vegetarians, there's a whole front yard you can eat out of. Interested? I'm not making reservations, not charging anything as it's a come if you can event. Let me know if you're considering it, but I won't hold you to it. If you can make it, super. If you can't, well, we'll only tell the list you woosied out of wrenchin your ride. So, mark you calendars for August 14, 2004 for the Mid-Atlantic Wrenchfest V2.0 millerized (insert any legal disclaimer you feed you need. Remember, stupidity SHOULD be painful) ===== James L.
