You don’t have to spend a bunch of money to have a great time and expand your knowledge!  We are offering two free clinics that deal with unusual and/or areas of interest that can help you expand your knowledge.  We will also be offering our suspension clinic in time for 2010 racing, trackday and street riding.

This clinic will cover the basic elements of custom chassis building.  The bike we will be working on will be either a land speed bike for a customer in Idaho, a prototype roadracer, or a nitro Ducati, depending upon how the projects progress over the winter. 

You will be able to see a frame jig and how it is used, tubing bending, fitting, TIG welding, and mounting bodywork. 

Basics of safety items for tech inspection at the dragstrip, track days and Bonneville will also be covered. See the general outline for the clinic

The clinic is now FULL.

Clinic # 3  SUSPENSION TUNING AND ADJUSTMENT

This is the one everyone asks about!  Due to popular demand it’s back.  There will be a nominal charge for refreshments and handouts. 

The basics of suspension both front and rear will be covered.  This will be relating to both street riding and road race applications. 

An inverted fork will be disassembled along with a conventional unit to show you what is in there.  The gold valve kit will be displayed and explained.

Scaling the bike will be demonstrated and the significance explained.

The setting and significance of sag will be demonstrated.   

Rear suspension will be dealt with from inspection to adjustment (ride height, swingarm down angle, etc.). 

From all the pre-registered attendees we will draw TWO names out of a hat March 14, to determine who gets a FREE suspension adjustment, including scaling!  The winners will be notified a week in advance of the clinic and will need to have a way to get their bikes to the shop for this adjustment during the clinic.  If the winner(s) can’t get there we will draw another name.   

The clinic is rapidly filling up! Enrollment is limited to 20 people.
