    All while listening to Kid Rock (or insert your favorite Detroit star here) and dodging the "leakage" from Amish buggies, EH?

    Here's something to think about....Michigan is in the shape of a mitten because that's where God smacked the Earth on the a$$ when it was born...But are we the left, or the right, butt cheek?

    And Schooter, being able to buy pop is what makes us special, Michigan is the only place on earth you can buy pop...all you can buy anywhere else is "soda"

    Max-x, Martin and Akroyd are, by definition, professional dorks!
    LOL

    I'll be keeping an eye on this thread in case anyone decides to do a clinic, carbs are not my strong point, or even my weak point.

    i'll be moving to a friends house soon, and while the garage isnt as nice as mine, though it still is about a 3 car cement floor insulated, etc etc garage it will be nice. I have a synch, color tune, yics tool, and cannot buy beer...i'll try. balancing carbs is easy, i cannot color tune for a darn yet, but i'll talk to my friend, and see what he says...

    I would like to get my carbs re-sync'd if at all possible. I don't have all the tools I need, so I was just seeing if there was a clinic coming up.

    Sounds like a plan, you aren't too far away from Saginaw.

    There is one set on ebay right now, plus there are a few salvage yards here in Michigan.

    You could also post in the for sale/wanted forum on this site.

    This seems to have died in committee. I'm in Ferndale (by Detroit), and I would love to take part in a clinic. I don't have a garage, so I can't really host. Thoughts anyone? Anyone planning/willing to host? My bike's currently apart because I'm working on the fuel tank, but I need to sync, etc. and I can certainly help other people, if someone supplies a garage and some of the tools...

    I have neither the garage, nor the tools, only a willingness to ride.

    I can help with knowledge and a 14mm colortune.

    Shed isn't really big enough to host though.
