Down the Road

Young Surf City Tech Day

Come join us overlooking the sand and the sea in Santa Cruz as we gather once again (this is the 5th one!) to bench race, drink beer, enjoy a picnic lunch, and quite possibly do some maintenance or repairs to our faithful vintage/R90S/air cooled BMW Motorcycles.

This year Ted Porter will be present. Ted has about 25 years of experience working on Airheads and Vintage beemers, on his own and at dealerships like Bob's BMW and San Jose BMW. If you think you might need a factory tool to perform a job, let him know. He has them all. Of course, he can help you with any maintenance issue.

I hope you'll keep Gary Hanson in mind. Gary had traditionally put on a Tech Day at his house in Palo Alto this time of year. Among many other things, he was a great host, and we miss him.

When: Saturday, April 9th, begining at 10am

Where: The Richman residence in the hills above Santa Cruz. Click here for a map with contact information and driving instructions.

What: Lots of workspace. Free use of a motorcycle lift, tire balancer, air compressor, TwinMax carb balancer and various hand tools. I have many of Ed Korn's tools for working on /2 model bikes. 20W50 oil and hypoid gear lube available. Also, I have the Clymer books for /2s and airheads, and the BMW /2 parts and shop manuals.

Santa Cruz BMW is 15 miles down highway 1, should special parts be required. Ted's shop is even closer should a bike emergency arise.

Food and Drink: The BBQ will be running and we'll have beer and soft drinks to go with it. I ask you to bring a side dish, appetizer, or dessert to share.

What Else: For those who would like, camping is available in my yard and there is copious floor space available.

Please RSVP with the form below so that I can be sure to have enough food and drink. You can do it here online, or send email, or call Darryl Richman at 831-475-1339, or use actual snail mail to 333 Castle Dr., Santa Cruz, CA 95065. Thanks!
