Hi,

You're invited the next Basic Suspension Part One Workshop!

I'm hyper-excited, this workshop will demystify and really enhance your
knowledge of suspension setup. It is geared for those of you who are
neophytes in suspension to those of you who want to know more about how
set up your bike properly!

The other month there was even a guy that flew from Colorado to attend
the workshop and flew back the next morning!

Thanks to the efforts of Gary Jaehne, a local expert rider, this Basic
Suspension Clinic is possible. Yes, it's free too.

Here's the scoop:

This will be a 2 hour (non-riding) workshop held on:

Friday night, Oct 20, 2006 from 7:15pm to 9:30pm
At my office in Redwood City. Cost: $0.00

To register, just e-mail me at: (E-Mail Removed)

About the topic, "Basic Suspension Setup": Gary has made up worksheets
with pertinent data that will be very simple and understandable. He
will even have basic terminology defined so that you will know the
terms and how they apply to making your bike feel good, bad, bumpy,
springy, etc. The workshop will give you a very good understanding of
how a suspension works and what you need to do to your bike to improve
it's handling characteristics.

Workshop format:

1. Basic terms with demonstrations on a sport bike. Gary will go over
each term one by one and demonstrate them so that you will see them in
action.

2. Adjustments and how they effect the handling of your motorcycle and
how you can do them on your bike.

3. Poor handling characteristics due to "mis-adjustments" and how they
can be remedied.

The workshop will be kept simple enough to ensure that when you leave,
you'll have a very good understanding of how a suspension works and an
idea of how to adjust your own bike. You'll have handouts and
worksheets to make notes on too!

Due to the content of the materials presented, parental guidance is
suggested as your enhanced understanding of how your suspension works
and it's subsequent demystification may bring about wide grins!

We do have to limit the number of riders to 40, due to the fact that we
want everyone to see how the adjustments are made on the motorcycle.

Want to use your bike as the demo bike for the evening? E-mail me with
the specifics of your bike: Make, model, year and if it has adjustable
front and back preload.
