News Chapter L rides are back in full swing and the fun has started all over again. Our shop day 2011 was a great one. We had over 23 people present and at least 18 bikes that I can recall. We mounted and balanced tires, installed new brakes, corrected some other brake problems, installed floorboards and heal/toe shifter, chain and sprockets, and various other things. We had rolls and coffee to start the day and chili with lots of desserts for lunch. Thanks to all that brought supplements for the chili. It was all great. The Parking Lot Practice rider training day was a little more sparsely attended. The weather forecast was for severe storms to come through the area. It was very windy but we didn't get any of the wet stuff. Some of our people had other understandable conflicts but I'm sure the weather forecast was the major restrictor of our attendance. A large attendance is not a determiner for a good event as was proved by the outcome. We had three bikes make it so we had a good training session anyway. It was a chance to sharpen some skills and to hold some very worthwhile communication about rider safety. Following the rider training, we went for a ride. Phillip Duncan led us on a beautiful ride north of Springfield. We then stopped for a bite to eat before heading for home. It was a great day in the Ozarks. If you didn't make it, I am sorry for your loss. Check out our ride schedule and be a part of the fun as the opportunity presents itself and your personal schedule allows. It's all about the fun we can have together. > Remember, our group is made up of riders on a wide variety of makes and models. We have Harleys, Hondas, Yamahas, Suzukis, Scooters, Trikes, and even one Can Am Spyder. We don't really care what you ride. It is about friendships more than the bike. Everyone, no matter what your membership status, is always welcome to any and all of LCR activities. Keep the dirty side down.

Annual Shop Day
Final Drive fluids were changed on 3 bikes, one headlight bulb change was demonstrated by Wiliferd on his bike only to find after the demonstration that the bulb was bad when put back in. A change of headlight bulbs was then done for real. Ron put a new belly pan on his bike after explaining to us it is possible to destroy one while it is on the bike. I shudder to think what would have been destroyed had the belly pan not been on the bike at the time. Bill Jarvis changed the coolant on his bike. A check of the brake fluid indicated little need for changing it out at this time so that project stopped after only a little disassembly. Richard put on a trailer hitch and wiring isolator. His seat bolt threads were also chased.
The ladies served us Chili, lasagna, deviled eggs, potatoe salad, exquisite desserts and a variety of drinks. Thanks to all who brought food. Many thanks to the ladies for the preparation and serving of the food.
Everyone seemed to be having a good time and the bantor was enlightening for most of us. Jason Jarvis just bought an '03 FJR1300 with the full tour package which he brought to the event. The silver bike is beautiful, has removable locking luggage, comfortable and very powerful. It rides great. Thanks, Jason! Jason even tried out the trials bike.
This was a fun event that resulted in accomplishment for maintenance on several bikes. If you missed it, you missed a good time and a great opportunity. Hope to see you at the next event.

The annual Lake Country Riders Shop Day was held at the home of Wiliferd and Charlotte Lair on Saturday, March 17, 2007. The weather was cool and cloudy. Steve Short, Richard, Lynn and Kerry Myers, Ron and Carla McCall, Bill Jarvis, Jason Jarvis, Wiliferd, Charlotte, and Rebecca Lair, and Frank Rhinehart were among those in attendance. Frank Rhinehart is our newest member. He lives in Phillipsburg and was unable to ride his bike due to the coolness of the air. He was a very welcome guest and readily joined in with the shop crew.
