Ladies!!! Motorcycle Maintenance 101

Posted by Jasmin Doobay | August 10, 2010

Bernie Ryan offers a pleasant, relaxed 4 hour course, where he shows you what you should and need to know about maintaining your modern motorcycle.

All the questions you were too afraid or embarrassed to ask the service manager!

Some of what he will cover;

Basic maintenance of your tires, chain and sprockets, battery, cables, carburetors, etc.

Adjustment of drive chain, cables, levers, suspension and foot controls.

How to ‘boost’ a battery safely, change bulbs, check your oil, and change your oil, etc.

How to store your bike to avoid the springtime nightmare.

And much more.

He will go from the tires to the brake lever, and everything in between.

It is a basic course, for those who aren’t sure how to care for their motorcycles, or would just like to learn more.

He doesn’t teach you how to do a tune-up, but you will find it interesting.

Bernie has been teaching this course for 12 years, riding for 28 years, a licensed mechanic for 20 years, and involved in racing for 25 years.

The class is relaxed, fun, and informative.

The students are allowed to laugh at him, but not each other!

The cost is a donation to Power 104’s Kids Care.

Kid’s Care purpose is, “to benefit children of the Central Okanagan by identifying their special needs and requirements and then developing plans and programs to meet them.”    Kids Care is operated as a public service by radio station Power 104 and area TD Canada Trust Bank branches.  As a result there are no operating costs associated to the charity—the partners pay all costs.  Every dollar raised for Kids Care goes directly to the designated project.  A volunteer advisory council takes responsibility for the success of Kids Care.  Kids Care began operations on May 5, 1995.  Since then, the organization has raised about $1.4 million in support of children in the Okanagan.

The class is limited to just 10 women at a time…so register ASAP.
