> Spring Tune Up - My R90 was exhibiting hard starting behavior near the end of last season, so that is what Spring Tech day is for - Valves, Timing, and Carbs, the triple hit for each bike for the season.

> So, here is the big news - I will not let the current state of the world curb my enthusiasm for Airhead camaradarie - We can now take full advantage of the social distance of social media for the better.  I will be hosting with the assistance of my son who is stuck at home with me for the balance of his senior year of college host a series of live Tech Day sessions.  We will broadcast live over Instagram, so get your accounts setup, and follow me @airmarshalma to watch and interact live.

> Session 1 - Spring Tune R90/6

> * Valve adjustment
> * Oil & Filter Change
> * Timing adjustment
> * Carb Tuning
> 
> I will see how much I can do in each of a series of 1 hour sessions.
> 
> Session 2 - Carb Tune on R69S
> 
> This will be my first ever attempt at this, so it will be like a real learning together session and we can learn and make mistakes together, but hopefully more learning with few mistakes.  We all learn best from our mistakes.
> 
> Session 3 - Member request.  Send me a suggestion and I will see if I can make it happen.  I have the following bikes to work on as fodder for ideas -

> 1962 R69S
> 1974 R90/6
> 1976 R90/6
> 1979 R65 - The wife's bike and it does not get a lot of miles...
> 1988 R100 GS
> 1967 BSA Starfire 250 Single
