As I said earlier, they do offer classes all throughout spring, summer, and fall. There should be plenty of opportunities to get a weekend class if you don't mind waiting. Just check the website every once in a while and see if new ones are posted!

Cool. The harley class I heard is $300.
So the road america one is cheaper. Is it a weekend class? Or a 5 day one?
They have a lot of different options all throughout the warmer months. I took one of the weekend classes, which is two full days. They do offer weekday classes as well, which are typically night classes.
Here is their website for the class:
http://www.roadamerica.com/experiences/motorcycle-schools/basic-rider-course.html
They will constantly update it as new classes are planned.
As an added bonus, if you go when there is an event taking place, you can watch the cars on the track after class without having to pay any admission costs.

how do I find where to take motorcycle classes. or do they not open up until spring?
I would HIGHLY recommend Road America Motorcycle School. The instructors are awesome, and make it a lot of fun. I took the class this past summer and went into it with a decent amount of off road dirt bike riding, but there were others with no experience whatsoever, and they did very well by the end of the course. They have three different types of bikes to ride (cruiser, enduro, and dual sport) and you are able to try them all out. All are 200-250cc, which is exactly what you seem to be looking for. The cost was $250 and at the end they give you the completion form which you take to the DMV, take the computer quiz, and you have your license.

Everything about this!
Had a red one of these come in when I worked at a local body shop. Needless to say, I fell in love with it as well. What a beautiful car.

Came across this today (also happens to have been posted today) and thought it might be fun. I don't really know anything about it other than what is on the website. I might try to attend at least one of the sessions though, even if it is just as a spectator.

This is too awesome...

I had mine done at B&K Powder Coating and I am very happy with the results. For stripping and coating both (V8) valve covers in black it was $125 and mine are magnesium which they were unsure about doing. They did a great job and had a quick turnaround also.

by Cathedral square? i think i recall seeing an e39 that morning
Yep, that would be where. I believe I was driving my dad's car that day though (e39 528i)
-
It is very simple. All you should need are hubcentric rings. I used e39 wheels on my e36 with them, and had no issues. They can be found on eBay for cheap, which is what I used. Outside diameter should be 74.1mm and inside is 72.56mm.

Always nice to see another guy from MSOE. I'm currently a junior ME there. Love the ix
-
Pretty sure I saw the Kaiser today bumming past MSOE, was on my bike couldn't get a pic
probably, had to get out of the msoe B-lot.
didnt get a parking ticket for once.
I definitely saw you as well. There is no getting away with anything in that e30 lol

Bias aside, I've heard enough first hand customer experiences that should make you wanna run from International. Our master techs are very experienced and we are a smaller operation too.
What he said. (Couldn't have put it any better myself)
-
Do you have the specs of the hubcentric rings I will need? Are the same as hub bore adapters?
OD should be 74.1mm, ID should be 72.56mm
I ran e39 wheels on my e36 (same hub size as e28) with a set of plastic ones off of ebay and they worked perfectly

The cable has little chance of coming out of the trailing arm once it is that stuck. You could always detach the cable from the handbrake lever and pull it all of the way through. It would take a bit of work, but might be the best option.

Video is great!

I would be glad to help work on it, as always Chris. Sorry I had to be the bearer of bad news...

I had an awesome time! It was great meeting everyone! Also, great pictures Dan

We were able to get the splines to mesh alright, just couldn't get the input shaft of the tranny into the pilot bearing on the crank.

Sorry its been so long for the reply. I took the covers in on a Friday and they were ready for me on the following Wednesday evening. Overall, I am very pleased with how they turned out. The coating looks exceptional and it was done in a very timely manner. I am a little disappointed in the lack of communication that B&K offered, however. I had emailed them as the first contact and received a response the very next day, stating that they would be willing to attempt it. I replied stating exactly what I wanted done and that they would be dropped off. I dropped them off that Friday. After hearing nothing for some time, I called on Tuesday and found out that they were already stripped and he would try to finish them by Wednesday. On Wednesday I was emailed that they were done. Despite the lack of communication without my nagging, I would not hesitate to do it again. I am very happy with the quality and the price seemed reasonable to me at $100. I would recommend to anyone considering getting their own powder coated.
A few pictures: (don't mind the dirty plastic engine covers) EDIT: Only one picture would upload for some reason. If you want more, I can PM them.

Crappy pic, but e36 coupe on southbound 43. Looked pretty clean. Anyone on here?
