The Spring Tune-up is coming up.
Is your bike ready to hit the road?
It's time to look it over before the season starts
Is your license plate current?
How about your insurance card?
Those tires will need airing up and the battery charged too.
An oil change with filter also check your drive chain & lube it
Maybe check all the nuts & bolts that may have vibrated loose
Most of all are "YOU" ready?
How about your riding gear? Helmet, gloves, boots, rain gear, jacket
If all of the above is good to go,Let's Ride!

Meetings

If you live in the Chicagoland area, consider attending our monthly meetings. Club meetings are from 7.30pm till 9.30pm on the second Wednesday of every month at John's Pizzeria, 100 East Lake Street, Addison, IL. Current members and prospective new members are always welcome.
At the meetings we discuss past events and plan future ones. There's usually a tech session given by a Club member (we always need new volunteers!) and in the summer we spend a great deal of time in the parking lot, just talking bikes. Previous tech sessions have included talks on pistons, overhauling your oil pump, safety wiring, hydraulic brakes and electronic ignitions kits, to name just a few.

The club newsletter, which is published six times a year, includes technical articles, pictures from our most recent events, letters to the editor, Buy/Want/Sell ads and much more. What's more, one years free subscription is included with your CNOC membership of only $15. Join today!

Notice Board

Got a question or just want to say hello? Send us email!
We get many questions about restoring bikes, where to locate parts, etc. While it is impossible to answer them all, we can poll our members and increase the chances you will find the answer through our membership. Another excellent source for Brit bike answers which I highly recommend is the Brit-Iron mailing list . It's free, so subscribe today!
