Groeger Special Tooling
2600 Bay Road, Redwood City, CA 94063
Joe at work, Nov ‘99
This is Joe Groeger scoping out the condition of the large bearing from the rear-end of a 1966 BMW R69S (mine). It’s an example of the type of things that happen Saturday mornings at Groeger Special Tooling. (He found indications of pitting on the race – the bearing was replaced).
Join us as we talk about (and sometimes work on) old BMW motorcycles. The group meets just before 10:00 AM Saturday mornings at Groeger Special Tooling in Redwood City. We leave for brunch in Redwood City about 10:30.
There’s a mailing list for those who meet on Saturday. See the mail page for more information.
2012
Quail Motorcycle Gathering
Darryl, Simon, and Marc manned the Vintage BMW Motorcycle Owners booth at the 2012 Quail Motorcycle gathering. Marc took a few pictures of some of the bikes at the show.
Tech Day
The storm passed and the skies cleared in time for Darryl’s 12th Surf City Tech Day. I didn’t see a lot of tech going on, but the food and company were sure great.
Joe turns 92 this week. In celebration the Saturday brunch group was larger than usual. Not pictured are, Jim Houts, Alan Huntzinger, Bill Grass (w/Clinton) and the photographer (Chris Weld).
New bike
Five left the shop after brunch this early March day for a romp in the Santa Cruz Mtns; Richman, Zunkel, Steiner, Grass and Weld. Weld knocked down 170 + miles, house to house: the longest post breakfast ride on record. Joe Steiner was mounted on his brand new V-Strom. What a great way to break both in.
Calaveras Rd
Another after breakfast ride, this one on a beautiful January afternoon in the east bay.
An unusual group of Saturday riders. Dick, Rob, and Chris. The unusual part is the addition of Rob. This is the first time I can remember that he joined the Saturday group on a Saturday. Picture from Dick.
