Others might look at this another way...some think I'm pretty stupid now...just think how dumb I might actually be if I hadn't been riding motorcycles all these years. :)

Fixing them, of course, can often make you feel very stupid! :blink:

I know every nut and bolt in mine. Two years ago I went through it stem to stern, top to bottom. I know it's solid. After 40 years, I can't think of one I'd rather have. I had a 175 Kawasaki trials bike. It was good too, should have fixed and kept it. Two different worlds.

Interesting study, also some mild risk taking in life is actually quite healthy.

I like the last comment:

vincentgambini • 6 years ago

but grinding your reproductive organs off with a drag bike removes you from the gene pool. so it all evens out i guess.
