Default Like Wrenching Much?

Man, this fellow must REALLY like wrenching. Surely his bike was not all that worn out?

My shovel used to get that treatment every 2 or 3 years depending on how hard she'd been abused. Doing that is why I was able put serious miles on it without being in the garage swearing every other weekend or stuck on the side of the road like most owners were.

I think that this is amazing. This fellow goes from one end of the bike to the other, rebuilding as he goes. I am very impressed. This seems to be a winter project judging by the clothing that he sometimes dons.

You mean to say that everyone doesn't do all of that every winter?

I've been helping out at the shop during the rally - it was after 9 pm when I got home last night. Now that the rally is over, I don't want to work on a bike for a long time.
