How have I been checking the primary lube level by myself for the past 36 years?

Also bleeding brakes, pulling engines out of frames and re installing them...

I didn`t consult google, that`s how.

But some here seem to rely on AI a lot when they answer questions (when they don`t have a clue themselves but are compelled to answer, sometimes several responses in a 10 minute time period).

Well to answer your question, it is pretty simple if you don't have anyone around no one said it was.
But if you have a friend standing there why not.
And don't feel bad only having 36 years of experience, everyone at one time was that inexperienced.

I`ve been checking the primary lube level for 36 years on the same machine.

And judging from the stuff you post on this forum it is obvious you have zero experience; you just regurgitate the answers you get from Google.

That's almost as old as one of my motorcycles, an 83.
But it's not a contest, no reason to feel bad.about your youth and inexperience.

Does this remind you of anyone?



And he's from Michigan. Isn't someone else from Michigan?

Yes it reminds me of a stalker type personality who has the time and inclination to look up people's statistics and apply their cut and paste talent.

You always say that, in fact you repeat nearly everything you post several times, but as for the member information it is literally one-click of your user name, and a drop down.

It is not some major research project that takes "time and inclination" grandpa

And yet I would have zero - no interest in looking up your stats. Your interested in me is so far greater than my interest in you , I find it odd and creepy.
