As far as the non wrenching guys, I have to say that for the most part most of the guys who are here on a regular basis do their own work. Not everyone has the tools and mechanical aptitude to do their own work.
I have been building and working on bikes with my dad since I can remember. I tore down and rebuilt my first bike a 68 Sportster. My father gave it to me in 77 on my 16th birthday. I did all the work with the exception of splitting the cases and rebuilding the bottom end. SGT Jim, Fat11lo, Fatbob usmc EOD, and others have done mega work to their bikes themselves.

Studebakers are cool and all Jim but will that leave any time left for your Lo? For the group: I have a dilemma. I just found out that my wife is having our third girl in April. I have only enough of a budget for new handlebars or a semi custom AR-15. Which would you choose in my situation?

Also, you should get the AR-15, and then use it to get new handlebars
I mean... wut..

I'm definitely leaning towards the AR. I'd like it to be grandfathered if the political climate gets much worse, not to mention plenty of trigger time before the girls get in their teens.

Know nothing about wrenching? I will be the first to say "I don't know everything" but I've made my living with a wrench since 86 when I was still in high school, Been an ASE certified Medium & Heavy Duty Master Tech since 92, and I have 2 books full of certificates from schools, classes and seminars I've been to over the last 28 years. I currently manage the maintenance and repair of over 10 million dollars worth of heavy trucks and construction equipment and have 4 guys working under me, I make decisions involving hundreds of thousands of dollars. Hmm, better call my boss, maybe I don't.......

It's an incurable obsession that will haunt your wallet for the rest of your life, there is no cure, however it can be managed and you can learn to live a somewhat normal life
