Unlike Guth, I find little pleasure in working on bikes. I am not by nature, very mechanically inclined. I'm the extroverted artistic one. I write stories and books, I draw and paint. I'm good with pencils and paper, and generally with people. My brother the introvert is good with tools and understanding mechanical processes. The world needs both kinds. Been like that since we were little boys. I can read the service manual and follow steps, and can/do work thru the simple stuff, adjusting a chain, pulling either wheel if I have to, changing the oil, filter and air filter, lubing a clutch pivot pin, replacing a battery etc, but it doesn't come to me naturally or easily., like it does my brother. If someone made something, almost anything, he can take it apart, fix it, and put it back together again. That was never me. Then again, you won't find him online as he just cannot grasp computer stuff, or cell phone stuff, or communicating much with people especially online, but face to face either, for that matter.
Beyond the most simple basics I have no desire to work on my motorcycles, I'd rather pay someone else with real mechanical talent/abilities to do the work, and I will ride them.
