It has come to my attention as of late that certain people should not ride motorcycles.
It has to do with attention span or focus not physical requirements.
What prompted this thought was a recent realization that it may be better to withhold information from someone in order for them to come to a self realization that they have no cause to perform with no knowledge forthwith.
If you do not know how to fix that door knob and will see nothing even vaguely familiar inside such device once openned. It may behoove an audiance to withhold thier certain knowledge of such to keep all individuals out of harms way.
I have a neighbor freind that I may have guided into an idea of performing routine tasks on his Italion Stalion.
He purchased all the lifts and special tools to get the chance to become one with his red beauty.
Only to find that there is indeed a way to mount a rear wheel that appears can only be mounted one way, another. It was truely serendipitus and quite frankly astoundingly fortuitus that I asked him to bring over his pit bull so as to raise his rear end with only the ride from his house to mine being three hundred feet. That the revalation that indeed revolutions would have resulted in a calamity a ctastrophe and at least a considerable set back.
Be very careful who you engage in ideas of two wheeled entertainment and just as careful to whom you advice about doorknobs.

I don't know. I may add my name to that list. I used to think I was fairly mechanically inclined, but I damn near knocked my self out opening the bathroom door this afternoon. My noggin still hurts.

I think back to a tyme gone bye. My first ?motorcycle? was a step thru 90 Honda. Is that a true Moooorsickle?
I bought from a nieghbor friend for two hundred bucks and my stepdad crashes it within three hours of ownership.
The only saving grace was how much rasberry he carried around for the next two weeks.
He once showed me how you can spin up a jacobs chuck to speed installation of tooling, only to bloody his hand against the wire wheel attachment that decided the chuck was plenty tight enough to spin allong with.
Yes, I laughed then also.
I think he may have been a candidate for keeping knowledge from. I think there is a saying about knowledge in the wrong hands. Sort of how Newt comes across to me.
