Motorcycle Technician Extraordinaire!
Well I decided to make a few how to lenses to help people that want to learn more about their motorcycles. But before I do this I thought I would make a lens about my technical training that I have had over the years as a motorcycle technician. I want people to feel confident with my advice and to be assured they are not getting advice from someone with little or no experience.

Nice lens. The old bikes are so great looking! No wonder people are clamoring to restore them. They also can be expensive. I found a Salvage Motorcycle site that might help people find, buy and restore their vintage bike.
