Motorcycle Technician Extraordinaire!
Hello Everyone,
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.
