Also, I'm totally hooked on bike wrenching. I have a Ninja 500 and a 650 and bikes are everything I love about motorcycling but more so. Motorcycles (the ones I like) are simple machines, bikes are simpler. Motorcycles get you out of the car and in the environment, bikes do it better. Motorcycles are great on gas and fun to work on, bikes run on belly fat. Motorcycle parts are... Well, spendy. Every time I need a bike part it's 20-40 bucks.

Now that I'm focusing on the Miyatas and the odd vintage Cannondale I feel back into the swing. Thanks to everyone for advice both technical and philosophical.

Cheers.
