[QUOTE="cleonard, post: 5922, member: 21"] I do what I can. If it is only wrenching then I do it. I have machine work done for me. I don't have the tools to bore a cylinder, but I do hone. In fact I'll be honing my XR600 cylinder tonight. I had a new rod installed on my crankshaft because I don't have a large enough press to get that job done. Anything else and I do it. The question should have the word "bikes" instead of "bike." A lot of it has to do with time and knowledge. I mostly like wrenching. Many do not. Some are afraid that they will screw something up. Some lead such hectic lives that they just don't have the time to mess with it. One reason for me is that I have had mechanics literally try and kill me. For example I once had a wheel fall off on the freeway because the tire shop forgot to properly torque the lug nuts. There have been several other examples. At least if I pull a bonehead move I only have myself to blame. [/QUOTE]
