I had a background somewhat similar to what you described but started out with lawn mowers and re-building a John Deere tractor with my dad when I was about 14.

I gotta take issue with the above statement however. Just because YOU have a mechinical apptitude and YOU can do it doesn't mean that anybody can. Even with help, some people just don't get it. That doesn't mean they shouldn't try but your statement would tend to make them think they are not "normal" if they can't.......and that is certainly NOT true.

Re: Motorcycle Repair 101?

Speaking for myself, I'm bold enough to try some fixes/mods on my own, but I'm also keenly aware of my lack of inate mechanical ability and won't attempt anything out of my league.

If I were to consider myself abnormal, it would NOT be due to my inability to rebuild carburators.

(For the record: I am definitely not normal) :-D
