Re: Clueless bike owners
I was knew to bikes when I got mine, I've always played with cars mind, but I soon realised that an annual garage visit was not enough.. maybe some ex riders saying how unreliable bikes were, they've had loads of chains snapping etc gave me a clue but how the hell can people ride all year without lubing a chain?

I just ride cos i love riding, dont give a **** about the flange inverter, warp coil or flux capacitor. I keep the engine pixies happy by occasionally shoving a sandwich into the airbox but beyond that i leave it in the lap of the gods and to old Ted's 6 monthly services. So i'll vote for option B. |

Re: Clueless bike owners
I only know the 'basics'.......petrol,oil,tyre pressure, and chain lube.
Anything else my garage does tbh. Hoping to do a basic bike maintenance course this year and do more to my bike myself
