My motorcycle mechanic isnt a motorcycle mechanic either; he's a car mechanic. But everythings the same right? Ok, he has been working on bikes ever since he got a triumph tiger cub about 30,000 years ago. Dad's, cant beat 'em.
You're right about "proffesionals" not nesaceraly (sp) being competant. I've got a good degree in chemistry (1st) but I'm cack at what I do, I wouldnt trust anything I make as far as I could throw it (not very far, as it happens, I throw like a girl)
The best thing to do is to learn how to do stuff yourself, and when doing something for the first time, ask someone who you know is competant to assist you (this is how me and my dad work on my bike). This way you can learn to do stuff correctly, or at least be able to go back on your work when something has gone wrong. |
