I can do nothing on a bike/ have not tried. I can do the majority of things on a car though.
By trade I'm Construction Health & Safety Inspector/ Construction Consultant/H&S Consultant.

I'm a Process Engineer in the field of Plastics "YAWN"
I also have a lot experience in buliding, property development, design and renovation. Pretty much fix anything, which is handy cause when I get hold of something it normally breaks. Not a bad cook either. Pretty sure that I'd do a mighty fine job of running the country too. If you want bad advice on anything. give me a shout. |

I Fix the signalling systems on The metropolitain line working for the Dreaded Metronet.
Mechanically i can fix pretty much anything on a bike including full engine strip downs. Considering my profession invloves electrics that is my weak point on bikes but still good enough to give it a go. I'll be building A lotus seven inspired kit car next year so i'll be up to speed on cars aswell next year too!! |

I'm a chemist (as in chemistry, not as in pills) but now flirting with engineering. Have fixed more of less everything as a consequence of owning a number of piees of crap. Don't like strokers or plastic repairs though.

My job is a 3D lighting TD working on feature films.
Bike wise - When I had the SV I used to do everything - all servicing, upgrading forks/shock, rebuild calipers etc. Pretty rubbish with electrics mind you. Now I have the R6 I don't do anything except lube bits and clean it! That said, I would only really feel comfortable working on my own bikes. |

Another chemist - Research and manufacturing, Inkjet, not drugs either. Also toying with a career change, must be something in the solvent.
Mechanically, I'll have a go at anything, if it doesn't work, I'll take a hammer to anything

In my job I'm primarily an Oracle DBA.
I am also reasonably good with sound systems/music/engineering and DJing. On a bike I can do most of the basic servicing/repairs. Only things I really want to learn to do is the (pointy) throttle body balancing in the near future and valve clearences some time after that. |
