Unlike the book whose name inspired this site, this site is really about motorcycle maintenance.
When I rode my first bike like 8 years ago, one of the problem I faced was finding information about motorcycle maintenance. There wasn’t any book on the topic, not at least for the cheaper bike. Not for Japanese bike.
What was available was fancy information about custom bikes, fancy bikes, prototypes, fastest bike, latest model, test rides. Nothing along the line of helping the new biker who just brought a second hand bike for a few hundred dollars.
Motorcyclist like to trade stories, tell fellow riders what they had done before. When I park my bike at the parking lot, I talk to people, look at their bike. I never come across a car driver doing that.
Quoting a line from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
I had had the nerve to propose repair of his new eighteen-hundred dollar BMW, the pride of a half-century of German mechanical finesse, with a piece of old beer can!
It is story like this I like to collect and share. Not necessary my own.
