Lessons From My Mechanic

I don't deny that I am a dumb blonde when it comes to the technical aspects of a motorcycle (or any automobile and machinery for the matter).

So usually, when Lionel makes a statement like "Wah, your chain super loose" or ask me questions like "when is your next servicing", I'd usually return with a blank stare, followed by "oh then how?"

He will then advise me to go to my mechanic and ask me to relay his observations to them.

Today, I did what Lionel asked and paid a visit to my mechanic to tighten my chain. And since I am a dumb blonde, I have learnt the following about my Steed:

1. I must tighten my chain from time to time.
2. It is very common for the front forks of my Steed to "dive" as much as 10cm to 15cm when I brake.

As you can see, each trip to the mechanic is a technical lesson. I get to know how many spark plugs I have, how to check my coolant level etc.

You might give the duh look and roll your eyes. But hey, we learn new things every day right?
