I replaced the crankbearings myself. Does that qualify?

What are these "Oil", "Tires", and "Brakes" things of which you speak?

Well, helloooooo there, you good-lookin' silver beastie!

What's a nice motorcycle like you doing in a place like this?

Let me take you away from all this!

Ah, memories! That first meeting, the first ride, the first oil change...

The biggest thing Iv witnessed people over look is tire pressures.

I think daily micro-cleaning of your motorcycle is the best preventative medicine. One speck of dust, one blob of grease, one drop of oil...

I know it well enough if I were to get another BMW I'd replace the fuel quick connect male end with the $27 metal version first thing.

I just turn the knob thingy and push the button and it starts right up, what's to know? I trade them in before they need oil changes or tires.
