You're right. I still remember and use skills my Dad taught me when I was 17, working on an old T100.
Learning in this way probably also helps in developing good problem solving skills which stand you in good stead for the rest of your life.
The Guzzi's particularly good to work on with its engine layout - all you do is pull up a stool, sit down and get on with it!
Nice to see 29 Normandy's garage again! See you this weekend bro.
You're so right, most people I know did the same, I remember helping a mate change the head Hewlett on his GPz750 turbo when we must've been in our late teens, how it ran afterwards I still have no idea!
Aaaaaaaaaargh! So much for 'Smart phones', that should read head GASKET!!!!! Aaaaaaargh!
Ha ha - I was thinking 'Hewlett - is that like a Heron head' or something but didn't get as far as to Google it. Sadly, comments can't be edited so your Hewlett head will live on in glory forever! BTW have done your CD of Imola pics so will post to you after Christmas.
