That's actually where I'm kinda going with this. But I'm doing it in smaller groups. It can get to be a HUGE pain in the ass when too many people show up at one spot for something like this. Doing it this way keeps all MY shit organized, and I'm garaunteed (I can NEVER spell that right
) to not have a shortage of tools. Not to mention the headaches involved with doing it to suit everybody's needs at once...
I have two objectives here:
1) Of course, to give people a chance to help out the NESR Racing cause....
2) To show people that wouldn't normally try this sorta thing just how simple most of it can be. All it takes is a decent set of tools (READ: the RIGHT tools) and some MINOR mechanical skills, and they can save some serious money...
I'm no mechanic, but I do a lot of the minor shit myself. I learned most of it from just digging in and doing it, along with trial and error. I figure if I can show summa the less knowledgable the easy stuff (that they'd normally pay to have done), they'd be psyched to know it. I'm soooooo tired of hearing people say they dropped their bike off at a dealer for the '*insert mileage here-service' when most of what they REALLY do can be done in a driveway in just a few short hours with a little know-how...
