A lot of people (I work with) are surprised that I work on my own bike (car too). I take pride in knowing about the bike or car that I'm operating. I may not know as much as someone else, but I know more than some.

Kawi toolkits come incomplete? The 954's kit is excellent though I've added hemostats and a razor boxcutter to it

We don't need to know about your roach clip and coke cutter buddy!

What? Never accidentally drop a screw down a velocity stack? Or needed smaller fingers to grip something? Hemostats are a great addition to any toolkit lol
