This kid gives me hope…

…hope in the younger generation…as well as hope that I can someday change the fork seals on my own bike. I know grown men (and women) with jobs and money and resources, who don't feel comfortable adjusting the chain on the their motorcycles. Or who, like me, take their bikes to the track but do not change the fork oil for years and years. Meanwhile here's this kid sitting in a parking lot changing fork seals with a hammer and a screwdriver. And while he could probably use a clean indoor work space and some tools from Race Tech…nevertheless, he seems to do a pretty decent job with what he's got! He's like the MacGuyver of motorcycle maintenance. So thanks for showing us what the job entails, and for giving us hope in the young people of America. Cheers.
