My new bike needs work. The tires are shot - the rear is showing cords. The front brakes squeal so they need to be changed. Sense this bike is going to be used on the track I plan to swap the brake lines for steel braided lines so I wont have any brake fade. No biggie right? Not really but this is important stuff that needs to be done correctly. If the brakes don't work the bike does not stop. I like to stop so I would not like that outcome.
So while I want to do the work myself I really wanted some supervision. I don't really need it. It is a comfort thing. So yesterday I decided to 'man up' and just get it done this weekend. Then oddly enough I read this on instapundit: JOBS AMERICANS WON'T DO. It isnt about working on brakes. It talks about being handy. Read it yourself so you'll know what I'm talking about.
Anyway, after I finish up some coding I'm doing for myself I'm going to go throw the bike up on its stands and getting the work done. Of course the fun bit is that I can't really ride the bike a whole lot after I change the lines - the tire needs to be replace too and I don't plan on buying new tires until next week!
