    Oh hell! We trust Bells' girlfriend more than we do him when it comes to turning wrenches [​IMG] I don't even want to count the number of times I had to let him use my 5 mm tap (almost always after he was holding a torque wrench odly enough)!

    BTW he's still for sale.

    You have to add:

    Drive home rig with busted-up, out-of-mind BF/husband/significant other moaning in passenger seat.

    Work two jobs to cover racing debt.

    Help busted-up, out-of-mind moaning bf/h/so take shower and get dressed.

    Haul bf/h/so to doctor for follow up.

    Explain to kids (if applicable) why daddy makes even less sense than usual.

    etc.


    If we expand the competition to include serious wrenching, like rebuilding bike after crash or replacing top end, it will be pretty tough to beat Melissa Berkoff and LaVaughn Montgomery Daniel.

    They're smart enough to use a tire cart.

    now this is funny [​IMG] my melissa would even like this one....

    JU you're killin'me here (or not here) on the bbs...very different from my first impression at valvoline school...(you know...where you walk in and give the 'no crashing/you can't get ride here' speech & fwiw, your explanation of why is understood well.) oh btw, berkoff doesn't count...only because she's a racer, don't know the other...

    The Team Hammer School at Summit Point in 96 was my second encounter with a racetrack, the first being a Reduc track day the previous weekend. I think it was right there and then that I realized I'd never amount to anything in racing.

    That sounds like a woman I know. She also revives mal-nutritioned team owners/125 racers surviving on Diet Cokes and Power Bars.

    And has acted as medical help for innumerable stupid riders who do things to themselves after the ambulances have gone, or when tire guys take off parts of digits and no one wants to lose and ambulance, and when, and when, and when....

    You know, your wife is one of the coolest people I've met through this weird addiction of ours (the racing one rather than the BBS one), and that's saying a lot given that overall the percentage of good people are higher here than most places.
