Attn Ladies - do you do your own maintenance?

I don't necessarily mean to exclude men, the article is being written for a female audience though and the editor wants comments from females in it.

I'd be interested to hear men's comments as well. Sorry about that.

You meant it you man hater.


I do all my own work unless I absolutely need a special tool.

Went to do a coaching session with a lady on Sat. She went to start the bike...nothing. Battery dead (8 yrs old.....)

Turned it into a learning session. Handed her the tools and showed her how to remove the battery, went over the charging system components. Sent her off to Battery Warehouse and then let her install it and button the bike back up.

The look on her face when she turned the key and the bike started up was PRICELESS. She actually thanked me for showing and letting her do it on her own...she had a great sense of accomplishment and she said that it made the bike "hers" rather than just a thing and it was much less intimidating than she thought.

The next day we had a one hour ride and she was MUCH more confidant. Knowledge is power.

I'd be interested in seeing your article and providing links to it...many of the folks I run into are completely baffled by anything other than putting gas in the tank.
