For Christ's sake, buy the kid a set of T handles!

Dick about it? See above... I do agree on the T-handles though.

Derf, it's good to see someone else working with their kids in the garage. It can sometimes be frustrating stopping and explaining things. And, not working at the pace you normally would. But, it's completely worth it in the end.

That's why my friends don't come over when I'm working on stuff. I'll take the time to stop and explain what I'm doing whether they want to hear it or not. LOL

I'm the complete opposite, I almost can't stop. Vic gets mad at me all the time cause we were supposed to do mods together and I'm like "what? You passed me tools." Lol

It's why I now don't work on bikes at the track. That garage is too large, and open to other humans walking through. Do you have any idea how often Bo or Evan have advised people to walk away from me.... and said person somehow tries to take tools away from me to "help"

The kids are great, they are curious and actually interested in working. Other people are just curious.

I can see Bo or Evan warning bystanders to keep their distance, but for someone to actually try to take tools from you? Wow, I'd pay money to see that. I'd imagine that would get a pretty sharp retort, if not a torque wrench upside the head.

Dick about it, naw, he just needs to learn the value of hard work. Actually I just cant bring myself to buy a set when I have every size I already need.

I could have been done in under 2 hours if I didnt have help, with help it took almost 2 hours o get the body off

That's pretty good... quick little bugger.

Now that my kid has his own big bike, I hardly even have to ask him to help with anything in the garage.
This morning he sent me a text to let me know we need safety wire before we hit the track day next weekend, because my bike wouldn't pass tech.

I wasn't being serious about the dick comment. I was busting Derf's chops for "forcing" his kid to use sub-par tools.

I agree 100% with the hard work.

I also thought the same way about the "L" shaped allens, for a while.

All it takes is one nick in a new paint job or enough times getting frustrated over having to stop, remove, rotate hand and reinsert the tool, and you'll find the nearest Harbor Freight.
