When you get serious about motorcycling, serious enough to begin spending time and money on it, you begin to pick up a thing or two. Some dive in head first, doing their own engine work or even building their own custom motorcycles, while others pick up the basics on an as-needed basis.

Not being the most mechanically-minded person, I tend to fall into the latter category.
