    When working on the bike it's good to have 3 or more hands!

    Needed some assistance with the 100,000km service on the BMW today. Good to have the kids on holiday. Here they are helping me check/adjust the valve clearances.

    Good one mate!
    Best thing about that pic is the smile on the kids face and the time your making for him. For he will never forget it.
    On a Motorcycle you're penetrating distance, right along with the machine!! In a car you're just a spectator, the windshields like a TV!!

    No he's upset because he has to hold the feeler gauges when he'd rather have the spanner and hex key..... Told him his job is arguably the most important. Having twin boys they both want to help so end up removing stuff just so they can screw it back on

    Yes bmw's have alot going for them in that department. Even a 4yo (or two) can do it . Takes longer to check the valves on my Yamaha XT600 too.
