A motorcycle.

Yes.  Not certain it will ever come about.  But the plans are in motion.  Prices, costs, tools, all sorts of doubts.  To be honest, I was more concerned with picking the bike up after a fall.  Going to happen.  Then I looked around.  Oh, I realized, it isn't a pure deadlift, or bench press, thing.  Even so, I wasn't sure.  Now, while I have almost no stamina, I still have a good deal of serious physical strength.  Good for a short operation... to include picking up a bike.  Plus, I looked around.  There is a method or three to it.

Once that was out of the way, I wanted to look up some other things.  Modern automobiles are beyond the ken of most people.  The Xterra?  Not sure.  Though I may end up trying to figure out how to change my oil on that.  The rest?  So far, no problems.  But... for the most part... I'm not secure in working on that.  But a bike?  Maybe.  At least for some things.

Here are a few ideas of what might be possible.  There are other services that are rather possible, with a motorcycle.  As mentioned, I don't have every tool I would like.  But I do have quite a few tools.  Including small to larger torque wrenches, most standard sockets and wrenches, even a mechanical impact wrench... though I may have a weaker cordless impact?  Maybe.  Anyway... I have quite a collection of tools.  Not pro-level, Snap-On... or such.  But enough for a single bike, or bike and suv.  As, I suspect, I learn on the bike, I may transfer that to the Xterra.

Some videos.  The thing is, as you learn more, you either do more, or back out, back off, and change directions.  Biking, itself, will go that way too.  Though, hereabouts, biking is pretty much limited to six months of the year, maybe eight.  Though, on drier years, maybe even more if one can sort out the cold.  But... a starter collection for ideas on what can be done.  Further, what isn't shown, is break bleeding (using a compressor loader, so a one-man job) and changing a tire, down to taking  off the tire, and repairing tubes, as needed.  But, those too, are required... because of the off-road factor.  Here you go.

Well?  It's possible.  The tools, currently, I am obtaining... while sort of focusing in that direction, are also good general use.  Depending on what I find out, regarding getting a license, purchasing options, and gear costs... that will dictate buying, or not, more specific tools in the future.  I must say, newer bikes seem... scarce.  I have seen "new bikes", though, which are several years old?  Couldn't sell them.  But, at near new prices?  No... I wouldn't buy a bike that has been sitting in a shop for three years, at almost any price.  But... will just have to see.  I'll spend months looking at what is available, new and used.  I'll take my time.

Anyway... just wanted to looks some things over, check some things out, and share what I had found.  Even if you have no such plans, who doesn't sort of like to see how things work, and imagine various ideas, and maybe living a little, if vicariously.  I'm not genius, or wise, and this may be a bad plan.  But... it's... a plan.  My plan.  Enjoy my plans, even if they only end up as mere dreams?
