Well, it's definitely not my height, hahahaha ๐Ÿฅฒ

But I'm pretty good at ~~not giving up~~ getting obsessed with a problem and basically bashing my head against the wall until the wall gives in.

Or until a new problem steals my focus.

Like, I have no mechanical experience, but I did a valve adjustment on my motorbike.

99% of people either ignore their valves or have the dealer make the adjustment. You and I are top 1% of motorcycle owners.

It's a mission right. Definitely not something I want to be doing very often. But I did save a bunch of cash and extended the life of my bike.
