Buying the trail started a new chapter in my 40 plus yr motorcycle ownership, with the trail I decided to do all my own maintenance and repairs. This led to a strange experience for me which is stressing out about working on the bike and I think the reason for that is I'm researching and planning and watching videos about the simplest tasks. All my life I've been a jump off the cliff person just figure it out as I go maybe not the best way but it worked for me. And now I'm psychotically obsessing about changing a tire or adjusting a clutch the simplest of things, and some of you are re-engineering your bike in your garage. So tonight I was breaking a chain to shorten the length, which I watched several videos on btw and it was so freaking easy to do but in my mind it's something motorcycle mechanics do so it must be hard. So I'm officially done with being afraid to wrench on my bike the worst that can happen I break it and watch someone else fix it. I'll still research some things a little but I'm just going to learn the hard way that's always worked before.
