Older Bikers, Remember when??
sanding the shoes on Drum brakes when they got slick and wouldn't stop, STP to cut down the smoking, Sandblasting spark-plugs when they fouled out. filing your points with a match book, Making your own plug wires, Painting your bike with spray cans. Making all your own gaskets from a tide box, using a pair of vice-grips for a shifter, Anybody got some more?
