Hey Craig Just found your channel a few days ago. Absolutely fantastic! Your love of bikes and repairing them is infectious. Great to see someone still excited about their work after what I'm assuming has been many years in the trade? Your explanation of the work you're performing completely resonates with me. Keep up the amazing work that you and your team are doing.

Motorcycle tip for Craig, I once used zip ties to fabricate a master link clip of a chain, lost the master link going up a huge mountain pass here in Australia, fixed with zip ties at the top (after pushing the bike uphill for about 2 miles) surprising made it down the steep mountain pass and another 5 hours to where I was going! Never thought zip ties would last that long for a fix, I would have thought they would just melt due to the friction and heat the chain produces!

I've heard you can use a metal rod or something like a screwdriver to listen to the valves and top end of a running bike. By pressing it against the head or rocker cover and putting your ear on the other end. Is this true and is it reliable?
