That's where the beer helps, it keeps you focussed on maintenance and eventually enough beer leads to the game! Which is only suitably played in the garage or standing next to at bike night.

The only reason it's OK for people to come over and get help working on thier bikes is because I'M here to supervise and make sure everything gets torqued, proper fluids installed, etc.
