Yes YES  and YES I love it.

Spent the last 20+ years of my life working as a mechanic and I still love to repair things.

Last year I moved into management, had to take my tool boxes home (nice to have a fully functional work shop at home  Bigsmile)

Now I spend my time at work managing people and turning wrenches only when home.

So Yes I "get to" do all the work on my machines and several others as well.

Life is good

Yes I like wrenching on things. However it almost always goes bad since I had to learn on my own.

Need a couple of wrench sessions to see how things are done correctly to truely enjoy it.

I love working on my bikes.  I hate trying to fit it in between kids and all they have going.  Not enough time in a day really.  But some of the best times were rebuilding my GS750, I loved that stupid ugly bike.

I enjoy it a lot.  Infact I wouldn't have it any other way.  Spinning wrenches and modifications really make not only my motorcycle habit but my car habit that much more enjoyable.

I hate it. But I'll do the minimum necessary, if only out of necessity.

I was so pleased when it rained last week that I put  the ST out in the driveway, and now it looks mono-colored.
