    I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

          You don't think the transmission oil is getting into the eng. oil, is it? That would be tragic.

            I always find it oddly re-assuring to find lots and lots of lovely oil up top.
