I'm 51 and have worked on cars/motorcycles since I was about 12. The best lessons I learned were taught by my stepfather. His father opened a Motorcycle store and it grew to a couple stores that sold a verity a things, mostly Motocycle Like Indian, Excelsior, and several other brands. But not Harleys we don't even say that name. I asks him to go to that brands shops once, I got in big trouble.. He worked at the shops before and after the war. He taught me the old was of doing things. Like you fix a part, when you can, not through it away(of course you never through anything away).
The MINI may be different but all the old ways still work(except it is a little more disposable). So your experience will be useful.
We are always ready to help and we never tell some to do a search for an answer. But I will worn you the ribbing and sarcasm can get pretty tough around here. Its all in good fun. I hope we get to meet you at one of the MINI events, like the Dragon.

That's exactly what I meant. Unfortunately, it has been more than a day since I wrote that, and I forget things pretty quickly, so I had to go back and review what I wrote just to make sure.

Lin and Dave sorry to hear you've decided to give up the Bike but the top down on the Mini will be close to the same. I have an old Indian I'm putting together. I know its hard to get rid of the bike.
