And sorry for the tirade Crassius, But I'm a little tired of people with NO patience with the younger people. I also have health issues. My Dr. actually told me I would be lucky to live to my next birthday, That was last August. Having personall issues is no reason to be so angry with anyone simply for being naive.

I see both sides on this....
A MB isn't a model airplane, it's not an average hobby, you can get hurt on a MB! When I read someone saying they forgot to operate the clutch it makes me worry this may be the guy that gets hurt! Sometimes people throw bikes together with no concern for safety and completely lack the basic knowledge of how the bike operates. The builds themselves are unsafe and the riders aren't equipped to handle a mb properly, it's just an accident waiting to happen. We all have read the stories and seen the pictures, "My motor was ripped from my bike and I crashed" "my tensioner went in my spokes and flattened my wheel and face". So I feel no guilt when I tell someone they need to step back and learn the basics about MB's before they jump on and ride...
On the other hand, if someone understands how to safely operate the bike but just can't get it running and someone rags on them for missing something obvious that's not cool. We all make bone head mistakes and overlook the obvious from time to time....
Sorry to hear about your health man, hope you surprise them all and hang in here with us for many many years....
