Are they, though?
I know there's a lot of hyperbole, but just an impression: in your world there are only 2 types of people: liberal arts types, and engineers. The former are all-round useless and don't know anything but liberal arts. They are unproductive. Engineers, brusque, down-to-earth, on the other hand, are responsible for everything good. I don't think that's accurate. There is a lot of overlap. Engineers can't be grouped because a computer engineer can't necessarily design a plumbing system for a house. Also, overlap: engineer can learn French without caring about Baudelaire and without forgetting his mechanical design skills. So if someone is studying French, they might also be able to productively reverse-engineer an engine. An assumption wouldn't work. Additionally, technician occupations (finance, insurance, law, accounts, etc.) are productive in their own way yet aren't liberal arts. And someone who is a retail worker or cleaner is productive yet is neither from liberal arts nor an engineer nor a technician. A politician might be absolutely none of those categories, and unproductive, yet have a plan (e.g. take a bribe, short something with insider knowledge, etc.) |

Daughter #2 returned from a 10 day trip to Canada with a couple of belated birthday prezzies, one of which was a bottle of Crown Royal whisky.
The first sip caught me out a bit, it's rather potent. |

Just got off the phone with Fowlers, I have a chassis number and a much more reliable date, indeed it's booked into
the workshop for PDI and fitment of accessories now. Time to get the Spacker ready to go. Just had a chat and
they are happier having the stock exhaust on it when it comes in. So it's a rush to find someone who can swap them
over in the next couple of weeks. Clocks ticking now but I'll easily get £400+ for the Akra on the used market so
it's worth the expense of a couple of hours labour. I still have the installation guide for the race exhaust so
hopefully that should help the fitter to remove it and whatever brackets and whatnot it has. As far as I can tell it's
an eight bolt job refitting the stock system which is a 1 piece unit with pipe cat and downpipes which mounts underneath
on two sliding fixings. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

So doesn't it make more sense to get the spanners out yourself and save that labour charge too? I'm assuming there's some difficulty somewhere? ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

It does, but I'd sooner not botch something at this late stage so soon before trade in, I'd have to do the job on the
lawn too, I'm sure it would be lots easier if the bike could be lifted. |
I think I'd at least have a go. If you come to something too difficult, seized bolt or whatever, you can always just abandon the attempt, put what you've taken off back together. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017
