the art of motorcycle maintenance

We've been helping Neil work on his old motorbikes - he has so many now (five!) that he can't fix them all on his own. We spend hours in the garage, helping him work out what needs to be done next.
Gracie is showing a keen interest in how things work...

Hold on guys, I'll get the gasket cement...

Here's the screwdriver you're looking for, Neil ...

Gracie delivering the spare gear thingie you asked for...

What would he do without us?

  6. You two are wonderful mechanics and so nice of you to assist Neil. Airedales love to be helpful and pick up tools and tape measures. Sometimes I forget where I leave things.
    Hugs, Miley
