Sup @jlsplatts,
really cool saturday story. I recently experienced my passion about DIY. I bought an old Vespa from 1967 and had to redo the whole engine.

I think you start realizing that DIY is a good thing when you experience something, which you repair or build and do not get frustrated all the time. In the end you are double proud for the result!

Btw. what do you do with the wooden wheels?
And F***, 20k steps are amazing.
Keep up your DIY saturday,
Cheers
