For older motorcycles, he will likely want to look at www.advrider.com > Forums > Bikes > Old's Cool (and > Road Warriors for more current models).� Lots to see there about nearly every bike that ever rolled that folks still mess with.� Not so much about tool usage and safety, but more about what other guys are finding and how they're approaching it.� Lots of input and encouragement.

Hi all.

Before my gig started tonight, a young musician co-worker asked if I
knew how to work on cars. Turns out he's interested in learning how to
work on cars or motorcycles. From what I can tell, he knows very
little. In asking how best to get started, I emphasized he learn about
safety, procedure, and correct use of tools. I also suggested the 'net
would be a great resource. Problem is, the 'net can be a source of mis
information too.

I trust the listers here so......

Any recommends of websites, email lists or forums for a young lad
curious of learning about cars? I realize this is one of them, but it
may be that he's leaning towards motorcycles. (classic older types).

Thanks much,

Neil.
