You are correcting and R & R-ing (remove and restoring) a lot of what I would call neglect and abuse on a motorcycle. Routine maintenance would have kept the bike in good riding condition and things like the brakes and clutch would never have deteriorated to the condition you are seeing. I'd be willing to bet none of your bikes would ever reach the condition this bike was in when you bought it.

My world is what surrounds me, people and objects. Being spiritual is good, but even a nice forest needs care and not littering, in spite of being something that could bring you a "spiritual" experience. I'm creating MY nice world around me when I take care of everything around me. The Universe will be as I do, mine at least (most of the time, bad luck is there everyday too).
There's something out there I baptized as "The Law of Chaos". It's not the mathematic theory of chaos. What I mean with this is there is this factor in the universe and its laws imposing that everything will cost you double the effort most of the time. I'm really prepared to FAIL GREATLY ALL THE TIME. I know about this chaotic law that's out there getting horny with the idea of a thread going mangled, a hose breaking out, my dog eating my special-sized o-rings, myself losing some special, unique screw that costs 70€, whatever that thing can get to make my life worse. And having that in mind is basic not to go really deep into the apathy abyss.
So, I work at least double to get things nice, and that makes my life itself a nice place.
And that's why I like to work my stuff like this, it makes my life nicer and easier, even costing two or three times the expected effort.
