Funny, I agree with a lot of what you have to say Steve, but, I will
through in my $0.02(u.s.). I would happily glue myself to the TV for an
hour or more watching a guy (or gal) adjust valves, replace a cam chain,
hone a cylinder, jet carbs, talk about pros and cons about  EFI etc.

There is just something about seeing someone do something rather then
read about what they did. Of course, words are not my strong point so
YMMV.
