Finally... the dreaded "oil thread" has hit his forum. God help us all!!I admit that I had to look that one up and now I know that it was an insult.
I won't go on the defensive such that I should go into a list of my dissertations and accomplishments in the automotive, motorcycling, aeronautics, nuclear mechanics or physical science history. I am somewhat published on the web and known in the motorcycle and physics industries, by anyone who cares will find me on the web.Dunning-Kruger Effect
The Dunning-Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which people wrongly overestimate their knowledge or ability in a specific area. This tends to occur because a lack of self-awareness prevents them from accurately assessing their own skills.www.psychologytoday.com
Getting back to the topic at hand, I still say that anyone who cares about cost/competence/other personal issues regarding the maintenance and/or repairs of their R18 (or any other vehicle) should do a bit of research and make their own informed decisions.
