Dress for fall & avoid it
Alex, a lot of it is also Brad's style of work and work habits. As you can tell from the videos, he is very measured and meticulous.
The day before he and Chris shot the initial footage used for that series, he did the full 20k Service (plus) on my 2014 RT as a Tech Day for my local Club (much appreciated by everyone who attended).
With working on my dirty bike plus explaining/instructing, he didn't dirty his clothing. I was far dirtier trying to keep up with him as his half-witted assistant.;-)
My bike was not clean at all. I ride in all weather and the bike had been ridden on plenty of dirt and mud roads without being washed prior to the work.
He's definitely far more gifted than me. ;-)

Hey, he is a pilot and we need to be meticulous.
Many of the pilots that I sat around the table with for breakfast drilled themselves into the ground. These are people that trained alongside of me.Anyway, my GS gets dirty. I'm on the road for 6 weeks but it gets washed before doing my maintenance.

Mr. Brad
I'd like to tack on another barrel of ' Thank Yous ' for your maintenance videos! I've been riding and working on motorcycles for 55 years.
What I appreciated THE MOST, is that you showed us how to use the proper tools for the valve adjustment, and THEN... showed us how to do the valve clearance adjustment with only everyday basic tools.
