Who would ever have thought Steve's vast mechanical knowledge would be quoted across the internet?

"I've been wondering the same thing. I think Steve Matthes said he used muriatic acid."

That sounds like a possible permanent thread "Ask Steve" or simply "Steve Mechanical Knowledge"

That's amazing really. The problem with giving out mechanical advice on-line is it opens you up for trouble when the guy you're giving the advice to screws it up.

Except when Bikebandit.com comes and offers you a bunch of cash to do them on-line!

Would this "Ask Steve" thread involve Steve answering questions about everything? Like dating advice, life coaching or best place to get a burger? If just Mechanical could maybe Watson have his own Thread?

Probably should just be "Ask Steve" and should cover everything, a disclaimer should accompany each reply, somewhere in the disclaimer should state for humorous purposes only, if your bike, life, or jobs fails from Steve's advice Pulpmx isn't liable, if your burger, iPad, or admiration for Tim Ferry is oversold by Steve, pulpmx again not liable.

Re: Watson, he's got to post to get some forum love, unless he is secretly "Grendel"

Watson is most definitely not Grendel. lol, you should see him trying to type and his spelling is amazingly bad. I love it, he makes me laugh. Hart is making him take computer classes.

Question for Steve...

Will we have the bear infestation problem they have at that other place?

Second question, how can we indicate our sarcasm without emoticons? Wink

If Watson is really taking computer classes can we get his teacher as a guest on the show?

I would like to see a video of what factory mechanics do to a bike between races. Not so much the engine work(4 stroke) but cleaning, lubing, chassis, clutch etc. Maybe Maxima could sponsor the project?
