Because a) it's simply too expensive to pay a mechanic and b) it's hard
to find a good one.

Note that I'm not disputing the fairness of the average mechanic's pay -
only stating that I can't afford it on a regular basis.

Reasons may include
(1) high cost of repairs in the USA
(2) love of the art (many of us are still basically in love with our rides)

For some one in china these should make sense.

(3) not being subject to poor workmanship of others.
(4) not getting ripped off.

Yeah, and this forum is usually all about guys and gals who want to or
need to wrench on their ride, for various reasons.

I, myself, enjoy 1] the satisfaction of doing it myself, 2] the
learning experience that occurs, 3] the $$$$$$$$ saved.
