I’m jelly. I usually get put on small hands duty when we’re all working on cars, but those can reach into even tighter spaces than I can!

It’s a 1973 Honda CL450. It was Honda’s first attempt at a high performance bike. DOHC engine making up to 47 hp. Uses torsion bars instead of valve springs. Also has a tubular frame instead of a stamped one like the 350s. Finicky for a Honda but lots of torque and not all that common. I bought it in pretty bad shape for cheap. Deleted the battery and made my own capacitor, so it’s kick start only now. I stripped the paint off the tank, and am thinking about painting it with copper leaf paint.

I haven’t had to use my magnet wand in years. Problem is they don’t undrstand the concept of trying to avoid getting grease all over themselves. If something looks dirty they make sure to rub their hands in it.

Yea the jokes on me. The first little incline and the tire spun so I had to give it a push. Time for some grip tape

Nope, some 45" super swampers is what you need.

I have big hands (need 2xl gloves at work), and I know no one with small hands. Working on my car sucks, I need hire a part time child with small hands.

You could have a tiny gear on the motor and big gear on the wheels.
