The photos are all from after we finished (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce

The inspection, which is our specialty, is complete, so let’s get right into the tire replacement and fork OH! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

When it comes to protection, you cover things. When it comes to covering, you think helmets. When it comes to covering…
wheel covers ( \uff9f\u0414\uff9f), right? <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can never over-protect.
I’m finally starting to understand that protection is about getting maximum results in minimal time.

Making plates with a shearing machine is faster for assembly than measuring with calipers (‘\u03c9’)\u30ce<\/p>\n\n\n\n
