Title: I'm anything BUT an expert!
Post by: Drew400 on February 23, 2015, 01:22:30 PM
It seems that this forum (that I like and respect) now regards me as an SOHC Expert.

Those of you who have read, and in many cases kindly responded to my posts, will know that I am anything but an SOHC expert! Whilst I will accept but not revel in this (automated?) new accolade, I won't be adding it to my CV for fear of being found out.

However, confession is good for the soul!

I know, number of posts generates these lovely accolades, yet for me the longer I spend on this forum, the more I realise the vastness of my ignorance of the details of sohc bikes. Sure I can nail one together, get it through an mot, and think it's a nice fairly original bike, but the real experts would rapidly spot it was a multitude of wrong year bits, or wrong continent etc.

 ;D ;D ;D I had similar thoughts Drew when I saw I had reached the dizzy heights of expert. I was tempted to ask Steve to reset the counter just in case someone asked a question and expected me to know the answer !!!. If I had reached that grade for what I had learned from others that would be fine and more appropriate.

You do realise that expert in this case is read as two words:-

Ex--------As in used to be

Spurt----As in a Drip under pressure

Hi,
   Yes-brilliant answer.
    After spending all my working life in engineering, I continued "learning" right up to retirement

Actually I think after you have completed a ground up restoration, it makes an expert out of you. Perhaps not a Guru though  :).
