I completely disagree. Encouraging teens to purchase LBCs is like giving
them a license to be your next DPO. Do you really think they're going to
take the time, or want to, learn how to adjust points, valves, and
everything else associated with routine maintenance? And what about more
complicated work.
Plus, the less you encourage children and teens to purchase LBCs... the more
LBCs there will be for you and me to purchase.
If they already don't know what an MG or a Triumph is, why bother getting
them involved. I don't need to see more bailing wire being used to hold MGs
together in the future.
Let them keep their Hondas...
