ONE MORE COMMENT;
AT THE $50 PER HOUR THAT MANY MECHANICS CHARGE (AND ARE WORTH) IF YOU
SAVE MORE THAN 15 MINUTES WITH THE BOOK, YOU HAVE SAVED MONEY. OF
COURSE IF YOU REALLY ARE CHEAP, YOU CAN COPY THE BOOK AND THEN RETURN
IT. I BET ITS BEEN DONE MORE THAN ONCE. BOB WAS A VERY UNIQUE GUY AND
THE BUNCH AT THE ROADSTER FACTORY WERE SUPER IN PRINTING A BOOK THEY
KNOW HAS LIMITED APPEAL. JUST ASK BRITISH VICTORIA AND MOSS HOW MANY
TRIUMPH BOOKS THEY HAVE PUBLISHED. SOMETIMES I THINK THERE IS TOO MUCH
BITCHING ABOUT A FEW BUCKS ON THE LIST. JMO
