genuine professionalism...


at night, i told shinya that i felt weird when i rode my SR in slow speed. he said maybe the rear tyre. after working on the indian and the spike intensely all day, he still didn't mind to change the tyre for me.
 
夜、SRで遅いスピードで走っている時にちょっと変わった症状が出ると話したら、じゃ、リアタイヤ変えてあげるとすぐにタイヤを交換してくれた木村氏。一日中インディアンやスパイクを集中していじっていたというのに、嫌な顔ひとつせず地べたに座って作業。
 
shinya went for a test ride and got what i meant. then niimie went for a test ride and he got what i meant, too.

テストライドに行って戻ってきた木村氏が、その変わった症状がどんな症状か分かってくれた。N美氏もテストライドに行ってくれて、変わった症状出た~と戻ってきた。

then they tried to figure out all the possibilities but it was kinda rare case...

その後二人で一通りやってくれたけど、稀なケースらしい。
 

but of course they pinned down the cause, made it better for now and ordered the necessary parts for later. their professionalism, efficiency and kindness is reassuring. it's a work of art.

でももちろん最終的には原因を突き止めてくれ、今できる限りのことをしてくれた上に必要なパーツもオーダーしてくれた。ありがとう!単にオートバイが好きな人というのを超えた、手際の良さ、プロ意識みたいなものをこの二人に見たような気がする・・・って、当たり前か、じゃなきゃキャノンボールとかやんないよねー普通。うんうん、どっちかって言うと変態だね。

i met a very old man once on his 1950s AJS......i said i had a weird problem with the rear of my 1950 norton....if im at a low speed or if im over 60 mph (not very often) i felt unsure like i have a bad shock absorber in the rear....(not shock but plunger...garden gate frame)....

he said...stop looking at the back and look at the front. if you feel it in the rear it comes from the front and if you feel it in the front it comes from the rear.... depends if under power or under brakes....

next time i was at low speed i loosened the steering damper......no problem.

next time i was riding as fast as i could i tightened the steering damper.....no problem.

i love motorbikes.

matt machine: ah! they said the same thing. i felt something in front and they said it must coming form the rear and checked the rear. but this time, the problem was coming from the front. anyway, i love motorbikes, too.
