I will be producing blogs and videos to share online for others to see and possibly go visit.

My clutch lever bracket cracked I don't know how, possibly old age, another repair that had to be done in the rain, think I need to get a pop up gazebo. This is another part of keeping the dero on the road and running for work the next day!

I checked my rear pads and they were worn out after 7000 miles! Here's a 12 minute video in the rain in my garden not a professional garage job but have to replace the pads as you will see! This isn't an instructional video it's just how I do my repairs and keep my bike running.
