MOTORRAD Podcast Curve Discussion Episode 5
The workshop

To screw or not to screw, that is the question. When it comes to the workshop, it quickly becomes clear that there is a fine line between joy and frustration. We recommend: Isolate yourself in the workshop and listen to our latest podcast episode.

Episode # 05 – The Workshop

Is motorcycle maintenance more than a winter issue? And what is actually not a safety-relevant component on a motorcycle? Johannes Muller and Ferdinand Heinrich philosophize about maintenance and repairs on their own. There is a lot to be said for it, just as much against it and sometimes it may be the only option.

“Screw because no legal protection insurance …”

When asked when he last screwed, MOTORRAD editor Johannes Muller answers: “I screw all the time! Almost too much.” At the beginning of his screwdriver career, he says he even has his Hercules “screwed to death” … Our condolences. Johannes and Ferdinand talk in general about the really big questions, such as “Screwing is part of motorcycling?” – the answers are varied. And what is screw anyway? Fastening the mounting plate for the tank bag to the tank cap counts as screws. Or does it only start when you change the oil? Johannes has come to tinker with the wiring harness himself – with indicators, horn and light! Well, whether that works then is another matter …

Sometimes screws are simply necessary because the wallet allows nothing else. Or because you hit the toilet when buying a used item, but you don’t have legal protection insurance. In any case, the workshop series manages without a service booklet and without dogmas, but with a lot of joy and frustration. And what about cleaning? Yes yes, it’s ok. Hear for yourself.
