You have to start some where.

Yeah true, but if you dont have a natural aptitude or guidance from the beginning youre gonna really screw up.
IE: I wont be sky-diving on my own anytime soon, ill get some background/training first.
When working on your motorcycle, the outcome is the same as the skydiing senerio, youre probably gonna die.

Like many people have asked. "Im still curious to what he was trying to attempt."

I mean if i am try to replace the rear shock and expect the bike to not move after i remove the shock I'd feel like an idiot. He had to imagine what the bike would do by removing a huge bolt at the top of the frame.

Again, it comes down to his intentions...
