So my Father in-law is a Dominican spanglish speaking mechanic for around 40 years. Started out as a motorcycle Mechanic and moved to 4 wheeled vehicles. He knows motorcycles in and out, but always takes the easy way when it comes to repairs or doing anything. You could say that he is not very detailed oriented. My motorcycle is at his house that is where I am doing all the work on it outside in the freezing cold! I just painted my engine and asked him for help to put it in and he just says that they will do it by himself when he is free because he is very busy. I told him that I will just do it with him because i don't want the paint to get dinged on the frame. and he tells me that I don't know anything about engines or motorcycles and he is a mechanic of 4o years, bla bla bla.. I understand that I am just learning about motorcycles and don't have 40 years under my belt, but that is no way to talk to your son in-law or any person for that matter. given this is not the first bad experience I have had with him, or the first time that he has made me feel like crap when it comes to motorcycles. I think I am just done asking him for anything. Its very disappointing because he knows a ton about bikes and I would really love to learn from him. but he insist on doing things carelessly and the easy way with out trying to teach me things and just cutting to the chase and doing it himself leaving nothing but hurtful remarks. I hope that he changes in his ways and sure as hell hope he does not treat my son like that when he needs help from him with something!
