The left turn signal was destroyed on the asphalt. To keep the yellow color, he mounted a plastic lemon squeezer and put the light bulb deep inside it!

The engine oil cap was lost. The tragic street solution was a red plastic cap from a water bottle, which is now melting and blackening deep from the extreme engine heat.

Brake pads were completely worn out, damaging the rotor. Instead of buying new ones, the mechanic carved two pieces of oak wood and jammed them deep inside the caliper! The wood is burning from friction.

The rear shock spring snapped. To keep the bike up, he removed it entirely and cut a thick grey PVC sewer pipe to replace it! Zero suspension, just back-breaking.

The exhaust had a giant loud hole. The amateur mechanic didn't weld it, but wrapped it deep with an old aluminum car license plate and tightened it with wire clamps!

The aluminum oil pan cracked at the bottom from the asphalt. Instead of argon welding, the "engineer" filled it deep with a giant chewed bubble gum! The warm oil is leaking it like syrup.

Threads were stripped from overtightening. The mechanic didn't want to open the engine, so he covered the spark plug in red high-temp silicone! The silicone melted and the engine lost compression.

Heavy bolts were lost. The amateur didn't care, but secured the brake rotor with white plastic zip-ties! On the first brake, the plastic will snap, locking the wheel entirely.

The "mechanic" completely broke the plastic tail section where the license plate goes. Instead of buying the part, he took a thin aluminum baking pan, hammered it flat, and bolted it underneath! The plate vibrates like a leaf in the wind.

The OEM aluminum lever broke in a drop. To get home, he took a black kitchen spatula (for flipping pancakes), cut the end, and bolted it to the handlebar! Shifting gears now requires cooking skills.
