time than money, or just plain more "stubborn-ness"

When the clutch on my Ranger needed replacement I paid my brother's
shop to do the job even though I'd done hundreds of clutch
replacements in my younger years. At 60 I wasn't going to roll around
under the truck on a creaper to replace it.

Going on 70 that's what I really like about bikes -- you don't have to
get under the damn things. Worse comes to worse you can just lay down
next to it.

A lot of the bike riders do just that, though not necessarily
intentionally, at high speed out on the highway.
