I would say 90% ride, 10% work on the thing..
I have to say (knocking on my desk), that my scoot runs very very well. It has never broke down, and the only time I really "work" on it is when I am adding/changing something on it.

Just got mine, in pretty bad shape, so a good ride is kind of a wet dream at this point ;D

Well the starter motor on my Suzuki GS1000S packed it in, and it took me about 30 minutes to replace it yesterday, but I rode it and my BMW for a 100 mile ride each today to circulate the oil and keep the batteries up, (sadly the Yuasa I put in the Suzuki 6 years ago is just about faaarked) so I think I'm still maintaining the average, ha ha! ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"
