My g/f's dad is like that.

He can't spell worth a crap, nor does he have an extended vocabulary, but man, can he diagnose a problem with anything mechanical.

I remember he bought Harley parts from various swap meets. He must have had 10 or so big boxes in his garage, with pistons, con rods, transmission gears, etc. splayed out all over.

A few weeks later, he had built himself a really cool rat bike with the old school foot clutch/jockey shift setup. He rode that bike to a motorcycle rally about 150 miles and parked it in a sea of other newer, custom-built garage queens.

Guess which bike had the most attention ??

I think there are some people who are wired different from what we consider the norm, kinda like musicians.
