The main thing is that mistake was spotted before anyone was injured and I think there are a couple of lessons to be taken from this -
1. Never rush a job on your bike as it is your life and other road users that could be at risk.
2. Never let Ronz work on his bike without adult.
I couldnt believe what i just read, but ronz will probably never balls up like that again. But even pro,s get it wrong. When eddie lawson crashed in1990 at high speed on the laguna seca racetrack it was found that his mechanic had forgotten to put the brake caliper pins in!!!!!. When kenny roberts said do you want the mechanic sacked, he replied " hell no, he wont do that again"
