2019 DIY Moto Fix Update with Paul Olesen
Every year I’ve shared my goal’s for DIY Moto Fix, myself, and provided an update to you guys. This year is no different, albeit a bit later than usual. My delay isn’t reflective of how the year is going to go, and I’m actually super excited for many of the things that are in the works. Hopefully, you will be too so let’s dive into the details!

Personal Side
2018 had many ups and downs for me personally. Due to knee surgery late in 2017 (which involved harvesting cartilage from my knee, growing it in a petri dish via stem cells, and gashing my knee wide open and gluing the new cartilage back in place), 2018 was the first year I was on a strict no off-road motorcycle diet. I didn’t think not riding my bike would be too impactful, however, in hindsight I was wrong.

​
What I quickly realized is that I lost one of the few meditative outlets I had (and found effective). To make matters worse my day job as an engineering director turned into an all-day, everyday job from March to July because of a ridiculous deadline we were supposed to meet. By mid-year, I was stressed and drained like never before. 
On the upside, I got engaged to my girlfriend (and business partner: she makes all the photo and video magic happen here) last June, and we’re getting married this June. I also bought into a plane share (I own 1/10 of a 1973 Cessna 172) and started flying again. I’ve found flying to mimic dirt biking in some ways and am currently pursuing my instrument rating. ​
