On initial read, I would mention the following: Some people might find it weird. I'm a little eclectic myself, and so the 'bike personified' and referred to as such isn't much of a stretch at all, and wouldn't be regarded as overtly strange in the internet group of bikers I most often associate with out in 'real space' (beginnerbikers.org). Intellectual, smart bikers are, as a group, a rather strange group of people, and we all tend to get along with everyone. From a concepts perspective, it reads well.
That said, I like the general writing style, though it tends toward the 'stream of consciousness' end of the organizational perspective. I realize my own blog is somewhat like that, but (at least I think) each 'post' on mine tends to be a bit more stand-alone than what you've written... The headers have some temporal separation, but yours tends to flow more as a 'journal' than a 'blog' with 'posts', per se. I really appreciate the basic understanding of things mechanical and the limits on our abilities to work on our own bikes. One thing I found a bit over the top was the use of parentheticals, which I personally found more disruptive than informative. I understand you're using parallel terminology, and that you're using the parentheses to explain to someone who doesn't get it what you're talking about... but if it's just for you, you don't need it, or if it's for someone else who knows you, shouldn't they get it anyway? Just a thought.
From a formatting perspective, the journal 'system' you're using is very simple, straightforward, and easy to read. Since I'm a bit of a photography nerd in addition to being a motorcycle geek, I needed my format to be a bit more 'web-normal' on the reader's end. Thus, I chose the wordpress blog tool and the format I have at my blog; it's easy for me to update and easy enough for my parents to navigate, which is the basic "how simple do I need it to be" yardstick I use. It's taken a couple of iterations of photography workflow attempts, but I've settled with Adobe Lightroom, as the current version (4.0) makes it very easy to get the pictures from the camera through the basic edits for color, cropping, etc, and then up on the web, all in a very efficient manner.
