Would anyone be willing to let me borrow a torque wrench?

Ah oops, I figured you did everything yourself on your bikes.
The first bike I had was a borrowed 78 KZ1000 that I had to get running and maintain to be able to ride but that was back in like 1990. Definitely fun times rebuilding the carbs and syncing them as well as all the other stuff I had to do it.
My instructor in school didn't even have us use a torque wrench because he wanted us to rely on feel first because without that how do you know if the torque wrench is broken.
But Brian don't get me wrong, I didn't spend a buttload of money on torque wrenches not to use them, they just don't touch every nut but maybe that'll change. Since this whole back thing I've been using my torque wrenches more and more because my strength has gone down and back up again so I'm out of spec.
