I'm thinkin of becoming a sort of mobile mechanic as I've noticed a few posts on here which suggest that there are quite a few on here who could use some help As I'm semi-retired, I am often at a "loose end" and wouldn't mind visitin fellow bikers to help out with minor repairs, MOT prep and general maintenance. I am not quite solvent at the mo (but in a few weeks will be) but I would be willing to travel to help out for the cost of petrol and a cuppa or 2 (maybe a meal if it takes a while) This is a serious offer not a joke post Let me know, I'll watch this post.

hey yep that's cool - I've got a drive that we could work on (weather permitting) other than that it may mean that I need to pull me finger out & get the garage tidied up a bit & then we could get both bikes in - well maybe not...maybe just working on one at a time Unless you've got space at yours Kaz?
