I don't have the capital or spare time, and absolutely no business savvy, but in case anyone out there does, have you ever considered opening up a do-it-yourself motorcycle work space? I'll be your first customer when you open.
This thread over in the "For Sale" section got me thinking about starting this thread.
I learned how to wrench at a DIY shop in San Francisco (Welcome to Moto Guild | Moto Guild is equal parts workspace and learning hub. Our 8, square-foot warehouse is accessible, collaborative & affordable for all motorcycle and scooter enthusiasts.), where they provided everything I ever needed (including lifts, and even tire change machines, which I learned how to use). Because of that, I have very few tools - I never needed my own beyond the basic stuff. Now that I live in Boston I'm wondering what I'm going to do when I want/need to work on my bike. I could go out and buy a bunch of tools, but I don't have a good space for working on the bike (after winter the bike will be outside under a covered patio, with a dirt/gravel floor). I have no room for a lift either, let alone a tire changing machine
I know the people behind Moto Guild and they'd be willing to work with someone out here to open one up.
Just thought I'd put it out there in case someone likes the idea.
