Time for cheaper repairs?

[Virago]

You're attracting a fair amount of skepticism over your venture. People are wary of "backyard mechanics", and rightly so. The questions being asked are all valid - you need to address them.

Do you have any qualifications to support your work?

Is this a "cash venture", or are you registered as a business?

Im curious as to the range of tools at your disposal to perform this work, and what access you have to a range of manuals etc, so that you can ensure you are using correct torque specs and the like. - or do 'older/less than valuable' bikes only need the ol' "finger tight plus a quarter turn" approach?

Well as a few months ago he couldnt work out chain length I would be skeptical.

Hey,
I am posting here for those (particularly those with older/less than valuable bikes) that would be interested in a cheaper place to get your maintenance/work done.

So to get started, I am doing spark plugs, oil changes, and general maintenance such as that.. as well as carb cleans & syncs for the multi-carb bikes.

Also have onboard a certified refinisher that can do fairing repairs, tank & fairing paint, etc. at a good price.

Can also do thorough clean and polish jobs.

Auckland based.. car&trailer available for bike pickups at an additional cost.

For any questions, feel free to ask here, and PM me if you'd like a price quote on a job.

Cheers

good luck. If you want some excellent business mentoring just hit me up.

Five buck and a bag of chips per 6minutes or part thereof, plus sundries and expenses.

Do you give a prompt payment discount ... ???

Did not get a good feeling reading your pitch. I also think your targeting the wrong set of riders.

If you want to cater to the bottom feeders, post this in the scooter forum. Cagers on Chinese Mopeds would be good targets to start with while you build up your skills/business. Some shops won't even touch these Mopeds so you might also talk to some of the local shops about referring that work to you.

THAT "Motorcycle" class ... don't have any money ... that's why they ride them ...

Aint it the truth ...

Not to mention ... experience on more than HIS model of motorcycle ...

He is obviously a registered KB member ... is there a minimum time before "Expert" status is achieved .. ???

I just want to PAY less ... you getting less does not bother me ...

Well as it was January and its now end of August I would be skeptical of you using the term "a few months"

as long as you understand the 1:1 correlation between me getting less and you getting less.

From you ... less is not only normal ... but expected. And would expect no more.
