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.   Em                                                                                                                                                                               

How far are you willing to travel for a cuppa?  Coz my bike needs a full service                                                                                                                                                                               

Like I said, pay teavel expenses an pay 4 parts an materials. Labour is free                                                                                                                                                                                  

Good luck with your new venture, Em!! Loving your spirit   (...and good lucking getting your toolkit through airport security when you go to visit Matt!!)                                                                                                                                                                             

employment offer in the post (1st class!)                                                                                                                                                                             

Dont fly TC (besides no passport) but panniers, top box an tank bag hold most tools I need
