I did something today that literally hurt me on a moral level.
I turned away a customer because of politics. I didnt want to turn him away , in fact I tried to sell him.
But what he wanted was a sticker verifying his motorcycle had been inspected and was safe for the road this year.
Sadly I could provide the inspection at the time but not the sticker.

I am and will be offering a very low cost motorcycle inspection .
For $30 I will go from one end to the other
And check more then I did when I was doing for the state.
From light function and tire wear to lever pull and clutch engagement. I check and test your bikes ride ability and condition.

I couldn’t possibly sell it any cheaper .

So what’s stopping people from getting these low cost check overs . Ones that are the exact same price as the state inspection I was doing last year?

In my opinion it’s lack of requirement , coupled with people wanting to save money in these very trying times .

Should I make my own sticker that say inspected by g&w on said date ?
Should I advertise my low cost check over to promote it more?

Ultimately I want all the riders out there safe .

If you or someone you love owns a motorcycle of any brand and want cheap peace of mind send them our way.
I’d be happy to give them my honest opinion on there motorbike .
No appointment necessary.
Just ride in.

Simple things to show my customers I appreciate their business and patience for this one man shop.

Customer states “intermittent check engine light is on permanently now , I let my son borrow the truck , it came back with the engine light on as well as traction control light and it won’t go over 60mph, and while he had it he smoked in It.”

Code came back for secondary air valve .

Quick repair once the part arrived.
When it was done I parked it outside with the a/c on recirculate and tossed the ozone geny in there for 10 minutes . It cost me little to no time or money to do this.
But it will virtually eliminate the smoke smell.
No extra charge for this , just something I could do to help a good customer.
