Local retail motorcycles stores are not likely to enjoy having a co-op around that compete with their business. Make sure you have a good supply of consumers or comunity of motorcycle enthusiasts.
BTW, you don't want to work on your bike when you're buzzed or drunk.. bad idea. |
yea, im afraid of how costly it would be for customers due to mechanics and liability.. which is why im trying to get feedback from as many people as i can right now. theres only 1-2 local shops around me i think. most are big dealerships that over charge. plenty of riders down in socal fsho
