Kind of expensive, but not a bad idea for city guys without tools.
This shop is in San Diego. I used to work in a Porsche shop in the same
complex..
I wonder if a guy could hang around with a "mechanical advise" sign?

Years - decades, even - ago, I remember a similar facility in
Stockwell, south London. I remember thinking then that it was a neat
idea. I used it once or twice myself, as we were then living in a flat
in central London with absolutely nowhere but the street outside in
which to fettle bikes. I think it was called The Bike Barn.

What? Don't you *know*, Piggy?
After all, you do this sort of thing for a living.
Or do you just sell NOS Honda side reflectors and water-damaged cell
phones on ebay?

Hey, look! Krusty's unintentionally morphed into Spacker!
How appropriate.

I know. It's amusing, in a sort of pathetic way. Like watching a kid in
his Dad's long trousers, tripping up over the turn-ups.
