We have a couple of biker friends who offer some good services to other bikers and frequently come down and work from our place in Newbury. One does mechanical servicing and specialises in Fazers, the other provides a bike cleaning and ACF50 protection service. Both have done a lot of work for people on the www.FOC-U.co.uk, the old style Fazer forum so have a good reputation already.
Slick, the owner and operator of ALL YEAR BIKER travels all the way down from Durham to our place in Berkshire to give you an idea of his commitment. He's been riding for years and currently has a 55,000 mile, yet totally immaculate, Bandit 1200.
Our chum Deefer has been riding from a very early age and is quite handy with his spanners and spraygun, he's recently started up MOTORCYCLE-REPUBLIC and usually operates out of a unit in the Hunts/Northants region. I've lost count of how many bikes he has, A hornet, at least four fazers, an FJ1200, he's always got a couple of projects on the go. He did the white, red and black speedblock paint job on my Fazer.
If you come down to our place when they're here (you'll need to book in with them to be sure of a place), all you have to do is fill your selves with free bacon rolls and tea and chat while they do the work. Or if you want to go for a wander, the town centre is a ten minute walk away and ProBike Yamaha/Suzuki is a five minute walk away.
Whaddaya reckon? Is this the sort of thing you'd be interested in? Further details and prices are on their respective websites and are very good for what you get! They don't charge name dealer prices and put far more attention into their work than the 'Big Boys' have time to.

Shortly after moving up to the North East I opened Romic Coatings Ltd. From an industrial unit in Shildon we provide wet spray painting and coatings to local steel and fabrication companies.
...it's been suggested a few times that I could use spray equipment to offer some form of anti-corrosion service to other bikers. I really liked the idea of that and looked into the sort of service I could provide. So the 'All Year Biker' idea came about. The aim is to offer as high a standard of protection for motorbikes against corrosion as is available on the market today. Having researched and tested ACF-50 I believe, in combination with the pressure spray equipment we use, that this is the best you can get. The interest generated during the first couple of weeks meant that going mobile was the next logical step.

Motorcycle-Republic offers everything for the Independently minded biker, from Bike repairs & servicing to full bike rebuilds, resprays. We sell service kits for bikes for those that want to service their bike themselves, we even have bike benches to rent out by the hour at our own Bike Barn for those that like to service their own bikes, but don't have the space or the tools to do it.
We run day courses in basic bike maintenance, and offer day courses for you to "pimp your ride" with new bodywork, stainless steel fastener kits, new led light kits, in fact any of those bright and sparkly bits you might have bought but never had the confidence to fit.
