I was just chatting with my friend Mike, who has a YouTube page The Mighty Garage, where he fixes 50s-60s-70s British bikes.
He also does features on interesting old bikes, like my 78 1000. A reader of TMG commented on the feature of my GS about how he owns 3 GS bikes, but cant find a mechanic to work on them and asked for my advice.
I was not too helpful, as I do the majority of my own work.
But, it got me to thinking. I know most of us do our own work, aided by this forum, Cliffs site and Brian.
But, I think it would be a great service to new and future GS owners if we developed a mechanics registry by state so the new people could get help keeping their bikes running.
Could one of you computer people develop a format, by state for the US and Canada, then by country for our worldwide members?
I think this would be a great boost to our cause. Yes, I know taking your bike to a mechanic is costly, but, its better than nothi g.
