Tune Up Tuesday
In Charlotte, there is a local motorcycle group called CLT Assembly. It is just a bunch of folks with all different bikes and personalities. It is actually a very fun group. One feature which I really enjoy is called Tune Up Tuesday.
Tune Up Tuesday allows for anyone to fix or get some help fixing their bike. It may be as simple as an oil change or fork oil. The member opens up his house (and his garage) to those who may not have the tools, the space, or the knowledge to fix a bike. Yes, it is also a social event! He supplies beer and hotdogs/hamburgers.
I never really gave it much thought since I have tools and the space for repairs but what about those people who live in a condo or an apartment. This gives them another option instead of going to a dealer or repair shop...especially for simple things.
I personally think it is a great idea and wish when I was in college, had an option such as this. If interested, just click over to the CLT Assembly Facebook group and keep a look our the the event. It "usually" is once/month but due to heat or cold, a month may be skipped.
