    Loan section

    How about a sub-section of the Bike Mart bit for someone who needs a specific piece of kit (fancy or otherwise) and doesn't want, or can't get access/ afford to purchase for a one off.

    An example might be me! might someone in the greater Devon (or surrounding counties) area have a single Bike trailer they wouldn't mind loaning out for a week in the Summer? say mid-late August

    But others might want/ need a welder or grease gun or paddock stand (the list could really go on)

    Just an Idea

    I like the idea. I have even lent my bike to Vader.

    Now, does anyone have any glue they could lend me so I can glue the cracked fairing back together again?

    This has been brought up before and rejected as it was going to be a forum run thing. Where tools etc were concerned as things like who would have what and for how long. Also who would pay for damages. Personally i think in principle it would be a good thing but on the flip side of that coin don't know if i would be prepared to lend some vey expensive tooling to strangers and people i've never met

    The best person to borrow tools from is Chad.

    You turn up at Chad's and he does whatever it was you needed doing to the bike and provides endless quantities of coffee and food, while you lounge around (or in one case I heard of, go for a ride on his bike to try it out).

    Now that's a loan section.

    also when you see him you WOULD bring his tools back or replace if damaged, no worries there!
