[Irish]

What I used to do was to make out a work order on each bike that I worked on. When a bike came into my shop , I could usually tell if it had ,been worked on before. I would get out the OLD work orders & on some things if they had already been done , why charge the customer again? I kept all of the work orders in a folder & all I had to do was check by S/N & engine #. Of course a biker looks at problems that might occur & most shops are looking only to make money! It might sound like I'm ragging on shops here-I AM. there's a BIG difference between a shop that's not run by a rider! I was fixing something wrong( in a shop) & the owner chewed me out for doing something that wasn't on the work sheet! I figured-If it's wrong-Fix It. With my shop , I called the owner & asked if they wanted it fixed. Irish
