What about a new section called:
Rick'll Fix it!
You could have people write in with random complaints about their classic bike for which you could offer the usual sound advice but for the special case he could have the troubled iron sent to his special shed where he could work some hogwarts like magic (oh know wait, he'll get sued!) just some regular magic and make the owners dream come true. to have an RP fettled machine!
of course each fixed bike would make some great copy and as long as there is no print over the photos even the blind readers ( ) will be happy!
just my six pennorth after reading about how when he sorted the Rex at brooklands some reader remarked " now I know you are not a phoney".
That'll learn him not to wear a motorolla t-shirt!

Only if those criteria are specified by the party of the first part as part of the original request thereof.

Your letter was only the start of it,
one letter and now you're a part of it,
Now you've done it, Jim has fixed it for you, and you and you.
How he never got a part playing the Joker in Batman is beyond me...
Bless his heart, he does a lot of good work for charity.
So can you step into those shoes, Rick?

No, me neither

No not Rick, but Finbar, when Ricks out of the shed fetching a cup of tea, the little scamp.

I thought we'd all agreed that it's Finbar doing the spannering anyway?

Dear Rick,
I was wondering if you'd lend a spot of loctite on my Woodruff Key?
Yours,
Ogri

That would be too easy, and I'd never get to look under it to find all the other bits that have gone missing, other than that, magnetic workbenches are fine if you have no electronics around. But I want Rick to fix it .
