Hi All

My '06 Uly needs a new front rotor, pads, caliper pistons cleaned, new fluid, etc. The rotor is pretty badly scored - it's possible that it could be sanded or honed to usability, but the pads are completely contaminated, so it's pretty scary to ride right now...

Unfortunately where I'm living my driveway is a mix of mud and gravel, and I'm pretty short on tools. I live in Rockland county, right next to the (ex) Tappan Zee bridge. I was wondering if there's anyone with a shop space and the tools to get the front end off the ground so the wheel could come off to get the job done.

I'd happily pay in beer and/or money for some help in getting this done. I don't really like giving my bikes to mechanics, and I definitely don't know a mechanic I feel comfortable handing a Buell over to.

Anyway, if anyone can offer an assist, I'd really appreciate it. I'll bring all the consumables and parts of course. And the beer.
