Here is an idea. Don't look at making money as your primary goal, but rather as a bi-product of helping others like Total Motorcycle does. You don't make a lot of money, but the feeling of happiness you get from helping so much is more than worth a pile of printed paper. :D

For example, helping others to ride or experience motorcycling on the back of your bike or going to a school to teach childern about the joys of riding would be very rewarding...

Humm, I'll have to try those out in the spring. :D

The rental service is a great idea, but the initial capitol to open it would be a bear. Forget the fleet, you also need a retail shop to store them, so that means rent, insurance, employees.....

a simpler way to start if you're mechanicly inclined is you could buy beaters, fix them up and resell at a profit.

I want to offer custom painting, like flames and such on tins and helmets.
