Vancouver Motomethod shop, great shop or greatest shop?

Sort of a repost guys, I am aware of the chatter about the Sanfrancisco version of the idea(motoshop)

but HFL had a great article about vancouver's motomethod, just wanted to get you guys to watch their video. Its a really great idea, as you can see with ducati's plans to make small changes to their dealership's the community/hangout/open to the public vibe is really catching on in the motorcycle business community. I love the idea behind this, however, what, if any, drawbacks are involved? Anyone considering going out on a limb and creating one of their own? Lease out the space and tools you have in your ducati cave for extra scratch?

what do you guys think?

Good post. Is there anything out your way that is similar?

Motogrrl and Ryders alley are garages that offer monthly parking and other services such as discounted towing, track day services, motogp viewing parties.... Included with the parking in motogrll are gear storage spaces, outlets for tenders, tools etc. You can rent a jack and borrow tools etc etc.

still seemingly no comparison to the services offered by these two new community based shops.

However, it seems to me the brooklyn hipsters would jump all over this kind of thing. Most of those handlebar mustache/fixed gear bicycle types also have ancient vespa scooters and no money; they would love something like this.

Maybe there are more here than I am aware of...
