If you're picking up roadies they are going to be thankful either way.
Not always so. When looking to expand one's customer list it can pay to service event rides and offer business place (as it is post C19...) visits. I've done event service quite a few times and one goes from being bored to totally overwhelmed way quickly. The few mobile guys I've talked to have suggested they couldn't survive on single customer visits. But we can dream. Andy (who would rather have his shop out of sight of the customer)
