Sully and ScottS both have a good idea. I'm just not sure it would work. There are plenty of home mechanics out there that have a wide range of tools. You could get some of them to sign up for your program, but the majority might not be willing to go along with it. The mechanics out there are in a different boat. They never know what bike is next, nor do they know the nature of the repairs it may need. So shipping out a given tool may put them and the shops they work for in a bind. Paying for the tool is not the only issue. Even though "Joe Blow" may have payed me, that dosen't mean I can just go down to the local Ace hardware and pick up a new one. Most need to be ordered, and that takes time. Time becomes very relevant when "Little Johnny's" bike is not ready for race day because the mechanic loaned his tool to Joe Blow. My point is, as a mechanic, I just can't loan out my tools for a week or more. It's not good for me, my customers, or my business.
:clue: BUT, I am always willing to help a fellow motorcyclist in need. If you live near me and need something, feel free to e-mail me and I'll do my best to help you out.
You could try to make a list of mechanics and home mechanics who feel the same.
