Top level tags for the main functions of motorcycle rentals, parts and repairs make sense and are less confusing. In the case of a shop that primarily sells motorcycles, adding extra tags when it also sells clothing, parts, service, and inspections is fine as well. However, one could make the argument that a top level tag of shop=motorcycle with subtags to determine what particular type of shop it is also makes sense and I think that's what the writers of this preset are trying to achieve. As for the sale tag, I think removing it or ignoring it altogether is the best approach. -- Dave Swarthout Homer, Alaska Chiang Mai, Thailand Travel Blog at http://dswarthout.blogspot.com
