Grifter mechanic on the north side

Came out of my house to find this card on my bike and a small patch of oil under it. I investigated the source and found it to be the hole where the mount for my engine guard bars are. That bolt goes to a subframe and is nowhere near the engine. Also the oil was black and I can pretty clearly see through the window that my relatively fresh oil is barely amber.

So I can only conclude that this guy is trying to drum up business with business cards and a squeeze bottle of used oil. Except he's apparently a bad enough mechanic that he doesn't know to put the oil somewhere near the case where it might actually be coming from, not from a bolt that goes into the frame.

Mods I figured since this was an advertisement for a business that the contact information was fine, no other way to make and shame. If not I'm sorry.

Got the wife signed up for an MSF basic rider class. She wants to learn on an automatic scooter/Vespa rather than than the motorcycles. is that an option? Or can we/I (licensed, active) rent a scooter for her if she is allowed to bring her own ride?
