Should I pay my neighbor?

If he's doing it with absolutely no ulterior motive, then the best payment you can make is friendship. And maybe a coupon for 1 free psychiatric evaluation cause I'd never work on your bike without an ulterior motive.
So back to "friendship", do what I do with my friends: if I'm going somewhere, I call them an invite them along. Sometimes at lunch / dinner, I slip the waitress my credit card before we get to the seats. Sometimes we hit Best Buy together and the last time I used $25 out of $100 rewards I had and put the rest on his $200 worth of purchases.
The people that are the real friends, who do stuff just cause they like you as a friend, you gotta catch off guard. It's really bad when the whole group gets together. Imagine the waitress coming back to a table of 20 and giving back 19 credit cards slipped to her from arrival to cash out
HELL NO
Never offer a man a warm beer. Room temperature is the "hottest" it should be and only if that's the way it's supposed to be served. And if he just got done working on something mechanical for you, cold in a frosted mug!

Sorry, first post I read.
I don't care for beer but he might, so that would be a good idea. Offer to cook for him if you can. Besides a back rub, that would be a nice way to say thanks.

Sounds way too personal. I mean he would have to enter into my place behind closed door...
I still have one more task I have to do before all this can happen. I have to go to my shop and tell them to give me my parts cuz. That would be uncomfortable.
