Great.  I'm a little jealous too 'cause I have always wanted to do motorcycle repairs, but my mechanical/electrical career just went another direction...and I'm afraid that it wouldn't be stable enough for a career change.  Even though I know I could do it easily.  Maybe someday...Hmmmm

Congrats on getting to do what you really want to do!!!!

I'm starting the job May 4th. Went up yesterday,talked with the manager, assistant manager, one of the owners, and a couple of the general employees. I'm going to fit right in. I'll have to try really hard not to take over.

I'll still be the "night watchman" here. No problem.

Rode around the parking lot yesterday. Front brake works great. Rear drum was full of rusty water, which is now all over the bike. But, the brake still works...well, if I remember to let off the gas when I hit the brakes... I'm rustier than I expected to be. Oh well, nothing wrong with getting back into riding at a slower than expected pace.
