....I get a call a couple days ago from a local cycle/racing shop with a job offer. Not alot of money to start with, but.....I took it.
I'm the designated 2-stroke guy that also works on thumpers(unfortunately):).
I've worked a couple days there and found out the last new guy lasted 6-hours before he screwed up bad enough to get fired.....and he was an MMI graduate. I have a degree in Hackleburg (only one Hackleburg in the world) engineering(Master of shade tree mechanics:D), so I was a bit concerned...lol.
So far, dead machines are coming back to life on my lift/station. I have my fingers crossed that I'll be able to keep the ball rolling.
BIG difference in doing this on my own time in my carport and doing this in a shop ran by someone else....but I'm still loving the opportunity.
Among the positives are access to specialty tools that ensure I'll never have to pay for bottom end work again, as well as a brand new DynoPort powersports dyno machine....ohhhh yeah!
