Motorcycle Repair Technician Program

i've seriously been thinking about enrolling in this program. it's $613 if you pay all at once, so the price isn't too bad. this is something i've been wanting to get into for a long time. i've got a fairly extensive background in automotive repair and would like to get into bikes, and this seems like a pretty good way to at least get my foot in the door. what do you guys think?

Not a bad price... at least you would always have a skill that you could fall back on if you decided to do something else... :thumbs:

that's what i was thinking. then even if i couldn't find a job as a technician, i could at least save a ton of money by working on my own bike, and even make some money on the side by working on other peoples bikes.

yeah, i worked at a dealership for awhile and hated it. they made you rush EVERYTHING.

Sounds good to me!
My wife wanted me to take a class like that (because I do most of my owen work anyway) so I could get a local job and get of the road (truck driver) I enjoy working on my owen bikes, cars and Big truck when its not broke. I just hate having to fix something so it will go.
Then she found out how little you make working for somebody else and changed her mind.
A friend at the local Stealer makes about $500 a week if he is lucky. He makes as much or more at home doing the same thing with the $$$$$ under the table.

Ya, dealership jobs aren't the way to go as a mechanic. Better off starting your own garage!!
