Default New job

Well I just had to share this. I'm semi retierd and do contract work for Boeing. It times there is no work for a month or two. So I went on line to one of my local HD dealers and full out an emplyement form. Will I got a part time job as a demo rider. Now I will get paid to ride, and it's someone else bike. How sweet is that.
