HD Technicians
Hi all,
I am getting ready to seperate from the military and was looking for a new career. I love turning wrenches as that is what I used to do in the military before becoming an NCO. I was wondering if there were any HD techs here that could tell me about the career. Yearly salary, work load, benefits etc. I am in Germany and the techs here are few and far between so I dont really know any. I also do most of the wrenching on my own bike, so I am very compfortable with it. I know that I would have to go to school and all that and would be no problem. Thanks for the advise.

RE: HD Technicians
Used to do that as a business \\;years ago but got out to explore other areas and free my time.
You will be blessed if you can land a gig right away. \\; Most places will look for experience even if yoiu graduate from one of the M/C training institutes (they are worth investigating). \\; It will take time to get up \\;to a livable wage, too. \\; That is, unless you are a shining star of a mechanicand can absorb everything first time around.
 \\;
Be patient and you will get the sought-after experience and have your name spread around. \\; Talk to a lot of dealer techs and independents. \\; There is a lot to learn from the right ones. \\; They are not all good and they won't all be honest with potential competition but you'll figure it out.

IMHO.
