Default Fired

My riding buddies son just got fired from our local H D dealership
He was not a tech. yet but hoped to be one day. Anyway he
accedently dropped a bike and was canned on the spot. I guess
they only keep pefect employees.

That sucks.&nbsp\\;\\\\\\; There's no lesson in that, other than not to take chances...send him to a Navy recruiter!!!

&nbsp\\; WHY?&nbsp\\;Did it damage it ? &nbsp\\;Maybe he wasnt suppose to move a bike himself?&nbsp\\; could have been on top of other mistakes?&nbsp\\; DO YOU KNOW THE WHOLE STORY , or is it just easier to BASH Harley!!!
&nbsp\\; Maybe they thought he would be one of the sorry azzed techs folks on here are always bellyachein about!
&nbsp\\; so if a helper drops your bike it's OK????

Time to send him out on the boats. Plenty of boat jobs down south. Drive to work 2 times a month and free room and food. The best part is he is gone most of the year.

Have him attend a Motorcycle Trade School. In most cases HD Dealers snap them up right from school before theyre done. AMI is one of the TOP Schools right now.

With that on his record, it would be like listing a felony DUI and reckless driving charges on a truck driver application.
