1. Tough industry to get in if you have no experience

2. Even if you're in, people at the bottom of the ladder have to live with roommates to make ends meet

3. The industry looks bright and shiny from the outside. It's rough and hard work inside. 

4. If you want to be around bikes and not necessarily in the racing industry, servicing bikes (engine, suspensions, tires etc...) out of your garage can get you a decent ROI. I know a few guys who were in the industry and are killing it...

5. Or you can enjoy your retirement, your family, go ride with your buddies and watch the races 31 saturdays a year on Peacock from your couch with a $15 12-pack...

I’m in the same boat, just retired after 33 years in the military at 50… i don’t “have” to work but would like to do something I’m passionate about because the divot i’m making in the couch is getting out of hand. I’m decent at suspension work and thought about doing the Race Tech suspension seminar and trying to do maintenance work on the side from the house or working at the parts department at Carter Motorsport here in vegas … or something like that. Then I just keep watching ancient aliens because it’s the only thing on during the day and another week goes by 😂

Go ride while your young unless your done riding of course.  

I did suspension work for years out of my garage and had enough a following that it was not fun. I was still working at that time. 

Now that I'm retired I just want to ride or get out and do stuff. I thought of going to a local dealer and see what i could offer, sales, sweep floors, but now that Im here, screw that. 

Lets Ride!

Let's go for a "Dual Sport" ride on my KLRs out thru Red Rock and when we get to the other side we can take some graded roads north and watch the 22s and 35s make their practice runs.

I'm jus' sayin'...

C'mon now homie.... You just want to watch more episodes of Ancient Aliens. In a couple weeks you'll come up with another reason to wait a few more weeks before riding

If you’ve got money invest it in T bills , you’re getting over 5% interest , some nearing 6 % right now so even if you only throw 500k at them you’re getting near $30k return annually if you keep rolling in to new ones as they mature with no risk . 

Go spend that interest traveling to the races . Lots of fun,  zero hassle & still around dirt bikes.
