Go to law school and become a motorcycle attorney. The industry needs those. There are probably some internships within the motorcycle industry for you with your chosen field. You could get on the business end and see a completely different side of the industry. I was always on mechanical side. Almost 20yrs in the industry so far. But, I have scaled things down to complement a full-time gig with benefits, while still tuning suspension, and playing with Harleys when I can. When ino longer work full-time, my partial retirement will be my suspension/harley work. Just my path, I'm very competitive...

I've been in the industry just over 8 years and I work for a big eCom and Store retailer (CoMoto i.e. RevZilla, Cycle Gear and J&P). I still think it's great and absolutely love it and have no plan to leave the industry. However, there is a big difference in working at a shop or a traveling sales rep compared to working for a big ecommerce company. Burn out is supper common in shops / sales reps. I also studied finance and work in purchasing now. It's a lot less product focus than you think and more excel spreadsheets but...

Lots of great advice on this thread. While I own Phoenix Handlebars, I have continued to help with the industry job board MotorcycleIndustryJobs.com to help the industry I love. In a sense, the two go together hand-in-hand. I've been in the industry for well over twenty years now and have seen both sides of the coin. Burnout for some, happiness for others. Some need the bigger paycheck to be happy, others are just content talking about motorcycles for the rest of their life. It's always going to be different depending on your personality. My name is Jason Gearld and I'm...

META was a dream we collectively started with vurbmoto back in 2014. While a worthwhile passion, I think it more or less allowed us, as business partners, to discover we all had new and different ambitions in life. Andrew Campo and Ben Giese took over META starting in 2015 and have, as far as I know, owned it ever since. It's an honor to say I had a small part of the first few issues and I personally think it's amazing to see where that small crew has taken their publication. It's a very well put together coffee table book...

I listened to the podcast yesterday and it was awesome! I grew up racing in Indiana with Robert and Matt, and they honestly are two of the coolest, nicest, down to earth moto dudes you can ever meet! I remember back around 1991 when they told me that they were starting a company called Throttle Jockey, and were going to make their own die-cut numbers and stickers. They asked me if I would be interested in putting them on my bike. From that moment on it was TJ numbers/graphics only, and I have been running them for 30 yrs! I...
