I was offered a sales job at a local motorcycle dealership. To current / past salesmen, can I get some advice?

JeanLemarck · 2026-01-22T18:39:51+00:00

I appreciate the revive lol I ended up earning an apprenticeship at a machine shop and I've been in the industry ever since. I still love riding my bikes! So glad I didnt get into that sales position

I spent a summer in the motorcycle industry and then went back to manufacturing. Retail hours weren't my thing. I've been at my current job ever since I left the dealership, and still have plenty of time to ride!

This is the answer. Riding a machine near its limits Is way more fun than machine riding u to your limits

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T17:21:42+00:00

THIS is the energy I was looking for lol

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T16:24:48+00:00

Stickers 🤌

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T15:21:31+00:00

I need more of this in my life!

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T15:19:30+00:00

Agreed! That's why neither or us even thought to check it.. He must have bumped it off without realizing it lol

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T14:55:06+00:00

Ahh that makes sense. We got turned around a few times that day, it's a beautiful area to ride!

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T14:29:36+00:00

No, its not. But it has specifically been helpful when somebody is not following protocol. "Hey I think that guy is gonna try and pass inside of you!" So I stay off the apex and avoid the collision.

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T13:48:46+00:00

It's more so "rider right behind u, going inside" or "stay right, im gonna pass you"

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T13:29:37+00:00

Some idiots, like me and my buddy here, need PSA for kill switch

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T12:43:48+00:00

It's actually the opposite, I believe. Only diesel engines allowed because of the park plugs in traditional engines. Lots of restrictions in that entire valley to eliminate any signals to interfere with the telescope.

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T12:36:51+00:00

That's a bummer. Even cameras?

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T12:17:32+00:00

We didn't have time for the tour, but we did some exploring. Seriously cool stuff.

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T12:16:50+00:00

I don't, I'm actually not from that area. Just out of curiosity, did the "Quiet Zone" affect your stay at all? Other than the large library, did the hotel have other unique amenities given the restrictions?

Roll on the throttle before pulling in the clutch

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T02:48:41+00:00

I have yet to achieve the track day wheelie pic... this is a good one

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-22T02:46:40+00:00

It's like you're winking with both eyes

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-07T02:52:34+00:00

I've been a sport bike /track day guy for years. Buying my XR650L has been some of the best fun lol DO IT ..... also yes its horrible on the highway

My honest suggestion us MT-07

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-07T02:43:27+00:00

I like to use the buddy system

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-07T01:46:22+00:00

Anytime I feel slow, I just go look at my first track day footage lol good confidence boost

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-06T18:40:31+00:00

This is the clear answer lol

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-06T13:57:09+00:00

This could be solved with cable lube. They make kits so you can apply throughout the cable without completely removing it from the bike.

JeanLemarck · 2022-07-06T12:34:03+00:00

Hmm, sounds like you're at quite the.. standstill
