The company my brother works for is putting on a supercharger kit on one of those Slingshots. That would be a blast.

anyone ever know of anyone who switched careers mid-stream? I'm 37, and on the short end of the stick again in the Project Management realm looking for work. BUt I'm TIRED of this discipline - it's left me nothing but misery for the better part of a decade (constant layoffs at the first sign of the project ending, or the company not getting anticipated 'new' work/contracts) and need to change gears. Unfortunately, since all my experience is in this one arena, any significant change will require schooling

I'm trying to resarch Motorcycle Mechanics Institute for training, but wasn't sure if such training this late in the game for me would be pointless. I would be under no illusion that training would immediately equal similar pay, but at the same time I'd be very worried about dropping coin on such training then come out making $8/hr for god knows how long.

how have others switched careers to where they're basically 'starting over' in a new line of work/trade? Tips or suggestions?

yeah...screw that MMI route LMAO
SO many bad reviews.


maybe it's CDL time. there's a private local school that is about 3 weeks; still having a hard time figuring out how much that school costs etc. and need to do a lot of research on the posibility of driving locally or dedicated runs. Don't think I could be out for 10 days with 1 day at home etc. I suspect the dedicated runs/local jobs are the prime ones. Id be happy driving a god damn Pepsi tuck around town all day and home every night or like every other night etc.

Do you have to stay in the KC area?

My Vance & Hines exhaust came in today... They will be on tomorrow...��

for jobs in general? not necessarily.

would love to get a CDL and just run locally, home each night/day (whatever, based on shift etc). but from my reading (and anyone who knows different can certainly correct me), those jobs are A: tough to find and B: typically required 12-24 months of experience.

I'm leaning towards a non-company sponsored CDL and paying for it myself so I'm not locked in to a company running me to death for 2 years while they hold my CDL hostage. I've also read where company sponsored drivers typically make less $ per mile as well.


this is all assuming any of this ever comes to fruitiion; brainstorming at this point. probably a matter of 'biting the bullet' and sucking it up for a year or more. dunno- might set up a meeting with a school or two next week just to get more information etc.

nice. what's the weather like down there tomorrow? :evil:

52, but 60 Sunday.

Let. me know what you decide... I am over the freight department for my company.

nice. how do he sound?

were they true duals or just a single with a dummy pipe?

They sound great. Couldn't be happier with them. They are true duals.
