Career change coming up for me. Again.
Just in case anyone gives a toss.

Best wishes to your new career.
Is it still bike related?
If you can make it on Kiwibiker you can make it anywhere.
Yep - Good luck. What's prompted this then?
In summary, some people are good at being self employed contractors, and some not so much. I'm not so much.
You don't realise the benefits of being employed by someone until you don't have those benefits. Like Kiwisaver contributions. Like paid annual leave. Like having colleagues to bounce ideas off. The psycho-social aspect of work is often underrated.
Just now, if I get sick and can't work, I don't get paid. What that leads to is me going to work when I'm crook as a dog. I had to excuse myself from a client one day about a year ago so I could go and vomit, then return to continue with the lesson. That started me thinking.
Of course, there will be those who are thinking "Welcome to my world". That's okay, if that's your world and it suits you, all good. It just doesn't suit me.
So I'm running away to an hourly rate, 37.5 hours a week job where I don't have to work every weekend to earn a living.
The job isn't confirmed yet, so I won't disclose it.
It's fair to say that I'll miss the motorcycle world where I've worked part time and full time since I became a baby traffic cop in 1988. I know I'll miss the industry, it's full of awesome people.
But it's my time to move on.
Wont you miss the flexibility of self employment? And being able to post on here whenever you like...?
High miles, engine knock, rusty chrome, worn pegs...
Brakes as new

Meh, you're going to work for Cassina.
Are you able to teach me how to ride my KX500 properly though ?
Been to Hospital too many times but, I won't sell the bike.
Look forward to your reply.
