I think you need to change your name mate.
Tossbag suits......

Gee, I hope Shaun doesn't know anyone in the bike industry... would be a real pain if he were to tell them to be on the look out for a 17yo with a YZ250 that in his opinion isn't made of the right stuff

Really you aren't that anonymous...any bike shop that has a Benjamin who is 17 coming to them for an apprenticeship would start asking questions.

Besides, it isn;t too late to pull your head in start making mates. You will find that there are some people here who could really help you if you showed the intelligence...As was previously noted, almost every bike shop in NZ has memebers here.

Hmm! I might take you up on that offer!
Yeah, it's more that I have no knowledge of motorcycle mechanics and that's what I want to start doing and perhaps eventually paint jobs.. I wanna get my hands dirty for starters (even if that means parts/warehouse, we've all gotta start somewhere!).

At the ripe age of 25 it's a weird time to decide to have a pretty major career change but it's just one of those things I guess, I might apply for that Red Baron job just to see how far I can get and then I'll know what I need to work on in order to be 'desirable' to employers!

Thanks for the offer on the mechanical basics help! I'll definitely let you know about that!

No, I have been doing really well at my job at McD's thanks. I will be a burger maker soon, not just a cleaner.
