Quite so. SARGE's comment meant "don't get burnt out" by turning your passion/hobby/sport into a boring 9-5 "job".

The very best of luck with the future!

I was originally at Brisbane Yamaha with Bobby Morgan, then Phil Beaumont Kawasaki. Both now gone I believe! Raced a few times at Lakeside...was well sorry to hear they closed it as a race track not long after I came home...it was an awesome (if a lil dangerous)track to ride!

Reading your thread with envy (can't spell jealous) a job selling motorbikes is just away back in my far out unrealised dreams!

Good on you, you must have sold yourself well at the (impromptu) job interview or they wouldn't have offered it to you on the spot!

All the best for the future of your new job.

Cheers, John.
