Thanks James......It was a good day. Work was slow, but I think that once my commission kicks in and business picks up then I'll like it a lot more. Plus, now I get a20% discount on parts for MY bike as well as clothes.

That is what I'm trying to do. The department manager is really working with me on teaching me everything.

This is a job that I've wanted for a long time.

It is really nice to fill up my bike for $16, $16 in my Explorer would barely move the needle on the gauge... I kinda wish we lived somewhere that we could ride all year, maybe we could go down to 1 car type and 2 bikes...

OK, so I've been on my job for less than 3 weeks and they've already offered me a position in another department. They wanted me to go back and work in the parts will call area. I said thank you for the thought, but I'm really happy where I'm at and I'd really like to stay there.

I started riding my bike yesterday to and from work. I'm actually only 5 miles to work and that makes it even nicer.

Just thought I'd update ya'll on what's going on.

Thanks.....I love riding my Harley......

I had a customer come in today and I was helping a customer and we were talking about our bikes. The guy rides a V-Rod and I commented about the fact that it would be a fun bike to test ride and he handed me his keys. I asked my boss if I can go on a break and test ride and she said yea......Boy I wish I could have had more than I did. It would have been FUN to take that bike on the freeway.....I HAD A BLAST!!!!!!! I want one now, but just for playing.
