Plus 12% of the profit that the dealership made off each sale (usually $800-1000 off each vehicle). No thanks...

Aftermarket parts companies would be awesome. I saw a sales position for Vortex in Salt Lake City for 40k plus commission. I'll keep looking. Also interested in event planning and behind-the-scenes stuff for events that the AMA puts on; I know people travel with motorcycle shows like the IMS, which could be interesting too... thanks for the brainstorming.. keep em coming..

I did think about having a motorcycle shop/cafe.. like eat food and pay us more money while you wait for us to fix your bikes...
Have you considered applying for a job at Revzilla? They are located on the other end of PA from you.
