I wouldn't mind selling certain bikes, but I'm honestly an awful salesperson. I'm sure I could learn the skills but it doesn't come naturally. I interviewed for a sales job a few years ago at Honda of Rockville (yes I'm calling them out) and their pay was $800 a month - or, umm, FIVE dollars an hour for 40 hrs a week. 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...
