It's refreshing to see a young guy that not only understands the concept of starting at the bottom and paying your dues but who also likes to work with his hands. I have a friend that owns a hot rod shop and he's always talking about how rare it is to see mechanics or fabricators under 35.

Can't do the job if you can't pay your bills. Bummer, being a mechanic used to be a great job.

Its because of the "dues" we have to pay. It would fine if living costs were reasonable but kids dont want to break their backs for a decade only to still live with their parents. The young guys are given the most laborious jobs that pay the least. I worked for Firestone for two years at 12/hr flat rate and it nearly ruined my life because of back problems. The stack all the fleet vehicles with only oil changes and tire rotation and they dont buy any other services you recommend. Id have to go through 20 vehicles vs the 5 that older guys had to do. It takes more energy to pull the cars in and rack the lift than the actually mechanical work. I was exceeding the expectations placed on me but they kept saying a raise is right around the corner just to keep you around. I would recommend to young guys to the bare minimum in your 20s, enjoy life. Do mechanical work on the side to learn amd gain experience and don't bother applying for a job as tech untill your 30. Unless you find a good spot at a smaller shop. Big chains shops like firestone or midas don't care about your skill or experience, if youre young they will just take advantage you.

That new Triumph looks great. The frame looks so much like the YZ-F frame of 2006-2009. I have owned and ridden a number of those era Yamaha's and they were so comfortable.

When I see really tall mechanics I can’t help but think they probably wanted to race moto but realized it’s not in the cards genetically at a certain age and go mechanic route.

@kirkwilliams4942 7 ай бұрын

So weird, that seat bump. I raced moto for 40 years. I always wanted my weight as far forward as possible. Except in sand. But I never need a bump to remind me. Just seems really weird. You still need ot get your weight over the front. Zack Osborne is a super short dude. if you watch him racing he is always on the back. I truly believe that is just an issue and an adjustment he makes because of his stature. RC was the same way. he had a very weird bike set up but worked for him. Just interesting, not saying it's wrong or anything. Heck, these are the best in the world.

Yeap and a Star Yamaha and Factory Honda quit last year as well. Years before you saw Pro Circuit and Factory KTM’s quitting too. Everyone has it happen. This the first year and I think they’re doing great overall. Swoll is consistently in the top 10 and Savatgy has top 5 speed.
