I Love riding my Harley, outdoors, & so on. I'm fascinated with machines. I began learning to work on gas engines at an early age & could rebuild a lawn mower engine before I was 10 years old, thanks to my dad. I built my first Harley-Davidson from a basket case & by going to swap meets back in the day which isn't the same as these days plus I had friends who rode Harley's & had spare parts laying around which they gave to my cause. Things were great back then. By the time I decided to get a good job with benefits, I wanted to do something I liked so I decided to work on Harley-Davidson motorcycles but by that time, the Motor Company wanted their technicians to go to the school they endorsed, MMI (Motorcycle Mechanics Institute) now owned by UTI. I was determined & had the willpower to make the best grades possible so that I could land a good job yet I was surprised when I made the highest grade average above everyone else plus got the Top Tech Award which is only given out once per graduation period & isn't easy to get. I no longer work since July 2011 because It all came to a screeching halt. Life rolls on.......
