Re: [ST] What do you do?

[Matt Knowles <matt@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I worked for a Suzuki/Ducati dealer back in 1985 when I was racing. I 
was working part time in sales, and never took home a paycheck. Seems I 
always had a debt in the parts department to pay off.

Moving bikes is no fun. This was back in the days of the Calvacade, 
quite possibly one of the biggest tanks to ever be called a motorcycle. 
You always made sure at the end of the day to get in the rotation of 
moving the bikes back in so you didn't end up with the last one, 
because it was always the Calvacade.

I still have nightmares moving bikes.
