Well, I've been in sales all of my life, one way or another. Finished college with BA in Bus. Admin. & went to work for Shell Oil Company. 1st Job was at the Data Center in Menlo Park, CA then transferred to Tulsa, OK in same line of work. I hated it and spent most of my time looking out of the window at the green grass below. Requested and got a transfer to Indiana & Kentuky in Retail Sales and loved it except everytime I made a success of my work, they would promote me, give me a few more dollars and send me somewhere else! After four of their worst territories were turned around I asked for a transfer to Industrial/Commercial Sales. (I was the 1st to ever have that job without a chemical engineering degree.) LOVED THE WORK!! My office and headquarters was in St Louis, MO. I saw things manufactured all over the USA. A promotion to New York was in my future. However,I had been forewarned not to accept the promotion. I resigned and at age 39, with a wife and two boys,(7 & 5 years old). I started my owned, full lines, insurance agency in Northern California. We starved for the first five years, living off of my savings [:'(]... HA! Then the money started rolling in.. finally. My insurance agency was terrific, providing me with lots of varied friendships, a great home, lots of toys and connections all over the county. I won trips all over the world annually. Decided to "hang it up" at age 62 because my wife had contracted Remitting RelapsingMultiple Sclerosis. We sold ourhome and the business and then retired into a customized, handicap equipped, motor home. Been living in our "house with a rubber foundation" for ten years now. WE BOTH LOVE IT! Wouldn't take a "stick home if it was free". We follow the sun, summer and winter. .... I get plenty of saddle time on the KLX 250s.

 

Hi WD~40,
I am out in the west side, but would love to meet and take a ride sometime. I also have friends that ride out in the valley.

I'm currently a consulting engineer for managed network services at a major telco. I have 25 years' experience in IT and software development.

And I develop web sites and repair computers for a couple local businesses and non-profits.

And I'm part-owner of a hotrod shop, G-Force Design Concepts.

And I have 5 kids, 4 of whom are still at home.

And I work on motorcycles almost every day of the week.

So I'm selling my 96 Mystic Cobra 'cuz I need the $$ to pay for parts for the bikes. Kidding...got to a level running the car at open track events that I either need to get some serious safety gear or quit, because I've reached the skill level where I'm just too close to the edge for comfort. And I am sooo tired of obsessing about every little scratch and speck of dirt on the Mystic.

 

I'm a graphic designer at a design agency called curious design, primarily doing package design, photography and retouching.

Also in the New Zealand Territorial Force (soon to be known as the NZ Reserve Army) as a Lieutenant.

Great jobs both of them, providing me with that much needed balance between the office desk and the great outdoors, and in between I terrorize the streets and trails of Auckland with my green machine.

 

I'm still a student, but my dad gives me an allowance which I use to buy stuff for my KLX and for myself.. My dad does business.. And he's involved with the government ALOT..
