I am working on details (the moving to Ft Rucker might be a deal breaker) but I would LOVE to do this job and have been reccomended for the position. As long as I don't have to move this could be a REALLY great thing for me.

Keep your fingers crossed.

If I had the chance to do something like this when I was still in the Marines, I would have jumped all over it. That sounds like a great position with a lot of responsibility that could lead further into motorcycle safety industry careers.

As long as you will be allowed to make an effort to influence riders to not do stupid shit on the street, and encourage participation at closed-course venues, it could be a good gig? Maybe via sponsorship of some track days? Start up a supermoto team as a case study? ha! Just as long as your efforts won't ultimately be contributing to the gathering of data that eventually will be used to prove that motorcyling is too dangerous for the average spode, it could be cool. Unfortunately, all too often a false premise is used to influence participation in those types of number-crunching exercises that have a desired outcome from the onset.

Nope, from what I understand there are a bunch of cruiser type higher ranking older guys in charge of this program and they want some younger blood to relate to the sportbike community to help to better understand it. This is a "Riders" group. Not a bunch of unknowing politicians.

Wow, that almost feels like my role at my store.

Why not the 18-24 y/o sport bike enthusiasts?

Nice, I say go for it.

Did you do the RCP? I know you were thinking about it last year.

That's pretty cool. I'd be down for that.

Thinking about doing the MSF RCP next year. Gotta look into the time commitment & take that into consideration though.

Young punks. i.e. squids with no common sense.
