yotaman88210 Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 So I have always loved anything thing on two wheels, well I guess anything with a motor really. I have been working on cars and bikes since I have been about 12. Never really thought about taking it to the professional level until recently. I got convicted of an OMVI and the ARRT, the people who grant the license for Radiology Techs, prolly wont give me my license cuz of that. I have been working in a Rad. Dept. for the last 4 years of my life. I wanted to finish the degree and get licensed but am afraid I will do the 2 year program then get denied. What do you guys think about MMI ? Anyone know salary ranges for someone with expeirence who is really good at what they do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HotCarl Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 By MMI do you mean like automotive technical programs/schools? I've never heard of MMI but from your post it seem's like that's what you mean? http://www.columbusracing.com/forums/showthread.php?t=33059 Subject has already been talked about a few times. Search and you will probably find 2-3 more thread on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yotaman88210 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Yea, Motorcycle Mechanics Institute. This has been mentioned in other posts, but I was looking/talking specifically about Motorcycles. Not just UTI or tech schools in general. Anyone gone to MMI or Wyotech for motorcycles?

yotaman88210 Posted February 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 Yea I was thinking about that. Some people want their bike serviced in the winter cuz it is down time, but most people dont think that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted February 28, 2007 Report Share Posted February 28, 2007 if you watch american chopper cody went there and they say on there sometimes he is dumb and didn't learn shit down there. there was a guy that worked at ASK and he went to MMI as well and he was a complete dumb ass with a wrench in his hand as well.

street pilot Posted March 1, 2007 Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I know a couple people who went to AZ to MMI. They both know their stuff about bikes now, one does bike wrenching on the side and one is a full-time bike mechanic, making average pay. I wouldnt go with the intention of scoring a big gig like on Yamaha's superbike pit crew or anything, but if your goal is just to get a decent job wrenching on bikes (at least to start), then go for it.

yotaman88210 Posted March 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2007 I think I would learn alot cuz I have a decent background with mechanics and cuz I WANT to learn. Some people just go to these places wanting to slide by easy as possible. If I did this I would prolly take it too seriously. My intentions would be to eventually open my own garage here in columbus and provide people with on the job training. I want to know as much as I can if I am planning on training others. Thanks for the thoughts everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
