My son has decided that he would like to be a motorcylce mechanic, even though he has never shown any interest before in mechanics. First are there tests that can help him determine if he has a mechanical aptitude? Secondly, we were advised that Manufacturers like Harley-Davidson will not hire from other tech schools-only MMI. Is that correct? Will a local school be worthless? How much can he expect to make in this type of job?
 
I think there are to schools, one in Florida and one in Arizona. I beleive these are the only schools approved by HD. A dealer will hire from these schools first, if they need more they will recognize other schools. I would say a top paid mechanic is maybe making $12 an hour. What they start out at , I don't know.
