What do you all do for a living?

Certified "race-car mechanic" = No money

Professional driving instructor = Money sometimes

Manage a high-end Napa restaurant = good, consistent pay in this economy.


I'll get back into the automotive industry full time once the money is better, but playing with Lambos, Alfas, Maseratis, and Ferraris part time isn't that bad.
 
What restaurant? My wife is threatening to drag me to Napa one of these days. I would rather give my money to a fellow Ducatisti than some guy off the street.

I was once a Master Tech (mechanic), a Machinist in the Navy for 8 years, and now I am a Mechanical Engineer in a large company that works with the Oil Refineries and Energy producers... I also teach the MSF program for the California Motorcycle Safety Program on the side for fun and discounts.

My wife is a Chemical Engineer that works at a local refinery. We don't have kids and we do well enough to have 3 cages (pick-up, ute, and car) and four bikes (2 dirt, 2 street) between the two of us.

The 1198S is probably the purest sportbike I've ridden, with some other bikes I've owned being better in other areas. They can get my Ducati when they pry it from my cold, dead hands, but I think there will be a good touring bike in the future after the Wife gets a new kitchen. Neither the CBR600 nor the Ducati are very good at two-up riding for extended periods, but track days are fun!

Fume Bistro. Let me know if you do come to Napa. I can get you set up on the whole "wine and dine" thing through Napa.
