Well it sounds like you've gone and done it, I hope it works out for you.
At the time the CB750 was being launched, I had the chance to go work in a race team with an Alfa Romeo Dealership.
One of their emploees had been into my shop and had been looking at the work I had been doing on the cylinder head for my own motor.
The following day I got a call from the manager of the race department offering me a job in the porting and head shop.
I told him I wasn't looking for a job and, whatever he had been told about my work, I was only self taught and might not be what he was expecting.
He said I would be sent to night school to learn the job as well as hands on training in their work shop.
The money was crap compaired to what I earned as a Butcher and from my part time motorcycle shop, so I declined the offer.
About 6 years ago, a young guy that raced one of my mates bikes was offered a job as we all sat in the pub drinking warm English beer
. It was for a trainee mechanic with one of the smaller classes in Moto GP. He also declined the offer as he would be jetting around the world and, would be missing out on his racing.
What would you have done ? I quite often wonder where I would have ended up had I gone with the Alpha team, Their name was Mangoletsi, now one of the largest Alpha/Fiat dealers in the UK.
