About the Job
Have you dreamed of working in a Proving Ground environment? Modern Solutions is looking for Motorcycle Test Riders to support testing for a major motorcycle manufacturer at a proving ground facility located in Yucca, AZ (about 350 miles North West of Phoenix on the way to Las Vegas, NV). The successful candidate will test ride proto-type vehicles, keeping riding logs and reporting unusual performance, feelings and/or sounds.
Requirements
Candidates must have a valid driver license with motorcycle endorsement.
3+ years experience riding - including in heat, with leathers and for long distances/time periods - is required.
This position requires the physical ability to lift motorcycles up to 900-lb from a fallen or parked position and the ability to ride an average of 1,500 miles per week, including wearing full leathers for certain exercises.
We need road warriors, not weekend warriors.

Unless you've been to Yuma in the summer. I worked in the Chocolate Mountains, Chuckwalla Mountains, Palen Mountains, Big Maria Mountains, and Orocopia Mountains. It's desert, but it's a beautiful area. And I'm sure the cost of living is quite low. Go for it.

You know, until you've done the job...

I won't ever complain about my job, but there are some aspects of riding with BMW that don't make it the perfect job on the planet. But, I don't do it back-to-back day after day. I'm quite sure I wouldn't want to do it THAT often.

whats it pay? you are looking for work.

RACER X · 11-18-2009, 09:32 AM

oh yeah, i plan to give them a call. but chances are they aren't going to pay for my living expenses in AZ. so unless they are paying ALOT of $, it isn't worthwhile for me to go out there to earn a few more $ then unemployment + daycare. let alone the whole missing family stuff.

if it were in Houston i'd be all over it.......

i don't remember them mentioning the money, but I would assume anytime your talking about a job that lots of people would love to have it won't pay much. I could be wrong though, HD does pay very well in general.

funny this job is not listed on their career site.
