About the Job

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

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.

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]

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 know a couple guys who have done it. they loved it for the most part. said it had it's drawbacks but would do it again in a heartbeat.

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.
