All Motocycle Repair SchoolsAre you looking for something a little different from a four-year degree? Are you mechanically inclined? Do you like to ride with the wind in your hair? If any of these questions "spark" your interest, you may want to consider a career as a motorcycle mechanic.Motorcycle mechanics train at one of the many motorcycle or small engine repair schools throughout the country. While prior knowledge of two- and four-stroke engines is desirable, the courses are designed to teach fundamental motorcycle mechanics from the first nut up. Motorcycle repair courses are generally completed in a year; as classes start all the time, enrollment can begin any month. Students learn diagnostics, maintenance, and repair skills using computerized equipment and hand tools. Mechanics need to be able not only to repair bikes but to maintain them as well. Learning motorcycle repairs is a great precursor to being able to maintain and repair other equipment such as scooters, dirt bikes, snowmobiles, and ATV's. The increase in disposable income and the desire for grown-up "toys" such as motorcycles lends to a great future as a motorcycle mechanic. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects that the need for mechanics will continue to increase at the same rate as the average for all jobs until 2012. In 2004, a motorcycle mechanic averaged $13.70 an hour--an increase of 5% from 2002. Does this sound good to you? If so, rev up your search engine and find the motorcycle repair school closest to you. Sources: Bureau of Labor Statistics
