Make money with/on a motorcycle?

#1 Unread post by froldt »

Is there a way to make money either with or while on a motorcycle? After all, of us who wouldn't like to make money from our lifestyle?

The only (legal) ways I can think of are to sell motorcycle products or to work on them. I am thinking of something that I can do while riding, though; not just a job that involves motorcycles.

Just thought I'd ask around, see if anyone had any suggestions.

I get paid to ride a motorcycle and deliver mail.

Motorcycle couriers are another option.

sure go to companies and tell them you are willing to put their logo (They must pay for the logo to be put on) if they are willing to pay a monthly fee. Kind of like rental space. Same way a billboard works.

I was going to suggest similar, mail courier or product delivery.

If you have any writing abilities, a bike touring magazine might pay you for some freelance articles on your own biking experiences/travels.

I've did my part time courier job on my Majesty quite a few times this past summer.

You'll never guess what my current job is. Yep, you guessed it! Delivering pizza. I've asked a couple of times, and the General Manager said no. Of course, it can't hurt to ask again!

I'll have to check on being a courier. Only two companies listed in the phone book, and they're 30+ minutes from home. Still can't hurt to try, right?

Yeah, there are idiot kids around here who "drag race" for money. Of course, it's like, $20-50, or just for a meal. I used to work with a guy who always wanted me to come and join. Pfft...
