I started attending MMI (Motorcycle Mechanics Institute) last december. Some medical issues forced me to move back home. Now I am debating going back. I am going to go to school somewhere, I just am not sure where. Wyotech has a similar program, but I haven't found any reviews of the program. I got through clinic 7 at MMI (basic training). I found it to be really easy and have not been impressed with the quality of education yet. I don't know if it gets better or if I should transfer. If anybody has any thoughts let me know...

I;ve considered going to school for a motorcycle career,but I heard that a hobby should stay a hobby,because when it becomes a job you won't enjoy it as much.

Thats because you haven't done Suzuki.
You didn't say where, but we in Orlando think we have the best training you can get. I have run workshops for years and many of my grads go straight in to service writer or 'B' tech positions
Take either afternoon or night class, we are concerned with your ability to do the work (and don't get upset when you just scrape through with a 70 or fail with a 69)

I graduated from MMI in Florida in 2003. it did get better after 7 and by then many of the goof balls are gone and the more serious people are left. I dont know what brands you were planning, but i took HD and Kawasaki. they were much more indepth that the basic 1-7. remember got to crawl before you can walk.
