MOTORCYCLE MECHANIC

             The occupation I chose to write about it being a motorcycle mechanic. I mainly picked this topic because after high school I plan to go to school to be a mechanic and doing research would help me get more information about it. I think this would be a good career choice for me because I already know tons of information about this subject. As a motorcycle mechanic I would work on motorcycles, atv's, snowmobiles, and other small engine machines. I would repair them or put performance modifications on them.
             There are some schools in the united states that teach these skills and the most popular one would me Motorcycle Mechanics Institute or MMI. This is where I plan on attending to become a mechanic. They have 2 schools, one in Orlando Florida, and one in Phoenix Arizona.
             When you first go to the school you must attend the Motorcycle Technician Prerequisite Course which takes 33 weeks and 825 clock hours. This teaches you the basics about engines, transmissions, chassis, trouble shooting and so on. After you complete this course you next choose separate programs to specialize in. They are endorsed by Kawasaki, Honda, Yamaha, and Suzuki which all have their own course. These courses take 12 weeks and 300 clock hours. You focus only on the brand you choose. You can choose to take one of these courses or all of them.
