Re: (section8superbike)
Dear Jason,
Well all that work and no play, Here's the skinny sunshine, you can keep working like that but your gonna burn yourself out, and trust me there is nothing as embarrasing as collapsing from nervous exhaustion in front of a crowded showroom, (I speak from experience.). Whilst in my tenure with Ducati Manhattan in my capacity as G Manager, the pressure of launching the Flagship store, running 916 SPS's up to the top floor of the Waldorf at 9pm at night so Frederico can look good in the IPO offerings with TPG, after months of all that, selling 200 + bikes a year, All the corporate parties and schmoozing after 2 years I totally collapsed and lost it NERVOUS EXHAUSTION.
Due to the lack of other staff my days of absolute glory just collapsed around my ears, My advice One man cannot service his customer base alone unless you are a robot and have no life at all, Also you will kill your own personal drive for your most beloved passion the motorcycle,
In closing I say work in moderation, do not set yourself up into a situation where you are so exceptional on the outside there is nothing left on the inside, BEWARE THE ALMIGHTY MOTORCYCLE TRADE IT WILL EAT YOU UP SPIT YOU OUT AND LAY A BIG RUBBER PATCH ON YOUR NECK.
Having said all that I now work all the hours god sends running my own company in the same insane enviroment, so I guees we are some what stupid but without guys like us there would be no trade.
See Ya
Ryan
