Here's alittle FYI:
The shops in this area would rather hire a mechanic who's done mechanical work in the past. Car mechanic, air plane meachanic or what not then hire someone fresh out of MMI. Sure the graduates from MMI have all the knowledge on how to diagnose an electrical problem, or calculate displacement or compression. But what most of them do not know is how to actually (and efficiently) work on a motorcycle. Which alot of that will come in time. My advice to you.....
Dont waste your money. Try to get hired at a motorcycle shop doing whatever and go from there. Maybe try to get hired to change tires and basic routine oil changes. MMI is a waste of time and money.
Again this is only my opinion so take it for what it's worh.
