Thinking about going to MMI down in Orlando, FL and was wondering if anybody know's how much the Harley mechanic's get paid around the East Tennessee area.

I ran a big motorcycle dealership down near the coast in Daphne, Al. for about 3 1/2 years and hired three different guys from MMI and only one of them was capable of working on an engine. The other two couldn't even figure out which end of a screwdriver to hold. The one that was a decent wrench said he taught himself how to work on bikes. Said he just went to MMI cause he thought it would help him get a higher paying job sooner. He said they really only taught them the most basic stuff like oil changes and basic assembly. Cost him about 20 grand I think. He said it was a total waste of cash. Most of the other dealerships that I dealt with had the same luck with MMI graduates. Just my opinion for what it's worth.
