Rossi must be getting close to retirement now. Perhaps that'll create an opening.

The motorcycle industry needs accountants, marketers, sales people, HR experts, retail developers, merchandisers, stock controllers, designers, QA engineers, jig and tool makers................pretty much the same opportunities as in any other industry.
But the truth is that it's not a very big industry in the UK and, unless you are at the retail end, you don't necessarily get to play with the product very much - a bit like the wine industry where you don't necessarily sit around sipping chardonnay all day! |

yeah i guess if i was gonna move into something like that, then i would probably be contacting the manufacturers to see what careers were available. Ive got a very good career at the moment but im not entirely sure its for me.
