Does anyone on here work in the motorcycle parts trade?

[anonymous-user]

I am currently in the car parts business and considering a change of scenery. If anyone would be prepared to answer a few questions for me I would be more than happy to buy them several drinks or similar.

Thanks all

I spend a lot of time working for the motorcycle parts trade.

I worked in the bike trade 98-06 and then car trade 06 to present

Bike trade much more fun but you lose the passion a bit being around them all the time and it's very seasonal and gets quiet as you know

Car trade better money but can be alot of hours and stress

Where do you buy them from if you don’t mind me asking? Do you buy genuine or aftermarket?

Spent about 15 years running parts departments in the Motorcycle industry....

Been out of it a while now , but happy to answer any Qs....

I tried going the other way - into car parts - tediously dull and repetitive by comparison.
