Ever wonder how people get to work with manufacturers and OEMs? A great way to get a foot in the door is working as contract help with shows, commercials, photo shoots, etc. . These people usually move into Demo Teams and more.

We are ALWAYS looking for people willing to do the time. It is NOT all glory, some of it is really hard work putting up tents and dealing with the public. But, if you don't mind the work - you get to do some pretty cool stuff like go behind the scenes at races and national events.

It's easy to apply - https://docs.google.com/open?id=0B5SywSKEmB5FVWNBMDFYVGJTVDItdUowdkIwQUlmZ w

The new website isn't up yet - so I'm sending you to Google Docs.

I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have about the potential contracts that are out there. Yes, it's a lot of weekend travel. Rates vary from $100-$500/day plus expenses depending on what you get signed up for.

Events range from single day events to week long. Yes, you can choose. Info booklets are being produced right now - I'll post that PDF when I have it.

Example - a motorcycle OEM was doing a photo shoot for their 2012 product line. They were looking for people to ride their bikes for the shoot - and wanted a specific look. The people they ended up with were models that thought the bikes were shiney - the models had never even sat on a bike before. This OEM now comes to us to staff these shoots - we have people from all walks of life that would fit the look they are going for that actually ride motorcycles. Those shoots usually pay $500/day to those that ride and are usually a few days.

Events can be anything from the photoshoots to working at a motorcycle show or rally.

As much as I can. I'm not going to lie, some events come up with very little notice. Others we know a year ahead.

To fix that photo shoot, it was the night before. But, staffing Sturgis happens the year before just to handle lodging.

Interesting... I know that HD does allot of photo shoots in Michigan. All their parts catalog bikes are done here. Not stating for my love of HD, just a fact.

Either way... I'll get the info over to you. You are the info email at the top of the page?

Oh yeah I'm the same way. But with my new schedule of 8 on/6 off it might help.

I'm one if the people that check that email. As weird as the hours can be, we try to keep things as flexible as possible for those that want to do the work.

If it is adventure related, I would be interested, not interested in Crusier stuff.

I wanna do it!

I'll fill out the form and send it in today.

Does the head shot have to be of *professional* nature, i.e. my suit and tie pic for work (riiiiiiiiiiiight LOL), or something like the one I have as my FB profile pic from Laguna Seca.

I could draw a Lee-style picture of you if you really want that to represent... :wink:

Send a picture you feel best represents you.
