....but April 21st will be my last day of work at the dealership.

I have had a good time working with and around motorcycles for 3 1/2 years, but had another opportunity arise and couldn't say no.

I will now be a Technology Consultant for Networking Solutions, a local IT solution provider. They are the area's largest and most reputable IT business. I feel this is a great opportunity for me with great growth potential. Getting the position was real battle, I had 4 interviews as they narrowed down the applicants (which I never applied, I was recruited to come to an interview after a chance meeting with one of the business partners) and was offered the position about a week ago.

Hopefully I will have more time for riding and enjoying life by not having to work retail hours. No evenings, no weekends......that sounds real nice. : )


As it seems like I will have alot more free time, I will only be able to take the time for myself for a short while, my wife is also expecting our first child with a due date of July 28th. We just had confirmation that it will be a boy! Life will change real fast.

I will still be on here, only time constraints will probably limit my posting.

My bike and excitement for Buell will not be leaving, and I will still be a part of the Waterloo BRAG club along with the help of Ralph "Gearhead".


Here's the website for my new employer: www.networkingiowa.com

WOW!
Congrats on the new job. I know that's what you wanted to do all along, being the computer geek you are

I am a little scared knowing there will be a Craig Jr! But just think of all the cool toys you'll get to play with together.
I see a 50 in your future! Can I ride it too?

You are going to be a huge loss to the Buell shop.

I still am wondering where that red hair comes from Shazam, LOL. I think a DNA test from the neighbors kid is in order.

Congrats and Good Luck Craig.

I brought up getting a 50 last night, it went slightly better than expected.

Hay man that is awesome. Glad you are where you will be happy. Trust me GET AS MUCH SLEEP NOW WHEN YOU CAN! My daughter is now 7 months old, and sleep is a MASSIVE wish. But I wouldn't trade it for the world.. she has daddy wrapped around her little finger. Remember that the 1st year is the most exciting, that is when everything happens.. I didn't think anything about it till she started growing, and WOW! it is amazing how fast time goes. Good luck and God speed w/ the new job and w/ the new little one to your life.

Craig - That's awesome man. Hopefully Silver Eagle HD/B will get someone who is as excited about the brand as you were. Congrats on the baby too. It sounds like you are just a month ahead of my wife.

Are you saying that as a good or a bad thing?
Looks like a good thing to me.

No, that's not true. They get more and more fun as they get older. Just give it time; you'll see. You have no idea just how much joy is ahead of you; just as you have no idea just how much work is ahead of you. I wouldn't trade the experience of raising my daughter for anything.
Craig; congratulations! Your life is about to get a shot of Nitrous!

That's a cool feeling.

Wait until in the middle of delivery and your wife looks at you and screams "this is all your fault!" Then you will know where you stand.
