It's been a while, but I'm back... Cleveland guy on a Versys for now. Selling it this year and getting a Harley (I started working for HD last week as an IT Manager)

 

Anyone wanna buy a 2008 Versys? :)

 

Glad to be back...

I'm doing great man, took a step away from some things, took a step towards others. Landed my dream job at Harley-Davidson and everything is coming up roses... How are you?

 

Things are epic. Still loving my job and life. Tons of vacation time, cranking 15K+ a year on the bike....been all over the country on it with the wife on the back most of the time.  My kid is famous and rich. Couldn't be better.  You doing corporate HD IT work? I would assume remote then right?

 

My step brother worked there for a ton of years...he loved it. He built their Kansas City plant and brought it online, then ran their museum. If the deal is the same you are going to get an awesome deal on the bike. He used to pay cash....sell them after a year for at least what he paid for it, sometimes more and get another.

HD actually has an IT unit in Valley View, 75+ full time employees. I still will have to make the occasional trip to the MotherShip.

 

Discount is good, but have to wait 6 months... so I'll be riding my Versys to HD for the summer unless I come across a better deal than my discount.

Welcome back!  I'm in Lyndhurst, too, so I'll keep my eyes open for you... I interviewed with that Harley in Valleyview exactly a year ago... Got the job, too, but went with another offer.  I'd love to hear how you like it!  (If you see Todd, from QA, tell him Josh says "hello!")

My team works with Todd's so I'll tell him you said hi.  

 

Out of curiosity, what  was the other offer? I've been there 6 weeks and it's the most amazing place I've working in nearly 20 years of IT.

Thanks!  The other offer was ONOSYS.  We're downtown on west 6th st.  We make online ordering websites for restaurants.  Applebees and Outback are two of our bigger clients.  HD offered more money, but I had to pick this one based on the culture... It's VERY laid back, and, um, so'm I :)  But it was a VERY close call... If HD had moved first, I'd be there instead of here, I bet.  I still sometimes regret not working for Todd and picking that job, because I think it would've been a FANTASTIC career move.  I originally asked you to tell him "hi" for me just so he remembers my name in case... y'know.  No reason to close a door that could be left open :)
