I do agree it makes you way more marketable from city to city. Im am already a pretty good wrench, better than some school grads I've met. I will likely end up at UBI seeing as I would like to expand on my skills, and be able to get work when I eventually leave here. As far as the "rare and mysterious" bikes, that will come from getting one of those SOBs on the stand where you work LOL! I had a friend whose specialty was classic bikes. It was fun watching him work...
