Never ask "permission", for things you shouldn't have to ask permission for.

Unless your job description requires you to deliver items with your personal vehicle, it doesn't concern them.

Since the motorcycle is your only means of transportation, you have no excuse for not going to work in bad weather.

Only time is it was traveling sales where you were going to the client. Even then, it would be profiling, and that shit is illegal.

I don't think it's illegal for an employer to require you to own a car.

I'm sure you could claim discrimination or something, unless it was stated expressly in the job posting/description that a dependable automobile was required.

Ya'll mean a client wouldn't want to ride bitch?

Maybe if you were a gay Baptist tranny.

Otherwise, not so much.

Thanks for the replies. I'll just keep my mouth shut like originally planned. I'll be working for a bank as an IT assistant. The only travel I'll be required to do is "rarely" go to the other branches for repairs and upgrades.

As far as the weather is concerned I plan to invest in rain gear, but my dad also offered to let me borrow his truck when it's going to be particularly bad out.

I really dont see how what you drive has any bearing on getting this job. I wouldnt worry about it and I wouldnt bring it up.

If duing the interview they asked, do you have reliable transportation, and you just said "yes" without elaborating, there are some people who might hold that against you because they don't consider motorcycles reliable transportation. They might think to themselves, "That dude withheld information because he was afraid he wouldn't get the job" and they might consider that dishonest. But that's only if they are anal-rententive. For that kind of job I don't think they have any business giving you beef about it.

In my experience, if anyone even cares, they'll just think it's cool or kooky (especially that first rainy day)... I doubt anyone even gives a fuck.
