Very good everyone (even Weeksy and Couch )

[couchcommando]

damn need better bait........

In all honesty ask them as many questions as they ask you, I would ask about taking holidays in single days at a time as some folk don't like it, I'd hope they wouldn't mind as your hobby is they're line of work.
And good luck

They sponsor a world superstock team and have been into racing for years.

I put it on my CV, so they've been warned

I suppose it depends upon what the role is, but in addition to the others advice above (not all!!!! ) - I'd prepare some information regarding what you'd expect to achieve/learn in the first 30 days there and potentially extend this to your first 60 or 90 days.

For example - explain that you'd want to fully understand the company's processes and functions in order for you to be as up to speed and proactive for the business as soon as possible.

Take a lot of interest in the company and ask about the direction that its heading in and how you'd hope to be part of its future direction etc....

Ask why the role has come about, expectations of you (and the role), functions, responsibilities etc......

Be sure that you take notes, and take a printout of their website page. Stick the printout in a clear folder and casually leave this lying around as you get your notepad out.

Have some prepared questions written down, ask if you can ask questions!!

Give me a call if I can help you with any of this .... 'cause I've got loads of crap ideas!!!

And don't wear the yellow suit

Bit late in the day, but go and have a look from the outside and if a shop the inside to see where you might be working, what they sell, prices etc. If it is a chain of dealers see if any info on the Internet re their business etc, this will give you a feel for the business.
Go neat and tidy
Do NOT have a drink before interview ( they will smell it)
If you smoke do not go in stinking of fag smoke, and don't smoke even if they offer you one.
Ask about training internal and external.
Salary, Holiday pay, Bonus schemes, overtime.
Take a CV with you in envelope not srewed up in your pocket
Take a list of question you would like to ask them about their business.
These could include but only ask questions that you understand yourself.
What's their strategy to improve sales, margins, customers
Aims and objectives re customer satisfaction
Advertising, promotions.

Good luck.

erm are we talking a bike shop here or a job at The Rocket science lab

most bike shop owners i have met, have as much idea as a monkey in interviewing

9 out of ten times they will tel you that the "JOB" is a labour of love, that they themselfs have never made any money out of the business, that they only do it for the love , and they don't actualy want to pay you anything!or you will live in the land of "Promise!

anyway DOM good luck and if they are realy good get me a job there too!
