Another Newbie

Postby Atomic Punk » Wed Jul 16, 2008 7:28 am

Hi I'm new on here, have had about 50 bikes, been a despath rider in London 8 years, Motorcycle instructor, chief instructor and motorcycle school manager. Also did a brief stint in motorcycle sales, assistant manager in a large motorcycle shop. I'm now an voice recording engineer in London and my current bike is a 02 Baggy. It had 7000k on the clock when I bought it last year with the only mod on it being a BSM Vampire exhaust. Unfortunatly I copped a dose of cancer in October last year which meant I was off the road until a couple of weeks ago. However while I was incapacitated I sent the bike to Slipstream to get it street tuned. £2000.00 later and the bike is back and being run in by yours truly, done about 200k so far and loving it. If anyone is interested I'll post the spec of what it's had done. Anyway thats me. :smt006
I may have lost my way but I'm way ahead of schedule

Hi there from another Baggi owner. It's so good you are able to get back out on a bike, bet it feels good, hope the recovery process continues well :-D

Would be interested to find out a little about what you had done to the bike.. and a bit more about where you had it done
