Hey everyone, am Shad from England - lovely to be here and thank you for having me.
I’m 28, living in Bristol and passed my CBT a few years ago - I actually embarrassingly started on an electric moto called a Maeving RM1 capped at 125 as I used to live in London thinking it would be convenient.
It was kind of half in half out but it made me fall in love with being on two wheels and going fast, so upgraded to a proper manual bike - a 21 Ninja 125 and sped run my full license. She’s bright green and garish but I love her and still have her. Can’t say the same for the electric moto.
Currently restoring a written off Bonneville with the hopes of it one day being my daily rider.
In my day to day life I work in manufacturing, but a little pet project of mine is an app I started working on after a different favourite of mine became a subscription, it started as a parking app just for motorcycles but kind of became a bit more useful than that - I’d love to know if anyone here would like to test? Right now it does parking, routes. Still very much a work in progress but if anyone wants to help test they can do so through Apple’s test platform. I hope to add ways of adding petrol stations, motorcyclist friendly cafes, points of interest and much more. I’ve tried to keep it easy to use with gloves on/off etc. Let me know what you all think if you try it out
Otherwise, thanks for having me and looking forward to chats in the Workshop and Repairs group which will no doubt be helpful. Wonderful to see such a large community here
