Here’s why Bikemod is not your typical motorcycling website…<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"James<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Do you have an insatiable passion for motorcycling? Are you thinking about modifying your motorcycle but not sure where to start? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hi, I’m James Banks \u2014 Founder & Editor-in-Chief of Bikemod. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m certainly a late bloomer when it comes to motorcycling. I did not grow up with them thanks to my parents’ adamant belief that motorcycles are more dangerous than heroin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, I had never ridden a motorcycle up until my mid-to-late twenties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It wasn’t until a mate of mine asked me if I wanted to have a crack on his Honda CRF250. Only after tearing it around his farm for I few hours that I realised what I had been missing out on…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Little did I know that faithful decisions would ignite a passion that would become an obsession with how to make things with two wheels go faster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My entire adult career to date has been devoted to riding a desk job, not a motorbike. Consequently, I haven’t had the chance to learn how to turn a wrench let alone how to modify a motorcycle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since learning how to ride on that CRF250, I went and got my provisional licence on a Honda CBR300R. I spent my first year on my open licence riding a Honda CBR600RR. After realising I had no idea how to corner the bike properly, I downgraded to my current bike, the KTM RC 390. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I’ve been learning how to properly <\/em>ride a sports bike, I’ve been modifying and improving my RC 390. It’s through Bikemod that I’ll be sharing my journey as I learn the art of motorcycle riding and modification. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I certainly don’t consider myself a guru when it comes to motorcycles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And I’m definitely far from being an expert bike mechanic. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m just a guy who’s mad keen on bikes and wants to share his journey in hope that I can inspire to get into motorcycling as well. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, if you’re as crazy about motorbikes as I am, join me on this journey as I build Bikemod into one of the best motorcycling websites on the internet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\t
