Hey guys,
My name is Aaron and I work for BikeBandit as the head of content creation, where I manage our video production department, blog, and social media presence. I get paid to research bikes, ride bikes, work on bikes, and make videos about bikes every day, and I love it. A year and a half ago I didn't even work in the motorcycle industry, and here I am now, living the dream! :yea:
Now I had an awesome Raven 08 R1 that I was very happy with. I loved that bike. But when the new R1 came out, I just knew I had to have it. I wasn't even thinking about getting anything new until the 2015 was actually released, when I realized that this isn't just the latest R1...it is a genuine game changer in the entire industry.
In my job having a bike is important. But I thought having the new R1 specifically would really shake things up, and be good for both myself and my company's image. So I pushed hard to make it happen, leveraged some contacts in the industry, and ended up taking this bad boy home at an awesome "industry" price. I couldn't be happier with the way things worked out!
Here is the bike when I took delivery on a busy Saturday. The bike was drawing a crowd out in front of the dealership.
Shaking hands on the most exciting purchase I've made in years.
I got a huge kick out of the odometer showing "0 miles" when I picked it up.
First ride...across the parking lot to my truck! Yeah, I was nervous.
It'll be seeing a lot of this...the inside of the BikeBandit garage studio, where we do mods and product reviews. We're going to be doing a lot to this bike!
As of right now I already have parts on the way from a number of suppliers who sent us stuff to install on the bike, for both promotion of new products and for the purposes of filming how-to videos, which we're doing more of over at BikeBandit.
Some of this stuff is top secret and still unreleased, and we have some cool projects in the works involving this bike that I can't wait to share, but it's good stuff I guarantee you. :sneaky
Stay tuned!
