Title: Two fingers down from Spain Post by: Badboy on November 01, 2016, 02:43:39 PM Hi there! The name´s Salah. Living in Madrid.
Last bike, States side, was a 1200 Bandit. Been riding since 1979. France, UK, US, Canada, and "soon" Spain. Quotation marks ´cause they don´t recognize US licences here, so had to go back to school and start the process, all over, from the beginning. [coffee] A humbling experience for this badboy to be sure, especially in a new language. And with all the red tape... Ya gotta reeeeally want it... But I´ve got the bug bad, so... Short of actually riding, I spend time scouring this Forum for interesting info, and the local classifieds here for details on that well-maintained S2R 800 that´s just right for me. Cause I can´t wait to put some of the FANTASTIC advice I´ve gleaned here to good use! Cheers.

Take your bike and/or credit card and visit Pepo 8) https://www.facebook.com/XTRPEPO/ Title: Re: Two fingers down from Spain Post by: koko64 on November 01, 2016, 03:04:42 PM Very cool shop.
Title: Re: Two fingers down from Spain Post by: Badboy on November 02, 2016, 12:31:45 PM Thanks for the tip. I came across Pepo a couple of months ago while browsing and he is indeed a remarkable craftsman. But I think he´s quite out of my league, from what I can tell from his high-end race products.

[bow_down] He does projects throughout the complexity and price range - doesn't hurt to ask - unless you write a blank check ;D Title: Re: Two fingers down from Spain Post by: Badboy on November 04, 2016, 12:09:21 AM Thanks Koko64! And thanks Stopintime, I didn´t know he was so diversified in his range. I´ll try to get over my awe and give him a buzz or, even better, stop by his shop. Even if only to be up close to one of his bikes!
