Come work for Navman...

Your bike will have plenty of company. Amazing how a bit of sunny weather and a lack of parking brings 'em out.

Let's see, what do we have... XJR1300, F650, ZX-7R, Zeal, R1, XV250, GSX1100, weird yellow BMW and some nasty-ass old Honda 600 thumper with knobblies.

There's a Firestorm and a VFR750 around somewhere, too, but I think they parked in the other building today. And one of the new guys just admitted that he'll be hauling out his winter-shy Road King and bringing it in tomorrow.

Any other (non-bike-shop-employee) people here with decent bike populations at work?

That heap of rubble to the left, is it a 12 month old Guzzi per chance?

number of staff, only eight, but about 50% of us have bikes. When everyone has their bikes at work we have two R1's, a V Max, ZXR750RR and another guy has sold his GSXR600.

Hi Claire,

I see you are riding R1. It's pretty cool for a female to ride an R1 tho. How long have you been riding motorbike, if you don't mind i ask?

Hehe, which hooligan has the mighty XR in the back ground? Does he wheelie it?

**Hitcher** · 13th January 2005, 13:04

What's all that crap wrapped around your Zeal's arse?

The owner of the business where I work keeps 10 shity bikes here,along with lawnmowers,rotary hoes and parts for cars he thinks he ''might need some day''.I reckon we could fit 3 more cars in the shop if he would clean up his act.

$10 bungee net, for those without five-hundred-litre panniers and auto-wave-back buttons.

Nah. Bikes in photo are the ones I listed in my earlier post. The R1 is barely visible, you can just see the letters on its pretty lil' piece of blue tail peeking out behind the F650...

Yeah, alright then.

We have some 85 employees (at a guess - they keep arriving and leaving) and 3 bikes (CBR600, SV650, some blue old man's bike) and one scooter (QT50J).
Quite a few people here have said "I used to ride a bike but..." before they got boring or whatever.

Careful, or I'll write you out of my Will...

Harrumph - yellow BMW not weird, just minus screen (for post-apocalyptic/apoplectic super-moto look) and plus rack in place of back seat (for carrying shopping).

Sniff.

**Blakamin** · 13th January 2005, 14:51

Is it yours, then? PM me and tell me who you are. Presumably you're not from PCN, or I would have seen the bike over at FTD. There are a few Navman KBers, I'll have to introduce you.

Hot dang, but this company is growing fast, I probably only know 20% of the employees now...
