Den
Den spent his childhood in Plovdiv Bulgaria under strict Soviet control. Studying Graphic Design at University then leaving at the age of 21, to venture beyond the iron curtain.
His travels took him to America and beyond, working on motorcycles to help pay for the next flight. He returned home and set up a graphic design company in 2004 but dreamed of turning his hobby into something real. His brother owned a Ducati garage in Strasbourg, and it wasn’t long before Den was there, specializing on Ducati’s and learning the dirty art of motorcycles.
A chance trip the UK in 2010 lit the fuse, and he knew it was time to take what he’d learned and go it alone. He set himself up in his friends shed repairing motorcycles, customizing a couple of small Hondas. It was tough going but business picked up; word of mouth got around that there was this foreign fella who wasn’t scared of taking on any old bike!
Tonie
Tonie grew up in the backwaters of New Zealand. His home town of Westport gave him the freedom to Snowboard, Surf, MTB and ride motorbikes on beaches that run for miles.
His training as an electrician lead him into giant LED screen industry, working alongside famous musicians and on worldwide events.
Tonie brings an electrical background and product design skill to BGM. He also assists in the day to day operations.
(But if there’s a chance to chop up a frame, he’s in!)
