Jim Aim

Post by Whysub »

Just heard that Jim Aim, owner of Jim Aim Motorcycles, passed away at his home today. Aged 89, he was still riding in pre 65 scrambling events.

Bought my first proper bike from his small shop in Sible Headingham in 1976, and over the years bought many more from him, but never a KTM.

Really lovely bloke, always made time to have a chat.

RIP Jim.

A good innings and a life enjoyably lived by the sound of it.
RIP

Sad news but sounds like he had a decent life which is all we can ask for.
