The bike life
Motorcycles have been in my life for a very long time. At the age of 11, I started to ride motocross. Before that age, I spent lots of time on a BMX track. Motocross has been a big part of it, as my dad was a big fan of the sport and followed the world championship races very closely. Seeing the sports on the first row brought the need to ride on 2 wheels.
At the age of 15, I experienced a horrible crash where I hurt my back in 3 different spots. At that moment I also lost feeling in my legs. I have been lucky that the feeling came back after a day and I promised myself to quit MX racing. However bikes are like an addiction, it is like a virus that gets you…
When I see bikes I want to look at them and see the different changes people made to them. Getting to smell the burned fuel coming out of the exhaust always brings a smile. For sure some people will think it’s strange, but people with the bike virus know what I am talking about…
In my previous blog, I wrote about my first ride with my Vespa. Riding in the town is absolutely fine, but I want to ride my 2-wheeler where my feeling brings me, to capture special places, moments, and people. Riding kilometers with the bike felt unsafe because it didn’t give me a real safe feeling when I wanted to ride 150km with it. So I stepped it up. There is one Italian 2 wheeler coming my way… and I am already planning some adventures.
Here you can see some pictures I took from my first Vespa ride, some very beautiful BMW from the oldies.
