In 1987, when I was just 17, a friend of mine bought a motorbike, a 125cc. I thought it was totally awesome, mainly because of the independence and freedom I felt riding it. I remembered my sister's Honda 125 NSF in our garage, which she no longer rode, and begged to let me have it. As the bike was damaged, I repaired it, and the fun began. Fantastic, I felt like I was born for it! A burgundy metallized Honda Shadow 600 cc chopper followed, a Yamaha Tenerè 600 cc Chesterfield, a dark blue metallized Honda Shadow, this time with 1100 cc. I used it for everything, rode it to work, on holiday, practically everywhere. At 25 I sold my machine, got married and got my son Manuel. After 9 years, I couldn't stand it anymore and bought a beautiful white metallic Moto Guzzi California Special 1100 cc. I rode it to work, took Manuel to the kindergarten (which was of course quite cool... the only child which had such a privilege at the kindergarten) and used every free minute to go touring. Finally, I fulfilled my heart’s biggest desire: a red and black Harley Davidson Electra Glide Ultra Classic Limited 1450 cc built in 1999 (the first Twincam). At the moment, I already ride my second Harley Davidson, always Electra Glide Ultra Limited 1700cc, year of construction 2014 (the first one with a cooling system for the cylinder heads), a grey-black one, but this time with ABS for more safety.

By the way, Manuel also rides a motorbike and helps me out in my new job.
