Tricker
Newsflash: I bought myself a motorcycle! It’s a Yamaha XG250 Tricker, like this one here. I’ll try to get around to snapping a shot of my own Tricker, even if it’s just standing in the garage waiting for spring right now…
I guess you could say that this is my ultimate camera accessory. The Tricker will get me further from home than my bicycle, and it will get me to places where the car can’t go. Plus, it’s infinitely more fun than a car! Until I break my bones, anyway…
I’ve wanted a motorbike since I was a teenager. Most of the time the bike dream has been dormant, but every once in a while something would happen that makes it surface, only to be dismissed again. But since one of my new neighbours turned out to be an experienced biker, I figured that this is the best chance I will ever get. He can teach me everything I need to know about motorbikes, and most importantly – he can teach me how to ride one!

Congratulations! I wasn´t aware that you like to have a motorbike. I´ve got the license at my 30th birthday and I am still happy with my motorbike – a black Kawasaki Z750. Welcome to the biker scene.
I can recommend the DVDs from Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman “Long Way Round” and “Long Way Down” to get a taste of what is possible and the fun you can have.

Congratulations! I hope we will see some more special pictures here in the future and no pictures from the hospital
… safety first! Or is it possible to reduce the horse power of the bike to 3 – 5 HP? I need to check this with David

Hehe, no worries – I will go shopping for a helmet tomorrow. And a padded jacket. And padded trousers. Gloves and boots are probably a good idea as well…
Okay, now, this is quite a move from you! Not the first thing to think of
There’s a tiny motorcyclist inside everyone of us, maybe.. Congrats!
