On this page, I would like to show you something of my greatest hobby (some
people call it passion or madness), riding motorcycles in general and making
long motorcycle trips in particular .
Me, having fun

Introduction
A long time ago, when I was a very young boy, I went with my uncle and aunt
to the motocross. I was sitting between them on my uncles Triumph Speed Twin
and when we went home after the cross, he let me sit on the tank and hold
the handlebars. That must have been the moment the bikebug hit me and after
that moment, it never went away ;-)

When I was sixteen, I bought my first moped and at seventeen I drove from my
home near The Hague to Luxembourg on my Benelli T50 moped, a two day trip
in the snow. It was in the Easter holliday.
At eightteen years old, I bought my first "real" motorbike, a Russian Ural
650cc boxer twin and since then I have had quiet a number of bikes. Now I
ride a BMW R1100GS and sometimes I ride my wifes Honda CB400T from 1978.
You can read about some of the trips I made on these bikes on the "
trips" page.
Here are the bikes;
