ABOUT ME
It all started in June 2004… a realization of a lifelong dream…
Okay, so I bought my first bike, a Suzuki SV650S. 2 years later, I’m got my second bike, a 2006 K1200R.
It is literally twice the bike the SV650S, at least power-wise. But as someone explained it to me, it’s a grown-up bike. It’s very well composed and while it has a lot of power, it’s not a temperamental bike. After all, it’s on the right wrist.
I’m here because I love to ride. I’m also here to learn, grow, and support the motorcycle community.

That was quite an informative and interesting presentation. Andy's style is very relaxed and informal, very personal, made you feel you're just among friends.
