It all began when I sat on a bicycle for the first time. Locomotion on two wheels was fascinating and exciting. At the age of 14 I got my first ticket – speeding on a bicycle!

Soon I was the owner of a driving licence for small motorbikes and destroyed the engine of a friends RD50.

In the late 70ties I moved to Vienna for further studies and bought soon a solid motorbike, a R45 made by BMW. From now on I always rode motorbikes until present.
