Needless to say my parents where not impressed either when I showed my latest purchase standing in their garage. Two days later I sold it for double the money and the next couple of years I would spend buying, restoring & selling mopeds and motorbikes for a decent profit. Once 16 years old, I drove the moped I personally restored from a pile of parts to a reliable daily driver, and at 18 I got my motorbike license as soon as I could.
Now more than 25 years and about 40 motorbikes later, the bug is still there and my spare time is sill spend watching motorraces, actively competing in enduro racing or just browsing the internet to see motorbike content. If you are bitten by the same motorbike bug, I recommend you to check out my channel ABDCvideos.
