I'd like you to know more about me.
Regarding the motorcycles mostly.
Since I remember, there was always some motorcycle in the background.
And my first motorcycle...
check this out...
I got as a gift.
My dad was really generous and many years ago when I was a kid
he got for me a Honda XR70.
This was a bike with semi-automatic clutch and therefore no clutch lever.
However, it had 3 gears.
I'm not from a generation that rode old bikes like WSK, Junak and the rest.
I on the other hand started "in the mud".
And I was into it a lot!
From the beginning I really liked the style of motocross itself.
And these motorcycles.
What was the best was the sound of that 4-stroke Honda XR70!!!
It was sounding better than larger motorcycles that...
... that my dad was owning.
Well, till today I remember how he was laughing about it!
I don't know how old I was but maybe 7...
8? I don't remember if I was at school yet or not.
7, 8, 9, maybe 10...
The next challenge after the Honda - since it was brought to me as well,
was a KTM.
In terms of physical size it was really tiny.
It was a KTM SX65.
This time it was a 2-stroke motorcycle.
And it was a challenge indeed.
I remember many stories with it.
Including an interesting flight through the handlebar in some forest in the north.
This, yeah, I remember this very clearly.
I also remember that many falls resulted in throttle getting stuck.
I really don't know how this was happening.
But the throttle was stuck while fully opened... :D
It was causing lots of noise and smoke.
Plenty of stuff flying around as well!
Then when I was 13 and I could get a moped licence
a Yamaha DT50 appeared in front of me.
This is how I appeared on the streets.
Till that time I was only allowed to ride on private roads.
It was a great thing that helped me commute a lot.
Not necessarily a sports bike hunter
but really cool for a young guy.
Just when I reached 16 years old
I could get an A1 licence for 125 cc motorcycles.
That's when I started riding a Honda Varadero 125.
And that was my choice!
That was something as it was a full-size bike!
The Honda was black, had a 4-stroke engine and...
... limited to a speed of 85 km/h.
It didn't bother me too much in morning traffic in Warsaw.
From time to time I managed to ride my dad's KTM.
It was an EXC 450.
4-stroke engine that could give me the preformance that I liked.
And brutal roar of the engine.
Then the story is much more up to date.
After short episodes with a BMW R 1150 RT
that I was borrowing from daddy
I got onto my deam motorcycle.
Beautiful, deep-sounding, quick and cherry-colored machine
that I have till this day - a Suzuki DL 1000.
It's being taken care of by Michał Szrama from Warsaw
who is the only person that I trust
and who repaired the thread that I broke in the slot for draining engine oil.
He was the only one to agree to try to fix it and he did it in his service.
He was always helpful and absolutely everyone who...
... who I recommended him to,
was super happy with my recommendation.
Good service is extremely important.
That is not just a slogan.
If you have someone you can trust, consider yourself very lucky!
It's the same regarding a motorcycle, a car and everyday life!
So I'm really happy that I could share this story with you.
New chapters are written every other year.
I did not mention the motorcycles that
the dealers were giving to me for test rides.
It was many of them, however...
the only very special to me is and will be my first Suzi!
