Bimota Mantra

The Bimota Mantra is a very special motorcycle. I even did use mine one year (including winter) to ride to work and home again. Here some photographs and some words about mine.

the XT500

The Yamaha XT 500 is an icon. And a very enjoyable bike to ride (well, if you have time to do the maintenance, that is...)

the VX800

I started riding a motorcycle in March 1994, on a red Suzuki VX800. You can read how it feels to go to Sweden, alone, on a motorcycle which you have owned for a month or two, in my  Sweden story ;-)

In Sweden. I discovered gravel roads, and found out how much fun it is to ride on not-very-well-paved roads. I started dreaming about riding off-road, and because I like to travel a lot too, my ultimate dream-bike was the BMW R1100GS.

So the next motorcycle in my motorcycle history was the  Bumble Bee.
