Here we go

I’ve been wanting to do this for a while now. Start my own blog, enter the World Wide Web. But ‘shit happens’ and you never get around to it.
Since I could remember, I’ve always been into bikes. I always wanted to get a Honda NSR 250, after watching Full Throttle with Andy Lau. Man, I was hooked. Growing up, my uncles had bikes. One had a sidecar and he’ld always take us for rides. I think it was a honda GL1000. I think he’s got it. He use to rip around left corners and throw the sidecar into the air. It scared the freakin shit outta me. At the same time it was fun as hell.

Since then I always wanted to get a bike. At the ripe age of 28 I got my 1st bike. A CBR 250. I guess it’s the closest thing to my dream NSR. I cant explain the the feeling of riding, its one of the best feelings in the world. Its like total freedom. Till the cops pull you over Haha.

I’ve riden a few bikes and honestly jap bikes are cool. But its like the wind its comes and goes. I’m really digging old school bikes..you know cafĂ© racers and bobbers…OLD SCHOOL baby. Their looks are timeless.

I’m just intrigue with the old school culture. The style, fashion and culture back then. Rockers, Greasers, chopping. They rode their bikes, none of this jumping on the bangwagon and joining the fad. They lived it.

These days these jap bikes just dont do it for me. For instance the TNT Benelli. Damn thing looks like it going to transform. ‘Autobots Roll Out’!

I just dig the old school bikes, fine and simple lines. Well they say beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
