Life is short and when it comes to decisions you have to listen to your heart and your desires.
Since I was a young boy I always remembered myself on a motorcycle, back then it was behind my father (a motorcycle rider as well) riding into the dreams, and nearly all over Greece, when I became 19 I had already travelled to most parts of Southern Greece, Islands, Mainland all over Greece with my father and his motorcycles.
I soon had my passion, I knew someday I would have my motorcycle; I had to have my motorcycle and nothing would change this!
Years passed, I finished school and became a University student, I had also my first job and everyday life was so busy and hard for me I had nearly no free time to anything, or when I had some free time I wanted to rest and relax from my everyday pressure.
A few years later (1999) and I receive my driving (well actually it should be called riding) license, and I also had the honor to choose a new bike! Yes that would be my father’s gift! I soon decided and I was on 2 wheels, striving to find myself running along the roads of Athens, I had a small bike so long trips where out of the question!
Years passed and many different motorcycles passed my life, I had the opportunity to ride different styles and taste the differences between each other. I soon ended falling in love with street bikes and since 2005 I am deeply in love with my Honda CBR 1000RR, a motorcycle that offered me so many happy moments, traveling and cornering, short and long adventures!
The addition of photography into my hobbies / passions created the need to find ways to reach more abandoned places in Greece, that meant 2 available choices, either get a driver’s license (car) or get a second bike which has the capability to reach the more abandoned places (I am not even considering miss-treating a lady not build to be treated like that –that’s the CBR -) it didn’t take too long to reach a decision, a second bike would be added into my parking lot!
The search was not that intense, it only took me around 1 week to reach my choice! BMW 1150GS 2002 model is going to be the second addition to my motorcycle list!
I already have planned my winter trips totaling something over 6000km’s around Greece, routes have been planned, information is being collected and additionally I am looking over Italy, Alps, Germany and Holland as the big trip taking place somewhere around June next year (hoping everything is going to be fine!).
I also had a pleasant surprise from an old friend when I heard that he will join the photographic adventures! I didn’t have any news from him for a long time, until recently when I received a phone call from him; it made me rather happy to hear that apart from motorcycles he was also into photography the last few years, so now there is another fellow 2 wheel companion to join the routes!
