At the age of 18, I started taking driving lessons
on a motorcycle, because for all my life motorcycles
have fascinated me. {My parents both ride a
motorbike...) Why the hell should I drive a car...I
can't even afford one myself!!!
Being a student is very hard sometimes...no
money, no money, no money.. But I had to find a way
to transport myself, so a motorbike is a good
option. It's cheap and it's fast. Anyway, after 6
months I got the famous license in my pocket. I
already had a bike in the garage for 3 months, a 23
kW Suzuki LS650 Savage... It's a nice bike to start
with. Not that fast on the highway, but good for
cruising and better than nothing. I've ridden that
bike for 2 years.
Last June, I was allowed to drive heavier
machines (that damn Dutch law...first 2 years max 25
kW if you're under the age of 21). My father used to
ride on a Super Magna, before he decided to choose
Hardley Davidson. So I was familiar with the Super
already. Now comes the hardest part...Finding a
cheap but nice looking Super BEFORE June, cause the
Savage was just for staying under 25 kW.
And YESSS, I found one. A blue 87 VF750C (yes,
750 cc from 1987). But It looked a bit like crap,
because it had been in the same room as the owner's
horses (!). So the aluminium of the front fork was
really corroded. But now, after hours of polishing
and putting some new components on (like the Laser-Jama
exhaust), I'm very, very happy with my sweet Super.
This winter, I'll probably paint it. But only God
knows the colour...
