Roaring inside. Running. Riding. Silent and untameable in its restlessness it consumes me. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. Anger. Determination. Unspeakable words dancing on its own and flying with the wind. Small deeds to feel alive. In the morning, after getting out of bed, I go outside to take a plunge in the deep,…
First, let me clarify. Winter in Belgium are temperatures around 0°C, rain and mist. In theory we should have snow, but that hasn’t really been the case for quite some years. With riding I in turn mean taking your bike on a multi-hour spin. Back and forth to the shop in general shouldn’t be an…
You know, I’ve got very loud thoughts. They constantly scream for attention and the moment I try to remember what they want to tell me they run off again. It’s a bit like playing hide and seek, but losing most of the time. The best ideas pop up late at night when I am half…

Welcome to my first real crash or fall with a motorbike, with the first being for the ones among you who like some more sensation and drama in life. In my blog I try to be honest and share with you the adventures of life, but as it is life this also comprises clumsiness, tumbles…
