Roaring inside. Running. Riding. Silent and untameable in its restlessness it consumes me. Nowhere to run. Nowhere to hide. Anger. Determination.

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…
