Introduction / Hello from Austria
« on: 28 August 2015, 06:43:46 pm »
Hi guys,
I'm a native inhabitant of Austria, currently living in the largest city we can come up with around here - Vienna.
I have received some great technical help and advises here already when i realized, I haven't even properly introduced myself yet.
Having the license to ride motorbikes for 20 years now I never really found time and/or money to actually exercise my right to ride. Until last year that was where I suddenly felt the urge to try whether i could still do it (midlife crisis was knockin', i assume). So I rented a small inazuma for a week and that's when the infection started ...
A few other rental-rides later, I decided to finally get one of my own ... "cheap, universal, reliable" was what I was looking for, so I picked a trusty and well cared for old (99) FZS 600 as my first own bike. She had 33t km on the counter and I am the 3rd owner now.
After some really useful and educational trainings I chose to take on my first longer trip during summer vacation. I decided to go just a bit further down south and cruise some mountain passes in northern italy. Great weather, perfect conditions and evaded much of the summer heat we had during that time in the city ... looking forward to many more such travels to come.
Added two pics of my trusty steed. First one was taken when I bought it, the second one is from the tour in the dolomites (taken at Passo di Gardena ... but more bike, less mountain/panorama-shot ... i'd have chosen some more panoramic ones, but they dont feature the bike)
