That's a good looking bike


I live in Sundsvall, the center of Sweden.

I work as a system engineer at Semcon, Sweden's largest technical consulting firm.



 I'm addicted to watching Friends, Seinfeld, Beavis & Butthead, South Park and The Simpsons.

Motorcycles

In my spare time I like to ride my motorcycle, a Yamaha YZF-R1. Actually, I like anything with an engine! Best of all is a smoky two-stroker!
Power to the people My motorcycling frenzie started early with a Honda Z50 Monkey Bike, now a cult bike. At age 16 I rode a Yamaha RD125LC -83 like there was no tomorrow. After that I had a Yamaha XJ600 -84, a really good allround sport 600. I later bought a Yamaha FZ750 -87, the first FZ full dresser with a 4-1 exhaust. The killer 750 that started the Genesis concept. Then I decided to be without a motorcycle for the first time in a long time. That was stupid and lasted only one summer (a very sunny one of course :-) before I just had to buy a Yamaha (again!) XT600 -84. A single cylinder four-valve, four-stroke offroad bike. I bought it in november but I had spiked tires so I went out riding a lot in the winter. After the XT came a Kawasaki (a trend was broken!) ZX-6R -95, the ultimate 600 cc racer. In -99 I traded it for a Yamaha YZF-R1, the best bike ever! Sadly my beloved R1 got stolen this summer and I didn't get any compensation from the insurance company until the season was over so I bought a motocross bike instead, a Honda CR250 -97. It's supercool to ride a beast with 58 hp at only 98 kg!

Cars

When I can't ride I drive my new Land Rover Freelander. My favorite car to have fun with would be the beautiful Lotus Elise.

Sports

I tried lots of sports but did not like anyone until I found Karate. Later I understood that Karate was not a sport but a way of life. I have trained since I was 15 years old and hold a black belt in Shotokan Karate. It's a great way of fine tuning mind and body.

I also ride my mountain bike a lot in the summer. It's an exciting way to exercise.

Recently I started inline skating but in a city like mine with a lot of steep hills it can be very painful!

For next summer, I plan to start riding a motocross bike to prepare for my goal of competing in Gotland Grand National, Sweden's biggest motorcycle event.
