....Motorcycles/Motocross:
Became one of my biggest passions since I have built my first "motorcycle-type vehicle" at age of 11. First MX Race @ 13 yrs old. At 15 I traded my 86 KTM 80 Motocrosser for a 1981 Honda CR 450R. Never regret the latter, and 20yrs down the road I still race exclusively CR 500, KX 500 and CR 480 on Motocross tracks - and with only a few exceptions every weekend. A few yrs ago a started my ambitious 500-evo restoration project, and by now the collection includes 81 CR 450R, 82, 2x83 CR 480, 84, 85, 2x86, 88, 90, 96, 01 CR 500, a 84-500Hybrid bike and a 90 KX 500.
