I'm always having trouble answering folk who ask for my reasons to ride a motorcycle. It's tough because with a question like that I usually start talking for at least 3 hours non-stop. I'm just VERY passionate about two wheelers. So I thought it would be a neat idea to make a video basically answering this question. And since last year was a pretty good one - at least bike-related that is - I thought this would be a nice start for me to use some of the glorious scenes I captured in 2015. All kinds of bikes and all kinds of riders trying to have the best of times. That's what riding motorcycles means to me.

I have to admit me making and releasing this video at this time of year is no coincidence. A lot of factors in my personal life changed since I started studying again in September 2015. I'll record a quick English vlog soon to explain this better. But to make a long story short: as long as I'm studying full-time I can't afford to live a bikelife any longer. Which is not the end of the world since I should be done with my studies in one and a half years from now. But instead of temporarily resigning I'm asking for your help first:
