Hi guys! For starters, my name is Stephan, 30 years old and i'm from The Netherlands. As some people never heard of it, it's north of Belgium and east of Germany

Well, got my motorcycle license when i was 18 years old cause i've been sitting on the back of dad's motorcycle since i was 8, so it wasn't really a question wether i was gonna ride myself. Well, what can i say, these days i'm riding an FZR600R for commuting every day (it has done 105.000km now and still going strong!) and my Tiger 1050 (2010) is for travelling purposes. That having said, travelling is my greatest passion. When i'm at home, i'm always thinking about the next trip. I have this great urge to explore the world by bike. Came home 3 weeks ago from a 21-day trip through the Balkan (Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, Albanie, Bosnia and back). 5200km.

My favourite country so far is Scotland. Visited Scotland last year and again this year. Highly addictive!

Ok, so what am i doing here you might wonder. Well, i always wanted to do a proper wheely. Tried and practised a few times on my "regular" bikes, but after a couple of try's i always thought "what am i doing to my bike". In other words, i was being gentle with my bikes. But to set a new goal, i want to be able to make proper wheelie by summer 2016. So, i bought a '03 CB500 with 57.000km's last Saturday! In excellent condition. Ordered myself steel brake lines a few hours ago, front + rear.

So, yeah, that's me!

 

And offcourse, i meant west of Germany.....

Since we're at it, this is my stock CB500:
