Ciao!
My name is Allan, I'm half Italian (but that "Ciao" above is the most Italian thing I've ever done). I'm 19, lived in England, France and Texas. I'm very much into everything.
I'm coming to the end of my gap yah (year) now. Last summer I knew I'd have to get around myself this year, so the cheap option was to bike rather than car. Hoiked my leg over a Vanvan and 2 weeks later had a license. Days later I had a Curvy SV650, rode it 2000 miles in 2 weeks (none of it on motorway too). Piled up another 5000+ miles, and learnt it was too small for me (6'7") so I upgraded. Now own a b-e-a-utiful bike (drumroll) VFR800 V-Tec!!! BOOYEAH! Who's with me?! (Looks around for support, failing). 10 months down the line now and I've done about 10,000 miles or more, and this is only the beginning.
And god dammit, I'm bloody addicted to bikes.
