Introduction:
After having grown up surrounded by motorbikes I started my own motorbike "career" with a moped as soon as I was allowd at 16, this transitioned into geting my A1 motorcycle license (up to 25Kw) right after I got my car license. After having driven a 25Kw bike for 2 years this automatically transitioned into a full unrestricted A license.
As you can see below I nicknamed all my bikes with my own BTA nickname folowed with a number in the order that I got it.

BTA 1: KYMCO K12:
Back then you were not allowed to take driving lessons for a car or motorcycle license untill the age of 18, but you could get a special moped license from the age of 16. These mopeds had to have a cilinder of maximum 50cc and a max speed of 50 km/u (but you are not allowd to drive faster then 45 km/u).
After an accident where a truck driver did not give me right of way the moped was total loss. The engine however lived on and was build under a KYMCO DJ after I sold it, resulting in a freak hybrid between a K12 and a DJ.

My first real bike. Due to how the law was set up (at the time at least) you are only allowed to drive a bike up to 25Kw if you got your license before the age of 21. This one was therefore tuned back a little. The "Puig" fairing on the front of the bike is not standard as the GS500E is normally a naked bike Standard GS500E (Newer model - Picture from Wikipedia).

I bought this Gixxer After I got my full A motorbike license, it served me well for 12 years and it still looked almost brand-new when I sold it. The looks of this specific model are still one of my all-time favorites when it comes to (Super) Sport / Racing Bikes. I made some modifications during the years customiing the bike even more to my liking. Selling the bike was a difficult decision, but I finally decided that it was time for a bike more suited for relax touring. The mods incude among others:

This is (as of this writing) my current bike. I bought it after I decided it was time for a bike more suited to just relaxedly cruise around on compared with the Gixxer. I ended up going for the little brother of my dad's Intruder 1500 My dad's Intruder 1500LC. I went for the 800 as is a bit lighter in weight and more agile then the 1500. And even being "only" 800cc the bike still had plenty of torque and doesn't feel slow in the slightest.
