For a few years in the seventies I was into motorcycle racing. I did not follow up on it for a long time. However, I kept on using the motor bike regularly. Then a few years ago I started racing again but now in the ‘Classic Scene.' Last year I even raced on a modern motorbike.
This year, together with my son Tom, who is 19 years-old, we are a team in the SV Cup (Suzuki). This is a so-called standard class wherein everyone uses the same type of motorbike, same tires, same horsepower, weight, etc. At 58 years-old I am by far the oldest guy in the number of entrants, but I can still keep up quite well. It was a pity that I missed two races this year, but nevertheless I came in at number nine in the championships.
I got my best result a few weeks after taking the Avatar Master Course in Willingen. I finished in second place. And then I knew: Avatar has given me wings...!
