Newbie From Austria

Discussion in 'Newbies Hangout' started by DonMoto71, Sep 24, 2019.

  1. Hi Girls,

    my name is Raoul, fresh 47 years of age, motorcycle and Ducati addict ever since.
    Current rides (besides some other older stuff) are a 999S track bike, a 750SS Nuda, a S2R1000 and as a project a 750TT1 which will become my vintage racer (and as a distant dream will safely bring me through a Classic IOM event)

    I am Austrian but due to my occupation I travel a lot.

    I grew up in a car workshop and I am definitely what is referred to as a petrolhead.
    I do all the work on my cars and motorcycles on my own, just every now and then if something is too big or too heavy, I have my specialists whom I trust.

    I did some track riding in the 1990ies, then moved on to Enduro sport for several years and finally gave up racing and just rode on the streets (as I live in an area where the alpine mountains begin I actually have FANTASTIC roads to ride on) until that year.
    Then I eventually returned on the racetrack with my purpose built 999S.
    Man this is a fantastic sport and hobby and by far my favourite pastime.

    In between races there are two daughters aged 15 and 18 which regrettably won't take to the track with me. Sorry guys.

    Raoul
