What a Biker, Romantic Biker

Middle-aged men are always smiling, every time I entered his shop, as ahead of this afternoon.

"This time it is needed," he said kindly.
"The shoes, but as usual, is 20 dollars," he said, as usual.
He showed a row of specialized motorcycle boots, leather from a kind of canvas.

"Try this," he said as he handed the leather shoes. After try this and that, the choice finally fell to the type of leather boots with two openings adhesive zippers.

In this shop, always mention the price is less than $ 200, so transactions efficiently. From the helmet, pants, boots above. He also bought one after another, which makes me and the grocer, same smile.

Bike ride, as a pilot, including expensive hobby in Switzerland, although not as expensive as in Jakarta. In Jakarta, only the rich who can ride a Harley or Ducati. In Switzerland, the origin would be frugal, if necessary, fasting on Mondays and
Thursdays, a little creative, sleep finally settles for nine years well done. I had to buy new pants and helmets and shoes. Want a cheap example, purchase of goods used in the online market, type of e-bay, a little hesitant. Only the jacket I bought in the online market, support of the other store customers. I'm not willing to overseas because just want to be a pilot.

What can be done, jackets, pants, helmets, boots and gloves, mandatory standards if you want a motorcycle in Switzerland. And the price is not friendly. The size of wages in the nurse's nursing home is. Thus, each entry in the store, if the owner come, always mention the price in advance,
not to be taken to a type of Harley Davidson items, asking for expensive forgiveness. Just two hundreds dollars per unit, which is generic, not more. And that is enough rip rip my wallet. I could not imitate friends like Rene. "Yes, he has his own company, Not compete, " said Angie, my wife, laughed with a laugh.

Not to mention having a course on a motorcycle in 12 hours, the time of its 40 dollars. And this is mandatory, can not be delayed or rejected if not Provisional Driving License wants to repeal. Ready ready to go bankrupt, although there guarantee of success may ride motorcycles. Failed bar exam, it loses money, loses Driving License, and should repeat from scratch if desired. I'll take the square stance KTM Duke 125cc, there is no practical test, if the Honda VTR 250 that failed.

He decided to become a pilot, although expensive, remains accessible to me. Even if money was not enough, my wife would certainly support. But It is a matter of money, if the decision is still an important issue in Large family law. Motor tends to be more dangerous than unit. If fault happen inevitably fall on the asphalt, without any other protection. "There were small children," said Stefan, one of brother.

Ay on the road, meaning of life will fall apart. Who is in child care, caring for the house if I'm in the hospital or even die? There was no maid, all are occupied, only 4% unemployment. One member the family is absent, resulting in the Hereafter in disarray. All going to bother, that's the mind that prevents me most is rider. This makes a lot of frowns of the family of my wife.

But over time he purchased, and eventually became a pilot as well, or even treatment to do. At least until next year, I can still pocket Driving License meanwhile. If it fails, try again, not again, try again. Still fail, KTM 125 Duke of choice.
