I bought four years ago bike just because I waa offered one with 300€ and I had just sold two days before one of my artwork with 500€ so got extra cash. Didn't have passion for bikes and had not thought of buying one. Didn't have a place for it even when I bought it and had only tried a moped once as a kid and didn't have license. But the biker world where I got into has been a nice occasional excursion from my daily life which has add some things which I did not have in life - and danger and adventures too. I don't drive fast and don't like to take risks but it is enough that I ride that bike which I have fixed myself. I'm as good with engines as I'm with linux and maemo - I don't know how but I can try.
