My introduction to bikes was by my uncle Willem.
When I was a little kid, he and my aunt took me on a ride to the motocross, sitting behind them on his Triumph Speed Twin. When we returned from the cross, he let me ride on the tank and hold the handlebars. I was in heaven !!!
Many years later, when I turned 18, he helped me buying my first bike, an Ural 650cc and learned me how to ride it.
After he moved to England and later to South Africa, I visited my uncle and aunt in my holidays and made some nice bike trips there, alone or together..
It was a real shock for me when he died at an accident with his Harley in South Africa some years ago. The car driver had not seen him.........
