Welcome to Motostitch

Thanks for having me.
I'm originally from Western Spain, but lived in Germany for several years after University. 2 years ago I moved to The American South West, Arizona to be exact.

I ride 6 bikes. 2023 -Tracer 9GT, 2021 -T7, 2021- XSR7, 2023 TW200, 2022 GWing and a 2022 CMX500.

Hello!

I like a good aged Spanish ham with a nice white wine, and German beer. Oh and German red heads (had to add this in case my wife sees this)

I'm here to learn and share what I know. I do extensive traveling by 4x4 Vehicle and motorcycles, both on and off road.
I'm adept at photographer but a total noob when it comes to video. After starting my You Tube channel at the insistence of friends and my wife, I realized I know less tan I thought, which is alarming considering I know noting outside of composition.
I also want to do some podcasting because I love telling stories. I'm still young but was fortunate enough to be able to retire at a young age so I have a disgusting amount of free time that is spent tinkering with electronics or traveling to see what I can see.

Photos of my bikes, yes. Here are some iPhone pictures i have handy, in my handy.

Nice collection!

By Gwing do you mean Goldwing? Also which bike is your overall favorite.

Yes a Gold Wing Bagger. I was humbled by an old guy on a Gold Wing with his wife on the back. I was on a sport bike LOL. I had to have one when I came to the US. Although I later found it not to my ergonomic taste and will be getting rid of it soon, its an amazing machine.

I don't really have a favorite bike. Ive had GS1200's, KTMs Ducatis and many more. They are all different and they are all the same. In the end they are just things that get me to were I'm going. Right now I own several Yamahas, but that's mostly due to my friend owning a Yamaha dealership and the availability of motorcycles.

If I had to measure favorite by the amount of fun I have on a bike at the moment, I have to say the TW200. Its slow, under powered and has no tech. But its the only bike I ride with a permanent grin. If I didn't live 3 kilometers away from a huge riding area, it would be a different bike.

That's probably more than you asked for, but that's a thought provoking question for me. Motorcycles are not part of my personality, they are just another passion of mine like cameras, kayaks and bicycles. So I guess I don't have a favorite, but I do have some I rather avoid.

Those Wings are faster than they look.

I just got back from lunch and was behind a TW200. The rider seemed to be enjoying a nice lunchtime stroll:)

After many years of traveling and living in different countries, I have come to realize there are only two truths in motorcycle dogma.
One- If you suffer a mechanical problem in the middle of nowhere, a KLR rider with a zip tied milk crate top box will magically appear and have the tools and know how to fix the bike you are on.
Two - Anyone riding a TW200 will be smiling under their helmets as they ride blissfully unaware of the kilometers of traffic piling up behind them.

I only met one KLR out on the road but I was not broken down. I was stopped in 110° F heat in the shade at rest stop near Yucca, AZ. The KLR rolled in. The rider was soaked through all his mesh gear. He was on his way to sell the bike.

The TW200 riders could be in a hypnotic state from trying to will out just a little more speed. They could be concentrating so hard they are seconds away from...

Seriously, anything on two or three wheels is worthy of respect.

LOL - I know a current KLR rider who happens to be a former TW rider, and I'm sure he will agree with both of those!

I concur that your stable of bikes is most impressive! With as many amazing rides as you have out there, no wonder you need some touring variety. Welcome!
