The story.
Well, first thing's first. It’s kind of a nice story about the will to ride. When I was in high school, I wanted to have a motorcycle. My mother told me she used to ride a motorcycle when she was young. I found that very exciting. At one point, I had raised some money but I was in love with playing the guitar and I had to choose between a very old and rusty Zundapp from the World War II and an electric guitar. I went for the guitar back then and I don’t feel sorry for that. As time passed, the desire to ride two wells never disappeared. The thought that 5 of my friends have died in stupid accidents while riding or related with it, made me delay for about 15 years my decision to apply for a motorcycle driving license.
So I was standing in a bus station alone waiting for the bus, with very confusing thoughts about the things I wanted to do in life, had recently broken up with a girlfriend and it seemed to me like I was going nowhere. Suddenly, a guy on a white motorcycle came (in the bus station) and parked in front of me. I can’t figure out why that image had such an impact on me. Not the guy, if you’re thinking that :)). That rider saw that I was impressed, so he invited me to get on the bike. He told me it was written on my face that I wanted that.
I shyly accepted while he was buying something from a store nearby. I didn’t ride it. I just got on the bike. It was clear to me that I wanted to ride a motorcycle, from that moment.
That bike was a Yamaha DragStar. Pretty close to what I have in my mind.
The next thing I did was find a good school for riding license. I had the best luck in the world. My brother gave me the number of a very good teacher. For a fair price, I learned to ride naked street, enduro and speed motorcycle. I was taught to ride, not only to pass the exam. For example, I was taught how to get over the border of a sidewalk and other very useful things. Thanks Robert! You are the best!

Choosing the bike.
The bike that I wanted would have followed the next parameters:
• Cardan transmission
• V-type motor with 2 cylinders
• 500 cc or more
• The feet had to be under the body during riding
• Not a very big bike
• A good brand
• Reliable
After a long research on the internet, I discovered the Moto Guzzi brand and their beautiful products. I fell in love with the V7 model. Unfortunately, even a used one was too expensive for me. However, there was an old model with the motor block identical and with a lower price, on the second-hand market. That bike is the Moto Guzzi Breva 750 i. e.

Just happy to feel it. |
The end of the beginning.
The next posts will be about the problems and solutions that I found for the bike and other stuff that I think could be useful for others.
The bike didn't start, but I was still very happy. |

ReplyDeleteHello Sorin Petrila,
ReplyDeleteThis is very required information you served here. Same question arises to me when I was going to know how to ride a motorcycle. But later when I knew how to ride a motorcycle,then it became clearer to me. But it is difficult for most of the people. So, I hope your post will help the people a lot. Thanks.
