Also, when I started racing he knew a lot of people and it was more easy for me to find the first bike, so I have a good chance for sure.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The first bike that I bought was a Triumph 650. I really like the Triumph 650. I mean, of course, I've driven Harleys, and I think in 'Savage Seven' I drove an Indian, but - I really love Triumph.
Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.
I had a bike as a kid, and when I worked in Manhattan - I had a 10-speed - I rode from downtown to 68th and Madison for my day job. I knew about fighting traffic, but nothing about racing.
It wasn't until I went to college and I got my first motorcycle that I understood the thrill of speed.
A lot of fans know that I love motorcycles. That's a big love of mine. I could spend days on the bike if I had the time.
Having competed themselves, my father and my uncle are very passionate about motorsport, so I inherited it from them.
My buddy David Wells is a big motorcycle guy, so when I go visit him in San Diego, he takes me out on his bike. He's got some antique Indians. I never really rode during my career, because I was afraid I'd fall off and ruin my career.
It's quite easy to start Trials riding. You just need a bike and you're set.
I have two bikes: a classic 1978 Yamaha SR500 and a more modern Suzuki SV650. I've been into cars and bikes since I was tiny.
Once I decided to retire from bikes, there was no thought to go racing again. I wanted to have a full year off and maybe even see the world a bit.
