Why did you choose to work in the motorcycle industry?
Because I want to spend my time in what I am most passionate about

What do you think the future of the motorcycle industry is?
It needs to satisfy a new and different generation which look at and use motorcycles in a different way. This new generation will probably use the bike as a personal expression and every day transport at the same time. New riders want to own and ride something different to everyone else without paying a premium.

What is your greatest life achievement so far?
To be happy

What has been your biggest regret to date?
Not riding enough

Any last words?
I am very excited to defend our crown, be able to share our passion and work with all of the Hot Bike Tour attendees and long riders, to ride along with them in some of the best roads and making new friends while sharing some good stories with a cold beer in hand
