So Hi there everyone from switzerland 🇨🇭 I stopped riding motorcycles after a serious accident in 2014. In the region where I lived at the time, motorcycles were often unwelcome, and in my case that hostility turned into something dangerous. A round manhole cover had been deliberately positioned so that its front edge stuck up into the road. I hit it at around 80 km/h while cornering. The bike stood up, I was thrown into a high curb and then into a dirtwall on the opposite side of the street. The motorcycle was totaled, my shoulder was severely shattered, and I was very lucky that my spine was not injured. After that, I never got back on a motorcycle—and for years, I never even considered it. That changed in 2021, when I met my partner. She had always wanted to learn how to ride. For her birthday in May 2024, I bought her a motorcycle so she could start practicing. Helping her learn slowly changed something for me as well. Step by step, I felt the desire to ride again. Long story short: by the end of 2024, I ordered a new adventure bike, which I received in January 2025. I started practicing seriously, focusing on structured training and SMART practice principles. Since then, I’ve ridden roughly 16,000 km in 2025 alone, across more than 10 countries—on road and off road. Today, I ride with passion, humility, and a strong focus on continuous improvement. Learning to ride better, safer, and more consciously is what motivates me—and that’s exactly why I’m here.
