Since I was a child I dreamed of having a motorcycle, literally when I was 17 the desire to have and ride one began to grow stronger, it was a feeling that is really difficult to explain, that anxiety for wanting to feel the wind in my face since in my family no one ever had one, I never had that example to say that it is an inherited taste, I could say that it is something I was born with, and even after having several years of driving and several trips under them, every time I see someone driving their motorcycle on the road I feel an excitement and intrigue to know their destination and if I have been there, at that moment I would also like to have the route plotted and get on the trip, I have an appetite to take on the world kilometer by kilometer.
I began to fulfill my already big dream, clinging to what I always wanted and with my heart racing, against the criticism of everyone who knew him since I was already 36 years old and had 2 children, I turned a deaf ear and took courage to buy my first motorcycle, a Yamaha 125 hahaha on the second ride I realized that that bike was not for me, it had too little displacement for my appetite for adventure, I only lasted 3 months with it and from there I jumped to a BMW G 650 with it I felt like Cinderella in her slipper, it was perfect!! I began to make my first little trips on it and it was only like the appetizer of what would come later. My follow-up bike was following the line of BMW's dual purpose, I got an 850 GS, we started taking longer trips, to gain more experience, also more falls hahaha and the thing is that I've always liked to go into the dirt but I'm not the best, however I don't stop trying, a scrape on the fenders, others on the knees, we shook off the dust and up we go again. My current bike, my beautiful fat BMW GSA 1250, it has taken me where I always dreamed of, but I also always doubted whether I would achieve it, I have to say that I had many doubts and little confidence in myself, and that's the beautiful thing about motorcycling!!! You learn to know yourself, to surpass your limits, to trust in yourself, to enjoy even the most extreme, you learn to feel the world and you realize that you are capable of achieving everything you set out to do, in my case it was getting to Alaska from my Monterrey.
