About Me

This blog was created to share information about my electric (and non electric) Motorcycles, Photography and anything else that comes to mind.

You can find my video content on either my English YouTube channel or my Dutch YouTube channel. I also have a separate channel about Photography.

You can find pictures on my instagram account. I gave up on Twitter and Flickr so Instagram and this blog are my socials now.
