In my early 20s, my roommate constantly encouraged me to start riding motorcycles. At first I wasn’t very interested, but little by little I got drawn into the world of motorcycling. Before long, I realized I had become completely addicted to motorcycles.
Actually, I’m not a particularly fast rider compared to other motorcyclists. But motorcycles can take me wherever I want to go. When I was young, owning a car felt like a luxury beyond my reach, so motorcycles were my only way to travel freely.
One night, my roommate said something to me that has stayed in my heart ever since:
“People enjoy customizing and personalizing their Harley-Davidson motorcycles to reflect their own style and preferences.”
Those words left a lasting impression on me.
I had always wanted to experience riding a Harley-Davidson, but it felt out of reach for me. The turning point came in my mid-20s, when I found a relatively inexpensive Harley-Davidson advertised in a magazine. Back then, the internet was not as common as it is today.
Soon after I started riding a Harley-Davidson, I realized that some parts of my motorcycle should be modified to fit my riding style. It was the starting point of my career.
At first, my interest was focused only on customizing motorcycles. However, I now believe it is important to put effort into producing replacement parts and updated components so we can continue riding our beloved motorcycles. The situation is changing, and resources are becoming more limited. In this environment, determination and creativity are the only ways to move forward.
