Interview Date: July 31, 2013
Interview Location: Via the internet
Scootcommute: When did you start riding, how old were you?
Sonja: I am not telling my age but I hold a motorcycle drivers license since 1992.
Scootcommute: How many motorbikes have you owned?
Sonja: 13
Scootcommute: What is your current bike, and is the current bike your favorite?
Sonja: I own a 2008 Harley Davidson Sportster 883 and a 2012 Vespa GTS 300 Supersport - I could do without a motorcycle but the current Vespa is my all time favourite.
Scootcommute: Talk to me about the most challenging riding skill you learned.
Sonja: Counter-steering and correct positioning before turns on the 'wrong' side of the road in New Zealand with a little help from two local bloggers.
Scootcommute: Are you a moto-commuter, a tourer, or a fair weather rider?
Sonja: All of it but mostly commuting.
Scootcommute: Are you a solitary rider? How about riding in a group?
Sonja: Small groups up to four are ok but need a lot of compromising and adjustment already, hence I prefer riding with hubby or riding alone.
Scootcommute: I dare you to share an awkward or embarassing riding moment.
Sonja: It was on a tight hairpin turn in Monaco when I dropped my fully loaded bike and wasn't able to pick it up because it was in an awkward position downhill.
Scootcommute: What is the best place your bike has taken you?
Sonja: I had many 'best places', most of them in Europe, but best roads? Oregon springs to mind.
Scootcommute: Tell me why you ride.
Sonja: It still has this adventurous touch to it, and it is easy to meet people that way, be it on the road or on the world wild web.
Scootcommute: If I could grant you one riding wish, what would it be?
Sonja: Iceland on a Triumph Scrambler.

"Iceland on a Triumph Scrambler" - Now that would be a great time!
Sonja!! We miss you and you haven't even been gone long.
Iceland has been on my bucket list since childhood days ;-)
Same here, hope to see you again one fine day.
It would be a very fine day indeed if a bunch of bloggers happened to vacation in Provence or Tuscany in a way that allowed for an overlap of two or three days for moto touring. Who knows, it could happen.
Let me know, and I will be there ;-)
Hmmmm... Maybe a sign up sheet...
Brandy, Brad, renting bikes in Tuscany or Provence?
I speak French better than Italian but Hubby has Tuscany very high on his list of Vespa-things to do... hint hint
