Dreaming of motorbikes
Nathan Athay shares a passion for bikes with his father. However, he has yet to achieve his dream...
"It all began with a little 50cc Suzuki. This started off my passion for motorbikes - passion that me and my dad share. We both love bikes, such as Super-bikes, Motorcross and Sunscooters...but we're not fussed on Harleys.
My great ambition is to own a fast, nice new bike...but this will never come true as I have a brother and two sisters, who have to have just as much stuff as I do, so this makes it virtually impossible unless my Mum wins the lottery or something like that!
All my friends like motorbikes. We love to talk about motorcross and being able to own motorbikes. I'm not trying to show off but I'm the only one who's able to have one, so this makes me superior...better than the rest!
My dad has owned some bikes but he's destroyed most of them, or they've been nicked so that doesn't help me a lot, does it? He's still got one bike but I don't think it will get very far without an engine attached. Anyway, there's another problem - the wheels aren't joined! So it looks like my dream of getting a new, fast bike won't be coming true for a while.
But some day, yes some day, I'll have the greatest, fastest, best bike in the world!"
