Bike_exifx1

 

It was interview homework, so I need to find someone and do interview and I did little one. 

And thanks Chris Hunter so much. He did more than interview for me. (You know him from BikeEXIF

I'm in preparation french class. So I can use a few words and because of using basic french, questions are short and simple. Firstly we did with english and I will translate to french for my homework. If I get "Tres bien!" I will share that with you! :P 

 

- Who are you and where are you from?

 

- My name is Chris Hunter and I live in Sydney, Australia, with my wife and three children. I’m English, I'm originally from London.

 

- What are you doing in life?

 

- By day I’m a creative director for an advertising agency. I occasionally write for marketing magazines and other websites, and in 2005 my first book was published. Bike EXIF is something I do in the evenings, and at weekends after the kids are in bed.

 

- What is Bike EXIF?

 

- The world's leading motorcycle culture and design website. I’m passionate about design, photography and motorcycles, and Bike EXIF is a way to combine all three. And to connect with other people who share the same interests, like you.

 

- Yes Sir, What are you riding? 

 

- My daily ride is a Moto Guzzi V7 Classic. I'm planning on getting a custom 1970s Guzzi V7 Sport or Le Mans one day.

 

- Why?   

 

- The V7 Classic is a great city bike, light and nimble in traffic. It's also powerful enough for long journeys, I did 2,500km around New South Wales and Victoria in five days back in January. And it starts first time every day!

 

- Which colour is your Moto Guzzi?

 

- White. That was the only colour available when it was launched!

 

- Which brands your favorite in motorcycle world?

Moto Guzzi, Ducati, BMW and Ural. In custom bikes, Deus Ex Machina, Ritmo Sereno and The Wrenchmonkees.

 

- You prefer Italian bikes or British bikes?

 

I like both. The only bikes I don't like are "universal Japanese motorcycles" and the current model Harley-Davidsons, apart from the XR1200.


- What is your favorite in other moto-blogs?    

 

Southsiders MC, The Vintagent, Greasy Kulture, RocketGarage, Italian Motor Magazine, Motorsport Retro.

 

Guessing, we have same heads about motorcycles with Monsieur Chris.
