About Sparks of Joy
Doing it afraid
I got my motorcycle license at 51 – finally turning a dream I’d had since I was 22 into reality.
It wasn’t easy, I had intense performance anxiety before and during my test.
Of course I failed.
After a talk with my psychologist and learning a few mental techniques, I tried again – on the very last day before the riding season ended for the examiners.
And I got my license!! I was EUPHORIC!
Still am years later.
I’m not built for it – but I’m doing it anyway.
I’m 160 cm tall (or small) and curvy. And I was definitely not “built” for the typical big adventure bike life. Yet, here I am.
Sparks of Joy is about my motorcycle journey, the honest and authentic version. The fear. The drops. The learning curves. The aha-moments. The mental teqniques.
And the pure, euphoric joy of growing into something you once thought wasn’t for you.
This isn’t about macho performance, far from it.
It’s about real progress. MY progress.
Today I ride a Triumph Tiger 900 GT Low – lowered a little bit more – proving that technique, mindset and stubborn joy can take you further than height ever will.
On Sparks of Joy, you’ll find:
A motorcycle journey that proves you don’t have to be fearless – just willing to try.
Hopefully I can inspire you to overcome your fear as well.
