“Fuck old school. I’m a real old guy. What looks vintage is vintage. Really!“ Albert laughs. He's a 67 year old biker. This story will cover his saga first, then about his ride. Al experienced the first years of his childhood in WWII-destroyed River-Rhein-Area in Germany in the early '40s. This industrial region was a
