“Servus, my name is Nicolas, I’m 23 years old and I come from Styria, Austria. I’m currently doing my Master’s degree in Information and Computer Engineering, I’m an enthusiastic motorcyclist. I love spending my time in nature, hiking, camping and capturing moments with my camera.       Combining these things with motorcycling is simply great fun. I ride the Felsberg 125 in Timberwolf Grey and love the design and its rugged look. The Brixton is simply built for adventure.”

Tell us about your best and craziest journey?

My craziest trip lasted two weeks and stretched from Upper Styria through the heart of Austria, the Salzkammergut, to Salzburg on the border of Bavaria and back home again. Equipped with a tent, sleeping bag and clothing. This solo trip was definitely my most eventful ever. Driving on mountain roads, cooling off in the beautiful turquoise lakes and the incredible impressions and experiences made this trip simply unique.

In your opinion, is there anything that can be compared to riding a motorcycle?

Simply no, not really.

How long have you been part of the motorcycle crew?

I grew up as the son of an enthusiastic motorcycle rider, I had always admired this enthusiasm and passion, so it took hold of me too. My journey began in March 2024, when I decided to take the Code 111 extension. Once unsure whether this hobby would suit me, I soon realised after my first driving lessons that I would never want to miss this feeling of freedom again. At the beginning of April 2024 I bought a second-hand Felsberg 125.

How many motorcycles did you have before your Felsberg 125?

The Felsberg 125 is my first one. I can only recommend it to anyone, the overall package simply speaks for itself.

Why Brixton?

In my search for a motorcycle with a robust look, good quality and the ability to go on longer road trips with sufficient luggage, I came across the motorcycle from Brixton. A brand with models that cover all these points very well.

Ridden a lot already?

Since I bought it in April 2024, I’ve traveled over 3000 km on my trips to Italy and the Bavarian border.

How did you personalise your Felsberg 125?

Equipped with an exhaust from Arrow and an installed USB socket, not much more was needed after I bought the Brixton to make it road trip-ready. The only thing missing from the overall package was the installation of a mobile phone holder so that I could use my mobile phone as a navigation system.

How do you use your Brixton?

I mainly use the Brixton for everyday activities, such as the journey to university or spontaneous volleyball sessions at the lake. Otherwise, I invest in using my Brixton for road trips through Austria.

Have you ever been in a dangerous situation?

Unfortunately, often. You are constantly reminded that as a motorcyclist you take many risks on the road. It becomes particularly dangerous when car drivers take shortcuts.

One word: Why do you ride a motorcycle?

Freedom.

I love the efficiency and style of the Felsberg 125 and definitely plan to keep it for the rest of my studies, as it simply offers the perfect everyday package for me. The carefree commute and parking in the city are things I like.
