Whilst the interview continues lets come back to the present day and have a look around Ulf's place and see his motorcycles.
Looking back did you enjoy the life of traveling all of the time, sleeping in hotels out of suitcases?
Yes, I enjoy this a lot, but across now many years later, you only remember the good things, but yes I like it. It is not easy to live life on the road for all of this time, when you are trying to make a profession it takes many years to become steady. At this time we had a very busy life, we had the children, I was painting out of season, travelling the world riding and I did this for year after year after year after year there was no much time for rest.
I understand that you are related to Martin Karlson another trials rider?
Yes, he is my father's cousin's son. It's a long way, but yes we are related.
So....whats in here? Please lead the way Ulf.............
